AI for Arts

AI for Arts

AI for Arts is a book for anyone fascinated by the man–machine connection an unstoppable evolution that is intertwining us with technology in an ever-greater degree and where there is an increasing concern that it will be technology that comes out on top. Thus presented here through perhaps its most esoteric form namely art this unfolding conundrum is brought to its apex. What is left of us humans if artificial intelligence also surpasses us when it comes to art? The articulation of an artificial intelligence art manifesto is long overdue so hopefully this book can fill a gap that will have repercussions not only for aesthetic and philosophical considerations but possibly more so for the development of artificial intelligence.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Considerations for the Veterinary Team

Pregnancy and Postpartum Considerations for the Veterinary Team

Precautions often apply to pregnancy in any workplace but being a vet in practice presents additional specific risks. There are concerns and uncertainty about potential hazards from radiation and inhalant anesthesia exposure to zoonoses and the additional mental stress in a profession that already carries high suicide risk. This book reviews considerations for professionals in clinical veterinary medicine (large and small animal) while pregnant and after giving birth. Veterinarian and veterinary writer consultant and mentor Dr Emily Singler speaks directly to veterinary team members (veterinarians technicians CSRs assistants students) who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. She delivers scientific information on the specific risks to the mother and baby that may be encountered during pregnancy while working in veterinary medicine with some of her own and others’ experiences to add perspective and humor. The book also covers topics related to mental health challenges announcing a pregnancy and planning for parental leave navigating the fourth trimester and returning to work. We hope that having read this book veterinary professionals – whether pregnant or working with pregnant colleagues – will feel better supported and empowered to make informed decisions. | Pregnancy and Postpartum Considerations for the Veterinary Team

Mixed Effects Models for the Population Approach Models Tasks Methods and Tools

Mixed Effects Models for the Population Approach Models Tasks Methods and Tools

Wide-Ranging Coverage of Parametric Modeling in Linear and Nonlinear Mixed Effects ModelsMixed Effects Models for the Population Approach: Models Tasks Methods and Tools presents a rigorous framework for describing implementing and using mixed effects models. With these models readers can perform parameter estimation and modeling across a whole population of individuals at the same time. Easy-to-Use Techniques and Tools for Real-World Data ModelingThe book first shows how the framework allows model representation for different data types including continuous categorical count and time-to-event data. This leads to the use of generic methods such as the stochastic approximation of the EM algorithm (SAEM) for modeling these diverse data types. The book also covers other essential methods including Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and importance sampling techniques. The author uses publicly available software tools to illustrate modeling tasks. Methods are implemented in Monolix and models are visually explored using Mlxplore and simulated using Simulx. Careful Balance of Mathematical Representation and Practical ImplementationThis book takes readers through the whole modeling process from defining/creating a parametric model to performing tasks on the model using various mathematical methods. Statisticians and mathematicians will appreciate the rigorous representation of the models and theoretical properties of the methods while modelers will welcome the practical capabilities of the tools. The book is also useful for training and teaching in any field where population modeling occurs. | Mixed Effects Models for the Population Approach Models Tasks Methods and Tools
