Overview and Goals Data arriving in time order (a data stream) arises in fields ranging from physics to finance to medicine to music, just to name a few. Often the data comes from sensors (in physics and medicine for example) whose data rates continue to improve dramati­ cally as sensor technology improves. Further, the number of sensors is increasing, so correlating data between sensors becomes ever more critical in orderto distill knowl­ edge from the data. On-line response is desirable in many applications (e.g., to aim a telescope at a burst of activity in a galaxy or to perform magnetic resonance-based real-time surgery). These factors - data size, bursts, correlation, and fast response­ motivate this book. Our goal is to help you design fast, scalable algorithms for the analysis of single or multiple time series. Not only will you find useful techniques and systems built from simple primi­ tives, but creative readers will find many other applications of these primitives and may see how to create new ones of their own. Our goal, then, is to help research mathematicians and computer scientists find new algorithms and to help working scientists and financial mathematicians design better, faster software.

Overweight and the Metabolic Syndrome will provide an overview of topics related to obesity, including associated health risks, childhood obesity, genetics, evaluation, treatment, behavioral strategies, and successes and failures in preventing obesity. The body composition that underlies obesity and the metabolic syndrome is key to understanding the problem. The mechanisms by which energy balance is maintained is key to how the problem goes wrong. The metabolic syndrome is in part a consequence of central fat storage, but includes more issues such as insulin resistance, low levels of inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. This volume will cover evaluation guidelines, different approaches to treatment, including diet, exercise, behavior, drugs, and surgery to deal with the current world-wide obesity epidemic.

La obesidad se ha convertido en uno de los principales problemas de salud pública, con un creciente aumento de su prevalencia a nivel mundial.Abordando muchos aspectos de la investigación contemporánea en obesidad, este libro realizado por algunos de los principales expertos en el área explora aspectos relacionados con la biología, diagnóstico, tratamiento y prevención de la obesidad, incluida la obesidad infantil. Este trabajo está en sintonía con las necesidades de las personas que viven con obesidad, incluyendo un capítulo dedicado al daño causado por el estigma del peso y las falsas narrativas sobre las opciones de estilo de vida."Obesidad, la otra pandemia del siglo XXI" revisa las evidencias disponibles para demostrar que la obesidad debe considerarse no solo como un condicionante esencial para el desarrollo de otras comorbilidades, sino como una enfermedad por sí misma. Es importante destacar que se aborda el efecto de la pandemia de COVID-19, que incrementó la complejidad y gravedad de la obesidad y que debe ser un llamado a la acción para la prevención y tratamiento temprano de esta enfermedad.Este libro ha sido desarrollado por colaboradores de la Federación Mundial de Obesidad y está dirigido a profesionales de la salud, académicos, legisladores, estudiantes, pacientes que viven con obesidad y a todas las personas afectas por este problema.La investigación cubierta en estas páginas demuestra que la obesidad se está convirtiendo rápidamente en "la otra pandemia" del siglo XXI. Al igual que cualquier gran pandemia, la consecuencia de la inacción es realmente alarmante.
