Introduction to Structural Bioinformatics offers a complete overview on the fundamental concepts and methodologies of structural bioinformatics and computational structural biology. The book is divided into three sections, beginning with a discussion of the key principles of bioinformatics and fundamental aspects, including bioinformatics databases, multiple sequence alignment, and machine learning. Section two then moves on to structural bioinformatics, where topics include Monte Carlo simulation, protein structure prediction, RNA structure prediction, and protein design. The final section of the book focuses on experimental structural determination, where chapters focus on techniques including X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance and cryo-electron microscopy. This is an ideal guide on key principles, methods, and the most up-to-date developments across structural bioinformatics and computational structural biology. It will be a comprehensive reference for postgraduate students, instructors, and researchers working in these and adjacent subjects.Discusses cutting-edge AI and deep-learning techniques, including AlphaFold and D-I-TASSER, along with their impact on structural bioinformaticsExplores protein and RNA structure predictionConsiders the most recent advances in the field as well as more classical physics-based approachesFeatures chapter outlines, definitions, key learning objectives, and case studies throughout the book to aid comprehension

An exquisite monograph on contemporary artist Minjung Kim, whose abstract works created from traditional Korean materials have garnered her global acclaimMinjung Kim: Ink, Paper, Fire is the first monograph of one of today’s most exciting contemporary artists. Known for manipulating paper and ink to produce an extraordinary variety of abstract works, Kim’s practice incorporates distinctive elements: her use of traditional Korean hanji paper (made from mulberry bark), calligraphic ink, and brushes, echoes her early education in traditional arts at Hongik University in Seoul, while her abstract composition and mark-making, and painstaking process of cutting, burning, and layering the paper, became a consistent part of her practice later, while studying at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan.Kim works in series, creating multiple works in similar styles using similar techniques, all bearing the same title. Selections from more than 50 series are included here, revealing work in dramatically different color schemes, compositions, and scales. Organized by series, rather than chronologically, the book invites readers to see the how different works influence and grow out of one another, and how the artist revisits certain bodies of work after years have passed. The cyclical nature of Kim’s process speaks to themes of nature, spirituality, creation, and time.The book’s stunning, spare design gives her work the primary focus while echoing its simplicity and materiality. Image banks are punctuated with texts, including essays and a conversation between Minjung Kim and critic Andrew Russeth, printed on different paper stocks.

This monograph introduces methods for handling filtering and control problems in nonlinear stochastic systems arising from network-induced phenomena consequent on limited communication capacity. Such phenomena include communication delay, packet dropout, signal quantization or saturation, randomly occurring nonlinearities and randomly occurring uncertainties.The text is self-contained, beginning with an introduction to nonlinear stochastic systems, network-induced phenomena and filtering and control, moving through a collection of the latest research results which focuses on the three aspects of:·         the state-of-the-art of nonlinear filtering and control;·         recent advances in recursive filtering and sliding mode control; and·         their potential for application in networked control systems, and concluding with some ideas for future research work. New concepts such as the randomly occurring uncertainty and the probability-constrained performance index are proposed to make the network models as realistic as possible. The power of combinations of such recent tools as the completing-the-square and sums-of-squares techniques, Hamilton‒Jacobi‒Isaacs matrix inequalities, difference linear matrix inequalities and parameter-dependent matrix inequalities is exploited in treating the mathematical and computational challenges arising from nonlinearity and stochasticity.Nonlinear Stochastic Systems with Network-Induced Phenomena establishes a unified framework of control and filtering which will be of value to academic researchers in bringing structure to problems associated with an important class of networked system and offering new means of solving them. The significance of the new concepts, models and methods presented for practical control engineering and signal processing will also make it a valuable reference for engineers dealing with nonlinear control and filteringproblems.
