This volume covers the latest results on novel methods in Risk Analysis and assessment, with applications in Biostatistics (which is providing food for thought since the first ICRAs, covering traditional areas of RA, until now), Engineering Reliability, the Environmental Sciences and Economics. The contributions, based on lectures given at the 9th International Conference on Risk Analysis (ICRA 9), at Perugia, Italy, May 2022, detail a wide variety of daily risks, building on ideas presented at previous ICRA conferences. Working within a strong theoretical framework, supporting applications, the material describes a modern extension of the traditional research of the 1980s. This book is intended for graduate students in Mathematics, Statistics, Biology, Toxicology, Medicine, Management, and Economics, as well as quantitative researchers in Risk Analysis.

This book serves as a brief introduction to phylogenetic trees and molecular evolution for biologists and biology students. It does so by presenting the main concepts in a variety of ways: first visually, then in a history, next in a dice game, and finally in simple equations. The content is primarily designed to introduce upper-level undergraduate and graduate students of biology to phylogenetic tree reconstruction and the underlying models of molecular evolution. A unique feature also of interest to experienced researchers is the emphasis on simple ways to quantify the uncertainty in the results more fully than is possible with standard methods.

This book describes the variety of direct and indirect population size estimation (PSE) methods available along with their strengths and weaknesses. Direct estimation methods, such as enumeration and mapping, involve contact with members of hard-to-reach groups. Indirect methods have practical appeal because they require no contact with members of hard-to-reach groups. One indirect method in particular, network scale-up (NSU), has several strengths over other PSE methods: It can be applied at a province/country level, it can estimate size of several hard-to-reach population in a single study, and it is implemented with members of the general population rather than members of hard-to-reach groups. The book discusses methods to collect, analyze, and adjust results and presents methods to triangulate and finalize PSEs.

This book presents the applications of systems biology and synthetic biology in cancer medicine. It highlights the use of computational and mathematical models to decipher the complexity of cancer heterogeneity. The book emphasizes the modeling approaches for predicting behavior of cancer cells, tissues in context of drug response, and angiogenesis. It introduces cell-based therapies for the treatment of various cancers and reviews the role of neural networks for drug response prediction. Further, it examines the system biology approaches for the identification of medicinal plants in cancer drug discovery. It explores the opportunities for metabolic engineering in the realm of cancer research towards development of new cancer therapies based on metabolically derived targets. Lastly, it discusses the applications of data mining techniques in cancer research. This book is an excellent guide for oncologists and researchers who are involved in the latest cancer research.

Depuis quelques années, tant au niveau national que transnational, la biométrie s’impose comme une technologie privilégiée d’identification des personnes. En effet, elle fait l’objet d’un essor considérable dans la sphère domestique, dans les établissements scolaires, dans les entreprises, dans le champ de la sécurité, etc.Ce phénomène soulève une profusion de nouveaux enjeux. De quelle manière appréhender la biométrie au regard de l’histoire longue des procédures visant à déterminer et fixer la singularité de chacun ? Comment les dispositifs biométriques fonctionnent-ils ? Quelles populations prennent-ils prioritairement pour cible ? Comment la biométrie affecte-t-elle la notion d’identité individuelle et le statut conféré au corps humain ? Constitue-t-elle une menace pour la vie privée et les droits fondamentaux ? À quels enjeux économiques renvoie-t-elle ? Dans quelle mesure son utilisation transforme-t-elle les logiques à l’œuvre dans l’univers policier ? Pourquoi certains l’acceptent-ils sans rechigner tandis que d’autres s’y opposent avec virulence en pointant les graves dangers dont elle serait porteuse ?Ce sont quelques-unes des questions passionnantes auxquelles s’intéressent les nombreuses contributions ici rassemblées. Croisant les regards de chercheurs issus de pays et de disciplines différentes (histoire, droit, science poli­tique, anthropologie, philosophie, etc.) et ceux d’acteurs en prise directe avec certains aspects de la biométrie du fait des fonctions qu’ils exercent, cet ouvrage collectif s’impose comme incontournable pour tous ceux qui sont désireux de mieux comprendre la complexité d’un sujet au cœur de l’actualité n’ayant pourtant jusqu’alors été que très peu étudié.
