Product Description
The goal of this book is to search for a balance between simple and analyzable models and unsolvable models which are capable of addressing important questions on population biology. Part I focusses on single species simple models including those which have been used to predict the growth of human and animal population in the past. Single population models are, in some sense, the building blocks of more realistic models -- the subject of Part II. Their role is fundamental to the study of ecological and demographic processes including the role of population structure and spatial heterogeneity -- the subject of Part III. This book, which will include both examples and exercises, is of use to practitioners, graduate students, and scientists working in the field. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars An interesting book about a short-lived college
COLEGIO CESAR CHAVEZ documents the founding and brief existence of the college that once existed in Mt. Angel, a town about 12 miles north of Oregon's capital city of Salem. "Colegio César Chávez" was, in its day, the only four-year Chicano college in the United States. Colegio César Chávez was years in the planning, but it stayed open only long enough to graduate about one class of students. Maldonado demonstrates how Colegio was destined for failure, and was even referred to by some as "the longest running death in history." He says that Colegio should be studied for its opportunity to provide future colleges with a guidebook of pitfalls and how to avoid them.

The obstacles Colegio faced were many. Colegio was a college-without-walls organization, which meant students met with teachers whenever they wanted and many students did not even attend classes on site but were correspondence students (some from as far away as New York and Canada) and therefore little sense of campus community was formed. Another problem was the apathy, and at times distain, of the local community - largely a farming community - for a college named after a man considered by many farmers to be a rabble-rouser; Maldonado argues that if Colegio had been founded in either California or a state in the South West - where the Mexican community is most vibrant - it may've succeeded. Yet another problem Colegio faced was the wave of political conservativism of the 1980s and what the author refers to as the collapse of the "Chicano" movement. And to top it off, the staff of Colegio was too small, too inexperienced, too over-worked, and eventually succumbed to infighting. After reading about the tortured history of this innovative idea, I was left thinking that longevity was perhaps not the true goal of Colegio's founders. I think the founders wanted simply to make a statement to the larger community in the Willamette Valley, and Oregon as a whole, the statement that they had a voice and mattered. Colegio may have closed its doors, but the statement was made.

On a personal note, I am thankful that Mr. Maldonado wrote this book about Colegio because it helped me understand an aspect of my life history: my family and I lived on the campus of Colegio -my father, Arthur Olivo, was the grounds keeper of the college and he tutored some of the students - for the last two years of the college's existence. Over the years I have thought a lot about Colegio and had many unanswered questions (and since my father's death in 2001, Colegio has come to be, in my mind at least, a symbol of my father). Mr. Maldonado answered many of the questions I had.

COLEGIO CESAR CHAVEZ will be of interest to those with a strong interest in all aspects of the "Chicano" movement, César Chávez, and Mexican American history in the Pacific Northwest and specifically in the state of Oregon. Such readers would most likely also be interested in the book NOSTOROS: THE HISPANIC PEOPLE OF OREGON which contains a subsection about Colegio César Chávez. I didn't know at the time (I was only six-years-old when my family and I moved from the campus) that I was living through a part of Chicano history, and I am honored to know that I did. I'm very happy to know that a book has been published about Colegio and that others will come to know about my former home. ... Read more

Product Description
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference on Modeling the Dynamics of Human Diseases: Emerging Paradigms and Challenges, held in Snowbird, Utah, July 17-21, 2005.The goal of the conference was to bring together leading and upcoming researchers to discuss the latest advances and challenges associated with the modeling of the dynamics of emerging and re-emerging diseases, and to explore various control strategies. The articles included in this book are devoted to some of the significant recent advances, trends, and challenges associated with the mathematical modeling and analysis of the dynamics and control of some diseases of public health importance. In addition to illustrating many of the diverse prevailing epidemiological challenges, together with the diversity of mathematical approaches needed to address them, this book provides insights on a number of topical modeling issues such as the modeling and control of mosquito-borne diseases, respiratory diseases, animal diseases (such as foot-and-mouth disease), cancer and tumor growth modeling, influenza, HIV, HPV, rotavirus, etc. This book also touches upon other important topics such as the use of modeling in homeland security and some review and new results on various modeling paradigms including network, stochastic and deterministic formulations together with the use of optimal control and related methods for evaluating control strategies. ...

Product Description
This book on Infectious Disease Informatics (IDI) and biosurveillance is intended to provide an integrated view of the current state of the art, identify technical and policy challenges and opportunities, and promote cross-disciplinary research that takes advantage of novel methodology and what we have learned from innovative applications. This book also fills a systemic gap in the literature by emphasizing informatics driven perspectives (e.g., information system design, data standards, computational aspects of biosurveillance algorithms, and system evaluation). Finally, this book attempts to reach policy makers and practitioners through the clear and effective communication of recent research findings in the context of case studies in IDI and biosurveillance, providing“hands-on” in-depth opportunities to practitioners to increase their understanding of value, applicability, and limitations of technical solutions. This book collects the state of the art research and modern perspectives of distinguished individuals and research groups on cutting-edge IDI technical and policy research and its application in biosurveillance. The contributed chapters are grouped into three units. Unit I provides an overview of recent biosurveillance research while highlighting the relevant legal and policy structures in the context of IDI and biosurveillance ongoing activities. It also identifies IDI data sources while addressing information collection, sharing, and dissemination issues as well as ethical considerations. Unit II contains survey chapters on the types of surveillance methods used to analyze IDI data in the context of public health and bioterrorism. Specific computational techniques covered include: text mining, time series analysis, multiple data streams methods, ensembles of surveillance methods, spatial analysis and visualization, social network analysis, and agent-based simulation. Unit III examines IT and decision support for public health event response and bio-defense. Practical lessons learned in developing public health and biosurveillance systems, technology adoption, and syndromic surveillance for large events are discussed. The goal of this book is to provide an understandable interdisciplinary IDI and biosurveillance reference either used as a standalone textbook or reference for students, researchers, and practitioners inpublic health, veterinary medicine, biostatistics, information systems, computer science, and public administration and policy. ...

Carlos Antonio de Padua Chávez y Ramírez (13 June 1899 2 August 1978) was a Mexican composer , conductor , music theorist, educator, journalist, and founder and director of the Mexican Symphonic Orchestra . He was influenced by native Mexican cultures. Of his six Symphonies, his Symphony No. 2 , which uses native Yaqui percussion instruments, is probably the most popular. Biography The seventh child of a creole family, Chávez was born on Tacuba avenue in Mexico City , near the suburb of Popotla (Garcia Morillo 1960, 11). His paternal grandfather, José María Chávez Alonzo, served as governor of the state of Aguascalientes and was ordered executed by Emperor Maximilian in 1864. His father, Augustín Chávez, invented a plough that was produced and used in the United States , and died when Carlos was barely three years old (Parker 1998, 3). Carlos had his first piano lessons from his brother Manuel, and later on he was taught by Asunción Parra, Manuel Ponce and Pedro Luis Ozagón, for piano, and later Juan Fuentes for harmony. His family often went on vacations to Tlaxcala , Michoacán , Guanajuato , Oaxaca and other places where the cultural influence of the Aztec and other indigenous peoples was still very strong (Parker 2001). In 1916, Chávez and friends started a cultural journal, Gladios , and this led to Chávez joining the staff of the Mexico City newspaper El Universal in 1924. In the succeeding 36 years he wrote over 500 items for this paper (Parker 2001; García Morillo 1960, 230 36). After the Mexican Revolution a... ... Read more
