This book provides a pioneering approach to modeling the human diabetic patient using a software agent. It is based on two MASc (Master of Applied Science) theses: one looking at the evolution of the patient agent in time, and another looking the interaction of the patient agent with the healthcare system. It shows that the software agent evolves in a manner analogous to the human patient and exhibits typical attributes of the illness such as reacting to food consumption, medications, and activity.

Our Solar System is one of the most interesting places in the galaxy – perhaps in the entire universe. It’s the only place we know of so far that harbours life, on one small blue-green planet in the habitable zone of its star. But our planetary neighbours are interesting in their own right too. In this complete guide to our circumstellar neighbourhood, you’ll discover everything you need to know about them, from the warm rocky world of Mercury to the distant orbit of the object scientists call Farfarout. You’ll discover a wealth of worlds – not just the main eight planets but some of the moons that orbit them, and the dwarf planets that swing through the outer reaches of transneptunian space. The planets and moons of our Solar System will be some of the first places humans will explore when we finally venture beyond our own Earth and Moon. Isn’t it time you got to know them?

This book explores the opportunities and obstacles to a presidential system in Turkey as proposed by the Justice and Development Party (AK Party). Since the formation of Turkey's parliamentary system in 1909, there have been many attempts to replace it with an elected executive branch. After the referendum for constitutional amendment to elect the president by the people in 2007 and the elections of 2014, these discussions have increased in intensity. The author explores these debates chronologically and discusses the broader theoretical framework of these different government systems. He also adds a comparative analysis of elections and democratic transition between Turkey, Tunisia, and Egypt.
