Case Studies in Mathematical Modelling for Medical Devices: How Pulse Oximeters and Doppler Ultrasound Fetal Heart Rate Monitors Work focuses on three medical devices used to monitor some aspect of physiological status: pulse oximetry, laser Doppler flowmetry and Doppler ultrasound fetal heart rate monitoring. The book's three case studies serve as the basis for readers to be able to generalize modeling to other medical devices. It introduces mathematical topics that appear in many areas of science and engineering by demonstrating the value of being able to model how devices work. This requires a brief description of their operating principles before appropriate mathematics. Containing three parts about each medical device, the book begins with a chapter on probability distributions that will be used in oximetry and laser Doppler flowmetry parts. This book is for MSc and PhD students in biomedical engineering and those interested in the mathematics behind the design of the instrumentation that they use.

Machine Learning for Low-Latency Communications presents the principles and practice of various deep learning methodologies for mitigating three critical latency components: access latency, transmission latency, and processing latency. In particular, the book develops learning to estimate methods via algorithm unrolling and multiarmed bandit for reducing access latency by enlarging the number of concurrent transmissions with the same pilot length. Task-oriented learning to compress methods based on information bottleneck are given to reduce the transmission latency via avoiding unnecessary data transmission.Lastly, three learning to optimize methods for processing latency reduction are given which leverage graph neural networks, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and domain knowledge. Low-latency communications attracts considerable attention from both academia and industry, given its potential to support various emerging applications such as industry automation, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality and telesurgery. Despite the great promise, achieving low-latency communications is critically challenging. Supporting massive connectivity incurs long access latency, while transmitting high-volume data leads to substantial transmission latency.
