Written and edited by some of the world's top experts in the field, this exciting new volume provides state-of-the-art research and latest technological breakthroughs in data wrangling, its theoretical concepts, practical applications, and tools for solving everyday problems. Data wrangling is the process of cleaning and unifying messy and complex data sets for easy access and analysis. This process typically includes manually converting and mapping data from one raw form into another format to allow for more convenient consumption and organization of the data. Data wrangling is increasingly ubiquitous at today's top firms. Data cleaning focuses on removing inaccurate data from your data set whereas data wrangling focuses on transforming the data's format, typically by converting "raw" data into another format more suitable for use. Data wrangling is a necessary component of any business. Data wrangling solutions are specifically designed and architected to handle diverse, complex data at any scale, including many applications, such as Datameer, Infogix, Paxata, Talend, Tamr, TMMData, and Trifacta. This book synthesizes the processes of data wrangling into a comprehensive overview, with a strong focus on recent and rapidly evolving agile analytic processes in data-driven enterprises, for businesses and other enterprises to use to find solutions for their everyday problems and practical applications. Whether for the veteran engineer, scientist, or other industry professional, this book is a must have for any library.

Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID) is the new frontier of patient care that deals with the causes of dental disease, and not just the symptoms. There has been a growth in the percentage of the population that is dentate--they have at least one natural tooth--in the last forty years. We are, however, facing a new era of dentate population with heavily restored dentition due to a previously held belief in the field of maximum extension for maximum retention. This in turn created complicated dental problems where a patient is in a vicious restorative cycle with no way out.Minimally Invasive Dentistry provides a practical introduction to MID across all the dental specialties. Relying on earlier research on minimally invasive dentistry for the management of caries, this book introduces the concept of MID and how it may be applied across the dental disciplines. It focuses on key concepts of MID, including saliva as a natural product, the early detection of diseases, risk assessment, materials, innovative techniques, and the implementation of preventative strategies with health education for patients. In this way, this book offers a comprehensive look at this important branch of dentistry.Minimally Invasive Dentistry readers will also find:* A unique approach to minimally invasive dentistry across all dental disciplines* Contributions from a diverse group of international authors* Supported by a companion website with case studies and interactive MCQs to test your knowledgeMinimally Invasive Dentistry isa useful reference for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students, and is also a practical guide for the whole dental team.
