A First Course in Statistical Programming with R

Cambridge University Press, 2008

This text began as notes for a course in statistical computing for second year actuarial and statistical students at the University of Western Ontario. Both authors are interested in statistical computing, both as support for our other research and for its own sake. However, we have found that our students were not learning the right sort of...

IMS Application Developer's Handbook: Creating and Deploying Innovative IMS Applications

Academic Press, 2011

Many books have been written about IMS, so why do we think another is needed? Most of the existing books are written from the perspective of those who implement the technology, either network vendors or operators. There is no such focus for developers. The standards that form the basis of IMS are complex – as they are...

Frommer's Montreal & Quebec City 2008 (Frommer's Complete Guides)

Frommers, 2007

Québec spent 2007 gearing up for its 400th anniversary party. New Year’s Eve (Dec 31, 2007) is the official kickoff, but most events take place from June to September 2008. The waterfront has been spruced up, museums are mounting special anniversary-related exhibits, and shows featuring the Cirque du Soleil and other performers...

Immunodominance

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

The normal, intact immune system does not have equal probability of responding to every potential part of a protein. It has been known for more than 50 years that only parts of the protein that are “outside” are available for antibody binding. Yet, with the advent of Western blotting techniques, antibodies that react...

SAS/STAT 9.2 User's Guide: Statistical Graphics Using ODS (Book Excerpt)

SAS Institute, 2009

Effective graphics are indispensable for modern statistical analysis. They reveal patterns, differences, and uncertainty that are not readily apparent in tabular output. Graphics provoke questions that stimulate deeper investigation, and they add visual clarity and rich content to reports and presentations.

Congestive Heart Failure

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Having first decided to organize and edit a book on heart failure in 1992 (with a 1994 publication date), we have been astounded at the changes in the field over a relatively brief 14-year period. It is with some amusement that we now look back at our first edition and note a combined chapter of beta agonists and...

Microbiology in Action (Studies in Biology)

Cambridge University Press, 1999

When we wrote Introductory Microbiology some very hard decisions had to be made concerning the contents of the book. We were constrained by the style of the Studies in Biology series to write a book of no more than 200 pages. In the end, we decided that students needed a description of what microorganisms were and how they can...

Operating System Concepts with Java

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

Operating systems are an essential part of any computer system. Similarly, a course on operating systems is an essential part of any computer-science education. This field is undergoing rapid change, as computers are now prevalent in virtually every application, from games for children through the most sophisticated planning...

Analgesia, Anaesthesia and Pregnancy: A Practical Guide

Cambridge University Press, 2007

There are now many large and authoritative texts on obstetric anaesthesia and analgesia available to the anaesthetic trainee. With reduced time available for obstetric anaesthetic training, we feel there is a need for a shorter, more practically based text, suitable for both the trainee starting in the maternity suite and the...

Achieving operative excellence is an important endeavor for all companies – it is the golden path that leads to increased value over the long term.

By applying operative levers systematically and managing them correctly, companies are doing everything in their power to ensure that...

Head and Neck Manifestations of Systemic Disease

CRC Press, 2007

In thinking about a contribution we could make to the modern practice of medicine that had not yet been achieved by others, we remembered what constituted the complete physician at the time of Sir William Osler: A working knowledge of multiple disciplines and of disease processes that affect many organ systems. This was perhaps...

Textbook of Musculoskeletal Medicine

Oxford University Press, 2005

The most authoritative contemporary textbook on the core components of the rapidly developing medical disclipline known as Musculoskeletal Medicine - the "Bible" for clinicians, both medical practitioners and therapists, who wish to advance their knowledge of the evaluation and non-surgical management of back pain and a range of...
