Since the first attempts to model proteins on a computer began almost thirty years ago, our understanding of protein structure and dynamics has dramatically increased. Spectroscopic measurement techniques continue to improve in resolution and sensitivity, allowing a wealth of information to be obtained with regard to the kinetics of protein...
“The book itself is a diagram of clarification, containing hundreds of examples of work by those who favor the communication of information over style and academic postulation—and those who don’t. Many blurbs such as this are written without a thorough reading of the book. Not so in this case. I read it and love it. I...
In the last decade there has been an explosion of interest in the modeling and automation of business processes, and competence in this area is seen as increasingly critical to business competitiveness and stability. However, this has lead to a parallel explosion in solution approaches and technologies leading to a state-of-the-art that is...
CCNP Security IPS 642-627 Official Cert Guide is a best-of-breed Cisco exam study guide that focuses specifically on the objectives for the CCNP Security IPS exam. Senior security engineers David Burns,...
As Eric S. Raymond reminds us, Open Source Software will continue to shape the
dynamics of the computer software industry for the next long while, just as it has for the
last decade. Coined and perpetuated by hackers, the term “Open Source Software” refers
to software in which the source code is freely available to...
Everything that surrounds us is matter. The origin of the word matter
is mater (Latin) or matri (Sanskrit), for mother. In this sense, human
beings anthropomorphized that which made them possible – that
which gave them nourishment. Every scientific discipline concerns
itself with matter. Of all matter surrounding us, a...
Building distributed yet integrated systems remains a difficult problem to solve. First,
it requires a solid understanding of the individual components to be connected. Next,
we have to connect these components in a way that balances loose coupling against
system-wide requirements, such as latency and security. Last...
Graduate students, researchers, and professionals in the field of computer networking
often require a firm conceptual understanding of its theoretical foundations.
Knowledge of optimization, information theory, game theory, control theory, and
queueing theory is assumed by research papers in the...
The recent remarkable development of microsystems dates back to 1983 when
Richard P. Feynman of California University delivered a speech to a large
audience of scientists and engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He presented
the concept of sacrificed etchingto fabricate a silicon micromotor, and
pointed out the need for...
About 2 years ago, in the spring of 2010, Microsoft released Silverlight 4. Silverlight 4 proved
to be a platform ready for Line-of-Business application development. Numerous developers
learned how to build great apps with it, which can run both within the browser and as a
stand-alone application on the user's machine....
