This Seventh Edition of Basic Neurochemistry: Molecular, Cellular and Medical Aspects is appearing near to the 50th anniversary of the founding of neurochemistry as a discipline. This seems an appropriate time to examine the progress of neurochemistry and of this book. To make this brief, we will look at only two topics, which may be...

Thinking in terms of facts and rules is perhaps one of the most common ways of approaching problem definition and problem solving both in everyday life and under more formal circumstances. The best known set of rules, the Ten Commandments have been accompanying us since the times of Moses; the Decalogue proved to be simple but...

Large-scale information systems in public utility services depend on computing infrastructure. Many research efforts are being made in related areas, such as cloud computing, sensor networks, mobile computing, high-level user interfaces and information accesses by Web users. Government agencies in many countries plan to launch...

Textbook surgical education usually follows a predictable format involving fairly in-depth descriptions of various pathologic conditions including etiology, pathophysiology, symptomatology, diagnostic procedures, conservative management, and surgical treatment. Although there is variation in the emphasis different books place on each...

PHP Master is aimed at intermediate PHP developers—those who have left their newbie status behind, and are looking to advance their skills and knowledge. Our aim as authors is to enable developers to refine their skills across a number of areas, and so we’ve picked topics that we felt have stood us in the best stead to grow...

KINEMATICS is a branch of dynamics that studies aspects of motion apart from considerations of masses and forces. Essentially, Kinematics is a collection of vector/matrix methods to describe positions, velocities and accelerations of particles and rigid bodies, as viewed from various reference frames. The sub-eld of Particle Kinematics...

Thanks for buying the Windows Server 2008 Portable Command Guide: MCTS 70-640, 70-642, 70-643, and MCITP 70-646, 70-647 . I’d love to say that this book was my idea, but the real credit goes to Scott Empson who originally developed the vision of this book with Cisco certifications. I’ve worked with Scott and Pearson...

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 tools for...
