Scientists in the throes of research use an extensive data bank to access structural information on proteins and nucleic acids. Meanwhile, geneticists use a highly specialized form of software to analyze the hybridization pattern of DNA chips.
The past decade has been tremendously successful for biotechnology and pharmaceutical...
Developing games for the iPhone or iPad can be a lot of fun. It is one of the few
things we can do to feel like a kid again. Everyone, it seems, has an idea for a game,
and what better platform to develop for than the iPhone and iPad?

and atmosphere. These measurements are normally
made by instruments carried by satellites or aircraft, and
are used to infer the nature and characteristics of the
land or sea surface, or of the atmosphere, at the...
Parallel complexity theory, the study of resource-bounded parallel computation,
is surely one of the fastest-growing areas of theoretical Computer Science. In the
light of this, it would be foolish to attempt an encyclopedic coverage of the field.
However, it is the belief of the author that its foundations are becoming increas
ingly...
From its beginnings, the Internet has fostered communication, collaboration and
networking between users. However, the first boom at the turn of the millennium

Maybe you have some followers, maybe you don’t... perhaps you’ve found a few interesting Instagram photographers to follow and have...
With the advent of LSI and subsequently VLSI, technology has never
witnessed such an unprecedented growth in the use of electronic systems in a
wide range of applications. Although the ability to integrate several hundreds
of thousands of transistors into a monolithic integrated circuit offers many
advantages, a major concern in the...
Competing in today's world requires a greater emphasis on strategy, long-range planning, and decision making, and this is why businesses are building data warehouses. Data warehouses are becoming more and more common as businesses have realized the need to mine the information that is stored in electronic form. Data warehouses provide...
This book is broken into three parts. The first introduces the three projects that will be
used throughout this book, the second introduces some of the most common themes
in creating interaction in designs and applications, and the third introduces some of
the more advanced topics that you may want to explore further. Also...
With a user base of nearly 800 million people, Facebook is the number one social networking platform. Applications can be created to interact with this huge user base in various ways both inside and outside Facebook. These applications, if developed effectively and efficiently, offer a free medium for promotion and publicity of a product or...
