There are many students and professionals in science and engineering, other than those specifically
interested in fields such as computer science or computer engineering, who need to
know how to solve computational problems on computers. There are basically two approaches
to meeting the needs of such people. One is to rely on software...
Cancers share a restricted set of characteristics crucial to the tumor phenotype:
proliferation in the absence of external growth stimuli, avoidance of apoptosis and
