The ITIL 2011 Editions have been updated for clarity, consistency, correctness and completeness. In order to meet current and future business requirements, ITIL Service Design provides guidance on the production and maintenance of IT policies, architectures and documents for the design of appropriate and innovative IT infrastructure services...
I have long lost count of how many websites I’ve built. You would think after having built a few hundred of them I would have discovered the “one true way” of doing it. I don’t think there is one true way. What I have discovered are techniques that can keep CSS more organized and more structured, leading to code that...
I wrote Confident Public Speaking because I believe anyone can become an effective
public speaker, and that all of us can improve our public speaking skills. Effective
public speaking is a process that improves as we cultivate it. Confident
public speakers are not perfect at this craft but are effective at it, and effective...
All over the world we are witnessing a revolution in organizing. Just as the
industrial revolution created its new form of organization (bureaucracy),
the information revolution is creating its own new form of organization.
We are moving from command and control to collaboration, from organizing
based on a few leaders telling...
Rabies offers a complete account of one of the oldest known diseases threatening public health today. Unlike most research-oriented descriptions of rabies, this book provides a narrative about the disease and its etiologic agent, encompassing the historical background to recent developments. The emphasis on the basic biology and...
The study of parasitic organisms at the molecular level has yielded fascinating new insights of great medical, social, and economical importance, and has pointed the way for the treatment and prevention of the diseases they cause. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Parasites presents an up-to-date account of this modern scientific...
Due to the ability of graphs to represent properties of entities and binary relations at the same time, a growing interest in graph based object repre sentation can be observed in science and engineering. Yet, graphs are still not the common data structure in pattern recognition and related fields. The reason for this is twofold. First,...
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...
The overall structure of this handbook is similar to that of the British National Formulary, with monographs arranged broadly by therapeutic category. When a drug has several different uses, these are brought together in a single monograph; this will allow the reader to appreciate in full range of actions, whether therapeutic or adverse. The...
Radiologists have long been interested in imaging and measuring blood fl ow and in
characterising the structure of blood vessels within pathological tissues. In 1927 Egas
Moniz described the technique of cerebral angiography using injection of radio-opaque
contrast agent combined with conventional radiology. His earlier published...
In the post-genomic era we have, at our fingertips, an incredible array of genomic sequences from a multitude of complex organisms. There remains, however, the critical need to understand the precise roles individual genes play in complex biological milieu. Synthetic nucleic acids are at the cutting-edge of molecular strategies that target...
