Adobe Flash Professional CS5 is the latest version of the enormously popular web design tool. In its original incarnation, Flash gave web designers an efficient way to send artwork and animation over limitedbandwidth connections. Flash’s claim to fame was its ability to deliver vector images over the web, making download times shorter....
Our goal in writing this book was to combine a strong emphasis on problem solving
and software design with the study of data structures. To this end, we discuss applications
of each data structure to motivate its study. After providing the specification
(a header file) and the implementation of an abstract data type, we cover case...
This book is about the thermodynamics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that make
up the metabolism of living organisms. It is not an introductory text, but the
fundamental principles of thermodynamics are reviewed. The reader does need
some background in thermodynamics, such as that provided by a first course in
physical...
The molecular biological revolution and the mapping of the human genome continue to provide new challenges and opportunities for drug research and design. Future medicinal chemists and drug designers must have a firm background in a number of related scientific disciplines in order to understand the conversion of new insight into lead...
Pheromones and other kinds of chemical communication underlie the behavior of all animals. Building on the strengths of the first edition, widely recognized as the leading text in the subject, this is a comprehensive overview of how pheromones work. Extensively revised and expanded to cover advances made over the last ten years, the book...
Over the past few decades the powerful methods of statistical physics and Euclidean quantum field theory have moved closer together, with common tools based on the use of path integrals. The interpretation of Euclidean field theories as particular systems of statistical physics has opened up new avenues for understanding strongly coupled...
This is an introduction to programming using Microsoft's Visual Basic.NET 2010. It is intended for novice programmers with little or no programming experience or no experience with Visual Basic. The text emphasizes programming logic and good programming techniques with generous explanations of programming concepts written from a...
