Cambridge University Press, 2014. Softcover. New. 18 x 24 cm. Essential Bioinformatics is a concise yet comprehensive textbook of bioinformatics, which provides a broad introduction to the entire field. Written specifically for a life science audience, the basics of bioinformatics are explained, followed by discussions of the state-of-the-art computational tools available to solve biological research problems. All key areas of bioinformatics are covered including biological databases, sequence alignment, genes and promoter prediction, molecular phylogenetics, structural bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics. The book emphasizes how computational methods work and compares the strengths and weaknesses of different methods. This balanced yet easily accessible text will be invaluable to students who do not have sophisticated computational backgrounds. Technical details of computational algorithms are explained with a minimum use of mathematical formulae; graphical illustrations are used in their place to aid understanding. The effective synthesis of existing literature as well as in-depth and up-to-date coverage of all key topics in bioinformatics make this an ideal textbook for all bioinformatics courses taken by life science students and for researchers wishing to develop their knowledge of bioinformatics to facilitate their own research.

The time has come to take maximum advantage of the forestry literature available if the mother earth is to be reclothed with vegetation and this is possible only when forest libraries located in forest divisions, circles, research centres etc. would be developed and used on a scientifc basis by using the OXFORD SYSTEM OF DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION FOR FORESTRY as a tool for classification and cataloguing. The use of ODC by the forest libraries and users will lead to qualitative improvement of existing libraries and information services wich are difficult to provide otherwise.;All the informations developed and gathered in the field of forestry is not being read and utilised by the foresters and people engaged in tree planting activities due to poor cataloguing, filling and failure to use retrieval languages properly. Similarly the choice or purchase of books and circulation work needs improvement by arousing interests of the readers. The efforts should be made so that valuable knowledge accumulated may not vanish or remain in dark due to poor performance of forest libraries.;This book Scientific Management of Forest Libraries make the foresters and scientists to use forest libraries in a better and meaningful manner for the development of forestry.;Contents:;Chapter 1: Introduction to Forest Libraries; Introduction, Functions of Library, Laws of Library Science, Present Status of Forest Libraries, Chapter 2: Introduction to Classification; Classification Systems, Classification Schemes, Dewey Systems, DDC, UDC, Meaning of Connotations (Class, Sub-class, Simple Number, Compound Subject, Compound Number, Main Classes of UDC), Common Auxiliaries, Structure of UDC, DDC versus UDC, Auxiliary Signs and Tables, Independent Auxiliary Tables, Chapter 3: Oxford System of Decimal Classification; Introduction, Classification, Classification Schedule of ODC, Classes and Characteristics of ODC, Domestic Sub-Division etc., Chapter 4: Cataloguing; Introduction, Importance of a Catalogue, Cataloguing - Different Types, Job of a Cataloguer, Sources of Information for a Cataloguer, Descriptive Cataloguing, Order of Description in Cataloguing, Amount of Information, Rules for Filling Entries, Cataloguing of Non-Forestry Documents, Organisation of Cataloguing Work, Guides, Maintenance of Catalogue, Staff Manual, Authority File, Limited Cataloguing, Selective and Simplified Symbiosis Between a Catalogue and Classification, Chapter 5: Classified Catalogue Code; Entries (Main & Added), Structure of the Catalogue Card, General Norms of Recording, Structure of Main Entry, General Guidelines for Cataloguing, Types of Documents, Chapter 6: Filling Systems; Introduction, Filing of Auxiliaries, Special Auxiliary Signs, Use of Square Brackets, Summary, Chapter 7: Retrieval Languages; Introduction, Library Extension Service, Chapter 8: Library Staff and Administration; Introduction, Categories of Staff Proposed Library Committees in the Forest Department, Powers and Functions of the Library Committees, Functional Arrangement, Chapter 9: Library Financing, Budgeting and Accounting; Introduction, Sources of Finance, Methods of Financial Estimation, Budgeting, Chapter 10: Selection or Purchases of Books; Factors for Selection, Resources in the Library, Chapter 11: Book Order and Acquisition; Introduction, Terms of Book Supply, Discounts, Chapter 12: Accessioning; Introduction, Accession Register, Chapter 13: Processing Work; Introduction, Classification, Personnel, Classification Procedures, Cataloguing, Kinds of Catalogue, Cataloguing Procedures, Chapter 14: Maintenance Work; Staking, Shelving Methods, Tools for Proper Functioning of the Maintenance, Open Access versus Closed Access, Chapter 15: Periodical Work; Introduc Printed Pages: 165., Daya Publishing House, 1998, BPB Publications, 2009. 4th edition.

Pointers present power and Punch and this Book covers everything that has anything to do with pointers in a simple, easy-to-understand way. The Topics covered are : 1. Pointers and Arrays 2. Pointers and Structures 3. Pointers and dynamic Memory allocation 4. Pointers to Functions 5. Pointers and variable arguments lists 6. Near, far and huge pointers 7. Practical use of pointers 8. Using pointers to explore Boot sector, Partition table, Directory structure, etc. 9. Pointers and Virus like activities 10. Pointers and Doubly linked lists, Circular lists, Binary Trees and Threaded binary trees Pointers lay at your door many extras. Little tit bits that make a C programmer`s life easier. However, if not used properly, pointers help you do something heroically stupid. Read this book and resist that temptation. Printed Pages: 512., BPB Publications, 2009<
