Large observational studies involving research questions that require the measurement of several features on each individual arise in many fields including the social and medical sciences. This book sets out both the general concepts and the more technical statistical issues involved in analysis and interpretation. Numerous illustrative examples are described in outline and four studies are discussed in some detail. The use of graphical representations of dependencies and independencies among the features under study is stressed. This book is aimed at research workers using statistical methods as well as statisticians involved in empirical research.

This comprehensive handbook provides up-to-date knowledge and practical advice from established authorities in aerosol science. Divided into four parts, it covers the principles and practices of bioaerosol sampling, descriptions and comparisons of bioaerosol samplers, calibration methods, and assay techniques, with an emphasis on practicalities, such as which sampler to use and where it should be placed. The text also offers critiques concerning handling the samples to provide representative and meaningful assays for their viability, infectivity, and allergenicity. A wide range of microbes-viz., viruses, bacteria, fungi and pollens, and their fragments-are considered from such perspectives. Short TOC

This book is designed for those who have had no more than a brief introduction to organic chemistry and who require a broad understanding of the subject. The book is in two parts. In Part I, reaction mechanism is set in its wider context of the basic principles and concepts that underlie chemical reactions: chemical thermodynamics, structural theory, theories of reaction kinetics, mechanism itself and stereochemistry. In Part II these principles and concepts are applied to the formation of particular types of bonds, groupings, and compounds. The final chapter in Part II describes the planning and detailed execution of the multi-step syntheses of several complex, naturally occurring compounds.

Publicado por primera vez en 1986, este libro, presentó con éxito las técnicas de programación orientada a objetos a una vasta audiencia. La nueva edición mantiene el tema central, consistente en mostrar la forma en que se puede ensamblar software a partir de componentes estándar, intercambiables y realizables. Aunque el fin último de las técnicas orientadas a objetos es una revolución de la forma en que se desarrolla el software, el libro hace especial hincapié en la forma de alcanzar esta meta mediante extensiones evolutivas de lenguajes actuales de programación.
INDICE: Construcción de sistemas. ¿Por qué programación orientada a objetos?. ¿Qué es la programación orientada a objetos?. Objetos, mensajes y encapsulamiento. Clases y herencia. El ejercicio GrafoDependencia. Clases fundamentales. Clases de colecciones. Interfaces por iconos de usuario. Distintas herramientas para otras tareas. Hojas de especificaciones. La aplicación GrafoDependencia codificada a mano.
