Examining the overlooked subject of non-disabled siblings in families where
there is a disabled child, Brothers and Sisters of Disabled Children details the
experiences of these children and explores what it means to have a disabled
brother or sister. Through family interviews and one-on-one meetings, Peter
Burke records siblings' views on issues ranging from the everyday social
restrictions of their lives and the discrimination they face at school; the
difficulties of finding their own identity in 'disabled' families and
competition for parental attention; through to their concerns about the future.

Ageing, Spirituality and Well-being explores how well-being is not about
physical health alone; having purpose in life and continual spiritual growth are
vital elements for older individuals. This book provides guidance on how the
particular spiritual needs of this age group can be defined and addressed, and
how meaningful care and support can be given.

Jerome K. Percus, "Mathematics of Genome Analysis"
Cambridge University Press | ISBN 0521585260 | 2002 Year | linked PNG-files |
7,62 Mb | 139 Pages[cut]
'... a suitable textbook for a mathematics course aimed at raising awareness of
the challenges that are posed by computational biology. It is also good first
reading for mathematics students and professionals who want to get an idea of
the exciting mathematical problems in the analysis of biological sequences.'
Ralf Bundschuh, Physics Today
'... a nice introduction to mathematical and statistical problems in genome
analysis ... this text is a highly welcome and valuable enhancement of the
existing literature in the field. apart from covering new grounds, the author
explains some of the more recent ideas ... with great expertise. the exposition
captivates by its systematic clarity, indicated profundity, necessary rigor, and
masterly conciseness ... this book will rank among the most important monographs
on abelian varieties and theta functions'. Zentralblatt fur Mathematic
'The American Joint Policy Board for Mathematics has chosen the role of
mathematics in analysing and understanding the data arising from the Human
Genome Project as the theme for Mathematics Awareness Month 2002, [1]. Percus'
state of the art snapshot of what is involved in unravelling this 'cunning'st
pattern of excelling nature' (Othello, Act 5, Scene 2) could thus hardly be more
timely.' The Mathematical Gazette

John Fauvel (Editor), J.A. van Maanen (Editor), "History in Mathematics
Education: An ICMI Study"
Springer | ISBN 1402009429 | 2003 Year | linked PNG-files | 48 Mb | 450
Pages[cut]
This book investigates how the learning and teaching of mathematics can be
improved through integrating the history of mathematics into all aspects of
mathematics education: lessons, homework, texts, lectures, projects, assessment,
and curricula. Most of the leading specialists in the field have contributed to
this ground-breaking book, whose topics include the integration of history in
the classroom, its value in the training of teachers, historical support for
particular subjects and for students with diverse educational requirements, the
use of original texts written by great mathematicians of the past, the
epistemological backgrounds to choose for history, and non-standard media and
other resources, from drama to the internet. Resulting from an international
study on behalf of ICMI (the International Commission of Mathematics
Instruction), the book draws upon evidence from the experience of teachers as
well as national curricula, textbooks, teacher education practices, and research
perspectives across the world. Together with its 300-item annotated bibliography
of recent work in the field in eight languages, the book provides firm
foundations for future developments. Focusing on such issues as the many
different ways in which the history of mathematics might be useful, on
scientific studies of its effectiveness as a classroom resource, and on the
political process of spreading awareness of these benefits through curriculum
design, the book will be of particular interest to teachers, mathematics
educators, decision-makers, and concerned parents across the world.

Кэри Миллсап, Джефф Хольт, "Oracle. Оптимизация производительности"
Символ-Плюс | ISBN 5932860782, 059600527X | 2006 год | PDF | 63 Mb | 464

Оптимизация производительности БД Oracle считается очень сложной задачей,
подвластной лишь черной магии. Успехи настройки нередко случайны и достигаются
скорее за счет интуиции, комбинируемой с методом проб и ошибок. Известные
исследователи Oracle, Миллсап и Хольт, в практическом руководстве "Oracle.
Оптимизация производительности" подробно описывают надежный, воспроизводимый и
четкий метод выявления проблем производительности системы, позволяющий с
уверенностью сказать, в чем причина любой из них. Ключом к методу Миллсапа и
Хольта является тот факт, что программное обеспечение БД Oracle оснащено
инструментами, способными предоставить информацию о том, на что тратится время
при обработке запросов. Метод включает три этапа: выбор пользовательской
операции, оптимизация которой наиболее важна с точки зрения бизнеса; сбор
корректно выбранных данных расширенной трассировки SQL, относящихся к данной
операции, и выявление по этим данным места и причин перерасхода времени; поиск
наиболее эффективного способа повышения производительности (уменьшения времени
отклика) данной операции.
Авторы показывают, как применять метод, и объясняют, почему он эффективен. Метод
способен помочь не только выявить проблемы производительности, но и оценить рост
производительности при увеличении количества и/или мощности процессоров или
добавлении оперативной памяти. Издание предназначено администраторам и
разработчикам БД Oracle.

T. Lindblad, J.M. Kinser, "Image Processing Using Pulse-Coupled Neural Networks"
(2nd edition)
Springer | ISBN 354024218X | 2005 Year | PDF | 4,3 Mb | 164 Pages[cut]
This is the first book to explain and demonstrate the tremendous ability of
Pulse-Coupled Neural Networks (PCNNs) when applied to the field of image
processing. PCNNs and their derivatives are biologically inspired models that
are powerful tools for extracting texture, segments, and edges from images. As
these attributes form the foundations of most image processing tasks, the use of
PCNNs facilitates traditional tasks such as recognition, foveation, and image
fusion. PCNN technology has also paved the way for new image processing
techniques such as object isolation, spiral image fusion, image signatures, and
content-based image searches. This volume contains examples of several image
processing applications, as well as a review of hardware implementations.
