Description: Joe Celko has looked deep into the code of novice SQL programmers and found a consistent and troubling pattern. These programmers have not changed their approach from writing code for a procedural language, like C, to a declarative language--which is what SQL is. As a result they are not fully using the power and capability inherent in SQL and that translates into writing more code than they need to write, more complex code than is needed, and ultimately lower productivity.
Thinking in sets reveals the conceptual shift these programmers need to make. Through detailed examples and clear explanations, Joe enables readers to concepualize database problems as rooted in sets and solvable through declarative programming techniques. The book focuses on three main table-based SQL techniques that not only demonstrate this set characteristic of SQL but also dramatically simplify application development. For each table type--auxillary, temporal and virrual--Joe teaches not only the new kind of thinking required to use them effectively but also how to choose the right table technique to apply and why.

Description: There has been an increase in litigation due to a failure of recognition of anal sphincter tears and inappropriate management. This aims to clarify and graphically demonstrate perineal anatomy and explain the pathophysiology of anal incontinence as well as applied pharmacology. It also institutes the new recommended classification of perineal tears and describes the various anal sphincter repair techniques. The emphasis is placed on the correct post-operative management, management of a subsequent pregnancy following previous anal sphincter injury and prevention of anal sphincter tears as an important issue that has not been given due consideration previously. The authors also focus on medical/legal implications in order to introduce safe medical practice.
The book will mostly be of interest to trainees and consultants, colorectal surgeons, physiotherapists, midwives, continence advisors, labour wards and lawyers.

Description: Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery reflects the overwhelming need for such a book as this specialisation proceeds apace. The book covers all the foregut except the liver, bile duct and pancreas, looking at the diverse anatomy and physiology, the functions and the disease processes. The book reflects a significant change in the management of certain conditions, as our understanding of disease has improved. Technical developments have moved surgery forward; minimally invasive surgery being the treatment of choice for most upper GI operations for benign disease. With cancers of the upper GI tract being common, and with our understanding more of the genetic profile of tumours, we have identified premalignant lesions and cancer surgery is now targeted to allow stage appropriate therapies. This book gives a current and concise summary of all key topics within the specialty and concentrates on recent developments. Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery brings together an international group of contributors, all experts in their field, to provide a text for specialists and trainees.

Description: System administration is about the design, running and maintenance of human-computer systems. Examples of human-computer systems include business enterprises, service institutions and any extensive machinery that is operated by, or interacts with human beings. System administration is often thought of as the technological side of a system: the architecture, construction and optimization of the collaborating parts, but it also occasionally touches on softer factors such as user assistance (help desks), ethical considerations in deploying a system, and the larger implications of its design for others who come into contact with it.

Description: Embedded Multiprocessors Scheduling and Synchronization Series Volume: 3 This item is part of the Signal Processing and Communications series. Application-specific, embedded multiprocessors are increasingly found today in high- performance communications and multimedia systems such as cellular phones and base stations, high-speed modems, set-top boxes, and switches in high-speed networks. Systematic design and analysis of such embedded multiprocessors is becoming a very important research area in industry and academia. This book focuses on the incorporation of interprocessor communication costs into multiprocessor scheduling decisions, modeling and analysis of multiprocessor system performance, and the application of the synchronization graph model to the development of hardware and software that can significantly reduce interprocessor communication overhead. Embedded Multiprocessors is a one-of-a-kind single-source reference indispensable for electrical and electronics, computer, communications, signal processing, and microprocessing engineers, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

Description: You have probably heard a lot about Design Patterns—a technique that helps you design rock-solid solutions to practical problems that programmers everywhere encounter in their day-to-day work.
Even though there has been a lot of buzz, however, no-one has yet come up with a comprehensive resource on design patterns for PHP developers—until today.
Author Jason E. Sweat's book php|architect's Guide to PHP Design Patterns is the first, comprehensive guide to design patterns designed specifically for the PHP developer. This book includes coverage of 16 design patterns with a specific eye to their applications in PHP when building complex web applications, both in PHP 4 and PHP 5 (where appropriate, sample code for both versions of the language is provided). With a thorough, test-driven approach, this book represents the definitive guide to design patterns for the PHP developer.

Following the successful earlier editions, author Andrew Troelsen is pleased to announce completion of the fourth edition of his acclaimed book:
“Over the years that I’ve spent working with the common language runtime (CLR), I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the .NET platform and the subtleties of the C# programming language.

Description: Pro Active Record helps you take advantage of the full power of your database engine from within your Ruby programs and Rails applications. ActiveRecord, part of the magic that makes the Rails framework so powerful and easy to use, is the model element of Rail's model/view/controller framework. It's an object-relational mapping library enabling you to interact with databases from both Ruby and Rails applications.
Because ActiveRecord is configured with default assumptions that mesh perfectly with the Rails framework, Rails developers often find they hardly need think about it at all. However, if you are developing in Ruby without Rails, or are deploying against legacy databases designed without Rails in mind, or you just want to take advantage of database-specific features such as large objects and stored procedures, you need the in-depth knowledge of ActiveRecord found in this book.
