Much of the business transacted on the Web today takes place through information exchanges made possible by using documents as interfaces. For example, what seems to be a simple purchase from an online bookstore actually involves at least three different business collaborations – between the customer and the online catalog to select a book; between the bookstore and a credit card authorization service to verify and charge the customer's account; and between the bookstore and the delivery service with instructions for picking up and delivering the book to the customer.

Prominent experts from around the world detail the chromatographic and electroseparation techniques they have developed for chiral separations on an analytical scale. Described in step-by-step detail to ensure successful experimental results, the procedures are presented as either general methods or as specific applications to substance classes and special compounds, with emphasis on high performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis techniques, but also including thin layer chromotographic, gas chromatographic, supercritical fluid chromatographic as well as recent electrochromotographic techniques.

In this classic of French cultural studies, Georges Didi-Huberman traces the intimate and reciprocal relationship between the disciplines of psychiatry and photography in the late nineteenth century. Focusing on the immense photographic output of the Salpetriere hospital, the notorious Parisian asylum for insane and incurable women, Didi-Huberman shows the crucial role played by photography in the invention of the category of hysteria. Under the direction of the medical teacher and clinician Jean-Martin Charcot, the inmates of Salpetriere identified as hysterics were methodically photographed, providing skeptical colleagues with visual proof of hysteria's specific form.

You can almost hear the chatter of keyboard keys and boardroom meetings, the hum of street traffic, the whistle of the locomotive, the belch of the ship horn. The working world is fully engaged.

Dramatically updating and extending the first edition, published in 1995, the second edition of The Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks presents the enormous progress made in recent years in the many subfields related to the two great questions: How does the brain work? and, How can we build intelligent machines? Once again, the heart of the book is a set of almost 300 articles covering the whole spectrum of topics in brain theory and neural networks. The first two parts of the book, prepared by Michael Arbib, are designed to help readers orient themselves in this wealth of material.

From the basics of programming in the Qshell on iSeries to complete coverage of previously undocumented topics, programmers will not only learn the Qshell more easily than they can with the Qshell manual from IBM, they will also learn practical applications of using the Qshell effectively. Written for users who are more comfortable with DDS, CL, and RPG as well as those using modern languages such as C and Java, this book allows those who are unfamiliar with Unix to easily learn this technology, which otherwise might be foreign to them. Although written specifically for iSeries programmers, the information gleaned here will be largely applicable to the shells for Linux and Unix, so programmers not familiar with those platforms will find those shells much easier to learn after learning Qshell.

In this new edition, the editors have thoroughly updated and dramatically expanded the number of protocols to take advantage of the newest technologies used in all branches of research and clinical medicine today. These proven methods include real time PCR, SNP analysis, nested PCR, direct PCR, and long range PCR. Among the highlights are chapters on genome profiling by SAGE, differential display and chip technologies, the amplification of whole genome DNA by random degenerate oligonucleotide PCR, and the refinement of PCR methods for the analysis of fragmented DNA from fixed tissues. Each fully tested protocol is described in step-by-step detail by an established expert in the field and includes a background introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, equipment and reagent lists, tips on trouble shooting and avoiding known pitfalls, and, where needed, a discussion of the interpretation and use of results.

At first glance Glow Worm seems like a simple kids game that will bore even the most dedicated puzzle gamer with it's simplistic gameplay. In some cases it's true, Glow Worm is a fun romp in a fun and beautiful world of psychedelic colored worms that explode in a flash of glorious sparkles but beneath its kid-like exterior is an increasingly difficult puzzle game that anyone can find some joy in.
