Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry

by Michael Lieberman, Allan D. Marks

2009 · Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

A best-selling core textbook for medical students taking medical biochemistry, Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry links biochemical concepts to physiology and pathophysiology, using hypothetical patient vignettes to illustrate core concepts. Completely updated to include full-color art, expanded clinical notes, and bulleted end-of-chapter summaries, the revised Third Edition helps medical students understand the importance of the patient and bridges the gap between biochemistry, physiology, and clinical care. A new companion Website will offer the fully searchable online text, an interactive question bank with 250 multiple-choice questions, animations depicting key biochemical processes, self-contained summaries of patients described in the book, and a comprehensive list of disorders discussed in the text, with relevant Website links. An image bank, containing all the images in the text, will be available to faculty.

Drawing Graphs

by Michael Kaufmann

2001 · Springer Science & Business Media

Graph drawing is a dynamic and rapidly growing subfield of computer science and mathematics. It comprises all aspects of visualizing structural relations between objects. The range of topics dealt with extends from graph theory, graph algorithms, geometry, and topology to visual languages, visual perception, and information visualization, and to computer-human interaction and graphics design. The automated generation of graph drawings has important consequences for many subfields of computer science as well as for a broad variety of interdisciplinary application fields. This monograph gives a systematic overview of graph drawing and introduces the reader gently to the state of the art in the area. The presentation concentrates on algorithmic aspects, with an emphasis on interesting visualization problems with elegant solutions. Much attention is paid to a uniform style of writing and presentation, consistent terminology, and complementary coverage of the relevant issues throughout the 10 chapters. An overview of existing graph drawing systems, a comprehensive bibliography, and a subject index round off the presentation. This tutorial is ideally suited as an introduction for newcorners to graph drawing. Ambitioned practitioners and researchers active in the area will find it a valuable source of reference and information.
