However, access to this specific drug and the capacity for its timely intravenous administration are lacking in settings with limited resources, especially at lower levels of the health care system. Misoprostol, a tablet that requires no additional supplies and/or specialized skills to...

An Introduction to Genetic Engineering

and the pharmaceutical implications are vast: for example, the development of a widely used type of antihypertensive agent, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, derived from snake venom research. Grenard is to be commended on his succinct thoroughness and attention to detail. Every organism is identified by its common and taxonomic name. Facts are quantitative rather than qualitative where...

Analysis of Algorithms: An Active Learning Approach, 2nd edn

Having been in the IT industry for 30 years and seen the progression from efficient software programs and true multitasking operating systems that ran in 16–32 kilobytes (no, that is not a misprint) to the bloatware of today, this book came as a refreshing change to me. Here is a book that looks at algorithms in terms of efficiency and space (that is, memory considerations) and attempts to get ...
