Die Bioinformatik ist fur die Weiterentwicklung der modernen Biowissenschaften von herausragender Bedeutung. In Grundzugen wird sie Teil einer jeden Ausbildung zum Biologen oder Biochemiker werden. Obwohl die Zahl der angebotenen Lehrveranstaltungen rapide zunimmt, gibt es bisher auf dem deutschsprachigen Markt noch kein Lehrbuch zu dieser Thematik. Das vorliegende Werk schlie?t diese Lucke. Reich bebildert und mit relativ wenig mathematischem Formelaufwand werden die Grundlagen der Bioinformatik gut verstandlich aufbereitet. Die Themenauswahl ist dabei auf die Bedurfnisse der experimentell tatigen Biochemiker, Biologen und Mediziner abgestimmt. Auf die wichtigsten Hilfsmittel, die das Internet kostenlos bietet, wird ausfuhrlich eingegangen. Die Inhalte werden in der Abfolge Sequenz – Struktur – Funktion entwickelt: ? Sequenzdatenbanken ? Genomprojekte ? Proteinorientierte Datenbanken ? Techniken des eukaryontischen Genomassembly ? Strukturdatenbanken ? Expressionsanalyse mit DNA Chips ? Proteomics ? Phylogenie und Sequenz ? DNA Computing Die Bioinformatik betrifft die tagliche Arbeit eines jeden Biowissenschaftlers. Es sollte sich daher jeder mit den grundlegenden Ansatzen vertraut machen.

Managing Safety
What are accidents? Are they just statistics that your safety department sends to you monthly and which you glance over and ask yourself whether the safety professional you have employed is doing his job right? Aimed primarily at top and middle management, this book adopts the new approach to preventing serious incidents rather than minimal compliance with regulations. It takes you step-by-simple-step to show how accidents can be avoided with little effort and money, allowing you to reap the rewards such an injury-free culture brings: higher worker morale, better product quality, and maximum productivity. Plus the inner satisfaction of reaching a goal that is worth striving for, namely zero accidents.
Security Engineering
The world has changed radically since the first edition of this book was published in 2001. Spammers, virus writers, phishermen, money launderers, and spies now trade busily with each other in a lively online criminal economy and as they specialize, they get better. In this indispensable, fully updated guide, Ross Anderson reveals how to build systems that stay dependable whether faced with error or malice. Here?s straight talk on critical topics such as technical engineering basics, types of attack, specialized protection mechanisms, security psychology, policy, and more.
Information Security
Your expert guide to information security As businesses and consumers become more dependent on complex multinational information systems, the need to understand and devise sound information security systems has never been greater. This title takes a practical approach to information security by focusing on real-world examples. While not sidestepping the theory, the emphasis is on developing the skills and knowledge that security and information technology students and professionals need to face their challenges. The book is organized around four major themes: * Cryptography: classic cryptosystems, symmetric key cryptography, public key cryptography, hash functions, random numbers, information hiding, and cryptanalysis * Access control: authentication and authorization, password-based security, ACLs and capabilities, multilevel and multilateral security, covert channels and inference control, BLP and Biba's models, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems * Protocols: simple authentication protocols, session keys, perfect forward secrecy, timestamps, SSL, IPSec, Kerberos, and GSM * Software: flaws and malware, buffer overflows, viruses and worms, software reverse engineering, digital rights management, secure software development, and operating systems security Additional features include numerous figures and tables to illustrate and clarify complex topics, as well as problems-ranging from basic to challenging-to help readers apply their newly developed skills. A solutions manual and a set of classroom-tested PowerPoint(r) slides will assist instructors in their course development. Students and professors in information technology, computer science, and engineering, and professionals working in the field will find this reference most useful to solve their information security issues. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department. An Instructor Support FTP site is also available.
Internet Security
Knowledge of number theory and abstract algebra are pre-requisites for any engineer designing a secure internet-based system. However, most of the books currently available on the subject are aimed at practitioners who just want to know how the various tools available on the market work and what level of security they impart. These books traditionally deal with the science and mathematics only in so far as they are necessary to understand how the tools work. Internet Security differs by its assertion that cryptography is the single most important technology for securing the Internet. To quote one reviewer «if every one of your communication partners were using a secure system based on encryption, viruses, worms and hackers would have a very hard time». This scenario does not reflect the reality of the Internet world as it currently stands. However, with security issues becoming more and more important internationally, engineers of the future will be required to design tougher, safer systems. Internet Security: * Offers an in-depth introduction to the relevant cryptographic principles, algorithms protocols – the nuts and bolts of creating a secure network * Links cryptographic principles to the technologies in use on the Internet, eg. PGP, S/MIME, IPsec, SSL TLS, Firewalls and SET (protecting credit card transactions) * Provides state-of-the-art analysis of the latest IETF standards plus summaries and explanations of RFC documents * Authored by a recognised expert in security Internet Security is the definitive text for graduate students on security and cryptography courses, and researchers in security and cryptography areas. It will prove to be invaluable to professionals engaged in the long-term development of secure systems.
Security Patterns
Most security books are targeted at security engineers and specialists. Few show how build security into software. None breakdown the different concerns facing security at different levels of the system: the enterprise, architectural and operational layers. Security Patterns addresses the full spectrum of security in systems design, using best practice solutions to show how to integrate security in the broader engineering process. Essential for designers building large-scale systems who want best practice solutions to typical security problems Real world case studies illustrate how to use the patterns in specific domains For more information visit www.securitypatterns.org
