ISBN-10 : 0826110940

Description:
"This is the long-awaited text on interdisciplinary treatment and assessment of, among other clinical topics, brain-derived behavioral, cognitive, and neurological disorders ."

--Niels Birbaumer, PhD

University of Tubingen, Germany

Member of the German Academy of Sciences, Leopoldina
"Gone is the unidimensional approach of the expert summarizing a topic from a single vantage point. Instead, the content shifts laterally, embracing not only interdisciplinary expertise, but an integrative way of thinking that transcends each discipline .What makes the Handbook so refreshing is that this cross pollination of ideas and approaches is more than novel theorizing. It offers clinicians a new way forward."

phpMyAdmin is an open source tool written in PHP to handle MySQL administration over the World Wide Web. It can execute SQL statements and manage users and their permissions. However, when it comes to exploiting phpMyAdmin to its full potential, even experienced developers and system administrators are left baffled.

Mastering phpMyAdmin 3.3.x for Effective MySQL Management is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide that walks you through every facet of this efficient tool. Author Marc Delisle draws on his experience as one of the leading developers and project administrator of phpMyAdmin and uses his unique tutorial approach to take full advantage of its potential. This book is filled with illustrative examples that will help you understand every phpMyAdmin feature in detail.

The book helps you get started with installing and configuring phpMyAdmin and looks at its features. You then work on a sample project with two basic tables and perform basic actions such as creating, editing, and deleting data, tables, and databases. You will learn how to create up-to-date backups and import the data that you have exported. You will then explore different search mechanisms and options for querying across multiple tables.

The book gradually proceeds to advanced features such as defining inter-table relations and installing the linked-tables infrastructure. Some queries are out of the scope of the interface and this book will show you how to accomplish these tasks with SQL commands.

New features of version 3.3.x, such as synchronizing databases on different servers and managing MySQL replication to improve performance and data security, are covered in this book. Towards the end of the book you will learn to document your database, track changes made to the database, and manage user accounts using phpMyAdmin server management features.

This book is an upgrade from the previous version that covered phpMyAdmin Version 3.1. Version 3.3.x introduced features such as new import and export modules, tracking changes, synchronizing structure and data between servers, and providing support for replication.

A complete guide to get started with phpMyAdmin 3.3 and master its features by implementing them on your database to your advantage

What you will learn from this book :
Upload phpMyAdmin to your web server and upgrade to the latest version
Manage multiple servers using a single copy of phpMyAdmin
Protect authentication credentials according to the needs of a users' group and secure your phpMyAdmin installation using the various available authentication types
Export a table's structure and data for backup purposes and also use it as a gateway to another application
Import back a table's structure and data, provided the chosen format is supported by phpMyAdmin
Search for entries in a single-table by specifying the search criteria and also perform a search in the whole database
Define inter-table relations in a relational system and install the linked-tables infrastructure for keeping special metadata
Enter your own SQL queries into phpMyAdmin to perform actions that are beyond the scope of the interface and keep a history of these queries
Produce and maintain good documentation that explains the structure of your databases using the tools offered by phpMyAdmin
Apply transformations to data, in order to customize its format at view time
Administer a MySQL server by managing user accounts and privileges
Troubleshoot some common problems encountered in phpMyAdmin and prevent some of these problems from reoccurring
Save time while retrieving queries by storing them as bookmarks

Ophthalmologic Drug Guide 2nd Edition

By: Douglas J. Rhee
Publisher: Springer

Date : 2 edition (January 2011)
Paperback: 150 pages
ISBN-10: 1441976205

Ophthalmology has long been considered a surgical area because so many disorders/diseases are treated surgically rather than medically. In the past ten years, however, there have been considerable therapeutic breakthroughs in non-surgical treatments.

For instance, anti-glaucoma agents have becoming increasingly effective. This edition will include a new chapter for retinal disease. There are now several pharmaceutical agents being used to treat these diseases. Specifically, age-related macular degeneration has many new products – macugen, lucentis, etc. – and intraocular infections are primarily treated with intravitreal medications.

Additionally, the anti-allergy and dry eye markets have grown tremendously in the last 2-3 years (endura, restasis, xibrom, etc).
