Smooth, powerful, and small, Elixir is an excellent language for learning functional programming, and with this hands-on introduction, you’ll discover just how powerful Elixir can be. Authors Simon St. Laurent and J. David Eisenberg show you how Elixir combines the robust functional programming of Erlang with an approach that looks more like Ruby, and includes powerful macro features for metaprogramming. Updated to cover Elixir 1.4, the second edition of this practical book helps you write simple Elixir programs by teaching one skill at a time. Once you pick up pattern matching, process-oriented programming, and other concepts, you’ll understand why Elixir makes it easier to build concurrent and resilient programs that scale up and down with ease. Get comfortable with IEx, Elixir’s command line interface Learn Elixir’s basic structures by working with numbers Discover atoms, pattern matching, and guards: the foundations of your program structure Delve into the heart of Elixir processing with recursion, strings, lists, and higher-order functions Create Elixir processes and send messages among them Store and manipulate structured data with Erlang Term Storage and the Mnesia database Build resilient applications with the Open Telecom Platform

Language, unlike other engineering subjects, is more a skill that has to be practiced constantly. With this in mind, English for Engineering Students has been written to help building engineers use technical English appropriately in all situations. The objective of this book is to facilitate the practice of the four major study skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing) along with their sub-skills. The book is divided into 4 units of 3 chapters each. Each unit is accompanied by a revision exercise. At the end of the book are the supplementary tasks along with keys, an appendix of phonetic symbols and their use, and a model question paper.

Network science has accelerated a deep and successful trend in research that influences a range of disciplines like mathematics, graph theory, physics, statistics, data science and computer science (just to name a few) and adapts the relevant techniques and insights to address relevant but disparate social, biological, technological questions. We are now in an era of 'big biological data' supported by cost-effective high-throughput genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic data collection techniques that allow one to take snapshots of the cells' molecular profiles in a systematic fashion. Moreover recently, also phenotypic data, data on diseases, symptoms, patients, etc. are being collected at nation-wide level thus giving us another source of highly related (causal) 'big data'. This wealth of data is usually modeled as networks (aka binary relations, graphs or webs) of interactions, (including protein-protein, metabolic, signaling and transcription-regulatory interactions). The network model is a key view point leading to the uncovering of mesoscale phenomena, thus providing an essential bridge between the observable phenotypes and 'omics' underlying mechanisms. Moreover, network analysis is a powerful 'hypothesis generation' tool guiding the scientific cycle of 'data gathering', 'data interpretation, 'hypothesis generation' and 'hypothesis testing'. A major challenge in contemporary research is the synthesis of deep insights coming from network science with the wealth of data (often noisy, contradictory, incomplete and difficult to replicate) so to answer meaningful biological questions, in a quantifiable way using static and dynamic properties of biological networks.

Fundamentals of Nursing, 2e highlights the core themes of nursing, including nurse, person, health and environment, covering the fundamental concepts, skills and standards of practice. Research and evidence-based practice issues are highlighted to help introductory nursing students prepare for delivering care for culturally diverse populations across a continuum of settings. With up-to-date coverage of the Registered Nurse Standards of Practice (2016) and key pedagogical features such as our unique ‘Spotlight on Critical Thinking’ questions, this text challenges students to assess their own nursing practice and apply the concepts to real-life clinical settings. Fundamentals of Nursing presents in-depth material in a clear, concise manner using language that is easy to read and has good coverage of topics such as rural and remote nursing and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. This text is complemented by the bestselling Tollefson, Clinical Psychomotor Skills: Assessment Tools for Nursing, which covers skills and procedures. A value pack of these two texts is available. Premium online teaching and learning tools are available on the MindTap platform.
