Most business owners go into business for themselves to increase their personal wealth, build an asset that they can either pass on to heirs or sell, and for greater flexibility or an enhanced quality of life. To do this, every business will eventually need employees. And this is the biggest hurdle a small business owner will face in growing the business. Common difficulties include finding a good fit for the growing enterprise; matching skill level with affordability; employee "management by abdication" issues; and the nightmare of compliance with regard to tax payment and reporting requirements. This book will provide a step-by-step guide to finding and keeping the right people. It provides suggestions on structuring the job, advertising and interviewing, creating job descriptions, and reviewing and rewarding team members. This book can help transition a one-man shop into a professional organization that will eventually be able to survive without the owner working at every task, thus building true business value.

Being an interdisciplinary subject, Bioinformatics is today covering a range of interest both among the students and teaching communities. Taking this increasing interest into account, this book gives a comprehensive introduction to the subject. The text not only deals with the basic concepts but it also emphasizes the technical and practical aspects of the subject. The book covers the computational tools in bioinformatics, algorithmic aspects as well as technological aspects. Besides it gives a clear exposition of Viterbi algorithm, Hidden Markov models, UPGMA, FM algorithm, heuristic, developing and using substitution matrices, HMMs and derivation of a number of standard formulae in information theory and statistics. Finally the text focusses on the technological aspects of bioinformatics such as sequencing through shot gun methods, microarrays, with a variety of unsupervised methods in data analysis with examples, as well as interdisciplinary research in systems biology. The book is primarily intended as a text for the students of Computer Science, Information Technology, undergraduate students of Bioinformatics, PGDCA and biological sciences and biotechnology. The book should also be of considerable interest for research scientist in Chemistry and Pharmacy.

Coding theory is concerned with successfully transmitting data through a noisy channel and correcting errors in corrupted messages. It is of central importance for many applications in computer science or engineering. This book gives a comprehensive introduction to coding theory whilst only assuming basic linear algebra. It contains a detailed and rigorous introduction to the theory of block codes and moves on to more advanced topics like BCH codes, Goppa codes and Sudan's algorithm for list decoding. The issues of bounds and decoding, essential to the design of good codes, features prominently. The authors of this book have, for several years, successfully taught a course on coding theory to students at the National University of Singapore. This book is based on their experiences and provides a thoroughly modern introduction to the subject. There are numerous examples and exercises, some of which introduce students to novel or more advanced material.
