Modern Multithreading (Free E-Book)

Product Description
Master the essentials of concurrent programming,including testing and debugging

This textbook examines languages and libraries for multithreaded programming. Readers learn how to create threads in Java and C++, and develop essential concurrent programming and problem-solving skills. Moreover, the textbook sets itself apart from other comparable works by helping readers to become proficient in key testing and debugging techniques. Among the topics covered, readers are introduced to the relevant aspects of Java, the POSIX Pthreads library, and the Windows Win32 Applications Programming Interface.

The authors have developed and fine-tuned this book through the concurrent programming courses they have taught for the past twenty years. The material, which emphasizes practical tools and techniques to solve concurrent programming problems, includes original results from the authors' research. Chapters include:
* Introduction to concurrent programming
* The critical section problem
* Semaphores and locks
* Monitors
* Message-passing
* Message-passing in distributed programs
* Testing and debugging concurrent programs

As an aid to both students and instructors, class libraries have been implemented to provide working examples of all the material that is covered. These libraries and the testing techniques they support can be used to assess student-written programs.

Each chapter includes exercises that build skills in program writing and help ensure that readers have mastered the chapter's key concepts. The source code for all the listings in the text and for the synchronization libraries is also provided, as well as startup files and test cases for the exercises.

This textbook is designed for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in computer science. With its abundance of practical material and inclusion of working code, coupled with an emphasis on testing and debugging, it is also a highly useful reference for practicing programmers.

Book Description:

The new edition of this best-selling dentistry textbook has been thoroughly updated as operative dentistry is a rapidly developing area particularly with regard to dental materials and techniques. The book describes clearly and concisely the indications and methods for all common operative and conservative procedures in dental practice. Procedures and techniques are illustrated in full colour and, where appropriate, step-by-step sequences are given. Its popularity lies in the fact that it doubles as an atlas and the text is clear and accessible. Thoroughly updated, and with a new co-author, the book has taken a shift towards prevention in line with changes in dental practice, includes a new section on preventing trauma and significant new research on the diagnosis of caries. The new edition covers the much larger range of dental materials available and many of the old photographs have been replaced. There is up-to-date information on infection control, sterilisation, the use of new instruments and a section on ultrasonic and electro-surgical equipment. The Eighth Edition includes increased coverage of bonding techniques which in turn allow much less destructive tooth preparation. In line with current teaching practices, the new edition takes a more problem-based approach with emphasis on managing disease rather than treating it as an example of real problem solving. Many of the changes in this edition are based on recent research evidence thereby taking an evidence-based approach to the subject. REVIEWS FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION It is a book of perspectives and of context, and to the author's credit. It presents these quite well. ... Broader than most dental texts in its perspective, and shorter than almost all other operative texts in its length, this edition of Pickard's Manual is a very readable collection of treatment guidelines for operative dentistry. Canadian Dental Association Journal ...it is primarily aimed at the undergraduate, but it can be recommended to practitioners who over the years have slipped into a routine based on how they were taught twenty or more years ago ... This is a well illustrated, well set out and easy to read manual which can be recommended to undergraduates and not-so-new graduates alike. Australian Dental Journal

Book Description:

This book is an invaluable review of neurologic critical care in the intensive care unit. The emphasis is on management in day-to-day practice. Part I is devoted to basic management of critically ill patients with acute neurologic diseases. Part II covers the technology and procedures used in the intensive care unit. Part III discusses the management of specific disorders in critical care neurology. Part IV deals with the management of postoperative neurosurgical complications. Part V covers the management of systemic complications.

The final section, Part VI, discusses decisions at the end of life and other responsibilities. An appendix is devoted to the calculation of important variables and provides reference tables for daily practice. For quick reference in the intensive care unit the most useful tables and figures have been extracted by the author and reprinted in an accompanying pocket-sized booklet. For this thoroughly revised second edition, there are five new chapters on the organization of the intensive care unit and code of conduct of the neurointensivist, acute spinal disorders, the management of common postoperative neurosurgical complications (two chapters), ethics and legal problems, and withdrawal of life support. Also new to this edition are algorithms on outcome prediction in the specific disorders.

This scholarly and yet accessible and practical book spans the entire field of acute neurology but remains cohesive as it is single-authored. Like the first edition, the second will be widely used by neurologists, specialists in neurologic intensive care, neurologists training in neurologic critical care and stroke fellowships, anesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, critical care specialists of all types, emergency physicians, residents in neurology and neurosurgery, and neuroscience nurses.
