Perl for Exploring DNA

Perl for Exploring DNA

Mark Le Blanc; Betsey Bexter Dyer

Oxford University Press Inc
2007
nidottu
This book presents Perl programming with a uniquely interdisciplinary perspective for the bioinformatics classroom. The co-authors are a professor of computer science and a professor of biology who collaborate in developing software for DNA sequence analysis. A specialty of the authors is encouraging interdisciplinary undergraduate research. The book has been tested in the classroom as a text for both biology and computer science majors. Benefiting from years of teaching experience in both computer science and biology, the authors use an exceptionally friendly and pedagogically sound introduction to Perl that emphasizes good programming practices throughout. Concepts include a rich introduction to working with strings and files of sequence data, control structures, subroutines, and data structures (e.g., arrays and hash tables). A particularly unique feature of the text is the early and repeated exposure to and use of regular expressions in sequence analysis. All examples in the book are applied to biological sequence analysis (DNA analysis, Protein analysis). The full-length book is appropriate for majors in either computer science or biology and especially relevant for new interdisciplinary courses involving students from multiple disciplines.

How can you really make a difference for your students?Teaching Tough Kids delivers a refreshing collection of realistic ideas to sustain the organisational and behavioural transformations of all students, particularly those who 'do it tough'; who learn and react differently. They are complex kids who find life tougher than most. Managing their emotion and behaviour presents educators with a spectacular challenge in schools today, and numbers are on the rise.Filled with inspirational case studies, this book focuses on building improved relationships, structures and behaviours, rather than seeing the student as 'the problem' that must be fixed. Highlighting the value of promoting positive connections with students of all ages, the author presents ways to incorporate inclusive ideas into everyday practice and construct pathways for students to become engaged in their learning and achieve success.This stimulating book shows teachers how to:build student connectedness to learning;set achievable goals for each individual child;support emotional stability;strengthen organisation patterns;address behavioural issues;improve homework planning;create friendships and deal with bullying.Teaching Tough Kids takes a particularly close focus on students identified with Learning Disability, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Asperger Syndrome. Another group of students with executive functioning difficulties are emerging in schools. These are the kids who have endured neglect or too much stress and uncertainty in their lives and as a result display classic symptoms of hyperactivity, hyper vigilance and impulsivity.Teaching Tough Kids will be of immense interest to teachers, student teachers, staff in Pupil Referral Units, SENCos and all those involved with Behaviour Support work.
Have You Got Balls?: One Dad, Two Kids, a Narcissistic Ex and a Biased Court
"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? So help me God ""Mark le Fonc is brutally honest and engagingly candid in this account of the emotional, psychological and financial abuse he endured at the hands of a malevolent narcissist; hell bent on destroying him.You will find it hard to believe, that this systematic, relentless and heartless attack on a loving father was not perpetuated by an underworld criminal mastermind, by the person he trusted most - his wife.It is a journey down the rabbit hole into the South African justice system - a system traditionally skewed against men, especially in family matters, Sometimes failing, occasionally triumphing, you will be drawn into a process that few of us have knowledge of, and most of us have been lucky not to experience. And yes, the only ones who benefit are the people working in and profiting from the legal system.This memoir has so many shocking "Oh my" moments, that the reader will be hard pressed to believe that one man could endure this inexorable onslaught without totally cracking up. But that is because it is also a love story.The unwavering devotion Mark has for his children shines through on every page and is why he continues to fight to this day... "War of the roses and fatal attraction are combined in this real life memoir.The book is a mix of psychology, legal drama, single parenting, male victimization and a twist of ironic humour, written by a layman, in easy to understand language.It will be of interest to fathers, alienated parents, single parents, divorcees, separated couples, legal practitioners, psychologists, social workers, domestic violence victims and people who have dealt with emotionally abusive situations.

Guiding Kids Through the Tough Moments

Guiding Kids Through the Tough Moments

Families, classrooms, all kinds of human groups are intricate, evolving social and emotional worlds. They exist to protect and nourish but living in them is not always easy. And, when one of us is not doing well, none of us are. This makes them a delicate, dynamic, messy, and endless work in progress.This book centres around those moments when we must get involved, or call a child out on an unsafe, careless, or selfish action. Pitched well beyond the superficiality of making "happy families" or "obedient classes," this book dives into the colour and chaos of life. It provides guidance for navigating the commotion and the processes, as well as the grit required in the tougher moments. It’s these moments that reveal what is really happening between children and their parents, educators, or carers. The book outlines a special set of attitudes and skills described as using our "soft eyes and warm hearts." In this space, we hold a child or teen accountable using an almost counterculture mindset. One that connects leadership and strength directly with kindness. This humane approach is more likely to leave young people in a position where they might want to feel responsible, make amends and changes, rather than being forced to. If we are to improve our relationships, outcomes, and futures with this generation of kids we must commit to truthful conversation, reflection, and preparation.Written by trusted author Mark Le Messurier, an experienced teacher, counsellor and public speaker, this is an essential guide for parents, carers, teachers, educational leaders, and allied health professionals responsible for the wellbeing of young people.
