Год издания: 0000
Apply adaptive research to improve results in drug development The pharmaceutical industry today faces a deepening crisis: inefficiency in its core business, the development of new drugs. The Agile Approach to Adaptive Research offers a solution. It outlines how adaptive research, using already-available tools and techniques, can enable the industry to streamline clinical trials and reach decision points faster and more efficiently. With a wealth of real-world cases and examples, author Michael Rosenberg gives readers a practical overview of drug development, the problems inherent in current practices, and the advantages of adaptive research technology and methods. He explains the concepts, principles, and specific techniques of adaptive research, and demonstrates why it is an essential evolutionary step toward improving drug research and development. Chapters explore such subjects as: The adaptive concept Design and operational adaptations Sample-size reestimation Agile clinical development Safety and dose finding Statistics in adaptive research, including frequentist and Bayesian approaches Data management technologies The future of clinical development By combining centuries-old intellectual foundations, recent technological advances, and modern management techniques, adaptive research preserves the integrity and validity of clinical research but dramatically improves efficiency.
Web Application
Development with PHP 4.0

While the success of Open Source software like Linux or Apache has been documented
extensively throughout all mainstream media, the rise of PHP has gone largely
unnoticed. Still, the Web scripting language PHP is the most popular module for the
Apache Web server, according to an E-Soft survey (www.e-softinc.com/survey/).
Netcraft studies have found that PHP is in use on over 6% of all Web domains in the
world (see www.netcraft.com/survey).That’s an incredible market penetration for a
rather specialized product.This popularity continues to rise exponentially. Increasingly,
this is being reflected in traditional media: As of May, 2000, more than 20 books about
PHP have been published in different languages, with more in the pipeline.
Commercial players are beginning to join the bandwagon: PHP is included with
Web servers, for example C2’s Stronghold, and Linux distributions. A new company,
Zend Technologies, has been formed to provide commercial add-ons and support for
PHP.A long list of large-scale Web sites employ PHP, as well as hundreds of thousands
of small to medium Web sites.

The personal home page (PHP) server-side scripting language is particular well adapted to connecting HTML-based web pages to a backend database for dynamic content. This book explains the entire nuts-and-bolts process of the PHP application life cycle: requirements, design, development, maintenance and tuning. It shows how PHP can be used to design and develop highly manageable and secure applications to solve practical problems.
