Oracle 10G Programming is a concise, streamlined guide to Oracle programming. It is ideal for students studying databases, and introduces the Oracle technology students need to know for a first database course. This easily accessible primer is divided into two sections for ease of use. The first part of this book offers a basic review of the relational model and an introduction to Oracle SQL and PL/SQL. The second part introduces related technologies that facilitate Oracle Web functionality. There are chapters on SQLJ, Oracle Web programming with Java Servlets, and Oracle XML. The final chapter of this book is composed of a number of sample projects and programming applications that implement the basic concepts covered in this brief primer.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications, ISBRA 2008, held in Atlanta, GA, USA in May 2008. The 35 revised full papers presented together with 6 workshop papers and 6 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 94 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including clustering and classification, gene expression analysis, gene networks, genome analysis, motif finding, pathways, protein structure prediction, protein domain interactions, phylogenetics, and software tools.
