Meta Analysis of Controlled Clinical Trials
Over the last twenty years there has been a dramatic upsurge in the application of meta-analysis to medical research. This has mainly been due to greater emphasis on evidence-based medicine and the need for reliable summaries of the vast and expanding volume of clinical research. At the same time there have been great strides in the development and refinement of the associated statistical methodology. This book describes the planning, conduct and reporting of a meta-analysis as applied to a series of randomized controlled clinical trials.The various approaches are presented within a general unified framework.
Meta-analysis techniques are described in detail, from their theoretical development through to practical implementation.
Each topic discussed is supported by detailed worked examples.
A comparison of fixed and random effects approaches is included, as well as a discussion of Bayesian methods and cumulative meta-analysis.
Fully documented programs using standard statistical procedures in SAS are available on the Web.Ideally suited for practising statisticians and statistically-minded medical professionals, the book will also be of use to graduate students of medical statistics. The book is a self-contained and comprehensive account of the subject and an essential purchase for anyone involved in clinical trials.
ColdFusion 6 Development by Eric Ladd, ISBN 0789726939
Written with the beginner in mind and based on introductory ColdFusion courses taught by the author, Macromedia ColdFusion MX Development guides the new developer through the fundamentals of building Web applications using the newest release of Macromedia's popular development platform - ColdFusion MX. Starting with a tour of the ColdFusion development environment and progressing through several well-commented examples of how to use ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) commands and functions, the book demonstrates how to implement many of the basic functions found on dynamic, database-driven Web sites. Three detailed case studies then illustrate how to integrate these functions into complete and coherent Web applications that support a corporate employee directory, an online conference registration site, and an electronic commerce site with a shopping cart.

The Dogaressa of Venice, 1200-1500: Wife and Icon
This book focuses on the identity of the dogaresse, wives of the elected leaders (doges) of late medieval Venice. The study traces the evolution of official and public functions of this group of wives, and the limitations placed upon them, during Venice's development into an international economic and political power. The book examines the the challenges of female proximity to, intersection and interaction with Venice's unique and male-dominated political system and considers the tensions between the state, family and gender that met in the person of the ducal consort. Further, this work places these political wives in a broader context through comparison with other political consorts. The project enhances historical understanding of women, family and the gendering of political environments in the most Serene Republic.

With a picture-postcard farm, a wonderful marriage, two mules, and a new refrigerator that spits crushed ice, what more can a girl ask for? That's precisely the question Jeanne Marie asks herself as she and Alex settle into their new life at Sweetwater Farm. Two years ago they left the city behind for a life filled with the practical, often comical, lessons of living close to the land--and they never looked back. Yet when her strong-willed mom is hospitalized with a sudden and mysterious paralysis, Jeanne Marie rushes home to Philadelphia and her extended, sometimes chaotic, but always loving family. It's there that she realizes what is still missing from her life: a family of her own. Now it's a matter of bringing up the subject to her husband,...
