First published in 1963, Advances in Parasitology contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews in all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology.

Advances in Parasitology includes medical studies on parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes. The series also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which shape current thinking and applications.

Eclectic volumes are supplemented by thematic volumes on various topics, including control of human parasitic diseases and global mapping of infectious diseases. The 2009 impact factor is 6.231.

From the Back Cover:

Develop today's embedded computing systems with examples featuring the Intel Atom processor

Modern Embedded Computing

Designing Connected, Pervasive, Media-Rich Systems

Peter Barry and Patrick Crowley

Unlike embedded microcontrollers that perform only limited functions for industrial applications, modern embedded systems are connected, media-rich, and utilize networking, graphic user interfaces, and integration with PCs. Modern Embedded Computing will teach you the platform architecture of today's embedded computing systems that drive pervasive, connected devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and home automation systems.

Examples feature the Intel Atom processor, widely used in devices such as e-readers, Internet-enabled TVs, tablets, and net books. Beginning with a discussion of embedded platform architecture and Intel Atom-specific architecture, modular chapters cover system boot-up, operating systems, power optimization, graphics and multi-media, connectivity, and platform tuning. Both an embedded computing textbook and a resource for professional system designers who need to update their skills, the book provides a comprehensive view of how to develop a framework for embedded systems-on-chips.

Features

Learn embedded systems design with the Intel Atom Processor, based on the dominant PC chip architecture. Examples use Atom and offer comparisons to other platforms

Design embedded processors for systems that support gaming, in-vehicle infotainment, medical records retrieval, point-of-sale purchasing, networking, digital storage, and many more retail, consumer and industrial applications

Explore companion lab materials online that offer hands-on embedded design experience

About the Author:

Professor David Rollinson is a Merit Research Scientist at the Natural History Museum in London, where he leads a research team in the Wolfson Wellcome Biomedical Laboratories and directs the WHO Collaborating Centre for schistosomiasis. He has had a long fascination with parasites and the diseases that they cause, this has involved him in many overseas projects especially in Africa. He is on the WHO Expert Advisory Panel of parasitic diseases, the editor of Advances in Parasitology and a former President of the World Federation of Parasitologists. His research group uses a multidisciplinary approach, which combines detailed molecular studies in the laboratory with ongoing collaborative studies in endemic areas of disease, to explore the intriguing world of parasites in order to help control and eliminate parasitic diseases.
