Inspire a new generation of capable and curious scientists. This book will help build pupils' understanding through clear explanations, practicals and skills-based activities, ensuring that they're ready for the next step in their learning and promoting a sense of cynefin through examples and contexts from all around Wales. - Improve working scientifically skills and prepare students for future lab work with practical skills and suggested activities highlighted throughout - Guide pupils through the trickier maths and literacy skills with key term definitions and worked examples with step-by-step solutions - Support a holistic approach with links between the 'what matters' statements in the Science and Technology Area of Learning and Experience (AoLE) - Boost progress using summaries to recap prior knowledge, alongside 'Check your understanding' questions to embed understanding - Develop pupils' curiosity and interest in science with historical context and examples, including many from across Wales

Emergent Computation emphasizes the interrelationship of the different classes of languages studied in mathematical linguistics (regular, context-free, context-sensitive, and type 0) with aspects to the biochemistry of DNA, RNA, and proteins. In addition, aspects of sequential machines such as parity checking and semi-groups are extended to the study of the Biochemistry of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Mention is also made of the relationship of algebraic topology, knot theory, complex fields, quaternions, and universal turing machines and the biochemistry of DNA, RNA, and proteins.

Emergent Computation tries to avoid an emphasis upon mathematical abstraction ("elegance") at the expense of ignoring scientific facts known to Biochemists. Emergent Computation is based entirely upon papers published by scientists in well-known and respected professional journals. These papers are based upon current research. A few examples of what is not ignored to gain "elegance":

- DNA exists as triple and quadruple strands

- Watson-Crick complementary bases have mismatches

- There can be more than four bases in DNA

- There are more than sixty-four codons

- There may be more that twenty amino acids in proteins

While Emergent Computation emphasizes bioinformatics applications, the last chapter studies mathematical linguistics applied to areas such as languages found in birds, insects, medical applications, anthropology, etc.

Emergent Computation tries to avoid unnecessary mathematical abstraction while still being rigorous. The demands made upon the knowledge of chemistry or mathematics is minimized as well. The collected technical references are valuable in itself for additional reading.

What do you do when your neighbor turns up strangled beneath your bedroom window? In The Chosen Few, private investigator Max Lovely straps on his Ruger .357 Magnum, climbs into his battered Chrysler convertible, and hits the streets of Boston looking for clues. Max is a seemingly sluggish detective with surprising powers of perception, a dangerous overabundance of empathy, and a strange collection of friends. He'll need all the help he can get when he uncovers the Chosen Few. As he draws closer to the truth, his own life becomes the target of the malevolent forces he has uncovered. Author Matt Simon imbues the story with a strong sense of place, with rich descriptions of Boston and plenty of local culture. From the spiritual beliefs of the Puritans to the socioeconomic history of the South End and Back Bay, readers will know Boston better by the time the mystery is solved. THE SECOND BOOK IN THE MAX LOVELY SERIES IS NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.COM: That's What Little Boys Are Made Of.

Death was not part of the curriculum at Faircroft, an elite private school in Boston's Back Bay. So the first student death, that fall semester, might have been an accident. The second was too much of a coincidence. Max Lovely's murder investigation takes him from the elegant parlors of Back Bay and Beacon Hill to the mean streets of Boston's most dangerous neighborhoods. Soon he's tangling with the Boston underworld in a fatal spiral that puts his own life at risk. THAT'S WHAT LITTLE BOYS ARE MADE OF is the sequel to THE CHOSEN FEW.

An experienced real estate investor gives step-by-step advice for buying and selling real estate in the Bahamas, including local laws and practices, pitfalls to avoid, and tips for saving money. Experts from each major Bahamian island describe the communities and developments on their island, what real estate is available in each, and at what price. UPDATED FOR 2013. Questions answered include: * Is the Bahamas a safe place to invest? * How is the buying and selling process different from in the U.S.? * What kind of financing is available? * How can I obtain legal residency in the Bahamas? * What should I expect if I decide to build? * What websites should I use for research, buying, and selling? * How can I save on legal fees, commissions, and taxes? * What are the step-by-step instructions for buying and selling? "It's a GREAT book for those of us going through this process. In fact, I wish I had one for buying property in the U.S. Your step-by-steps were great and easy to follow." Caroline W., Connecticut.
