This is the Summer 2005 version of the Instructor’s Solution Manual for Introduction to Graph Theory, by Douglas B. West. A few solutions have been added or clarified since last year’s version. Also present is a (slightly edited) annotated syllabus for the onesemester course taught from this book at the University of Illinois. This version of the Solution Manual contains solutions for 99.4% of ...

“Transactional memory” means that, instead of using explicit locks to protect from data races (like the Java synchronized construct), a programmer could declare a block of code atomic and rely on the underlying software and hardware system to ensure that code within the block executes as if atomic. The transactional memory system might use any of several concurrency control protocols, with some...

This course covers the basic concepts in system theory: stock and flow, positive and negative feedback. It also discusses logistic growth with carrying capacity, oscillation in linear systems, limit cycle and chaos in nonlinear systems. After learning the simulation software, systems in six different areas will be discussed: physical systems, engineering systems, chemical/biological systems, ec...

Welcome to the pediatric surgery service. Pediatric surgery is primarily concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of surgical diseases of children, and differs from general surgery in that it is an age defined surgical specialty instead of an anatomically defined specialty. Pediatric surgeons are usually trained in the management of general surgical disease of children but also in the treatme...

The purpose of the course will be to explore the application of artificial intelligence to interaction in virtual environments. Most virtual reality research has focused to date on the structure and visualization of virtual spaces rather than on the structure and manipulation of interactions with them. In contrast, commercial computer games have focused on interaction in their design but have r...

The Anatomical Society's core syllabus for anatomy (2003 and later refined in 2007) set out a series of learning outcomes that an individual medical student should achieve on graduation. The core syllabus, with 182 learning outcomes grouped in body regions, referenced in the General Medical Council's Teaching Tomorrow's Doctors, was open to criticism on the grounds that the learning outcomes we...
