View Rights PortalThe teacher-student conference is standard in the repertoire of teachers at all levels. Because it's a one-to-one encounter, teachers work hard to make it comfortable; but because it's a pedagogical moment, they hope that learning occurs in the encounter, too. The literature in this area often suggests that a conference is a conversation, but this doesn't account for a teacher's need to use it pedagogically. Laurel Johnson Black's new book explores the conflicting meanings and relations embedded in conferencing and offers a new theoretical understanding of the conference along with practical approaches to conferencing more effectively with students. Analyzing taped conferences of several different teachers and students, Black considers the influence that power, gender, and culture can have on a conference. She draws on sociolinguistic theory, as well as critical theory in composition and rhetoric, to build an understanding of the writing conference as an encounter somewhere between conversation and the classroom. She finds neither the conversation model nor versions of the master-apprentice model satisfactory. Her approach is humane, student-centered, and progressive, but it does not ignore the valid pedagogical purposes a teacher might have in conferencing.Between Talk and Teaching will be a valuable addition to the professional library of writing teachers and writing program administrators.

The bookis first of its kind available in the market. The book spreading over 42 s within three broad sections like aqua-informatics, statistics and economics has covered the advanced tools and techniques of bioinformatics and statistics for exploratory analysis of genomic and microarray data of fishes.Chapters on the latest developments on biotechnological approaches for fish disease diagnostic, infection and immunity of brood carps, cryoconservation of fishes, probiotics and nanotechnology in aquaculture are of paramount interest, in addition to information on prawn aquaculture, ornamental fish farming and trade. Information on various software and their application for exploratory data analysis and data mining leading to knowledge discovery and visualization is the main attraction of the book. Another important feature of the book is that one can find appropriate as well as illustrated examples exclusively with fisheries data. The statistics section includes biometrical and qualitative techniques in genetics and selective breeding of fish, besides fundamental statistical test, design of experiments and sampling methods for planning of experiments and survey in fisheries and aquaculture research. The book also includes econometric approach for technical efficiency estimation and input-output analysis, project evaluation, and impact assessment, linear programming, market intelligence, fisheries legislation, policy and IPR issues all of which are new in the field of fisheries and aquaculture.

This book is mainly written for those readers who are new comers in the field of Computer Science. Computer Science has become a common subject in Engineering and Technological streams now a day. More and more people are taking computer science as their career subject. But the irony is that 10-20% students have very basic idea of this subject. The reason behind this is this subject is one of the recent subjects added to the curriculum. Secondly, the number of academicians in this field are very few as compared to other subjects. The majority of the audiences lack basic idea of some of the major subjects of computer science. One of the subjects is Computer Networking. This book targets the grass root level audience who are either totally new to the subject or have already studied the subject but failed to grab the clear idea of the subject. Some of the strengths of the book are given below: Simple language which is readable and understandable for those students weak in English. Based on OSI reference model of the Computer Network. Chapters are formed on the basis of different layers of OSI reference model of the layer which is the conceptual backbone of Computer Network. The book covers vast things in very concise way and covers the syllabus of many institutions. The book is written after studying several books, therefore the author tried to overcome the drawbacks found in different books here.
