acknowledgment
it is explained that only a military common fielding an army from the frontier could truly enjoy and fully acknowledge the contribution from the comrades in arms guarding his left and appropriate, as well as the logistics department backing him up from behind. not being a standard and obtaining in no way been near to getting to be 1, it appears unavoidable that my acknowledgement is always to be inadequate and defective.
but i do have comrades in arms safeguarding me and pals and household members aiding me with logistics. i'm fortunate to possess stephan aris-brosou, linda bonen, andre dabrowski, christian detellier, marc ekker, man drouin, donal hickey, stan matwin, youlian pan, steve perry, marcel turcotte, vance trudeau, morris zhang, and david zhou as colleagues and friends who may have assisted me not merely in the function of comrades in arms but also being an crucial component of my logistics department.
much of the e-book is according to my two undergraduate programs and a graduate program on bioinformatics and molecular evolution at university of ottawa. my pupils, particularly graduate students, have provided me with frequent difficulties and pedagogical insights. the subsequent graduate college students have commented on different chapters and corrected typing errors: malisa carullo, sam khalouei, pinchao, ma, jan mennigen, gareth polidwor, jason popescu, ziyu song, huiling xiong, xiaoquan yao.
the world wide web has assisted me preserve get in touch with with colleagues far and extensive. many concepts and methods in the guide were included as a consequence of my discussions with esther betran, adam eyre-walker, joe felsenstein, youngbi fu, olivier gascuel, brian golding, paul higgs,
Microsoft Office 2010, king jordan, sudhir kumar, wen-hsiung li, jean lobry, manyuan long, axel meyer,
Windows 7 Product Key, etsuko moriyama, eduardo rocha, eduardo roman, marco salemi, anne-mieke vandamme, and reiner veitia.
while many people have read and commented on some parts from the e-book, stephan aris-brosou and yongbi fu have read almost every chapter and provided detailed comments and suggestions. joe felsenstein suggested,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, upon a quick reading of an earlier draft, adding the em algorithm for maximum likelihood calculation and mcmc algorithm for evaluating posterior probabilities in bayesian inference. as a little known fact, it can be also joe who, together with ben hall, got me started with molecular evolution and phylogenetics when i developed severe allergic response to deer mice that i used to study.
the patience of my editors, joseph burns and marcia kidston, are considerably appreciated. being an embarrassing manifestation of my naivety, i promised, in late 2003, to deliver the guide to the publisher before february 15, 2005,
Office 2007 Serial, and i thought it was a conservative estimate. after all, i had been teaching these computational methods for many years and producing a e-book seemed to require little more than simply dumping my lectures to a printer. what a humbling experience in writing the book!
i also wish to take this opportunity to thank my wife, zheng, my daughter kimberley, and my sons jeffery, jeremy and jadon, for their love, support and entertainment. without their constant demand for walks,
Office Professional 2010, talks and outdoor activities, daddy would probably have spent all his time in front of computers and consequently ruined his health many years ago.
a household of increasing size has aided me better appreciate the importance of financial matters, so that i will not forget to acknowledge the grant support i have received from university of ottawa and from canadian national science and engineering research council’s discovery grant, research tools and instrument grant, and strategic grant for doing research in bioinformatics and molecular evolution. while our funding agencies will inevitably focus on research projects aiming to turn the white and light from the sky into the golden and heavy in the bank, i'm glad that there is still some leftover for other enquiries.
