Richard A. L. Jones, "Soft Machines: Nanotechnology and Life"
Oxford University Press, USA | 2008 | ISBN: 0199226628 | 238 pages | PDF | 2 MB
`Review from previous edition Having had the chance to delve... into our copy, we find it refreshing to see a book about nanotechnology that is a) readable, b) covers all the issues, c) understandable to the layman and d) written by someone who knows what they are talking about. We can't think of another example that punches all of these buttons. ' TNTlog

`Like a knowledgeable host making dinner conversation, Jones moves from topic to topic with a stream of lively banter. [...] By the end of the book, Jones's vivid descriptions and diverse examples have made me a believer. He tells us again and again to look inside cells for inspiration, for methods and for raw materials when faced with this challenging new world. Biological evolution may not have found the best possible solutions to problems of nanoscale engineering, but as Jones says at the close of the book, "I would be very surprised if we can do better." ' American Scientist, by David S. Goodsell

`Soft Machines is an informative and readable exploration of the nanoworld: length scales, energies, forces, the tools used in the exploration, the importance of Brownian motion and van der Waals (surface) forces, quantum effects and band structures, nanotubes and quantum dots, etc.' Foresight Nanotech Update

Der Arbeitsbereich ist genauso wichtig wie der Fahrerplatz in Ihrem Auto: Richten Sie ihn sich ein! Passen Sie ihn den Anforderungen der jeweiligen Aufgabe an oder stellen Sie sich einen neuen selbst zusammen. Dieses Video verrät Ihnen, wo Sie die Shortcuts finden – aber auch, wie Sie diese festlegen und speichern, wenn Sie individuelle Tastenkürzel bevorzugen.

Information Systems Outsourcing: Enduring Themes, Global Challenges, and Process Opportunities By Rudy Hirschheim, Armin Heinzl, Jens Dibbern
Publisher: Springer 2009-04-01 | 594 Pages | ISBN: 3540888500 | PDF | 5.4 MB
The notion of outsourcing – making arrangements with an external entity for the provision of goods or services to supplement or replace internal efforts – has been around for centuries. The outsourcing of information systems (IS) is however a much newer concept but one which has been growing dramatically. This book attempts to synthesize what is known about IS outsourcing by dividing the subject in three interrelated parts: (1) Traditional Information Technology Outsourcing, (2) Information Technolgy Offshoring, and (3) Business Process Outsourcing. The book should be of interest to all academics and students in the field of Information Systems as well as corporate executives and professionals who seek a more profound analysis and understanding of the underlying factors and mechanisms of outsourcing.

Rich Newman, "Cinematic Game Secrets for Creative Directors and Producers: Inspired Techniques From Industry Legends"
Focal Press | 2008-10-24 | ISBN: 0240810716 | 248 pages | PDF | 6,5 MB
Cinematography for Games covers the space between the game and film industries by pointing out the most relevant cinematic techniques in today's hottest games, and including interviews with the game industry's greatest luminaries (including Will Wright: Sims legend, Harvey Smith, legendary game Deus Ex, Warren Spector creator of one of the original game companies, Origin).

The convergence of games and film is a widely discussed and debated topic in the game industry. Many major publishers, along with some high-profile directors (John Woo, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Tony Scott) are exploring the middle ground between the industries. This book introduces game producers and directors to the tried and true techniques cinematographers have relied on for years.

Game developers learn how to create compelling video games by: developing quality stories and characters; visualizing scenes within the game through the eyes of a cinematographer; using tried and true film industry methods for casting, voice-over, direction, and production.

The book will also feature screen shots from some of today's hottest titles that illustrate key cinematic concepts, as well as advice from successful game industry professionals already using these techniques.

--Author, Rich Newman has worked in the film industry(Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Alamo) and video game industry (Midway Games) for over five years and knows how to make the most of the convergence of technologies.

--With advice from some of the biggest names in the game world: ***Richard Rouse III***, Director of Game Design, Midway Games , ***Warren Spector*** creator of one of the original game companies, Origin, and ***Noah Falstein***, columnist, Game Developer magazine.

--With examples from today's hottest game titles (courtesy of GamingTrend) to illustrate film techniques used in games, like the use of narrow focus in cinematography, or over-the-shoulder viewpoint style of viewpoint that makes the game have a documentary -like quality.

--Interviews, case studies, and helpful glossary of terms all included.

Aid for Trade and Development By Dominique Njinkeu, Hugo Cameron
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521889510 | edition 2007 | PDF | 448 pages | 2,01 mb
Following in the wake of the World Trade Organization's engagement with Aid for Trade, this book brings together a range of perspectives around this emerging issue. The collection of articles in this volume presents many of the ideas elaborated through research conducted by International Lawyers and Economists Against Poverty (ILEAP) since 2005 and is intended to provide a basis for further study. Since many of the contributions on aid for trade to date have come from the North, the book looks to deepen the debate by forwarding voices and experiences from the South. The book traces the evolution of Aid for Trade from its beginnings and examines the global architecture, modalities, and costs associated with its implementation. Drawing on lessons from national and regional experiences, this book further explores ways in which Aid for Trade can both move forward and become a real tool for poverty reduction in beneficiary countries.

Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Science By Christopher Hitchcock
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell 2009 | 368 Pages | ISBN 1405101512 | PDF | 1.25 MB
Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Science features original essays on some of the most hotly debated issues in the field. Are there laws of social science? Are causes physically connected to their effects? Is the mind a system of modules shaped by natural selection?

Eight central questions shape the volume, with each question treated by a pair of opposing essays. This distinctive format offers readers a unique opportunity to observe philosophers engaging in head-to-head debate. Together, the essays provide an accessible introduction to the major topics in contemporary philosophy of science, including empiricism, confirmation, realism, laws, causation, and explanation.

Showcasing original arguments for well-defined positions, as well as clear and concise statements of sophisticated philosophical views, this volume is an excellent resource for professional philosophers and students alike.

Summary: Partial synopsis
Rating: 4

Belief in unobservables. The realist maintains that only the truth of our scientific theories can explain their great success ("no miracles"). Three alternative explanations are proposed. (1) A false theory may be successful because it is empirically equivalent to a true theory. Realist: this assumes that truth is manifested at the empirical level, which is the realist assumption. Antirealist: so what? This assumption is not enough to support the no miracles argument. (2) Present theories are successful because scientific theories are selected in a manner akin to evolution. Realist: this is not an alternative to the no miracles argument because it explains only why we have ended up with good theories, not what it is about these particular theories that make them successful. Antirealist: the explanation of their success is the manner in which they interact with empirical data, just as the explanation of the success of an organism is the manner in which it interacts with the environment (not its divine "perfection"). (3) The success of a theory is explained by the fact that the world behaves as if it this theory was true. Realist: this in hardly an explanation at all since it does not explain how, it does not explain the mechanism. Antirealist: It is a teleological explanation of sorts. Realists are rigging the debate in their favour by assuming that explanations which postulates the existence of entities is superior. (Cf. Newton vs. Cartesians on action at a distance.) An even stronger claim in this vein: the realist no miracles argument is circular since it assumes that explanatory virtues of hypotheses are reasons for believing them. This rule (inference to best explanation) is commonsensical and accepted by all in the empirical domain but why should we take its scope to extend to the domain of unobservables? Another antirealist challenge: to counter pessimistic induction from historical cases (e.g. Newton/Einstein) the realist needs a notion of approximate truth, which (in order to support the no miracles argument) must be strong enough to explain the success of science.

Modularity of mind. A priori arguments for modularity: evolution operates in (adaptive) increments; a general-purpose computer mind would be computationally intractable. Empirical arguments: human pathological evidence indicates that everything dissociates from everything else; children learn complex things very early despite poverty of stimulus. Example explained by desire-generating module but not general-purpose computer: high-status women want sons, low-status women want daughters, where high-status men do most of the breeding (humans, deer). The strongest objections attack the a priori arguments. It is not obvious that a general-purpose computer would be intractable once one considers it benefits in a variable environment and takes into account such things as the (possibly low) cost of mistakes. Complex behaviour requires some sort of metamodule so the modularists have not really solve the computability problem. They also assume a one-to-one relationship between function and module, i.e., that evolution "bolts on" new functions one by one to the existing repertoire. But evolution not only adds but also reforms drastically: feathers were developed for thermal regulation then used for flight; limbs for swimming, walking, flying. To assume that each module develops independently also ignores developmental entrenchment.

Florian Kramer, "Passive Sicherheit von Kraftfahrzeugen: Biomechanik - Simulation - Sicherheit im Entwicklungsprozess"
Vieweg+Teubner | 2008 | ISBN: 383480536X | 410 pages | PDF | 25 MB
Die Bedeutung der passiven Sicherheit von Kraftfahrzeugen wird durch das das seit vielen Jahren anhaltende öffentliche Interesse manifestiert. So ist in Umfrageergebnissen von Autofahrern und potentiellen Käufern regelmäßig die Sicherheit von Kraftfahrzeugen unter den ersten drei genannten Punkten wiederzufinden.

Welche ständig wachsende Bedeutung die passive Sicherheit von Kraftfahrzeugen heute hat, erkennt man an den in den letzten Jahren eingeführten entscheidenden Innovationen, die heute jedoch als Selbstverständlichkeit hingenommen werden, wie Überlebensraum durch steife Fahrgastzellen, kompatible, energieabsorbierende Deformationsstrukturen, entschärfte Lenkeinrichtung, gepolsterte Armaturentafel, Sicherheitsgurt und Airbag-System, jetzt sogar der Seiten-Airbag zum Schutz des Insassen bei Seitenkollisionen.

Springer | 2008-04-28 | ISBN: 1402069987 | 184 pages | PDF | 3,3 MB
Design and Modeling of Millimeter-wave CMOS Circuits for Wireless Transceivers describes in detail some of the interesting developments in CMOS millimetre-wave circuit design. This includes the re-emergence of the slow-wave technique used on passive devices, the license-free 60GHz band circuit blocks and a 76GHz voltage-controlled oscillator suitable for vehicular radar applications.

All circuit solutions described are suitable for digital CMOS technology. Digital CMOS technology developments driven by Moore s law make it an inevitable solution for low cost and high volume products in the marketplace. Explosion of the consumer wireless applications further makes this subject a hot topic of the day.

The book begins with a brief history of millimetre-wave research and how the silicon transistor is born. Originally meant for different purposes, the two technologies converged and found its way into advanced chip designs. The second part of the book describes the most important passive devices used in millimetre-wave CMOS circuits. Part three uses these passive devices and builds circuit blocks for the wireless transceiver. The book completes with a comprehensive list of references for further readings.

Design and Modeling of Millimeter-wave CMOS Circuits for Wireless Transceivers is useful to show the analogue IC designer the issues involved in making the leap to millimetre-wave circuit designs. The graduate student and researcher can also use it as a starting point to understand the subject or proceed to innovative from the works described herein.

My profession has lead me to read many, many real estate investing books and truth be told, most are mediocre at best -- this book is not one of those! I don't know either Ms. Patton, or Mr. Ryan, but I have read Ms. Patton's previous book and I think that this one is even better. In my opinion, Ms. Patton and Mr. Ryan have managed to put together a very timely, readable and informative book. Not just a rehash of the basics, this book offers information that actually advances the base of knowledge available to the average investor.

The gm/ID Design Methodology for CMOS Analog Low Power Integrated
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 225 | 2009-03 | ISBN 0387471006 | PDF | 5 MB
The design of analogue integrated circuits (CMOS) requires fixing transistor sizes and current magnitudes in order to reach goal(s) such as, a given gain-bandwidth product, slew-rate, min. power consumption, etc. Designers achieve these generally by taking advantage of their own experience while performing lots of simulations and/or optimisations. How to tackle the problem when experience is lacking? How to size an Operational Amplifier, for instance, when some transistors operate in strong inversion, other in moderate or weak inversion?

The objective of the book is to suggest straightforward methodologies at the earliest possible design stage and find currents and sizes very close to optimality. The methodology takes advantage of compact MOS models while following classical design procedures. The key feature is the set of inversion indeces of some transistors, called the 'active' transistors. These indeces are used in order to build the so-called performance space that complies with the dominant constraints. The other transistors are contingent to the first group and their sizes fixed through additional constraints. The idea is to postpone final decisions until some high level figures like band width, overal gain, etc. are met simultaneously.

Clément M. Lefebvre, "Electric power generation, transmission and efficiency"
Publisher:Nova Science Publishers | ISBN: 1600219799 | 2008 | PDF | 257 pages | 5 Mb PDF

Book Description:
This book presents new and important research on electric power and its generation, transmission and efficiency. The world is becoming increasingly electrified. For the foreseeable future, coal will continue to be the dominant fuel used for electric power production. The low cost and abundance of coal is one of the primary reasons for this. Electric power transmission, a process in the delivery of electricity to consumers, is the bulk transfer of electrical power. Typically, power transmission is between the power plant and a substation near a populated area. Electricity distribution is the delivery from the substation to the consumers. Due to the large amount of power involved, transmission normally takes place at high voltage (110 kV or above). Electricity is usually transmitted over long distance through overhead power transmission lines. Underground power transmission is used only in densely populated areas due to its high cost of installation and maintenance, and because the high reactive power gain produces large charging currents and difficulties in voltage management.

A power transmission system is sometimes referred to colloquially as a "grid"; however, for reasons of economy, the network is rarely a true grid. Redundant paths and lines are provided so that power can be routed from any power plant to any load center, through a variety of routes, based on the economics of the transmission path and the cost of power. Much analysis is done by transmission companies to determine the maximum reliable capacity of each line, which, due to system stability considerations, may be less than the physical or thermal limit of the line. Deregulation of electricity companies in many countries has led to renewed interest in reliable economic design of transmission networks.

Michel Le Bellac, "Physique quantique"
EDP Sciences | 2007 | ISBN: 2868839983 | 742 pages | PDF | 4,1 MB
La physique quantique permet de comprendre la nature profonde des phénomènes qui régissent le comportement des solides, des semi-conducteurs, des atomes, des particules élémentaires et de la lumière. Cette nouvelle édition de Physique quantique, qui contient trois nouveaux chapitres et de nombreuses mises à jour, offre tout d'abord une approche originale permettant de traiter immédiatement et de façon simple des applications importantes comme l'atome à deux niveaux, le laser ou la résonance magnétique nucléaire. Le formalisme est ensuite développé en privilégiant l'utilisation des symétries, et les applications usuelles comme la théorie du moment angulaire, les approximations semi-classiques, la théorie de la diffusion ou la physique des atomes et des molécules sont exposées en détail.

L'ouvrage accorde aussi une large place à des domaines nouveaux apparus depuis une vingtaine d'années et qui occupent aujourd'hui le devant de la scène : décohérence, cryptographie et information quantiques, refroidissement d'atomes par laser, condensats de Bose-Einstein, électrodynamique en cavité, états du champ électromagnétique..., sujets qui ne sont pas traités dans la plupart des manuels existants.
Ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants de master de physique et aux élèves des écoles d'ingénieurs. Il est également susceptible d'intéresser un large public de physiciens, chercheurs ou enseignants, qui souhaitent s'initier aux développements récents de la physique quantique.

Although the System i servers rate over a 99.9% availability factor, there are times when problems occur. Some problems limit the use of a device, program, or application. More severe and pervasive problems limit the use of more components. In either circumstance, the amount of time a component is unavailable relates directly to the actions taken to manage the situation. The ability to resolve problems depends on the tools that are available, the knowledge (and attitude) of the worker, the symptoms and nature of the problem at hand, and other factors.

This book is designed to introduce you to the problem determination aids used in an i5/OS® environment. You can become familiar with the tools that are available and the instructions for how each one works. As proficiency is built with the use of each tool and familiarity with the procedures, efficiency of the system operator and service personnel increases.
Consider this book a “Don’t Panic, Read Me First” guide to help you support System i models. It discusses problem analysis, problem determination, and problem source identification. And it offers you step-by-step instructions that show you how to use the i5/OS problem determination aids to produce detailed problem information...

Duncan Brown, Nick Hayes - Influencer Marketing:
Who Really Influences Your Customers?
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2008 | ISBN:0750686006 | Pages: 256 | PDF | 2.09 MB
Influencer Marketing is the most important new approach to marketing in a decade for those professionals at the leading edge of purchasing decision making. It shows that key decision makers in all major markets operate within communities of influencers- because major decisions are too complex and risky to taken in isolation.
The ecosystems this creates are full of these critically important people, whose impact on purchasing decisions is both pivotal and misunderstood. This new book demonstrates that-
As mass media impact wanes so the role of influencers grows - marketers need to know why and how to use this knowledge

The impact of blogs, wikis and other social media is that they enable new influencers to emerge, and disperse traditional sources of influence.
Large and small businesses worldwide pour billions of pounds each year into influencing what they think are their influencers. This book shows you that most of that money is being spent on the wrong people, leaving the real influencers all too often untouched.
Influencers do not do the buying, are not obvious, cannot be bought, and start off neutral - which is why their potential to affect sales is so great
Influencers are not all equal - they can be assessed, ranked and prioritised to be used effectively
Influencers can be influenced the question is how to get to them to generate market awareness, leads and address sales barriers
Influencer marketing is closely related to the relentless rise and success of word of mouth (WOM) and relationship marketing, and is now established as one of the armoury of new techniques professionals must use. For all those involved in marketing and sales this book will be an essential analysis of how to identify who has influence, how they apply it, and how you can turn it to your advantage.
Influencer Marketing is one of the first books to give an overview of one of the most important and fastest growing marketing techniques to have emerged in the last ten years.
Influencer Marketing is the discipline of engaging with key individuals in order to influence a market?s buying propensity. This may be through increasing awareness, creating sales leads and addressing sales objections through marketing activities. Importantly, influencers may not be buyers, and may not actually make the final buying decision. But they influence decision makers through their advice, experience, opinion and research.

Delft Science in Design 2 - Volume 3 Research in Design Series

Product Description
The mission of the publication Delft Science in Design 2 is to promote and advance the exchange of lessons learned on design between university and industry. Also, it aims to amplify the visibility of the results of academic effort in design at Delft University. The questions ‘What is design?”, ‘What is engineering?’, ‘What is science?’ can be fiercely debated. Between the extremes of artistic design and pure science, the transitions are like in fluid: they are smooth and gradual.

An approach focusing on how the university deals with knowledge may provide a better entry to the debate. The mutual understanding between scientists from different disciplines may get lost. It is one of the two major objectives of the Delft Science in Design congress to offer a kaleidoscope of the activities of the various faculties to all university colleagues and students, so that staff and students can be made aware of activities in other laboratories, and have the opportunity to be informed on details. Being informed is the first step to understanding.

By Shelley Powers (Author) Aimed at more experienced VB or C++ developers, Developing ASP Components, Second Edition gives plenty of advanced advice for creating and using COM-based components, which are a must for serious scalability and performance on the Microsoft Web platform. This book excels at showing the inner workings and issues involved in designing custom COM-based components in VB, ATL, and/or MFC, as well as tapping the built-in components that come standard with COM, including transactions, mail objects (with CDO), and database programming (with ADO).

In particular, for the C++/ATL/MFC developer, practical sources of information (and sample code) are in short supply, and for this readership, the book fills a particularly worthwhile niche. Much of it uses VB in examples for designing effective, high-performance components. Several early sections look at the details of COM-based components (including the notoriously difficult threading models, along with similar details). The author does a good job of explaining this challenging topic. The practical examples of using built-in COM objects and services on the Windows platform really make this book a winner. The sample code and hints for tapping such COM-based standards as transactions, Active Directory, message queueing, CDO, and ADO are very helpful. Better yet, the book covers the same ground for C++ programmers using ATL (and MFC) to create the most lightweight (and potentially the fastest) Web components available today.

The unexpected pleasure of reading books about databases is that they are often written by authors with highly organized minds. Paul DuBois and his editors at New Riders have assembled MySQL with a clarity and lucidity that inspires confidence in the subject matter: a (nearly) freely redistributable SQL-interpreting database client/server primarily geared for Unix systems but maintained for Windows platforms as well. What isn’t “free” about MySQL (the application) is its server’s commercial use; all clients and noncommercial server use are free. DuBois’s tome isn’t free either, but its list price is modest in light of its value and the value of its namesake.

The volume is superbly organized into 12 chapters and 10 appendices and contains a concise table of contents and a comprehensive 50-page index. It is peppered with references to the online HTML documentation that comes with the source and binary distributions (which are available and easy to install in stable rpm and tar releases.)

The first third of MySQL is an excellent instruction tool for database newbies; the second third is a detailed reference for MySQL developers; and the last third consists of clearly annotated appendices, including C, Perl (but not Python), and PHP interfaces.

Perhaps as an indication of the collective will of the developers of MySQL, DuBois does not separate Windows 95/98/NT design or development specifics from its main discussions. Platform-independent design is a goal, not a reality, and users will have to rely on newsgroups and mailing lists for details. Moreover, security issues are addressed in a mere 18 pages, a large part of which is devoted to standard Unix file and network-access permissions. Next to nothing is mentioned about defense against common hacking strategies, the use of secure shell interfaces, or access encryption.

Although it is nearly 800 pages in length, DuBois’s book is thankfully not encyclopedic. It is a valuable précis of the MySQL database, and its easy-to-skim look and feel will make it an excellent browse for database experts who want to know what is and is not possible within MySQL, the application. –Peter Leopold –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Library Journal
MySql is a very popular relational database for a number of reasons: it is free for most applications; while not open source it is heavily used by the open source community; and it runs easily on Windows and UNIX. The author’s approach is to use two sample databases to explain SQL (structured query) databases with Perl, PHP, and C; administering MySql; and security. This book will be very popular with users who already understand relational databases and are trying to move from Microsoft or Oracle to MySql.

CSS Hacks and Filters follows, roughly, an old-to-new, simple-to-complex structure. The oldest browsers CSS designers are still struggling with are covered first, followed by more up-to-date, standards-based browsers.

Internet Explorer’s proprietary conditional comment technology is important enough (given Internet Explorer’s continued prevalence and CSS bugs) to deserve a chapter by itself. In all these early chapters, I tackled real-world CSS problems and explained how the hacks covered can solve them. Later chapters explore the intersection of CSS with other Web technologies such as JavaScript, the Document Object Model (DOM), and application servers. Graphics and other visual media weigh heavily in the modern Web, and manipulating them properly with CSS is the subject of Chapter 7. Accessibility is a well-deserved hot button and techniques for applying CSS in a responsible fashion are explored in Chapter 8.
The latter portion of the undefined is intended to offer practical examples for designers trying to put it all together—and keep it there. You’ll find separate chapters on CSS layouts, navigations systems, and debugging. My ongoing work with Dreamweaver persuaded me to present a couple of additional real-world chapters to address the use of CSS in Macromedia’s world-class and widely used authoring tool: one chapter is on core CSS use in Dreamweaver and the other concerns Dreamweaver templates and CSS. This “getting-it-done” attitude is carried over into the two appendixes. The resources listed in Appendix A should give you a full spectrum of jumpingoff places, and the tables in Appendix B are intended to help you find a safe place to land.

According to an Indian saying, the game of chess is a sea in which a mosquito can drink and an elephant can bathe. To which many chess players would surely like to add: ‘And in which it’s very easy to drown in the middle game!’ In contrast to the opening or the endgame, the middle game seems to offer little in the way of concrete starting-points for methodical study. In Power Chess with Pieces former world championship candidate Jan Timman shows the way through the fascinating maze of the middle game.

What, after all, is the point of getting an advantage in the opening if you don’t know how to exploit this advantage? On the basis of countless examples encountered in his rich chess career, Jan Timman deals with themes like ‘strong knight against bishop’ and the ‘dominant bishop pair’. How is one to proceed when one emerges from the opening with a strong knight and one’s opponent is stuck with a bad bishop? And is the bishop pair really as strong as they say? And how can one put this asset to maximum use? Or, conversely, how can one contain the damage if the roles are reversed? With his lucid style and practical approach, Timman follows in the footsteps of his teachers Max Euwe and Mikhail Botvinnik. Power Chess with Pieces is a book that will delight and instruct enthusiastic beginner and seasoned club player alike.

Paul Fifield, "Marketing Strategy Masterclass: Implementing Market Strategies"
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2008 | ISBN: 0750686316 | 628 pages | PDF | 4,9 MB
This is a highly structured and fully developed practical companion to Fifield's successful Marketing Strategy- now entering its third edition. It can however stand alone for those executives whose needs are for guidance on implementing marketing strategy rather than doing the background thinking and covering the key conceptual issues.

Taking the same underlying format as Marketing Strategy the book does not cover the 'corporate/business strategy' content (which takes up Part 2 of the earlier title) but focuses overwhelmingly on the practical details of using a real strategy model (SCORPIO) to develop a plan.

The book will be in three parts all based on how to research, create and then activate a strategic market plan. Great emphasis is placed on the clarity of the planning model- used internationally with major companies and refined over many years. Important elements for the user of the book will be the use of-

* Questionnaires and feedback techniques
* Templates that can be used to create real plans as the user works through
the model
* A huge range of FAQs that stimulate and support thinking based on
widespread company experience

This is a real and practical masterclass for serious executives and students, to be used alongside Strategic Marketing or independently.

* Linked to the author's highly successful and influential Marketing
Strategy title- recently published in it's 3rd edition

* Highly practical approach written by a widely published advisor to
major international businesses who also holds a senior academic post

* Based on the unique SCORPIO model supported by 20 years of use in the
international strategy market

* All the tabular, template, diagrammatic and questionnaire materials will be available to users in electronic form

Dorothy E Leidner (Editor), Tim Kayworth, "Global Information Systems: The Implications of Culture for IS Managment"
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2008 | ISBN: 0750686480 | 496 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB
Information technology has had a major impact on individuals, organizations and society over the past 50 years. There are few organizations that can afford to ignore IT and few individuals who would prefer to be without it. As managerial tasks become more complex, so the nature of the required information systems (IS) changes - from structured, routine support to ad hoc, complex enquiries at the highest levels of management. Global Information Systems aims to present the many complex and inter-related issues associated with culture in the management of information systems.

The editors have selected a wide range of contemporary articles from leading experts in North America and Europe that represent a wide variety of different national and cultural environments. They offer valid explanations for, rather than simply pointing out cultural differences in articles that cover a variety of national cultures, including: China, Egypt, Finland, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Jamaica, Peru South Korea, Kuwait, Mexico, Singapore, Sweden, the United Arab Emirate, the UK, and the US.

* Provides students with insight into managing global firms and IT workforce
* Contributions are carefully selected from universities of world renown and is supported by helpful introductions for each paper
* Reflects current trends and debates around Global IS

Luis Santos Pereira, Ian Cordery, Iacovos Iacovides, "Coping with Water Scarcity: Addressing the Challenges"
Springer | 2009-04 | ISBN: 1402095783 | 382 pages | PDF | 17 MB
One of the main problems confronting the world of the 21st Century is a shortage of water. There is already severe scarcity in many regions of the world, causing tremendous problems for local populations and indeed entire societies. There is insufficient water available for the production of food to alleviate poverty and starvation; the lack of water hampers industrial, urban and tourism development, forcing restrictions on other sectors, especially agriculture; health problems arise as the deterioration of ground and surface waters favours water-borne diseases, which flourish in the absence of decent water distribution and sewerage systems. Water conflicts still arise in areas under stress, while water for nature has become a vanishing priority in such zones.

This book is a guide to the establishment of regional and/or local guidelines for developing and implementing new ideas for coping with water scarcity. The basic premise underlying the book is that water scarcity will persist, so personal, human and society-wide skills will be needed to cope with it while living in harmony with the necessary environmental constraints. The book provides basic information to assist decision makers, water managers, engineers, agronomists, social scientists and other professions (and their students) in formulating coherent, hopefully harmonious and consolidated views on the issue. Guidelines are also given for introducing the general public to the concept of water scarcity and how to deal with it.

The Marginal Cost of Public Funds: Theory and Applications
Publisher: The MIT Press | ISBN: 0262042509 | edition 2008 | PDF | 332 pages | 1,7 mb
The marginal cost of public funds (MCF) measures the loss incurred by society in raising additional revenues to finance government spending. The MCF has emerged as one of the most important concepts in public economics; it is a key component in evaluations of tax reforms, public expenditure programs, and other public policies. The Marginal Cost of Public Funds provides a unified treatment of the MCF, carefully developing its theoretical foundations in a variety of contexts and describing its application to a wide range of policies--from excise taxes in Thailand to public sector borrowing in Canada and the United States.

The Marginal Cost of Public Funds develops the basic theory of the MCF within the framework of public economics and shows how it is related to the traditional measures of the efficiency loss from distortionary taxation. The MCF concept is then applied to the major sources of revenues for governments--sales and excise taxes, taxes on labor income, taxes on the return to capital, public sector borrowing, and intergovernmental grants. This book will be an essential reference for economists and public policy analysts both in and out of government. Exercises and recommendations for further reading at the end of each main chapter highlight its usefulness as a supplementary text in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in public economics.

But I have sketchy knowledge of many fundamental words, like "water faucet." This book systematically plows through commonly used vocabulary. It tells you, for example, how to say "web browser" and "mouse" in Chinese (which I find essential for showing my in-laws how to use a computer). And, unlike a Mandarin pictorial dictionary I have that displays only Chinese characters, this book also has pinyin and uses the words in sentences.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who can pronunce pinyin and wants to build up a practical vocabulary." - reader's review.

Introduction to Multivariate Statistical Analysis in Chemometrics
Publisher: CRC | Pages: 464 | 2009-02-17 | ISBN 1420059475 | PDF | 7 MB
Using formal descriptions, graphical illustrations, practical examples, and R software tools, Introduction to Multivariate Statistical Analysis in Chemometrics presents simple yet thorough explanations of the most important multivariate statistical methods for analyzing chemical data. It includes discussions of various statistical methods, such as principal component analysis, regression analysis, classification methods, and clustering.

Written by a chemometrician and a statistician, the book reflects both the practical approach of chemometrics and the more formally oriented one of statistics. To enable a better understanding of the statistical methods, the authors apply them to real data examples from chemistry. They also examine results of the different methods, comparing traditional approaches with their robust counterparts. In addition, the authors use the freely available R package to implement methods, encouraging readers to go through the examples and adapt the procedures to their own problems.

Andrew Lih "Wikipedia Revolution, The: How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World's Greatest Encyclopedia"
Hyperion | 2009-03-17 | ISBN: 1401303714 | pages | PDF | 1,9 MB

Since Wikipedia was launched online in 2001 as "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit," it has blossomed to more than a billion words spread over 10 million articles in 250 languages, including 2.5 million articles in English, according to Wikipedia cofounder Wales in the foreword. Lih, a Beijing-based commentator on new media and technology for NPR and CNN, researched Wikipedia and collaborative journalism as a University of Hong Kong academic, and he has been a participating "Wikipedian" himself for the past five years. He notes the site has "invigorated and disrupted the world of encyclopedias..

. yet only a fraction of the public who use Wikipedia realize it is entirely created by legions of unpaid and often unidentified volunteers." Other books have surfaced (How Wikipedia Works; Wikinomics), but Lih's authoritative approach covers much more, from the influence of Ayn Rand on Wikipedia cofounder Jimmy Wales and the "burnout and stress" of highly active volunteer editor-writers to controversies, credibility crises and vandalism. Wales's more traditional earlier encyclopedia, the peer-reviewed Nupedia, began to fade after he saw how Ward Cunningham's software invention, Wiki (Hawaiian for "quick"), could generate collaborative editing. Tracing Wikipedia's evolution and expansion to international editions, Lih views the encyclopedia as a "global community of passionate scribes," attributing its success to a policy of openness which is "not so much technical phenomenon as social phenomenon."

Daniel Pinchbeck, Ken Jordan, "Toward 2012: Perspectives on the Next Age"
Tarcher | 2008 | ISBN: 1585427004 | 368 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. In his introduction to this wide-ranging collection, author and "psychonaut" Pinchbeck (2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl) reaffirms his hypothesis that, based on Mayan predictions

, "December 12, 2012 may usher in a new world age" necessitating a "rapid evolution of collective intelligence" in order to avoid cataclysm. A year ago, Pinchbeck and collaborator Jordan (an "online pioneer") launched the web journal Reality Sandwich to bring together the diverse range of voices exploring "current processes of spirtual and material transformation... usually outside the mainstream." This anthology culls 36 wide-ranging essays from the site covering everything from metaphics to geopolitics in sections on Community, Art, Sex and the Shamanic. Alberto Villodo describes the healing practices of "jaguar medicine"; John Major Jenkins looks at how hallucinogens explain Mayan astronomical discoveries; ST Frequency dresses down "pseudo-shaman" Carlos Castaneda, whose drug tourism threatens indigenous Mexican cultures. Closer to home, a writer who goes by Homegrown Evolution gives tips on how to grow guerilla gardens on vacant lots, and Ken Jordan writes an appreciation of Abbie Hoffman, the '60s activist who brought the NYSE to a halt by showering money on the "suits." Not every essay will connect, but anyone interested in the future or the fringe should find some thought-provoking reading among them.

George Friedman, "The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century"
Doubleday | 2009 | ISBN: 038551705X | 272 pages | PDF | 6,4 MB
From Publishers Weekly
With a unique combination of cold-eyed realism and boldly confident fortune-telling, Friedman (Americas Secret War) offers a global tour of war and peace in the upcoming century. The author asserts that the United States power is so extraordinarily overwhelming that it will dominate the coming century, brushing aside Islamic terrorist threats now, overcoming a resurgent Russia in the 2010s and 20s and eventually gaining influence over space-based missile systems that Friedman names battle stars. Friedman is the founder of Stratfor,

an independent geopolitical forecasting company, and his authoritative-sounding predictions are based on such factors as natural resources and population cycles. While these concrete measures lend his short-term forecasts credence, the later years of Friedmans 100-year cycle will provoke some serious eyebrow raising. The armed border clashes between Mexico and the United States in the 2080s seem relatively plausible, but the space war pitting Japan and Turkey against the United States and allies, prognosticated to begin precisely on Thanksgiving Day 2050, reads as fantastic (and terrifying) science fiction. Whether all of the visions in Friedmans crystal ball actually materialize, they certainly make for engrossing entertainment. (Feb.)

Product Description
The move to 3D graphics represents a dramatic artistic and technical development in the history of video games that suggests an overall transformation of games as media. The experience of space has become a key element of how we understand games and how we play them. In Video Game Spaces, Michael Nitsche investigates what this shift means for video game design and analysis.

Navigable 3D spaces allow us to crawl, jump, fly, or even teleport through fictional worlds that come to life in our imagination. We encounter these spaces through a combination of perception and interaction. Drawing on concepts from literary studies, architecture, and cinema, Nitsche argues that game spaces can evoke narratives because the player is interpreting them in order to engage with them. Consequently, Nitsche approaches game spaces not as pure visual spectacles but as meaningful virtual locations. His argument investigates what structures are at work in these locations, proceeds to an in-depth analysis of the audiovisual presentation of game worlds, and ultimately explores how we use and comprehend their functionality.

Nitsche introduces five analytical layers—rule-based space, mediated space, fictional space, play space, and social space—and uses them in the analyses of games that range from early classics to recent titles. He revisits current topics in game research, including narrative, rules, and play, from this new perspective.

Video Game Spaces provides a range of necessary arguments and tools for media scholars, designers, and game researchers with an interest in 3D game worlds and the new challenges they pose.

The Atari Video Computer System (Platform Studies)

Product Description
The Atari Video Computer System dominated the home videogame market so completely that “Atari” became the generic term for a videogame console. The Atari VCS was affordable and offered the flexibility of changeable cartridges. Nearly a thousand of these were created, the most significant of which established new techniques, mechanics, and even entire genres. This book offers a detailed and accessible study of this influential videogame console from both computational and cultural perspectives.

Studies of digital media have rarely investigated platforms—the systems underlying computing. This book (the first in a series of Platform Studies) does so, developing a critical approach that examines the relationship between platforms and creative expression. Nick Montfort and Ian Bogost discuss the Atari VCS itself and examine in detail six game cartridges: Combat, Adventure, Pac-Man, Yars’ Revenge, Pitfall!, and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. They describe the technical constraints and affordances of the system and track developments in programming, gameplay, interface, and aesthetics. Adventure, for example, was the first game to represent a virtual space larger than the screen (anticipating the boundless virtual spaces of such later games as World of Warcraft and Grand Theft Auto), by allowing the player to walk off one side into another space; and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back was an early instance of interaction between media properties and video games.

Montfort and Bogost show that the Atari VCS—often considered merely a retro fetish object—is an essential part of the history of video games.

Emergence in Games

Product Description
The future direction of game development is towards more flexible, realistic, and interactive game worlds. However, current methods of game design do not allow for anything other than pre-scripted player exchanges and static objects and environments. An emergent approach to game development involves the creation of a globally designed game system that provides rules and boundaries for player interactions, rather than prescribed paths.

Emergence in Games provides a detailed foundation for applying the theory and practice of emergence in games to game design. Emergent narrative, characters and agents, and game worlds are covered and a hands-on tutorial and case study allow the reader to the put the skills and ideas presented into practice.

About the Author
Penny Sweetser completed her Ph.D. in computer science on the topic “An Emergent Approach to Game Design - Development and Play.” She has contributed to various books, journals and international conference on games. She has been working for the game developer, The Creative Assembly, as a game designer for the last two years, recently releasing the AAA title, Medieval 2: Total War. She previously lectured and researched at the University of Queensland, in the areas of game design, artificial intelligence and user-centered design.

Helclac, "Cross-Platform Game Programming"
Steven Goodwin | 2005 | ISBN: 1584503793 | 460 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB
With many of today’s games being released simultaneously on all platforms, the need for a good cross-platform development strategy is essential. Cross-Platform Game Programming covers this rarely discussed area and provides the techniques needed to develop your games effectively. It explains the plethora of problems that exist within every cross-platform game, and gives you the understanding and ability needed to solve them. It also teaches you how to write code that behaves identically on all machines.

In addition, the book explains why standard libraries are not standard enough, and covers the nuances between compilers, debuggers, and operating systems. Throughout the book, how-to guidelines are provided for using the same code to handle different hardware specifications without change for ported games, or those being build to work cross-platform from the ground up. It helps senior and lead programmers determine where the platform-specific features should start and end, and provides methods for achieving this. It also includes support for those using middleware by demonstrating how to write code that will run identically on different machines, despite the platform making use of the same APIs. Because this book teaches the methods, not the API, it scales well for future platforms and empowers you to create your own designs. • BuildTools – Jam, the cross-platform build tool covered in Chapter 11 as an alternative to Makefiles • Graphics – OpenGL, GLUT, and Microsoft DirectX SDK • Utility Libraries – STLport, Boost, POSIX threads for Windows, and PLib • Scripting – Lua, source for the Lua interpreter and Lua compiler, and the basic Lua core required by both

System Requirements IBM PC or 100% compatible, 128MB RAM (256MB recommended), 100MB of available hard-disk space (500MB additional space is required for the full DirectX SDK), and a copy of Microsoft Visual C++ version 6 or above. An Intel Pentium 90 Processor is required, although Pentium II or higher is recommended for the majority of the code. A Pentium III, 1 GHz is recommended for the DirectX SDK. Windows 98 SE or later is required with a VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended). The DirectX SDK requires a DX9-compatible graphics card with suitable drivers and OpenGL.

Enterprise Architecture: Creating Value by Informed Governance (The Enterprise Engineering Series): Martin Op 't Land, Erik Proper, Maarten Waage, Jeroen Cloo, Claudia Steghuis
Springer | ISBN: 354085231X | December 16, 2008 | PDF (OCR) | 146 pages | 14345 KB
Twenty years after the first publications and books on enterprise architecture, the domain is evolving from a technology-driven towards a more business-driven approach, thus empowering decision makers to adapt and transform an enterprise in order to keep up with changing business needs. At the same time the discipline of enterprise architecting has matured, leading to a better understanding of the profession of an enterprise architect.

With this book, the authors aim to provide an overview of enterprise architecture including the process of creating, applying and maintaining it, thus taking into account the perspectives of CxOs, business managers, enterprise architects, solution architects, designers and engineers. They explore the results that are produced as part of an enterprise architecture, the process by which these are produced, and the role the architect plays in this process. As such, they do not describe a specific method for developing an enterprise (IT) architecture, nor do they define a specific modeling language for enterprise architecture, rather they offer the reader a fundamental way of thinking about enterprise architecture, which will enable him to select and apply the right approach, architecture framework and tools that meet the objective and context of the architecture work at hand. This approach is emphasized by discussion statements at the end of each chapter, sparking thoughts about benefits, shortcomings, and future research directions.

Covering both theoretical foundations and practical use, and written in close collaboration between industry professionals and academic lecturers, Enterprise Architecture thus offers an ideal introduction for students in areas like business information systems or management science, as well as guidance and background for professionals seeking a more thorough understanding of their field of work.

Chih Wu, "Thermodynamics And Heat Powered Cycles: A Cognitive Engineering Approach"
Nova Science Publishers | 2007 | ISBN: 1600210341 | 659 pages | PDF | 9,75 MB
Due to the rapid advances in computer technology, intelligent computer software and multimedia have become essential parts of engineering education. Software integration with various media such as graphics, sound, video and animation is providing efficient tools for teaching and learning. A modern textbook should contain both the basic theory and principles, along with an updated pedagogy. Often traditional engineering thermodynamics courses are devoted only to analysis, with the expectation that students will be introduced later to relevant design considerations and concepts. Cycle analysis is logically and traditionally the focus of applied thermodynamics. Type and quantity are constrained, however, by the computational efforts required. The ability for students to approach realistic complexity is limited

. Even analyses based upon grossly simplified cycle models can be computationally taxing, with limited educational benefits. Computerised look-up tables reduce computational labour somewhat, but modelling cycles with many interactive loops can lie well outside the limits of student and faculty time budgets. The need for more design content in thermodynamics books is well documented by industry and educational oversight bodies such as ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology). Today, thermodynamic systems and cycles are fertile ground for engineering design. For example, niches exist for innovative power generation systems due to deregulation, co-generation, unstable fuel costs and concern for global warming. Professor Kenneth Forbus of the computer science and education department at Northwestern University has developed ideal intelligent computer software for thermodynamic students called CyclePad. CyclePad is a cognitive engineering software. It creates a virtual laboratory where students can efficiently learn the concepts of thermodynamics, and allows systems to be analyzed and designed in a simulated, interactive computer aided design environment. The software guides students through a design process and is able to provide explanations for results and to coach students in improving designs. Like a professor or senior engineer, CyclePad knows the laws of thermodynamics and how to apply them. If the user makes an error in design, the program is able to remind the user of essential principles or design steps that may have been overlooked. If more help is needed, the program can provide a documented, case study that recounts how engineers have resolved similar problems in real life situations. CyclePad eliminates the tedium of learning to apply thermodynamics, and relates what the user sees on the computer screen to the design of actual systems. This integrated, engineering textbook is the result of fourteen semesters of CyclePad usage and evaluation of a course designed to exploit the power of the software, and to chart a path that truly integrates the computer with education. The primary aim is to give students a thorough grounding in both the theory and practice of thermodynamics. The coverage is compact without sacrificing necessary theoretical rigor. Emphasis throughout is on the applications of the theory to actual processes and power cycles. This book will help educators in their effort to enhance education through the effective use of intelligent computer software and computer assisted course work.

Internet Alley: High Technology in Tysons Corner, 1945-2005(Lemelson Center Studies in Invention and Innovation)
Publisher: The MIT Press | 2008-04-30 | ISBN: 0262033747 | PDF | 192 pages | 1.96 MB

Much of the world's Internet management and governance takes place in a corridor extending west from Washington, DC, through northern Virginia toward Washington Dulles International Airport. Much of the United States' military planning and analysis takes place here as well. At the center of that corridor is Tysons Corner—an unincorporated suburban crossroads once dominated by dairy farms and gravel pits. Today, the government contractors and high- tech firms—companies like DynCorp, CACI, Verisign, and SAIC—that now populate this corridor have created an "Internet Alley" off the Washington Beltway. In Internet Alley, Paul Ceruzzi examines this compact area of intense commercial development and describes its transformation into one of the most dynamic and prosperous regions in the country.

Ceruzzi explains how a concentration of military contractors carrying out weapons analysis, systems engineering, operations research, and telecommunications combined with suburban growth patterns to drive the region's development. The dot-com bubble's burst was offset here, he points out, by the government's growing national security-related need for information technology. Ceruzzi looks in detail at the nature of the work carried out by these government contractors and how it can be considered truly innovative in terms of both technology and management.

Today in Tysons Corner, clusters of sleek new office buildings housing high-technology companies stand out against the suburban landscape, and the upscale Tysons Galleria Mall is neighbor to a government-owned radio tower marked by a sign warning visitors not to photograph or sketch it. Ceruzzi finds that a variety of perennially relevant issues intersect here, making it both a literal and figurative crossroads: federal support of scientific research, the shift of government activities to private contractors, local politics of land use, and the postwar movement from central cities to suburbs.

Amazon.com Review:The mightiest fortresses in the world can fail, and when that happens all you can do (you being the person responsible for castle security) is figure out what went wrong, what damage was done, and by whom. If the castle was located in the right kind of kingdom--to take a metaphor too far--you can hope to prosecute the perpetrator. Computer Forensics: Computer Crime Scene Investigation explains how to gather evidence of computer crimes in such a way that it will be more likely to lead to a conviction in a criminal court. It's an interesting legal area--after all, it's almost always you, and not any law enforcement agency doing the surveillance and evidence-gathering on your computer systems--and John Vacca has done a fair bit of research. This book will probably expand your thinking on the subject of information security.

On the other hand, though Vacca gives good general advice (don't lose volatile information by shutting a compromised machine down midattack; do be prepared to translate memory dumps into jury-readable form), he sometimes meanders into generalizations and irrelevancies. The fact that terrorists distribute their plans via public Web sites is certainly scary, but hardly helpful to someone wanting to prosecute the guy who vandalized the corporate Web site. Similarly interesting, but practically irrelevant to most of us, are discussions of high-energy radio frequency (HERF) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons that can knock out information systems from a distance. More focus on evidence collection in organizational computing environments would make this book useful, rather than just generally informative. --David Wall

Topics covered: How to gather evidence of a hack attack after the fact, and a lot of general-interest information on the state of crime and law enforcement in computer technology. Coverage is almost all general in nature, dealing with how to formulate a strategy and deal with events without getting into details of any operating system or computing environment.

Rickland Hollar, Richard Murphy, "Enterprise Web Services Security"
Charles River Media | 2005 | ISBN: 1584504137 | 432 pages | PDF | 1,15 MB
Learn to Protect Your Assets and Prevent Attacks!

The use of Web Services for Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) transactions has created risks that expose critical assets to increasingly greater threats. Enterprise Web Services Security provides the information developers, application architects, and security professionals need to build security policies and strategies from the ground up in a Web Services environment. Most security books focus on computer or network security in isolation, relegating the other areas to overview chapters or appendices. A single-system view of security, however, is not adequate to describe a distributed Web Services-based environment as it causes the developer to have to piece together material from several resources in order to create secure Web sites and services. This book takes a holistic approach that mirrors the perspective developers need to take regardless of whether they are planning and implementing the security mechanisms for a Web Service, a Web site, or an enterprise. It details how to secure critical components such as workstations, servers, and networks, the goals behind an enterprise’s security policies, the policies an organization should have in place, and how to communicate those policies using WS-Policy Framework and WS-Security Policy. Various threats and attacks are also covered, as well as the identity management, authentication, authorization, access control, confidentiality, and integrity mechanisms needed to protect messages and transactions. Enterprise Web Services Security is the one book developers need to make all their security mechanisms work successfully to thwart attacks and protect assets.

Key Features! * Teaches developers, application architects, and security professionals how to build security policies and select appropriate security mechanisms and strategies in a Web Services environment * Covers the underlying protocols and technologies that form the Internet (TCP/IP, HTTP) and Web Services (XML, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI), and the major XML and Web Services standards that are the basis of implementing security in a Web Services environment * Teaches how to implement and communicate security mechanisms using WSSecurity, XML Encryption, XML Signature, SAML, and XACML * Explores the importance of auditing at both the server and network level and how to create trust relationships and domains * Explains how to implement security policies and mechanisms in both J2EE and .NET * Includes a companion CD-ROM with all of the references, source code, and figures from the book ON THE CD (see Appendix B for more details) * Code Samples: Contains all of the XML listings from the book * References: Provides hyperlinks for all the reference materials used in the book * Work sheet: Includes a work sheet for deploying a Web Services system as described in the book * Figures: Includes all of the fi gures from the book by chapter SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Any Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX system that allows reading this CDROM and has the ability to view and display XML, text, PDF, and Microsoft Office files.

Arron Ferguson, "Creating Content Management Systems in Java"
Charles River Media | 2006 | ISBN: 1584504668 | 512 pages | PDF | 3,5 MB
In today's fast-paced, information-packed world, it's critical for businesses to organize and manipulate the data gathered from customers, sales, and product responses, etc. into usable information. Content Management Systems (CMS) can do this for your business easily and efficiently. There are several commercial systems available, but customizing one for your specific needs is usually necessary based on your data. Creating Content Management Systems in Java teaches you how to develop an open source CMS from scratch using XML as the storage mechanism, XSLT as the presentation layer, and Java and JSPs & Servlets to realize the multi-tiered architecture. The book also covers data modeling in XML and the use of XSLT as a presentation vehicle for custom XML formats. Creating Content Management Systems in Java is written for Web and software developers (specifically Java developers) who wish to learn more about the field of content management. The book provides a practical, applied perspective with complete demonstrations using code to show you how a solution or feature can be implemented.

Throughout the book you will work through the development of a complete, open source, working CMS example, beginning with the conceptual ideas of content management. From there you'll dive into the exploration of practical design solutions, and then move into the final implementations in each tier of the software that becomes the CMS. To benefit the most from this book, you should already know the Java programming language and have a basic understanding of the Web. You do not need to know XML, XSLT, CSS, or XHTML because these topics are covered thoroughly, although a basic understanding will be helpful. So, if you need to learn more about CMS development, this is the book for you.

Robert B. Reese, "Microprocessors: From Assembly Language to C Using the PICI8FXX2"
Charles River Media | 2005 | ISBN: 1584503785 | 652 pages | PDF | 9,25 MB
This book is designed for a first course in microprocessors or it may be used as a reference for practicing engineers. The book is unique in presenting a balanced, integrated topic coverage of assembly language programming, microcontroller programming via the C language, and hardware interfacing. Programming topics are discussed using both assembly language and C, while hardware interfacing examples use C to keep code complexity low and improve clarity. A goal of this book is to prepare students for advanced courses in embedded systems or computer architecture. As such, the topic coverage is wide, with a mixture of software and hardware topics. The assembly language programming topics emphasize the linkage between C language constructs and their assembly language equivalents, so that students clearly understand the impact of C coding choices in terms of execution time and memory requirements. Hardware interface topics included in the textbook cover the fundamentals (parallel, serial, interrupts, A/D, D/A) using devices that do not require an extensive circuits background. Laboratory Projects These provide an extensive off-the-shelf lab experience (13 experiments) for using the PIC18: one experiment on introductory computer architecture topics, four experiments on PIC18 assembly language, and eight hardware experiments. The hardware experiments require the read to breadboard a PIC18F242 system that includes a serial EEPROM, external 8-bit Digital-to-Analog converter, and RS232 interface, and an infrared receiver module. The hardware labs cover all major subsystems on the PIC18: A/D, timers, asynchronous serial interface, and the 12C interface. All hardware labs are programmed in C, using the HI-TECH PICC18 compiler. A supplemental website (www.reesemicro.com) has book C code examples that have been modified to be compatible with both the Microchip MCC18 and HI-TECH PICC18 compilers, as well as lecture notes and sample quizzes.

Video2Brain - Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 DVD-Authoring mit dem Production Studio (GERMAN) [Tutorial] | 3,2 GB
Trainer: Sven Brencher | ISBN 9783827360267 | für Windows und Mac
Sie suchen produktive Wege zum Authoring von DVDs? Dann liegen Sie mit dem nötigen Wissen rund um Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 genau richtig. Lernen Sie die zahlreichen Features des DVD-Video-Standards perfekt für Ihre DVD-Produktionen in Szene zu setzen. Neue Überblendungen für Diashows, die effiziente Baumansicht für Ihr Projekt oder die Kombination von Markern und dazugehörigen Actions sind nur einige der Powerfunktionen, die Ihnen Ihr Trainer Sven Brencher live zeigt. Er führt Sie sicher durch den Prozess des DVD-Authorings und Sie entdecken, wie schnell und einfach Videomaterial, Titel und Animationen kombiniert werden. Mit den vorhandenen Multiple-Choice-Tests kontrollieren Sie schließlich ihren eigenen Lernerfolg.

Einsteiger wie Fortgeschrittene im Bereich der Medientechnik erlernen schnell und effizient die neuen Funktionen von Adobe Encore DVD 2.0. Durch die intensive Beschäftigung mit den Programmfeatures und mit einem kompletten DVD-Projekt bekommt man fast im "Vorbeigehen" spezifisches Fachvokabular vermittelt und beschäftigt sich sowohl mit den Möglichkeiten als auch mit den (leider ebenso existenten) Grenzen des DVD-Video-Standards. Erklärtes Ziel ist es, zum einen den kompletten Workflow des DVD-Authorings zu beherrschen, und zum anderen mit dem klar definierten Set an Features kreative Projekte umsetzen zu können.

Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 im Kontext

DVD-Authoring ist ein komplexer Prozess, bei dem sowohl künstlerische Vorstellungen als auch funktionelle Designs und effiziente Bedienbarkeit des Endproduktes im Vordergrund steht. Die Lösung aus dem Hause Adobe versucht den Medienproduzenten so gut als möglich technisch zu unterstützen, nicht ohne dabei der Kreativität freien Raum zu lassen. Der Autor dieses Videotrainings setzt genau hier an - in nachvollziehbaren Einheiten bekommen Sie Schritt für Schritt jene Fertigkeiten vermittelt, mit denen Sie später selbst spielend umgehen können - im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes! Denn erst die subtile Verknüpfung einer gut durchachten und logisch aufgebauten Benutzerführung mit gestalterischen Ideen lassen eine Video-DVD einzigartig werden.

Neue Funktionen

Zu den wichtigsten Neuerungen von Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 zählt die Adobe Bridge - eine Anwendung, die als Mediendatenbank den perfekten Überblick über Bilder, Videos, Illustrationen, Audioclips und vieles mehr gewährt und sich einwandfrei mit allen anderen aktuellen Adobe-Produkten versteht. Des weiteren wurde aus Gründen der effizienteren Nutzung von DVD-Medien die Funktion hinzugefügt, Videoclips durch Playlisten mehrfach zu verwenden und müssen so nicht doppelt abgelegt werden. Im Rahmen des Adobe Production Studio wurde natürlich auch die Oberfläche entsprechend der Bedienerfreundlichkeit angepasst. Und auch Automatisierungen, wie beispielweise die Erstellung von Menübildern aus dem Standort von Kapitelmarken, kommen in dieser Version nicht zu kurz.

Hydroboration and Organic Synthesis: 9-Borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane (9-BBN) by: Ranjit S. Dhillon
Publisher: Springer | 18 May 2007 | ISBN: 3540490752 | Pages: 586 | PDF | 21 MB
9-Borabicyclo [3.3.1]nonane, a commercially available reagent, is the most versatile hydroborating reagent to synthesize organoboranes (B-R-9-BBN). The reagent exhibits remarkable regio-, chemo-, and stereoselectivity during hydroboration reactions. The organoboranes can be converted to C-H, C-O, C-N, C-S, C-halogen, C-metal and above all C-C bonds. In addition, the suitable substituted / unsaturated R of B-R-9-BBN can be utilized to produce dienes, enynes, allenes etc. with defined stereochemistry. 9-BBN’s derivatives have been elegantly used for the asymmetric reduction of ketone moiety. Diels-Alder and Suzuki reactions have expanded the utility of 9-BBN for the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds required for industry. Consequently, this vast field in the form of a book will be helpful to synthetic organic chemists for easy access to literature, required for chemical transformations.

Paul Malone, John Baldwin "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Acting"
Alpha | 2001 | ISBN: 0028641531 | 399 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

Based on other reviews I purchased a used copy, and feel it is an excellent introduction for parents, students, and more serious-minded "civillians" like me. It's important to rate a book by what it intends to do; this does not intend to speak to an experienced acting student looking for a tome of advanced rehearsal drills,or a wanna-be Semi-Pro who already knows many basic ins-and-outs of getting started, or perhaps has a little bit of performing under their belt and is indusry savvy. This is a book for folks staring 100% "cold." You work during the day, or you're in high school and have never done a single act of public speaking or performing, but you've got "it," meaning the desire to perform and embrace the arts in some way that fits into your obligations as a Spouse, Parent, Boss, Co-Worker, or Student.
This not the book for passionate theater lovers who already know exactly how to put together a press kit or have nice headshots. It's for those who've never heard of a head-shot and assume it's the bullet that killed Kennedy.

The reason I bought the book is two-fold. I made a decent chunk of income as a Tavern Singer for 10 years, till 9/11 and the economy killed my day job leaving me with a wife, new baby and no health benefits. I had to lay down the Arts as a money maker. Now, my child's a little older, things are more stable and I want to start getting back into performing but wanted the perspective of a true working actor who made a living at it and was excellent on stage. You see. that's the second reason I bought this book: I saw Paul Baldwin whhen I was @ 13. He was AMAZING. I never had a conversation with the man, never met him or shook hands, but when it comes to acting heroes, he's mine. In the book he mentions his many times playing Cervantes/Quixote in Man of La Mancha, specifically one time which was such a runaway hit, the Thearter by the Sea in Matunick, R.I. cancelled the remainder of the 1979 season to do a second run of the show. He was riveting. I can't say I'm a musical fan per se, but I don't dislike it either. This show blew the audience away. I saw Kiley as well in 1983 in Boston, and while Kiley and Bladwin were equally powerful, on the whole, the overall production/cast was stronger in R.I.!
Sadly, Ive been informed recently that Paul Baldwin passed away just a few years ago, shortly after this book was published. I hope the information is incorrect. If its true, then America lost a great un-sung working actor who obviously carried himself humbly, like the great Kiley before him.
If you're a total newbie, but serious about getting some great introductory info, I'd say the book's well worth it. If you're already in pursuit of that goal, buy a used copy for an enjoyable read by a great actor and, as he recommends, pursue voice and acting lessons one on one with teachers to develop your talent. The only addition I'd recommend for future printings would indeed be a small chapter which includes some typical lessons in body movement, voice excercises (vocalizes), some soliliquies, 2 person scenes, etc. It would seem to me that it would improve the books potential audience.
Should Mr. Malone, or someone who knew Paul Baldwin well happen to read this minor tome in criticism, I would love to hear from you and ask a question or two

Paleoradiology is the use of X-rays and advanced medical imaging modalities in the evaluation of ancient human and animal skeletons as well as biological materials from archaeological sites. Paleoradiological studies have been performed on mummies, skeletal remains and fossils to determine their sex and age at death. Diagnostic paleoradiology is the use of X-ray studies to detect ancient diseases. The broad range of themes and imaging techniques in this volume reflects four decades of research undertaken by Don Brothwell in the fields of anthropology, human paleopathology, and zooarchaeology, combined with two decades of skeletal radiology experience during which Rethy Chhem read over 150,000 skeletal X-ray and CT studies.

Petr Karlovsky,"Secondary Metabolites in Soil Ecology"
Springer | 2008-01-08 | ISBN-3540745424 | 294 Pages | PDF | 1.9MB
"Secondary Metabolites in Soil Ecology" focus on the role of bacterial, fungal and plant secondary metabolites in soil ecosystems. Our understanding of the biological function of secondary metabolites is surprisingly limited, considering our knowledge of their structural diversity and pharmaceutically relevant activities. The volume reviews functional aspects of secondary metabolite production, with a focus on interactions among soil organisms.

Topics such as truffle metabolites and burnt phenomenon, ecology of mycotoxins in soil, root exudates, and chemical interactions between Streptomyces and mycorrhiza fungi are treated. Further aspects are the role of microbial metabolites as quorum sensing signals, their role in protecting plants against pathogens and the effect of volatiles on soil invertebrates. Chapters describing techniques for the detection of antibiotics in soil and the application of metabolomics to rhizosphere research, which has advanced rapidly in recent years, complement the book.

Agile Web Development with Rails, 2nd Edition (Pragmatic Programmers)
Publisher: Pragmatic Bookshelf | ISBN: 0977616630 | edition 2006 | PDF | 719 pages | 6,5 mb
The definitive, Jolt-award winning guide to learning and using Rails is now in its Second Edition. Rails is a new approach to web-based application development that enables developers to create full-featured, sophisticated web-based applications using less code and less effort. Now programmers can get the job done right and still leave work on time.
NEW IN THE SECOND EDITION: The book has been updated to take advantage of all the new Rails 1.2 features. The sample application uses migrations, Ajax, features a REST interface, and illustrates new Rails features. There are new chapters on migrations, active support, active record, and action controller (including the new resources-based routing). The Web 2.0 and Deployment chapters have been completely rewritten to reflect the latest thinking. Now you can learn which environments are best for your style application, and see how Capistrano makes managing your site simple. All the remaining chapters have been extensively updated. Finally, hundreds of comments from readers of the first edition have been incorporated, making this book simply the best available.

Rails is a full-stack, open source web framework that enables you to create full-featured, sophisticated web-based applications with a twist...you can create a full Rails application using less code than the setup XML you'd need just to configure some other frameworks.
With this book, you'll learn how to use Rails Active Record to connect business objects and database tables. No more painful object-relational mapping. Just create your business objects and let Rails do the rest. You'll learn how to use the Action Pack framework to route incoming requests and render pages using easy-to-write templates and components. See how to exploit the Rails service frameworks to send emails, talk to web services, and interact dynamically with JavaScript applications running in the browser (the "Ajax" architecture).
You'll see how easy it is to deploy Rails. You'll be writing applications that work with your favorite database (MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, and more) in no time at all.

The ability of parallel computing to process large data sets and handle time-consuming operations has resulted in unprecedented advances in biological and scientific computing, modeling, and simulations. Exploring these recent developments, the Handbook of Parallel Computing:

Models, Algorithms, and Applications provides comprehensive coverage on all aspects of this field. The first section of the book describes parallel models. It covers evolving computational systems, the decomposable bulk synchronous model, parallel random access machine-on-chip architecture, the parallel disks model, mobile agents, fault-tolerant computing, hierarchical performance modeling, the partitioned optical passive star network, and the reconfigurable mesh model. The subsequent section on parallel algorithms examines networks of workstations, grid and packet scheduling, the derandomization technique, isosurface extraction and rendering, suffix trees, and mobile computing algorithmics. The final part of the text highlights an array of problems and offers ways to combat these challenges. This volume provides an up-to-date assessment of the models and algorithms involved in applying parallel computing to a variety of fields, from computational biology to wireless networking.

David Taras, Maria Bakardjieva, Frits Pannekoek, "How Canadians Communicate II: Media, Globalization, and Identity"
University of Calgary Press | 2007 | ISBN: 1552382249 | 328 pages | PDF | 1,9 MB
In the first volume of "How Canadians Communicate" the editors examined and assessed the health of Canada's cultural industries circa 2003. In this second volume, they not only undertake a new examination of Canada's current media health, but also turn their attention to analysing the impact of the startling pace of global media proliferation on our country's media institutions.

The revolutionary changes underway in mass media technology, from blogs to peer-to-peer networks and the ubiquitous cell-phone, have all imposed structural modifications to global communication systems, inexorably altering the fundamental ways in which Canadians communicate. The editors have carefully chosen essays that address the central issues of today's global media environment from a uniquely Canadian perspective.Grouped under the headings 'The Debate over Policy', 'The Quest for Identity', and 'The Struggle for Control', the topics ranging from media concentration to foreign ownership and the challenge of mass communication in an increasingly multicultural community, underscoring the way in which our media has operated in the past and how it must now adapt to a new media landscape. There is little doubt that Canadian media and cultural institutions have been buffeted by the sheer magnitude of new communication technologies. But with change comes opportunity, and the ability to re-evaluate current paradigms and look for better and more effective ways of adapting to new circumstances. "How Canadians Communicate II" will illuminate the present media climate, and in doing so, suggest new and challenging paths forward that will utilise the vast array of media technology to strengthen a uniquely Canadian cultural identity.

Programming the Perl DBI
Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. | 2000-02-04 | ISBN: 1565926994 | PDF | 364 pages | 1.27 MB
Product Description:

One of the greatest strengths of the Perl programming language is its ability to manipulate large amounts of data. Database programming is therefore a natural fit for Perl, not only for business applications but also for CGI-based web and intranet applications.

The primary interface for database programming in Perl is DBI. DBI is a database-independent package that provides a consistent set of routines regardless of what database product you use--Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Informix, you name it. The design of DBI is to separate the actual database drivers (DBDs) from the programmer's API, so any DBI program can work with any database, or even with multiple databases by different vendors simultaneously.

"Programming the Perl DBI" is coauthored by Alligator Descartes, one of the most active members of the DBI community, and by Tim Bunce, the inventor of DBI. For the uninitiated, the book explains the architecture of DBI and shows you how to write DBI-based programs. For the experienced DBI dabbler, this book reveals DBI's nuances and the peculiarities of each individual DBD.

The book includes:

An introduction to DBI and its design

How to construct queries and bind parameters

Working with database, driver, and statement handles

Debugging techniques

Coverage of each existing DBD

A complete reference to DBI

This is the definitive book for database programming in Perl.

By Jesse Liberty (Author), Alex Horovitz (Author) .NET 3.5 will help you create better Windows applications, build Web Services that are more powerful, implement new Workflow projects and dramatically enhance the user's experience. But it does so with what appears to be a collection of disparate technologies. In Programming .NET 3.5, bestselling author Jesse Liberty and industry expert Alex Horovitz uncover the common threads that unite the .NET 3.5 technologies, so you can benefit from the best practices and architectural patterns baked into this newest generation of Microsoft frameworks. While single-topic .NET 3.5 books delve into Windows Presentation Foundation and the other frameworks in greater detail, Programming .NET 3.5 offers a "Grand Tour" of the release that describes how the four principal technologies can be used together, with Ajax, to build modern n-tier and service-oriented applications. Developers have struggled to implement these patterns with previous versions of the .NET Framework, but this hands-on guide uses real-world examples and fully annotated source code to demonstrate how .NET 3.5 can make it easy.

Publisher: Springer 2007 | 690 Pages | ISBN: 3540735410 | PDF+DjVu (OCR) | 10 MB
From the reviews of the first edition:

"It is certainly no exaggeration to say that … A Singular Introduction to Commutative Algebra aims to lead a further stage in the computational revolution in commutative algebra … . Among the great strengths and most distinctive features … is a new, completely unified treatment of the global and local theories. … making it one of the most flexible and most efficient systems of its type....another strength of Greuel and Pfister's book is its breadth of coverage of theoretical topics in the portions of commutative algebra closest to algebraic geometry, with algorithmic treatments of almost every topic....Greuel and Pfister have written a distinctive and highly useful book that should be in the library of every commutative algebraist and algebraic geometer, expert and novice alike."

J.B. Little, MAA, March 2004

The second edition is substantially enlarged by a chapter on Groebner bases in non-commtative rings, a chapter on characteristic and triangular sets with applications to primary decomposition and polynomial solving and an appendix on polynomial factorization including factorization over algebraic field extensions and absolute factorization, in the uni- and multivariate case.

This book can be understood as a model for teaching commutative algebra, taking into account modern developments such as algorithmic and computational aspects. Softcover.

Gerard Cliquet "Geomarketing: Methods and Strategies in Spatial Marketing"

This title describes the state of the art in all areas of spatial marketing, discussing the various constituents which make up the geography of markets.

Demand varies according to location and can be measured according to revenue, the number of households, spending patterns and lifestyles. Supply is also dependent on position, because prices, services, products and available shops rely on location, while the difference between supply and demand is the rationale for the role of the trader.

The book also covers the way geographic techniques help to solve marketing problems and contains chapters written by contributors with extensive experience in this field; given that it is crucial for companies to direct their marketing correctly at their target audience, this will be indispensable reading for those involved in this area.

Rebecca Fannin, "Silicon Dragon: How China Is Winning the Tech Race"
McGraw-Hill | 2008-01-18 | ISBN: 0071494472 | 300 pages | PDF | 2,1 MB
If you want to discover the Next Big Thing in technology… ENTER THE DRAGON.

You already know that China is the most populated nation on the planet. You already know about the rapid growth of its Internet and the recent development of its technologies. But did you realize that China has…

The world's largest number of mobile phone users (500 million)

Three times as many engineering students as the United States?

A dozen more billion-dollar tech firms than the United States?

The fastest growing venture capital market in the world?

It's time to face the facts: China is catching up to the United States as a global leader of technology--and, within a few years, may surpass every nation in the world. By modeling their new techno-based companies on successful American ones like Google and Yahoo, a new breed of entrepreneur is leading China through a second Industrial Revolution.

Financial journalist Rebecca A. Fannin traveled from Shanghai to Beijing and beyond to speak face-to-face with China’s hottest up-and-comers. For some of these young entrepreneurs, it’s their first interview with the Western press--and their first chance to introduce their companies before the stocks hit Nasdaq.

You'll meet smart and savvy self-starters like Robin Li, who made his company Baidu in the image of Google. You'll meet inventors and innovators like Liu Yingkui, who developed software for selling goods over cell phones, not PCs. You'll also meet the American venture capitalists who are searching for deals every day in every corner of China.

Whether you're an investor, entrepreneur, techno whiz, or dot-com mogul, you can make peace with the dragon--and profits, too.

L. Jean Camp "Economics of Identity Theft: Avoidance, Causes and Possible Cures"
Springer | 2007-08-23 | ISBN: 0387345892 | 181 pages | PDF | 1,9 MB

Today, identity is more than anything, economic. The technology used to create, utilize and protect identities is increasingly ill-matched to the economics and uses of identities. Identity theft is the misuse of private authenticating information to steal money. Protecting identity requires privacy. Proving identity requires exposing information. Together, these points illustrate that the near-term search for cheap identity management is a formula for long-term fraud resulting in ever-increasing identity theft.

The Economics of Identity Theft: Avoidance, Causes and Possible Cures, a professional book, discusses privacy as multi-dimensional, and then pulls forward the economics of privacy in the first few chapters. This book also includes identity-based signatures, spyware, and the placement of biometric security in an economically broken system, which results in a broken biometric system. The final chapters include systematic problems with practical individual strategies for preventing identity theft for any reader of any economic status. In conclusion, four startling previews of the future are written as scenarios.

Economics and Finance of Risk and of the Future (The Wiley Finance Series)
Publisher: Wiley | ISBN: 0470015772 | edition 2006 | PDF | 242 pages | 1,1 mb
This book uses real-world examples to show how individual and collective risks can be blended and treated in a reliable decision-making framework that draws its inspiration from decision theory and market based mechanisms. It then goes into deeper detail by looking at the implications of having to face risks (a) where some kind of probabilistic description is available and (b) where none is available, using the example of insurable risks vs non-insurable risks. Again, by using real-world examples it shows how decision-makers can cope with such situations by a proper understanding and use of modern financial techniques.

Markt und Technik | 2005 | ISBN: 3827269849 | 490 pages | PDF | 4,45 MB
Jetzt lerne ich JavaScript ist ein Einsteigerbuch der neueren Generation: Editieren und Programmierung werden in einem Zug gelehrt. Vom Leser wird dabei keinerlei Vorwissen verlangt - nach der Dosis der über 500 Seiten, von denen keine verzichtbar ist, wird dieser sich aber wahrscheinlich kaum noch wiedererkennen: Dieses Wissens-Paket macht auch aus dem unbedarftesten Online-User einen gewandten Meister der Source Codes. Jetzt lerne ich JavaScript ist kein "Basteln Sie sich schnell Ihre eigene Homepage"-Buch, sondern eine Anleitung zum tieferen Hineintauchen. Im weiteren Sinne kann es sogar auch als gute Hinführung zur objektorientierten Programmierung dienen. JavaScript eignet sich für die ersten Schritte dorthin bekanntlich gar nicht schlecht, und den Einstieg gestaltet Ralph Steyer auf eine sehr angenehme Weise mit guten Erklärungen.

Karris, Steven T, "Networks - Design and Management, Second Edition"
Orchard Publications | ISBN: 1934404160 | 01-06-2009 | 522 pages | PDF | 5.7MB
Networks are growing in size and complexity and this trend has created a rapid increase for networking engineers to provide practical and efficient solutions. Networking needs vary from one network to another; there is no such thing as "one size fits all." Also, a properly designed network must allow for expansion. The management of a small company may feel that this advanced technology is of no use to them since their monetary budget is limited. However, with proper planning, small companies can start with an affordable and versatile network and later expand on the next level of affordability. It is the scope of this text to provide a thorough treatment on networking and address the concerns cited above. On the title of this book "design" implies the purchasing and proper installation of the essential hardware and software that one must collect to assemble an effective computer network. Basically, it means the building of a network. By "management" we mean the duties and responsibilities of the network administrator. This book is primarily intended for those student and working professionals who have the desire to become network administrators. However, all practicing engineers will find it to be a very valuable source of information on this fascinating subject.

Branding Texas: Performing Culture in the Lone Star State By Leigh Clemons
Publisher: University of Texas Press 2008 | 202 Pages | ISBN: 0292718071 | PDF | 5.5 MB
Ask anyone to name an archetypal Texan, and you're likely to get a larger-than-life character from film or television (say John Wayne's Davy Crockett or J. R. Ewing of TV's Dallas) or a politician with that certain swagger (think LBJ or George W. Bush). That all of these figures are white and male and bursting with self-confidence is no accident, asserts Leigh Clemons. In this thoughtful study of what makes a "Texan," she reveals how Texan identity grew out of the history—and, even more, the myth—of the heroic deeds performed by Anglo men during the Texas Revolution and the years of the Republic and how this identity is constructed and maintained by theatre and other representational practices.

Clemons looks at a wide range of venues in which "Texanness" is performed, including historic sites such as the Alamo, the battlefield at Goliad, and the San Jacinto Monument; museums such as the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum; seasonal outdoor dramas such as Texas! at Palo Duro Canyon; films such as John Wayne's The Alamo and the IMAX's Alamo: The Price of Freedom; plays and TV shows such as the Tuna trilogy, Dallas, and King of the Hill; and the Cavalcade of Texas performance at the 1936 Texas Centennial. She persuasively demonstrates that these performances have created a Texan identity that has become a brand, a commodity that can be sold to the public and even manipulated for political purposes.

N. Mallikarjuna Rao., “Medical Biochemistry”
New Age International | 2006 | ISBN: 8122418236 | 837 pages | PDF | 6 MB
PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
I attempted to provide essential information on molecular basis of health and disease
that is mainly related to life of surviving cell(s) in the first edition of the book. However life
cycle of cell(s) includes cell(s) birth and cell(s) death apart from survival. For the last couple
of years these frontier areas are advancing rapidly which is viewed by many as good sign
for development of :

(a) new therapy or therapeutics for cancer
(b) immortalized cells.
The latter fuels growth of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries also. Hence, in
the second edition two chapters—1. Biochemistry of cell cycle (cell birth) 2. Biochemistry of
apoptosis (cell death) are added.
As living organisms evolved from simple unicellular to highly complex multicellular
mammals, several new systems and organs were developed. For example, blood which acts
as vehicle or communication between various locations of body, immune system which
protects body from intruders or foreign organisms.
Parkinsonism, psychosis, depression, Schizophrenia, loss of taste and olfaction are due
to disturbances in nervous, taste and olfactory systems. Various organs present in body
perform several organ specific functions which are essential for life. If functions of these
organs are disturbed, diseases in which may culminate in death. So, in this edition biochemistry
of blood including immune response in Chapter-32; molecular and cellular mechanism of
learning, memory, behaviour, taste and olfactory in biochemical communications Chapter;
tests, procedures that are done in hospital biochemistry laboratory to assess functions of
liver, kidney in Chapter-33 and thyroid in Chapter-29 are detailed.
Depending on disease a particular constituent of blood is either elevated or lowered.
Diagnosis and prognosis of disease usually involves detection and measurement of various
blood constituents in hospital biochemistry laboratory. Therefore advanced techniques like
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), affinity chromatography, and general
techniques like centrifugation and dialysis, instruments from spectrophotometer to auto
analyzer and methods used for detection and quantitation of blood constituents like
carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, enzymes, electrolytes etc., in health and disease
are detailed in Chapter-34.
Humans and other mammals are able to remove waste products, toxins, foreign
compounds from blood and organs in the form of urine. In disease, composition of urine
varies from that of healthy state. So, detection, quantitation of various constituents of urine
is carried out in hospital biochemistry laboratory to confirm diagnosis of diseases. In Chapter
34, methods for detection and estimation of urine constituent under normal and diseased
conditions are also detailed.
Most striking feature in this edition of the book is inclusion of biochemical aspects of
diseases or disease causing organisms common to tropical countries like malaria, tuberculosis,
peptic ulcer or gastritis, pneumonia, leishmaniasis, giardiasis, trypanosomiasis etc. Since
most of the organisms are developing resistance to the existing drugs, there is need for
development of new drugs which requires thorough biochemical knowledge of these diseases
as well as disease causing organisms. Apart from adding new chapters, all existing chapters
have been updated by adding new subject matter. References of each chapter updated by
including reviews, books, research articles etc. Further, number of unsolved problems have
been increased in most of the chapters.
I hope this edition will be well received by teachers and students of various medical,
dental, pharmacy, biotechnology, physiotherapy, medical laboratory technology, biomedical
engineering, life sciences under graduate and post graduate courses, Suggestions or comments
from teachers and students are welcome. I am grateful to Sri. R.K. Gupta, Chairman; Sri
Saumya Gupta, Managing Director of New Age International, New Delhi, for publishing
second edition.

New Age International (P) Ltd | 2006 | ISBN: 8122423167, 8122418465 | 506 pages | PDF | 3,7 MB
PREFACE
Manufacturing and workshop practices have become important in the industrial environment
to produce products for the service of mankind. The knowledge of manufacturing
practices is highly essential for all engineers and technocrats for familiarizing themselves
with modern concepts of manufacturing technologies. The basic need is to provide theoretical
and practical knowledge of manufacturing processes and workshop technology to all the
engineering students. Therefore, an attempt has been made through this book to present
both the theoretical and practical knowledge of these subjects. Considering the general
needs of engineering students in the country and the fact that they hardly get any exposure
to hand tools, equipments, machines and manufacturing setups, a basic course in manufacturing
science remains a core subject for all the branches of engineering. This book covers
most of the syllabus of manufacturing processes/technology,

workshop technology and workshop
practices for engineering diploma and degree classes prescribed by different universities
and state technical boards. While preparing the manuscript of this book, the examination
requirements of the engineering students have also been kept in mind. The book is
written in very simple language so that even an average student can easily grasp the subject
matter. Some comparisons have been given in tabular form and the stress has been given
on figures for better understanding of tools, equipments, machines and manufacturing setups
used in various manufacturing shops. The contents include exposure to bench work and
fitting, smithy and forging, sheet metal work, wood and wood working, casting, welding and
machine shop practices. At the end of each chapter, a number of questions have been
provided for testing the student’s understanding about the concept of the subject. The whole
text has been organized in twenty six chapters.
The first chapter presents the brief introduction of the subject with modern concepts
of manufacturing technology needed for the competitive industrial environment. Chapter 2
provides the necessary details of plant and shop layouts. General industrial safety measures
to be followed in various manufacturing shops are described in detail in chapter 3.
Chapters 4–8 provide necessary details regarding fundamentals of ferrous materials,
non-ferrous materials, melting furnaces, properties and testing of engineering materials and
heat treatment of metals and alloys.
Chapters 9–13 describe various tools, equipments and processes used in various shops
such as carpentry, pattern making, mold and core making, foundry shop. Special casting
methods and casting defects are also explained at length.
Chapters 14–16 provide basic knowledge of mechanical working of metals. Fundamental
concepts related to forging work and other mechanical working processes (hot and cold
working) have been discussed at length with neat sketches.
Chapter 17 provides necessary details of various welding and allied joining processes
such as gas welding, arc welding, resistance welding, solid state welding, thermochemical
welding, brazing and soldering.
Chapters 18–19 describe sheet metal and fitting work in detail. Various kinds of hand
tools and equipments used in sheet metal and fitting shops have been described using neat
sketches.
Chapters 20–24 provide construction and operational details of various machine tools
namely lathe, drilling machine, shaper, planer, slotter, and milling machine with the help
of neat diagrams.
Chapter 25 deals with technique of manufacturing of products with powder metallurgy.
The last chapter of the book discusses the basic concepts of quality control and inspection
techniques used in manufacturing industries.
The author strongly believes that the book would serve not only as a text book for the
students of engineering curriculum but would also provide reference material to engineers
working in manufacturing industries.
Although every care has been taken to check misprints and mistakes, yet it is difficult
to claim perfection. Any errors, omissions and suggestions for improvement of this volume
will be thankfully acknowledged and included in the next edition.

based planning may be sustainable and keep the area blooming for the
times to come.

This small book is the out come of the problems faced by the authors
during their working in the field in various capacities, as well as difficulty
faced by farmers. Department find it in dilemma, when farmer brought
their genuine demand for commanding of their lands by canal system.
Authors feel perturbed, why farmers and nation should suffer for the
lapses in planning in canal network, OFD works by the department. In
IGNP some six lacs ha area which could have been covered by flow
canals has been left out. This is attributed to non-existence of any survey,
planning policy, Execution of canal system, and on farm development
(OFD) works uncoordinated.
This has prompted the authors to bring out some book on Survey and
Planning, Canal network and OFD works. The aim is not fault finding but
to stress that Survey and Planning are the keys for the optimum use of
national resources and sustainable irrigation. Hitherto Survey and Planning
is totally neglected.
Authors are greatly indebted for inspiration received from our fellow
Engineers in IGNP, CAD & WAPCOS.
The authors greatfully acknowledge the help taken from many standard
works on irrigation, studies and other national and international publications.
We wish to express our sincere thanks to M/s New Age International
(P) LTD Publishers particularly Saumya Gupta for having expressed his
confidence in publishing this book.
The authors would feel gratified to receive comments from our fellow
practicing engineers for whom this book is meant as a reference book.

PREFACE
A Chemical Engineer needs to know not only the inside changes in a Production
Process viz. Chemical, Physical, Thermochemical, Thermodynamics and Kinetics, but
also he has to know the basics of other engineering disciplines as well as current
developments. During my long service period in Production, Process Design and Projects,
I found most of these information are available at different sources and is not always
possible to acquire this information always. 'Ib meet these gaps, I have given as much
information as possible in Volume I and Volume II of this book on various processes, data
tables, some unit operations etc. usually required by Professional Chemical Engineers
and Chemical Engg. students. In addition, a chapter on Glossary of Terms has a]so been
provided for refreshing the essential information un chemistry and other topics.

New Age International (P) Ltd | 2007 | ISBN: 8122423469, 8122420338 | 267 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB
Preface
The developing countries like India are facing the various types of problems about materials
and other resources, which are scarce or imported from other countries. The various Industries,
which will have to compete with Internationally, established manufacturing organizations to
manage their production and materials they are marketing and procuring after liberalization
to sell their products at the competitive rates have to purchase, store and produce their
products very economically. After liberalization Industries in our country have realized the
importance of materials and financial management to manage and utilize all their resources
in the best possible way. The revolutionary changes have been taking place in Industries for
various activities to optimize the cost of materials and production operation.

The Industries
in our country and globally are managing their resources and all types of materials by the
new techniques, methods and use of computers to utilize them most economically considering
various costs involved in purchasing, procuring, storing and utilizing various types of materials
and products. The materials and financial management is the subject which deals with the
study of techniques of appropriate materials supply and materials flow procedures to control
the production system. It helps in materials management and control of inventories. The
financial management shows how to economize the cost of purchase of materials and inventory
control. It is therefore necessary to introduce and teach our students studying for graduation
and post graduation in engineering, management, finance, economics and science the subject
of ‘Materials and Financial Management’. This subject is the part of syllabus of B.E., B.Tech.,
AMIE, M.B.A. M.Tech., M.E., M.C.A., and other management and engineering courses,
practitioner engineers working in various organizations and competitive examinations. The
various Universities in India and other countries have prescribed this subject in various
Engineering and Management Institutions in their course of study.
I have attempted to introduce and cover the various topics of materials and financial
management in this book. I have also emphasized the need for materials management in
every Industry and other organizations to manage and economize their costs. The stores
planning and control is very essential in every organization to manage and control the
various types of materials, items and parts required to manufacture and market their outputs
to develop and meet the demands of their customers and market. The materials management,
inventory control, materials purchasing and supply chain management, stores control,
standardization, simplification, classification, coding of materials and forecasting are the part
of materials management department. Break even analysis, inventory planning and materials
requirements planning, manufacturing resources planning, cost control, value engineering
help in financial management of the organization. M.R.P.- I and M.R.P.- II, Just in time,
materials handling, automatic storage and retrieval system, CAD/CAM, Flexible manufacturing
system, computer integrated manufacturing and value engineering are the recent fields in
industrial engineering which have practical applications in all the manufacturing and other
types of organizations. The use of computers has become essential in materials management.
MRP is the computerized system to control manufacturing activities using database management
system. Vast amount of clerical work, employees activities and other work involved in the
organization in continuously changing conditions to receive customers orders, delays in
receiving materials supplies, machines breakdowns and timely delivery of production for sales
are the information the management must receive for appropriate decisions in time. MRP,
ERP and MIS have made it possible.

Quantum Information: An Introduction
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 424 | 2006-06-02 | ISBN 3540302654 | PDF | 4 MB
Recently, quantum information theory has been developing through a fusion of results from various research fields. This requires that understanding of basic results on diverse topics, and derived from different disciplinary perspectives, is required for appreciating the overall picture. Intended to merge key topics from both the information-theoretic and quantum- mechanical viewpoints, this graduate-level textbook provides a unified viewpoint of quantum information theory and lucid explanations of those basic results, so that the reader fundamentally grasps advances and challenges. For example, advanced topics in quantum communication such as quantum teleportation, superdense coding, quantum state transmission (quantum error-correction), and quantum encryption especially benefit from this unified approach. Unlike earlier treatments, the text requires knowledge of only linear algebra, probability theory, and quantum mechanics, while it treats the topics of quantum hypothesis testing and the discrimination of quantum states, and quantum channel coding (message transmission) with the minimal amount of math needed to convey their essence. Solving the more than 240 exercises provides readers with practice that not only enriches their knowledge of quantum information theory, but also can equip them with the techniques necessary for pursuing their own research in this field.

C.L. Wadhwa., “High Voltage Engineering”
New Age International | 2007 | ISBN: 8122418597, 812242323X | 312 pages | PDF | 3,7 MB
“High Voltage Engineering” has been written for the undergraduate students in Electrical
Engineering of Indian and foreign Universities as well as the practising electrical
engineers.
The author developed interest in the field of High Voltage Engineering when he was a
student at the Govt. Engineering College, Jabalpur. It used to be thrilling to observe large
metal spheres flashing over, corona phenomenon on a wire placed along the axis of a
cylinder and then recording the corona loss, controlling the wave shapes of impulse voltages
etc.

The author has taught the subject at the Delhi College of Engineering for quite a number
of years and while preparing lecture notes he referred to some of the books and journals
and some literature from the internationally famed manufacturers of High Voltage
equipments e.g. Haefely, Tettex etc. The lecture notes so prepared, thus, have a touch of
both the class room requirements and a practising engineer’s requirements.
In this edition, zeroth chapter on Electric Stress estimation and c ontrol has been added
where in different methods viz. finite difference, finite element, charge simmulation method
and surface charge simulation methods have been discussed per estimation of metric
stresses in complex dielectric media and electrode configuration. a brief view of optimisation
of electrode configuration is also given in this chapter.
Chapter 1 deals with the breakdown of gases, liquids, and solid materials. Even though it
has not been possible to explain the physical phenomenon associated with breakdown of
the materials, with accuracy and precisiveness, an attempt has been made to bring out
some of the theories advocated by researchers in this field in a simple lucid and organised
way.
Chapters 2 and 3 discuss the generation of high d.c. and a.c. voltages and high impulse
voltages and currents. Some of the latest circuits have been discussed and rigorous mathematical
treatment of the circuit has been given to make the subject more interesting and
to make the student understand the subject better.
Measurement of transient voltage and currents and high voltage and current require different
skills and equipment as compared with common a.c. or d.c. voltages we normally
come across. Chapter 4 discusses various techniques and circuits for measurement of such
quantities.
Chapter 5 deals into high voltage testing of electrical equipments like insulators, cables,
transformers, circuit breakers etc.
The measurements using high voltage Schering bridge, transformer ratio arm bridge and
partial discharges yield information regarding the life expectancy and the long term stability
or otherwise of the insulating materials. These techniques have been discussed elaborately
in Chapter 6. These tests are very important both during design and operation of
the equipments.
Electrical transients last for a very short duration but these play a very important role in
the insulation design of power system. Chapter 7 takes a view of various types of transients
in power system and suggests classical and more modern statistical methods of
coordinating the insulation requirements of various equipments of the system and the
devices required for protection of these equipments.
In this edition of the book following articles have been added in chapter 1 of the book :
(i) Breakdown in SF6 gas and Vacuum.
(ii) Insulating materials used in power apparatus.
(iii) Application of gases, liquid and solid insulating materials in different power apparatus.
A suitable number of problems have been solved to help understand the relevant theory.
At the end, a large number of multiple choice questions have been added to help the
reader to test himself. An extensive bibliography will help the reader to locate detailed
information on various topics of his interest.
There are very few High Voltage Laboratories all over the world and the reader may not
have an opportunity to visit such a laboratory. Therefore, a few photoplates have been
added at suitable locations in the book to give a physical feel of various equipments in a
well equipped high voltage laboratory. The author feels that with the inclusion of
photoplates of high voltage equipments the student as well the practising engineers would
be greatly benefited.
I wish to express my sincere thanks to M/s Emile Haefely & Co. Ltd., Switzerland for
permitting inclusion of photoplates in the book which has enhanced the utility of the book.
I also wish my express my gratitude to my wife Usha, daughter Meenu and son Sandeep
for their patience and encouragement during the preparation of the book.
Any constructive suggestion for the improvement of the book will be gratefully acknowledged.

Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts To Code, 2nd Edition by: Jacquie Barker
Publisher: Apress | 20-06-2005 | ISBN: 1590594576 | 1000 pages | 10.6 Mb
Learning to design objects effectively with Java is the goal of Beginning Java Objects, an intensive yet approachable guide to object design using UML and today's hottest programming language. Aimed at those who know a little Java, but don't yet feel comfortable with the object paradigm, this book can bridge the gap and take your knowledge of Java objects to the next level.

The book takes readers through object design from the very beginning at a relaxed pace. While you get all the necessary jargon for really learning the object paradigm (for example, there is full coverage of concepts such as data encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism), the tutorial is apt to reach more readers. Without being doctrinaire about the design process, the author walks you through the steps for "discovering" objects in a business problem (including classes, attributes and operations) and then determining how these objects work together to model real-world problems. The sample class diagrams offer quite a rich level of detail, and a single case study for a student course registration database demonstrates the design principles, including extensive class diagrams.

Elementary Fuzzy Matrix Theory and Fuzzy Models for Social Scientists
Publisher: Automaton | ISBN: 1599730057 | edition 2007 | PDF | 352 pages | 3,3 mb
This book gives the basic notions of fuzzy matrix theory and its applications to simple models. The approach is non-traditional in order to attract many students to use this methodology in their research. The traditional approach of mathematicians has conditioned students of sociology in such a manner that they averse to using mathematical tools. Six simple types of fuzzy models that make use of fuzzy matrices are given. These models are distinct because they are time dependent and can even be used for statistical data. The Fuzzy Cognitive Maps model gives the hidden pattern.

Fuzzy Relational Maps model not only gives the inter-relations between two sets of disjoint attributes. The Bidirectional Associative Memories model analyzes data depending on the time-period while the Fuzzy Associative memories model can give the gradation of importance of each attribute. Finally, the Fuzzy Relational Equation model is capable of giving a solution closer to the predicted solution. All the methods are illustrated through elaborate examples of particular social problems.

Topics and Methods in Condensed Matter Theory: From Basic Quantum Mechanics to the Frontiers of Research
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 443 | 2007-07 | ISBN 3540707263 | PDF | 4 MB
This book provides material for courses in theoretical physics for undergraduate and graduate students specializing in condensed matter, including experimentalists who want a thorough theoretical background; the advanced part should be of interest to research workers too. A good first course in quantum mechanics is assumed. Here a variety of many-body phenomena in condensed matter are discussed, with special attention paid to the understanding of strong correlation effects. This requires a variety of theoretical tools (diagram expansions, groups, recursion methods and more). The text, which arose naturally from teaching, is eminently readable and the mathematical treatments are explained in enough detail to be followed easily. Proofs of all the relevant theorems are provided, but the main emphasis is always on the physical meaning or applicability of the results. Many examples are provided for illustration and also serve as worked problems.

Did My Neurons Make Me Do It?: Philosophical and Neurobiological Perspectives on Moral Responsibility and Free Will
By Nancey Murphy, Warren S. Brown
Publisher Oxford University Press, USA | ISBN: 0199215391 | edition 2007 | PDF | 236 pages | 1,27 mb
If humans are purely physical, and if it is the brain that does the work formerly assigned to the mind or soul, then how can it fail to be the case that all of our thoughts and actions are determined by the laws of neurobiology? If this is the case, then free will, moral responsibility, and, indeed, reason itself would appear to be in jeopardy. Nancey Murphy and Warren S. Brown here defend a non-reductive version of physicalism whereby humans are (sometimes) the authors of their own thoughts and actions. Did My Neurons Make Me Do It? brings together insights from both philosophy and the cognitive neurosciences to defeat neurobiological reductionism. One resource is a 'post-Cartesian' account of mind as essentially embodied and constituted by action-feedback-evaluation-action loops in the environment, and 'scaffolded' by cultural resources.

Another is a non-mysterious account of downward (mental) causation explained in terms of a complex, higher-order system exercising constraints on lower-level causal processes. These resources are intrinsically related: the embeddedness of brain events in action-feedback loops is the key to their mentality, and those broader systems have causal effects on the brain itself. With these resources Murphy and Brown take on two problems in philosophy of mind: a response to the charges that physicalists cannot account for the meaningfulness of language nor the causal efficacy of the mental qua mental. Solutions to these problems are a prerequisite to addressing the central problem of the book: how can biological organisms be free and morally responsible? The authors argue that the free-will problem is badly framed if it is put in terms of neurobiological determinism; the real issue is neurobiological reductionism. If it is indeed possible to make sense of the notion of downward causation, then the relevant question is whether humans exert downward causation over some of their own parts and processes. If all organisms do this to some extent, what needs to be added to this animalian flexibility to constitute free and responsible action? The keys are sophisticated language and hierarchically ordered cognitive processes allowing (mature) humans to evaluate their own actions, motives, goals, and rational and moral principles.

Clayton T. Crowe, Donald F. Elger, John A. Roberson, Barbara C. Williams, “Engineering Fluid Mechanics”
Wiley | 2008 | ISBN: 0470259779 | 552 pages | PDF | 45,1 MB
Connecting the math and theory of fluid mechanics to practical applications can be a difficult process. Engineering Fluid Mechanics builds on the success of previous editions to help engineers learn how to apply concepts by keeping them engaged and active throughout the book. Simple and effective examples show how key equations are utilized in practice, and step-by-step descriptions provide details into the processes that engineers follow. Each chapter also outlines the three most important things they will be able to accomplish once the concepts are learned. With its physical/visual approach, engineers will quickly gain an intuitive understanding of the principles.

Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, 2nd Edition
Publisher: O'Reilly Media | ISBN: 1600330150 | edition 2002 | PDF | 500 pages | 5,14 mb
Today's web sites have moved far beyond "brochureware." They are larger and more complex, have great strategic value to their sponsors, and their users are busier and less forgiving. Designers, information architects, and web site managers are required to juggle vast amounts of information, frequent changes, new technologies, and sometimes even multiple objectives, making some web sites look like a fast-growing but poorly planned city-roads everywhere, but impossible to navigate. Well-planned information

architecture has never been as essential as it is now.

"Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, 2nd Edition, shows you how to blend aesthetics and mechanics for distinctive, cohesive web sites that work. Most books on web development concentrate on either the graphics or the technical issues of a site. This book focuses on the framework that holds the two together.

This edition contains more than 75% new material. You'll find updated chapters on organization, labeling, navigation, and searching; and a new chapter on thesauri, controlled vocabularies and metadata will help you understand the interconnectedness of these systems. The authors have expanded the methodology chapters to include a more interdisciplinary collection of tools and techniques. They've also complemented the top-down strategies of the first edition with bottom-up approaches that enable distributed, emergent solutions.

A whole new section addresses the opportunities and challenges of practicing information architecture, while another section discusses how that work impacts and is influenced by the broader organizational context. New case studies provide models for creating enterprise intranetportals and online communities. Finally, you'll find pointers to a wealth of essential information architecture resources, many of which did not exist a few years ago.

By applying the principles outlined in this completely updated classic, you'll build web sites and intranets that are easier to navigate and appealing to your users, as well as scalable and simple to maintain. "Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, 2nd Edition is a treasure trove of ideas and practical advice for anyone involved in building or maintaining a large, complex web site or intranet.

Michael Hafner (Author), Ruth Breu, “Security Engineering for Service-Oriented Architectures”
Springer | 2008 | ISBN: 3540795383 | 248 pages | PDF | 13,4 MB
While their basic principles and ideas are well understood and cogent from a conceptual perspective, the realization of interorganizational workflows and applications based on service-oriented architectures (SOAs) remains a complex task, and, especially when it comes to security, the implementation is still bound to low-level technical knowledge and hence inherently error-prone.

Hafner and Breu set a different focus. Based on the paradigm of model-driven security, they show how to systematically design and realize security-critical applications for SOAs. In their presentation, they first detail how systems and security engineering go hand in hand and are integrated from the very start in the requirements elicitation and the design phase. In a second step, they apply the principles of model-driven security to SOAs. Model-driven security is an engineering paradigm that aims at the automatic generation of security-critical executable software for target architectures. Based on the general principles of model-driven software development, the automation of security engineering through proven and reliable mechanisms guarantees correctness and facilitates an agile and flexible approach to the implementation and high-level management of security-critical systems.

Their book addresses IT professionals interested in the design and realization of modern security-critical applications. It presents a synthesis of various best practices, standards and technologies from model-driven software development, security engineering, and SOAs. As a reader, you will learn how to design and realize SOA security using the framework of an extensible domain architecture for model-driven security.

Olaf Kirch, “Administration réseau sous Linux”
O'Reilly | 1999 | ISBN: 2841770079 | 336 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB
Niveau : programmeur confirmé Si vous faites fonctionner un ou deux systèmes LAN sous Linux, vous avez probablement uniquement besoin d'une simple connexion entre vos systèmes. Cependant, si vous avez choisi un serveur Linux pour votre réseau et sa connexion à Internet, vous avez dû effectuer un dur labeur lors de l'installation, de la configuration et désormais lors de la maintenance... et vous avez probablement eu recours à une assistance extérieure.

Olaf Kirch a écrit Administration réseau sous Linux, une des parties du projet documentaire de Linux, pour couvrir de tels sujets. Bien que l'on puisse télécharger librement l'ouvrage, la version parue chez O'Reilly possède une meilleure mise en page, des graphiques plus parlants et un excellent index. Ce livre détaille toutes les tâches associées à la création d'une adresse e-mail et à sa maintenance, à la création d'un newsgroup ou d'applications réseaux majeures comme RCP et Rlogin. Dans certains cas, le niveau de précisions du texte paraît insuffisant. Kirch indique alors l'endroit sur Internet où l'on peut se procurer des informations plus détaillées. Cette manière de procéder donne au livre une dimension des plus fonctionnelles, qui en fait un ouvrage facile à utiliser, un support d'une grande souplesse pour quiconque administre un réseau sous Linux.

Cesare Rossi , Flavio Russo , Ferruccio Russo, "Ancient Engineers' Inventions: Precursors of the Present "
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 904812252X | 356 pages | PDF | 19,6 MB
This book describes inventions and designs of ancient engineers that are the precursors of the present. The ages mainly range from 300 B.C. to 1600 A.D. with some exceptions from before and after this period.
As for the very ancient ones, the book describes inventions (documented by archaeological finds mainly from Pompei, Ercolano and Stabia) that generally are very little known and sometimes not known at all. Some inventions are in the military field. This is because (unfortunately) many inventions and technological innovations have been conceived starting from military applications.
The book is divided into five parts.

The first four parts pertain to definite fields and present inventions generally conceived up to the late Roman Empire. Inventions that are representative of the engineering genius of the ancients and that may be considered as milestones, each in their respective field.
The fifth part refers to fields of engineering (such as textiles and automation) in which important innovations were conceived also in more recent centuries.
For each of the inventions presented, even the ancient ones of many centuries past, the authors provide three elements of research and reference:

Written documents (the classics)

Iconic references (coins, bas-reliefs, etc.)

Archaeological findings.

The target groups of the book are students and scholars with interest on History of Mechanical Engineering in Antiquity and Archaelogy.

Alissa Walker UnBeige "A great overview of all of the issues that designers need to know to be in business." Nathan Shedroff Author of Making Meaning and Experience Design "This book is simply a must-have for anyone working in the design profession." Deanna Moore AIGALosAngeles.org "This is a fantastic book, everyone should have a (well-worn) copy. In Shel's typical style, the information is delivered in clear, concise language. Required and highly valuable reading for us all." Rob Bynder Principal, Robert Bynder Design "Packed with information on everything from how to get started to how to stay afloat." STEP Magazine "Shel Perkins spells out every aspect of business for every type of designer in a language that is easy to understand. From career paths to pricing to legal issues, no stone is left unturned. This book is an invaluable asset." Troy Finamore Finamore Design "It is by far one of the best -- if not the best -- graphic design business book I have read."

Andrew H. Paterson, "Genetics and Genomics of Cotton (Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models)"
Springer | 2009-03-31 | ISBN: 038770809X | 496 pages | PDF | 4,4 MB
A few members of the Gossypium (cotton) genus are cultivated for the production of elongated single-celled fibers valued worldwide at about $20 billion annually at the farm gate, and which sustain one of the world’s largest industries (textiles) with an annual worldwide economic impact of about $500 billion. In a number of ways, cotton production and the textile industry are closely tied to petrochemical usage. At a practical level, cotton genomics offers both bio-based carbon sequestration alternatives to petrochemical use, and improved sustainability of crop production.

The Gossypium (cotton) also genus presents novel opportunities to advance our understanding of the natural world and its organic evolution. In particular, the evolution of cultivated cottons from their wild ancestors has involved a fascinating series of events that offer scientists the opportunity to dissect the evolution of a novel organ, the ‘lint fiber’, and also to unravel the consequences of polyploidy, both for the generation of biodiversity and for crop productivity.

In this book, advances of the past decade will be summarized and synthesized to elucidate the current state of knowledge of the structure, function, and evolution of the Gossypium genome, and progress in the application of this knowledge to cotton improvement. This book will address five broad topics. First, as a backdrop for all studies of the genus, it is important to understand the naturally-occurring diversity in the genus, its organization and distribution, and its evolutionary history. Of special importance is the formation of a single polyploid from two (among 8) diploid genome types, the radiation of this polyploid, and the domestication and improvement of two (among 5 extant) polyploid species.

Jeremy Jones - Negotiating Change: The New Politics of the Middle East
I. B. Tauris | 2007 | ISBN: 1845112695 | Pages: 224 | PDF | 1.41 MB
As the US demand for Western-style democracy in the Middle East grows ever more strained, Harvard Middle East expert Jeremy Jones travels through the region evaluating the prospects for change. He engages with diverse political cultures, from traditional assemblies in the Persian Gulf, to sophisticated multiconfessional politics in the Levant. Drawing on 25 years experience in the region, and hundreds of interviews with government officials, opposition leaders, grassroots activists and ordinary people, he finds real momentum towards democratic reform, but concludes that to be successful and durable, it must be pursued through local political cultures, not in spite of them. With a new perspective on a troubled region, his critique of US policy argues that promoting a “one-size-fits-all” democratic model has been misguided, and ultimately counter-productive.

It meets the need for a general text covering the basic concepts and methods as well as recent developments in this area. Reanalysis is common to numerous analysis and design tasks such as nonlinear analysis, structural optimization, damage analysis, and probabilistic analysis.

The book discusses various analysis models, including linear and nonlinear analysis, static and dynamic analysis, and design sensitivity analysis. It demonstrates how various concepts and methods are integrated to achieve effective solution procedures. The approach presented has several advantages in terms of generality, efficiency of the calculations, accuracy of the results and ease of implementation. Efficiency and accuracy considerations are discussed and illustrated. To clarify the presentation, many illustrative examples and numerical results are demonstrated. The text is related to a wide range of applications in such fields as Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Naval Architecture. This should prove useful to students, researchers, analysts and consultants involved in analysis and design of structures. Previous books on structural analysis do not cover most of the material presented in the book.

Science Education Issues and Developments By Calvin L. Petroselli
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers 2008 | 297 Pages | ISBN: 1600219500 | PDF | 1.4 MB
This book presents significant new analyses in the field of science education. This is hardly another field in education which is more important for a country's future than science education. Yet more and more students elect to concentrate on other fields to the exclusion of science for a variety of reasons: the perception of degree of difficulty, the actual degree of difficulty, the lack of perceived prestige and earnings associated with the field, the dearth of good and easy to use texts, and, the lack of society in comprehending the significance of science and creating attractive incentives for those who enter the field.

Renji Tao - Finite Automata and Application to Cryptography
Pages:350 | PDF | Springer, Berlin; Auflage: 1 (13. Februar 2009) | ISBN 3540782567 | 3.3 MB
"Finite Automata and Application to Cryptography" mainly deals with the invertibility theory of finite automata and its application to cryptography. In addition, autonomous finite automata and Latin arrays, which are relative to the canonical form for one-key cryptosystems based on finite automata, are also discussed. Finite automata are regarded as a natural model for ciphers. The Ra Rb transformation method is introduced to deal with the structure problem of such automata; then public key cryptosystems based on finite automata and a canonical form for one-key ciphers implementable by finite automata with bounded-error-propagation and without data expansion are proposed. The book may be used as a reference for computer science and mathematics majors, including seniors and graduate students. Renji Tao is a Professor at the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing.

Bruce Sheppard, Jean Brown, David Dibbon, "School District Leadership Matters"
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 1402097468 | 150 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB
School District Leadership Matters challenges policy makers, administrators, and academics in the field of educational leadership to reassess their traditional approaches to learning, working, and planning. The authors believe that government restructuring, standards-based reforms, and centrally imposed strategic planning have been painfully ineffective. As a consequence, student learning has become increasingly superficial and inauthentic.
This book bridges the traditional divide between the generalizations of social science theory on the one hand and the world of educational practice on the other. It argues that a more promising approach to education reform is through effective school district leadership. Sheppard,

Brown and Dibbon draw on their collective experience both as educational leaders and researchers of leadership, having spent five years researching and working in one school district. Here, they show how a district superintendent can successfully navigate the paradoxes and challenges of facilitating collaborative leadership in a school district with a traditionally hierarchical organizational structure.
As a conclusion to their work, the authors highlight what they call five ‘recognitions’ that deepen readers’ understanding of school district leadership. They illuminate, too, ways that senior level practitioners can apply theory to practice in order to break down the traditional hierarchical bureaucracies that inhibit learning, and create professional learning communities.
School District Leadership Matters urges researchers, graduate students, practitioners, and policymakers to focus on improving authentic learning for all students and argues that the best hope rests with effective school district leadership. This empirically-based yet practical book provides new insights and questions for academic researchers and will inspire policy makers and practitioners to imagine what could be and to work towards it.

Visual Thinking in Mathematics
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | ISBN: 0199285942 | edition 2007 | PDF | 240 pages | 1,1 mb
Visual thinking - visual imagination or perception of diagrams and symbol arrays, and mental operations on them - is omnipresent in mathematics. Is this visual thinking merely a psychological aid, facilitating grasp of what is gathered by other means? Or does it also have epistemological functions, as a means of discovery, understanding, and even proof? By examining the many kinds of visual representation in mathematics and the diverse ways in which they are used, Marcus Giaquinto argues that visual thinking in mathematics is rarely just a superfluous aid; it usually has epistemological value, often as a means of discovery. Drawing from philosophical work on the nature of concepts and from empirical studies of visual perception

, mental imagery, and numerical cognition, Giaquinto explores a major source of our grasp of mathematics, using examples from basic geometry, arithmetic, algebra, and real analysis. He shows how we can discern abstract general truths by means of specific images, how synthetic a priori knowledge is possible, and how visual means can help us grasp abstract structures. Visual Thinking in Mathematics reopens the investigation of earlier thinkers from Plato to Kant into the nature and epistemology of an individual's basic mathematical beliefs and abilities, in the new light shed by the maturing cognitive sciences. Clear and concise throughout, it will appeal to scholars and students of philosophy, mathematics, and psychology, as well as anyone with an interest in mathematical thinking.

Mark Tibbett, David O. Carter "Soil Analysis in Forensic Taphonomy: Chemical and Biological Effects of Buried Human Remains"
CRC | 2008-02-27 | ISBN: 1420069918 | 352 pages | PDF | 12 MB

A burial environment is a complex and dynamic system. It plays host to an abundance of interdependent chemical, physical, and biological processes, which are greatly influenced by the inclusion of a body and its subsequent decay. However, while taphonomy continues to emerge as a valuable forensic tool, until now most of the attention has been on the cadaver rather than the grave itself.

Soil Analysis in Forensic Taphonomy: Chemical and Biological Effects of Buried Human Remains is the first book to concentrate entirely on the telling impact of soil and its components on the postmortem fate of human remains. Examining the basic physicochemical composition of the soil as it relates to forensic science and taphonomy, leading experts from across the world—
• Offer an introduction to the nature, distribution, and origin of soil materials in forensic comparisons
• Discuss the action of biological soil components, including invertebrates, fungi, and bacteria
• Address rates and processes of decomposition and time of death estimates
• Detail methods for characterizing and fingerprinting soils
• Provide extensive information on the decomposition of hair
Edited by Mark Tibbett, a soil microbiologist and David Carter, a forensic scientist, this unique resourceprovides an up-to-date overview of fundamental scientific principles and methods used in forensic taphonomy from a soils-based perspective. It provides an understanding of the processes at work, as well as practical methods and advice for those involved with active investigation.

Springer | ISBN 1402061358 | 2007-05-25 | PDF | 236 pages | 5.61 MB
The NATO Advanced Study Institute "Manipulating Quantum Coherence in Solid State Systems", in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, August 29-September 9, 2005, presented a fundamental introduction to solid-state approaches to achieving quantum computation. This proceedings volume describes the properties of quantum coherence in semiconductor spin-based systems and the behavior of quantum coherence in superconducting systems. Semiconductor spin-based approaches to quantum computation have made tremendous advances in the past several years.

Coherent populations of spins can be oriented, manipulated and detected experimentally. Rapid progress has been made towards performing the same tasks on individual spins (nuclear, ionic, or electronic) with all-electrical means. Superconducting approaches to quantum computation have demonstrated single qubits based on charge eigenstates as well as flux eigenstates. These topics have been presented in a pedagogical fashion by leading researchers in the fields of semiconductor-spin-based quantum coherence and of superconducting quantum coherence.

The latest advances in process monitoring, data analysis, and control systems are increasingly useful for maintaining the safety, flexibility, and environmental compliance of industrial manufacturing operations. Focusing on continuous, multivariate processes, Chemical Process Performance Evaluation introduces statistical methods and modeling techniques for process monitoring, performance evaluation, and fault diagnosis. This book introduces practical multivariate statistical methods and empirical modeling development techniques, such as principal components regression, partial least squares regression, input-output modeling, state-space modeling, and modeling process signals for trend analysis.

Then the authors examine fault diagnosis techniques based on episodes, hidden Markov models, contribution plots, discriminant analysis, and support vector machines. They address controller process evaluation and sensor failure detection, including methods for differentiating between sensor failures and process upset. The book concludes with an extensive discussion on the use of data analysis techniques for the special case of web and sheet processes. Case studies illustrate the implementation of methods presented throughout the book. Emphasizing the balance between practice and theory, Chemical Process Performance Evaluation is an excellent tool for comparing alternative techniques for process monitoring, signal modeling, and process diagnosis. The unique integration of process and controller monitoring and fault diagnosis facilitates the practical implementation of unified and automated monitoring and diagnosis technologies.

Humana Press | 2009-03-13 | ISBN: 160327328X | 418 pages | PDF | 2,7 MB
Post-traumatic stress disorder is a psychiatric illness that can occur in anyone who has experienced a life-threatening or violent event. The trauma can be due to war, terrorism, torture, natural disasters, violence, or rape. In PTSD the brain areas that are likely to be affected are the hippocampus (memory), amygdala (fear association), the prefrontal cortex (cognitive processing), and the ascending reticular activating system (arousal). The chemical of interest is norepinephrine, which is released during a stressful event and is part of the fight-or-flight response meant to mobilize the body to action.The objective of this title is to outline the neurobiology of post-traumatic stress disorder and provide treatment strategies for clinicians

. The chapter material from this book has evolved from a seminar on PTSD held recently under the auspices of the VA Boston Healthcare System, Boston University Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. We propose a book that will focus on the epidemiology, neurobiology, MRI studies, animal models, arousal and sleep issues, clinical trials, and treatment strategies for clinicians. Treatment will cover such topics as guidelines for treating posttraumatic stress disorder, PTSD and the use of mental health services, cognitive intervention therapy, and large scale clinical trials in PTSD. This collection will be a vital source of information to clinicians and neuroscientists.

Modelling of Powder Die Compaction
Springer; 1 edition | November 20, 2007 | ISBN: 1846280982 | 329 pages | PDF | 12 Mb
Manufacture of components from powders frequently requires a compaction step. This is widely used in the powder metallurgy, ceramic, hardmetal, magnet, pharmaceutical, refractory and other sectors to make anything from complex gears for cars to pills to dishwasher tablets. Development of the tooling to manufacture a component can be a long process with several iterations. A complementary approach is to use a model of the compaction process to predict the way that powder behaves during compaction and hence the loads that need to be applied to achieve compaction and the quality of the compacted part.

Modelling of the process of die compaction has been the subject of recent collaborative research from leading experts in Europe and this book presents a summary of the state of the art, taking examples from recent world-class research. In particular the book presents a number of case studies that have been developed to test compaction models. Full details of data required for input to compaction models of these case studies is given together with a survey of the techniques used to generate the data. Details are also given of methods to produce and assess components for validation of die compaction models. Inclusion of information on case studies then provides a reference for testing and validation of compaction models.

The reader will gain an appreciation of:

* The requirements in industry for models of die compaction
* The techniques available to generate the material data required for input to compaction models
* The production and assessment of compacts for comparison with model predictions
* A range of compaction models and the results from exercises comparing results from these models with real powder compacts
* And a range of potential uses and modes of use of compaction models in industry.

Water Management at Abandoned Flooded Underground Mines
Springer; 1 edition | March 4, 2008 | ISBN: 3540773304 | 466 pages | PDF | 6 Mb
Switching off the pumps of a mine is one of the last steps in the lifetime of a surface or underground mine. As the water in the open space raises, the water might become contaminated with different pollutants and eventually starts to flow in the open voids. This book addresses the processes related to mine abandonment from a hydrogeological perspective. After an introduction to the relevant hydrogeochemical processes the book gives detailed information about mine closure procedures. Based on in-situ measurements the hydrodynamic processes in a flooded mine are described and some of the mine closure flow models exemplified. As all investigations base on precise data, the book gives some key issues of monitoring and sampling, especially flow monitoring. Then the book shows some new methodologies for conducting tracer tests in flooded mines and gives some hints to passive mine water treatment. At the end 13 well investigated case studies of flooded underground mine and mine water tracer tests are described and interpreted from a hydrodynamic point of view.

Biopharmaceutics Applications in Drug Development
Springer; 1 edition | November 26, 2007 | ISBN: 0387723781 | 402 pages | PDF | 3.8 Mb
In the last two decades, the discipline of biopharmaceutics has undergone considerable advances, particularly with regard to bioavailability and bioequivalence as they relate to product quality and regulatory standards of approval. Textbooks in the field have not been able to keep up with the growth of current and emerging applications of regulatory aspects of biopharmaceutics.

Biopharmaceutics Applications in Drug Development fills this gap. This book introduces fundamental concepts, methods, and advances in the areas of dissolution, absorption, and permeability and their key applications in dosage form performance. Case studies are used to discuss the applications of biopharmaceutic strategies in the development of successful drugs, with a specific focus on the applications of biopharmaceutic strategies in the development of successful drugs. The book presents an integrated view in linking pharmaceutic to the biological consequences of drug products and leverages those for decision making in drug development.

Product Description
While many computer science textbooks are confined to teaching programming code and languages, Algorithms and Data Structures: The Science of Computing takes a step back to introduce and explore algorithms — the content of the code. Focusing on three core topics: design (the architecture of algorithms), theory (mathematical modeling and analysis), and the scientific method (experimental confirmation of theoretical results), the book helps students see that computer science is about problem solving, not simply the memorization and recitation of languages.

Unlike many other texts, the methods of inquiry are explained in an integrated manner so students can see explicitly how they interact. Recursion and object oriented programming are emphasized as the main control structure and abstraction mechanism, respectively, in algorithm design. Designed for the CS2 course, the book includes text exercises and has laboratory exercises at the supplemental Web site.

Features:
* Reflects the principle that computer science is not solely about learning how to speak in a programming languages
* Covers recursion, binary trees, stacks, queues, hash tables, and object-oriented algorithms
* Written especially for CS2 students
* Accompanying Web site includes lab exercises, code, and instructor’s notes,

David Sadker, Jeanie K. Allen, “Most College Students Are Women: Implications for Teaching, Learning, and Policy”
Stylus Publishing | 2008 | ISBN: 1579221912 | 210 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB
Product Description
* Reveals continuing barriers to success for women students
* Offers remedies that will benefit all students

What are the realities behind recent press reports suggesting that women students have taken over higher education, both outnumbering males and academically outperforming them? Does women’s development during college diverge from the commonly accepted model of cognitive growth? Does pedagogy in higher education take into account their different ways of knowing? Are there still barriers to women’s educational achievement?

In answering these questions, this book’s overarching message is that the application of research on women’s college experiences has enriched teaching and learning for all students. It describes the broad benefits of new pedagogical models, and how feminist education aligns with the new call for civic education for all students.

The book also examines conditions and disciplines that remain barriers for women’s educational success, particularly in quantitative and scientific fields. It explores problems that arise at the intersection of race and gender and offers some transformative approaches. It considers the impact of the campus environment—such as the rise of binge drinking, sexual assault, and homophobic behaviors—on women students’ progress, and suggests means for improving the peer culture for all students. It concludes with an auto-narrative analysis of teaching women's studies to undergraduates that offers insights into the practicalities and joys of teaching.

At a time when women constitute the majority of students on most campuses, this book offers insights for all teachers, male and female, into how to help them to excel; and at the same time how to engage all their students, in all their diversity, through the application of feminist pedagogy.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events encompass processes as varied as the exchange of genetic material between microbes coexisting in the same environment, between symbiotic bacteria and their eukaryotic hosts, and the evolution of organelles by symbiosis, in which whole genomes are acquired. In Horizontal Gene Transfer: Genomes in Flux, expert researchers contribute an overview of HGT concepts as well as specific case histories that highlight the most current progress to inspire future work.

Divided into three sections, the volume begins with an overview of terminology, concepts and the implications of HGT on current evolutionary thought and philosophy, and continues with methods involving computer and bioinformatics analyses of genomic data as well as molecular biology techniques for identifying, quantifying, and differentiating instances of HGT. A section of case studies follows, which provides detailed accounts of how HGT has shaped evolution across the diversity of organisms and organismal lineages. As a volume of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series, this work provides the kind of detailed description and implementation advice that is crucial for getting optimal results.

Cutting-edge and thoroughly detailed, Horizontal Gene Transfer: Genomes in Flux examines how HGT has contributed to genome evolution and how understanding HGT impacts our ability to accurately reconstruct and comprehend the web-like evolutionary history in order to aid scientists in furthering their own research.

David Pressman - Patent It Yourself 13th Edition
NOLO | 2008 | ISBN: 1413308546 | Pages: 572 | PDF | 19.91 MB
The world's bestselling guide to patenting your creation!

Have a world-class idea? Ready to protect your invention from copycats? Then turn to the best resource available-- Patent It Yourself.

Attorney David Pressman takes you through the entire patent process, providing scrupulously updated information and clear instructions to help you:
determine if you can patent your invention understand patent law evaluate the commercial potential of your idea perform your own patent search file a provisional patent application prepare a formal patent application respond to patent examiners amend an application enforce and maintain your patent market and license your invention and much more Thoroughly updated, the 13th edition provides the latest U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rules and forms. It covers how to file a patent electronically with the USPTO, details about combination inventions, marked changes in the EFS electronic patent filing system, and other changes to technical filing rules. Whether you're new at the inventing game or a grizzled veteran, Patent It Yourself will save you grief, time and money. Amazon.com: Say that you've come up with a really nifty idea for a gizmo that would improve the lives of every human being on Earth and probably turn you into a gadzillionaire, too! Before you get too far into the fantasy, you need this extremely detailed and comprehensive guide to the process of getting a patent. This is not a small book, but it contains everything you need to know, including a lot of things you probably don't KNOW you need to know. Very detailed, with examples of forms you'll need, addresses and marketing advice, this is the complete guide you'll need to navigate this complex process from square one to gadzillionaire-ness! Summary

: The best of its typeRating: 5I wasted thousands of dollars and hours I could have used towards success if I had read "Patent it Yourself" BEFORE I became a serious inventor. This was my third edition to purchase which is testimony enough. Summary: Awesome!Rating: 5Awesome book! Helped with every step of the Patent process and to clear up many, many misconceptions. I would recommend this to everyone planning to write their own patent, need help or thinking of hiring an attorney. Which you won't need after you read this book! Summary: A must-read for serious, individual inventorsRating: 4(Be sure you order the latest edition - 13th at this June 2008 writing) This hefty volume is the best I've seen for its detail and advice to serious inventors. It goes well beyond generalities and contains very specific advice on the idea protection process. Almost everybody has idea(s) that they consider patenting at one time or another. When you get to that serious stage with an idea (as I've been), and even if you plan to work with a patent attorney (as I am), the specific information in Mr. Pressman's series show a clear roadmap to follow to save time and money. He doesn't say, "Find a service to evaluate the marketability of your idea;" he gives companies, institutions, contact names, phone numbers, and Web sites. And very pointed advice to stay away from those close-cover-before-striking inventor services. He includes the forms, language, fees, and instructions that will either intimidate you from pursuing a patent, or encourage you that your idea is patentable and how to get it done. I'm still reading my well-marked, dog-eared copy, working toward using his licensing advice. Summary: AdequateRating: 3Nolo has the annoying habit of giving you diluted books that ask you to buy other books of theirs to round out your knowledge of a given subject. This is no exception. I was interested in filing a provisional patent. This book has info about it, but kept referring to another book. This is perverse given how easy it is to file a provisional patent. On top of it all, there was some misleading information about the order of sections, and no useful info on filing online (I had to learn this from the USPTO site itself through a lot of digging). What's more, the book is fairly simplistic and "for dummies" when it comes to discussion of patent law - I have read better books (not how-to guides) on that. The book is not bad, just keep in mind that it is limited and definitely not a one-stop shop. Summary: Can't go wrong for the priceRating: 4It's a good book for someone starting out with the patent application process. However, after reading the entire text, then re-reading specific sections, it felt like a lot of cheerleading. There are a ton of excellent examples and explanations on why certain sections should be written in specific ways. And you can't go wrong for the price. I'm now looking at the 'How to write a patent application' by Sheldon: [...] If it's your first patent text, it's a very good start.

The IBM® XIV® Storage System (2810-A14) is designed to be a scalable enterprise storage system based upon a grid array of hardware components. It can attach to both Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) and iSCSI capable hosts. The first chapters of this book provide details about many of the unique and powerful concepts that form the basis of the XIV Storage System logical and physical architecture. We explain how the system was designed to eliminate direct dependencies between the hardware elements and the software that governs the system. In subsequent chapters,

we explain the planning and preparation tasks that are required to deploy the system in your environment. This explanation is followed by a step-by-step procedure of how to configure and administer the system. We provide illustrations of how to perform those tasks by using the intuitive, yet powerful XIV Storage Manager GUI or the Extended Command Line Interface (XCLI). We explore and illustrate the use of snapshots and Remote Copy functions. The book also outlines the requirements and summarizes the procedures for attaching the system to various host platforms. This IBM Redbooks® publication is intended for those individuals who want an understanding of the XIV Storage System and also targets readers who need detailed advice about how to configure and use the system.

WHO Regional Office for Europe "Home Care in Europe: The Solid Facts"
World Health Organization | 2009-03 | ISBN: 9289042818 | 44 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

Demographic, epidemiological, social and cultural trends in European countries are changing the traditional patterns of care. The next decades will see rising numbers of care-dependent older people and noncommunicable diseases as the leading cause of chronic illness and disability. Further, urbanization and the break-up of the traditional large family group will lead to gaps in the care of older or disabled family members. These changes in needs and social structure require a different approach to policy and services in the health and social sectors; a disease-oriented approach alone is no longer appropriate.

Home care could be an answer to these issues: a sustainable approach to prevent the need for unnecessary acute or long-term institutionalization and to maintain people in their homes and communities as long as possible. Along with new forms of service delivery organization, technological innovation can represent a viable solution to developing home care in Europe, provided that health care systems can further enhance integration and coordination.

This publication is part of the work of the WHO Regional Office for Europe to present evidence for health policy- and decision-makers in a clear and understandable form. It explains why health and social services should provide high-quality and targeted home care for disabled and older people. It provides evidence for the effectiveness of home care, shows how it can be improved, and explains the need to ensure equitable access. The publication also explores the varied cultural and care contexts in different countries, and reveals how to educate professionals and the public about these issues. This booklet seeks to broaden awareness stimulate debate and promote action.

Kwok Leung, Michael Harris Bond. "Psychological Aspects of Social Axioms: Understanding Global Belief Systems"
International and Cultural Psychology
Springer | 2008-12 | ISBN: 0387098097 | 348 pages | PDF | 5 Mb
While value-based frameworks have offered revealing insights about culture, other conceptual tools need to be explored and deployed for a comprehensive understanding of both culture and individuals and how culture shapes individual processes and outcomes. To achieve this end, the authors and editors of Psychological Aspects of Social Axioms propose the construct of social axioms to augment values in interpreting culture and the behavior of individuals in their cultural contexts. Social axioms are defined as generalized beliefs about oneself, other people, the social environment, or the spiritual and physical world, and are central to a person’s belief system. Their function is to enhance the survival and functioning of the person in his/her social and physical environment.

RS Download | IF Mirror | ES Mirror

The editors identify five axiom dimensions that form the construct:

Social cynicism, defined as a negative assessment of human nature and a mistrust of social institutions Social complexity, which is a belief that there are multiple ways of achieving a given outcome and that a given person’s behavior may be inconsistent from situation to situation.

Reward for application, which is the expectation that effort, knowledge, careful planning and the investment of these and other resources will lead to positive results Religiosity, the belief of the existence of a supernatural being and the beneficial social functions of religious institutions and practices Fate control, the idea that life events are pre-determined by grand external forces, but that there are some ways for people to influence the impact of these forces.

Markus Staeuble, "ZK Developer's Guide: Developing responsive user interfaces for web applications using Ajax, XUL, and the open source ZK rich web client development framework "
Packt Publishing | 2008 | ISBN: 1847192009 | 184 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB
ZK is an open-source web development framework that enables web applications to have the rich user experiences and low development costs that desktop applications have had for years. ZK includes an Ajax-based event-driven engine, rich sets of XML User Interface Language (XUL) and XHTML components, and a markup language. The ZK rich client framework takes the so-called server-centric approach: the content synchronization of components and the event pipelining between clients and servers are automatically done by the engine and Ajax plumbing codes are completely transparent to web application developers. Therefore, the end users get rich user interfaces with similar engaged interactivity and responsiveness to that of desktop applications, while for programmers, development remains similar in simplicity to that of desktop applications. This book is a Developer's Guide that steps you through the ZK framework with examples. It starts with installing and configuring ZK and takes you on to integrate it with other frameworks. By the time you are through the book you will be able to build an application on your own.

Alexandra Okada , Simon J. Buckingham Shum , Tony Sherborne, "Knowledge Cartography: Software Tools and Mapping Techniques"
Springer | 2008 | ISBN: 1848001487 | 400 pages | PDF | 35,4 MB
Knowledge Cartography is the discipline of mapping intellectual landscapes.
The focus of this book is on the process by which manually crafting interactive, hypertextual maps clarifies one’s own understanding, as well as communicating it.

The authors see mapping software as a set of visual tools for reading and writing in a networked age. In an information ocean, the primary challenge is to find meaningful patterns around which we can weave plausible narratives. Maps of concepts, discussions and arguments make the connections between ideas tangible and disputable.
With 17 chapters from the leading researchers and practitioners, the reader will find the current state–of-the-art in the field. Part 1 focuses on educational applications in schools and universities, before Part 2 turns to applications in professional communities, but with many cross-cutting themes:
• conceptual frameworks for understanding knowledge cartography
• visual languages, many of which work on both paper and with software
• specialist software, much of it freely available and open source
• case studies reflecting on successes and failures
• ways in which maps can be used both effectively and ineffectively
• examples of how to evaluate maps
• visit the website for updates on the field, and extra resources for each chapter:
www.kmi.open.ac.uk/books/knowledge-cartography
Knowledge Cartography will be of interest to learners, educators, and researchers in all disciplines, as well as policy analysts, scenario planners, knowledge managers and team facilitators. Practitioners will find new perspectives and tools to expand their repertoire, while researchers will find rich enough conceptual grounding for further scholarship.

Giovanni Vulpetti, Les Johnson, Gregory L. Matloff, “Solar Sails: A Novel Approach to Interplanetary Travel ”
CRC | 2008 | ISBN: 0387344047 | 256 pages | PDF | 32,3 MB
Solar sailing is a topic of growing popular and media interest. Solar sail propulsion will make space exploration more affordable and offer access to destinations within (and beyond) the solar system that are currently beyond our reach. This book describes solar sails, how they work and what they will be used for in the exploration of space in an easily readable manner which does not necessitate any prior knowledge of physics or solar sailing. It discusses current plans for solar sails and also describes how advanced technology, such as nanotechnology, might enhance solar-sail performance. Much has been accomplished recently to make solar sail technology very close to becoming an engineering reality and it will soon be used by the world’s space agencies in the exploration of the solar system and beyond.

The book has four parts, each with multiple chapters which, in turn, contain some references and suggested further reading. Parts 1 - 3 are non-mathematical, while Part 4 contains more detailed technical information.

Part 1 summarizes space propulsion systems and technologies. These are the key to any deep space exploration by humans, robots, or both. Solar-sail propulsion will make space exploration more affordable and offer access to destinations within (and beyond) the solar system that are currently beyond our reach.

Part 2 describes the fundamentals of space solar sail propulsion at a non-mathematical level and will include the near-, mid- and far-term missions that might use solar sails as a propulsion system. Near-term missions will study the sun and will carry artifacts and human DNA into deep space. Mid-term missions will go to the outer solar system and into nearby interstellar space. The far-term missions might be possible with very large, ultra-lightweight sails, possibly using beamed energy from space-based lasers, to carry our first spacecraft to another star.

Part 3 outlines solar sail technology and the construction of current and future sailcraft, including the work of both government and private space organizations. Images of sail hardware that has been built, tested and, in some cases, flown will be included. Part 4 will give a more rigorous explanation of solar sail propulsion (supporting Part 1) and the supporting analysis of the missions and technologies discussed in Parts 2 & 3.

Leopold B. Felsen, “Electromagnetic Field Computation by Network Methods”
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 3540939458 | 151 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB
In this monograph, the authors propose a systematic and rigorous treatment of electromagnetic field representations in complex structures. The architecture suggested in this book accommodates use of different numerical methods as well as alternative Green's function representations in each of the subdomains resulting from a partitioning of the overall problem.

The subdomains are regions of space where electromagnetic energy is stored and are described in terms of equivalent circuit representations based either on lumped element circuits or on transmission lines. Connection networks connect the subcircuits representing the subdomains. The connection networks are lossless, don't store energy and represent the overall problem topology. This is similar to what is done in circuit theory and permits a phrasing of the solution of EM field problems in complex structures by Network-oriented methods.

IBM Redbooks "Implementing the IBM System Storage San Volume Controller V4.3"
Vervante | 2008 | ISBN: 073843163X | 970 pages | PDF | 15 MB

This IBM Redbooks publication is an updated, detailed technical guide to the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC), a virtualization appliance solution that maps virtualized volumes visible to hosts and applications to physical volumes on storage devices. Each server within the SAN has its own set of virtual storage addresses, which are mapped to physical addresses. If the physical addresses change, the server continues running using the same virtual addresses it had before. This means that volumes or storage can be added or moved while the server is still running. IBM's virtualization technology improves management of information at the block level in a network, enabling applications and servers to share storage devices on a network. This book covers the following areas: - Storage virtualization high-level overview - Architecture of the SVC - Implementing and configuring the SVC - Using virtualization and advanced copy services functions - Migrating existing storage to the SVC

IBM Redbooks "Sap Applications on IBM Powervm"
Vervante | 2009 | ISBN: 0738485004 | 154 pages | PDF | 4,5 MB

The term virtualization leads to a wealth of definitions. A generic, rather popular scientific description is "In computing, virtualization is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources." IBM® invented the virtualization technology starting in the 1960s on the mainframe, and the functionalities evolved and were ported to other platforms and improved the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features. With virtualization, you achieve better asset utilization, reduced operating costs, and faster responsiveness to changing business demands.

Every technology vendor in the SAP® ecosystem understands virtualization as slightly different capabilities on different levels (storage and server hardware, CPU, memory, I/O resources or the application, and so on). It is important to understand exactly what functionality is offered and how it supports the customer's business requirements. In this IBM Redbooks® publication, we focus on server virtualization technologies in the IBM Power SystemsTM hardware, AIX® and Linux® on Power space and what they mean specifically for SAP applications running on this platform. We do not repeat information that is already available from other sources unless it is directly related to the IT infrastructure for the SAP solution; therefore, we included a lot of links and references for further information about virtualization in general. SAP customers can leverage the technology that the IBM System p® platform offers. In this book, we describe the technologies and functions, what they mean, and how they apply to the SAP system landscape. SAP currently has no limitations, in general, supporting their products that are running on PowerVMTM technology. If there are specific limitations, we mention them in the individual chapters and compiled them in the list of links in "Related publications" on page 127.

Colin Shaw "The DNA of Customer Experience: How Emotions Drive Value"
Palgrave Macmillan | 2007-07-10 | ISBN: 0230500005 | 288 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB

Show me the money! This is the frantic cry of the "old guard" of senior executives as they desperately struggle to deal with commoditizing markets, the loss of their differentiator and the inevitable impact on profitability.

At the same time the new breed of enlightened, customer-focused executives knowingly smile, seeing the answer is simple: focus on the customer rather than the organization, provide customers with an emotionally engaging experience, and the rest will take care of itself. They understand that the customer experience is the next competitive battleground and that emotions account for over 50% of an experience.

In one case study in this book, an organization adopting this philosophy dealing in a mature market, enjoyed 100% growth in revenues, doubled their customer base, substantially reduced customer churn, increased the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns by 20% and reduced employee attrition by 13%.

As the world thought leaders on customer experience, Colin Shaw and the team at Beyond Philosophy have undertaken more than 18 months of groundbreaking research to discovering the emotions that drive and destroy value in an organization and can now disclose the empirical link between evoking these emotions and substantial financial returns.

By the end of the book you will understand:
* The four clusters of emotions that increase customers' short term spend and drive and destroy customer loyalty
* How to prove that improving your customer experience provides considerable financial returns
* How to evoke these emotions in your customers
* How these emotions affect your "Net Promoter" score and how to use them to improve it
* Why every organization has an Emotional Signature

This book is littered with examples of organizations who already understand the DNA of customer experience and know the power of emotions to gain a competitive edge.

James L. Perry, Annie Hondeghem, “Motivation in Public Management: The Call of Public Service”
Oxford University Press | 2008 | ISBN: 0199234035 | 352 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB
Motivation in Public Management: The Call of Public Service joins a long-standing debate about what drives the behavior of government employees and others who are engaged in the public's business. For many centuries, public service was considered a noble calling and, more recently, a profession. During the latter part of the 20th century, however, many scholars called into question both the reality and desirability of a public service ethic. This book draws upon a substantial and growing body of evidence from across disciplines in the social, behavioral, and natural sciences. It asks and answers key questions about the extent to which behavior is fundamentally self- or other-regarding.

To paraphrase James Madison, "public servants are not angels," but neither are they self-aggrandizing opportunists. The evidence presented in this volume offers a compelling case that motivation theory should be grounded not only in rational choice models, but altruistic and prosocial perspectives as well. In addition to reviewing evidence from many disciplines, the volume extensively reviews research in public management conducted under the rubric of "public service motivation". The volume is a comprehensive guide to history, methodology, empirical research, and institutional and managerial implications of research on public service motivation. As the contributors illustrate, the implications transcend particular sectors or countries.

Christopher Pollitt, “Time, Policy, Management: Governing with the Past”
Oxford University Press | 2008 | ISBN: 0199237727 | 232 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
In this important new book, Christopher Pollitt, one of the leading researchers in public policy and management, argues that we are guilty of neglecting a fundamental dimension of both the practice and study of contemporary public policymaking and management: that of time.
Pollitt traces the character of, and the reasons for, this neglect in his wide-ranging study. He considers the theoretical options for addressing time in a more sophisticated way, and applies these perspectives both to his own research and that of many others. Finally he looks at the implications for practitioners.

Pollitt's analysis draws on an exceptionally wide range of work from many fields, sectors, and countries. It is rich in examples, concepts, and methods. It poses fundamental questions about some central tendencies in 21st century policymaking, and opens up a new direction for academic research.

Price V. Fishback, "Government and the American Economy: A New History"
Publisher: University Of Chicago Press | 2007-05-15 | ISBN 0226251284 | PDF | 560 pages | 3,1 MB

The American economy has provided a level of well-being that has consistently ranked at or near the top of the international ladder. A key source of this success has been widespread participation in political and economic processes. In The Government and the American Economy, leading economic historians chronicle the significance of America’s open-access society and the roles played by government in its unrivaled success story.

America’s democratic experiment, the authors show, allowed individuals and interest groups to shape the structure and policies of government, which, in turn, have fostered economic success and innovation by emphasizing private property rights, the rule of law, and protections of individual freedom. In response to new demands for infrastructure, America’s federal structure hastened development by promoting the primacy of states, cities, and national governments. More recently, the economic reach of American government expanded dramatically as the populace accepted stronger limits on its economic freedoms in exchange for the increased security provided by regulation, an expanded welfare state, and a stronger national defense.

Jamey L. Jenkins, "The Sun and How to Observe It (Astronomers' Observing Guides)"
Springer | 2009-02 | ISBN: 0387094970 | 210 pages | PDF | 3,4 MB
In Part 1, the book describes the very latest thinking on solar physics in (mostly non-mathematical) detail, incorporating the latest results from research concerning the structure and behaviour of the Sun. There is particular emphasis on the surface features visible from the Earth, and how these are the result of the extraordinary processes that are taking place within the Sun.

In Part 2, the book details the techniques for observing and imaging the Sun with commercially-available equipment. The many recent advances in optical equipment now allow amateur astronomers to observe phenomena that until recently could only be seen with the extremely expensive equipment available at universities and research observatories – notably H-alpha and Calcium-K telescopes.

This is a completely up-to-date solar observing book, while providing the science background necessary for an understanding of the observations with the latest equipment. It also features the most complete solar observing and imaging guide available.

Mikhail V. Nesterenko, Victor A. Katrich, Yuriy M. Penkin, Sergey L. Berdnik, "Analytical and Hybrid Methods in the Theory of Slot-Hole Coupling of Electrodynamic Volumes"
Springer | 2008-08-01 | ISBN: 0387763600 | 146 pages | PDF | 5,9 MB
The impetuous development of technical opportunities of personal computers (PC) over the last twenty years, and a powerful set of numerical methods available in the arsenal of investigators, have forced the working-out of analytical solutions to radiophysical problems. However, at present the fact is evident that optimal use of computer calculations should be based on the application of analytical methods of boundary problem solutions. These methods allow to increase PC-use efficiency and also expand their calculation abilities to solve complex electrodynamic problems.

Hence the authors experience in the development of analytical methods to solve the problems of diffraction of waveguide electromagnetic waves on slot coupling holes, represented in this book, will be useful for investigators interested both in the field of theoretical electrodynamics and in the field of practical analysis of multi-functional waveguide devices and systems with slot coupling elements.

Martin Mobberley, "Cataclysmic Cosmic Events and How to Observe Them (Astronomers' Observing Guides)"
Springer | 2008-12-02 | ISBN: 0387799451 | 240 pages | PDF | 4,9 MB
This book is about observing dramatic and often bizarre cosmic events. Observation of gamma ray bursts, cataclysmic variable star outbursts, distant supernovae, and even active galactic nuclei might be thought to be far beyond the range of amateur observers – but this is not the case. Recent technical developments in CCD equipment, powerful PCs, new observing and processing techniques, and professional satellite monitoring systems have opened a range of high-value niche areas of scientific astronomy to amateurs.

Cataclysmic Cosmic Events and How to Observe them explains what these events are, what we know of their physics, and how amateur astronomers can observe them.

For example, it might be thought that events as distant as gamma ray bursts (GRB) and active galaxies could not possibly be observed by amateur astronomers - but gamma ray bursts have been recorded using simple cameras with telephoto lenses. These incredibly powerful events fade dramatically, and once an orbiting satellite detects a GRB it is primarily a question of response time – so it is easily possible for amateur astronomers to be the first to respond.

There are a dozen active galaxies which are easily visible in amateur telescopes visually, let alone with CCD equipment. In this era of CCDs and automated telescopes, amateur astronomers are reaching deeper than most professional astronomers were able to in the film-based era of the 1980s. The Internet allows rapid emailing of alerts, finder charts and large image files: this simply was not technically possible even 15 years ago. Monitoring cataclysmic variables is an increasingly popular aspect of amateur astronomy, with many visual observers checking dozens of these objects every clear night.

Closer to home, amateurs are observing high-energy outbursts on the Sun. using the latest generation of H-alpha telescopes and filters and webcams. More and more of these outbursts will occur as we move towards the next sunspot maximum (in 2011) – possibly more than at any time since 1958. This will be an increasingly important field of amateur astronomy.

Here is an exciting set of observational challenges related to some of the most spectacular events in astronomy today. It bridges the gap between the professionals, and the keen backyard amateurs wanting to contribute professional results.

Guo-Liang Wang, Barbara Valent, "Advances in Genetics, Genomics and Control of Rice Blast Disease"
Springer | 2009-03 | ISBN: 140209499X | 464 pages | PDF | 11,8 MB
Rice blast, caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea, is one of the most destructive rice diseases worldwide and destroys enough rice to feed more than 60 million people annually. Due to high variability of the fungal population in the field, frequent loss of resistance of newly-released rice cultivars is a major restraint in sustainable rice production. In the last few years, significant progress has been made in understanding the defense mechanism of rice and pathogenicity of the fungus. The rice blast system has become a model pathosystem for understanding the molecular basis of plant-fungal interactions due to the availability of both genomes of rice and M. grisea and a large collection of genetic resources. This book provides a complete review of the recent progress and achievements on genetic, genomic and disease control of the disease. Most of the chapters were presented at the 4th International Rice Blast Conference held on October 9-14, 2007 in Changsha, China. This book is a valuable reference not only for plant pathologists and breeders working on rice blast but also for those working on other pathysystems in crop plants.

Augmented Learning: Research and Design of Mobile Educational Games
Publisher: The MIT Press | ISBN: 0262113155 | edition 2008 | PDF | 251 pages | 3,03 mb
New technology has brought with it new tools for learning, and research has shown that the educational potential of video games resonates with scholars, teachers, and students alike. In Augmented Learning, Eric Klopfer describes the largely untapped potential of mobile learning games--games played on such handheld devices as cell phones, Game Boys, and Sony PSPs--to make a substantial impact on learning. Examining mobile games from both educational and gaming perspectives, Klopfer argues that the strengths of the mobile platform--its portability, context sensitivity, connectivity, and ubiquity--make it ideal for learning games in elementary, secondary, university, and lifelong education.

Klopfer begins by exploring the past and present of education, educational technology, "edutainment," and mobile games, and then offers a series of case studies of mobile educational games that have been developed and implemented in recent years. These games--either participatory (which require interaction with other players) or augmented reality (which augment the real world with virtual information)--can be produced at lower cost than PC or full-size console games. They use social dynamics and real-world contexts to enhance game play, can be integrated into the natural flow of instruction more easily than their big-screen counterparts, and can create compelling educational and engaging environments for learners. They are especially well-suited for helping learners at every level develop twenty-first century skills--including the ability to tackle complex problems and acquire information in "just-in-time" fashion. All of this, Klopfer argues, puts mobile learning games in a unique and powerful position within educational technology

Dariusz Jemielniak, Jerzy Kociatkiewicz "Management Practices in High-Tech Environments"
IGI Global | 2008-04-16 | ISBN: 1599045648 | 428 pages | PDF | 3,2 MB

The concept of innovation management and learning organizations concepts strongly emphasize the high role of human/intellectual capital in the company and the crucial function of knowledge in modern society. However, there is often a paradox between managerial language and actual practice in many organizations: on one hand, knowledge-workers are perceived as the most valued members of organizations while, on the other, they are being manipulated and engineeredcommonly driven to burn-out, and deprived of family life. All this leads to the emergence of new organizational phenomena that, up to now, have been insufficiently analyzed and described.

Management Practices in High-Tech Environments studies this issue thoroughly from an international, comparative, cross-cultural perspective, presenting cutting-edge research on management practices in American, European, Asian and Middle-Eastern high-tech companies, with particular focus on fieldwork-driven, but reflective, contributions.

Implementing Electronic Document and Record Management Systems
Publisher: AUERBACH | ISBN: 0849380596 | edition 2007 | PDF | 280 pages | 3,42 mb
The global shift toward delivering services online requires organizations to evolve from using traditional paper files and storage to more modern electronic methods. There has however been very little information on just how to navigate this change-until now. Implementing Electronic Document and Record Management Systems explains how to efficiently store and access electronic documents and records in a manner that allows quick and efficient access to information so an organization may meet the needs of its clients.

The book addresses a host of issues related to electronic document and records management systems (EDRMS). From starting the project to systems administration, it details every aspect in relation to implementation and management processes. The text also explains managing cultural changes and business process re-engineering that organizations undergo as they switch from paper-based records to electronic documents. It offers case studies that examine how various organizations across the globe have implemented EDRMS. While the task of creating and employing an EDRMS may seem daunting at best, Implementing Electronic Document and Record Management Systems is the resource that can provide you with the direction and guidance you need to make the transition as seamless as possible.

From Protein Structure to Function with Bioinformatics
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 328 | 2008-12-01 | ISBN 1402090579 | PDF | 23 MB
Proteins lie at the heart of almost all biological processes and have an incredibly wide range of activities. Central to the function of all proteins is their ability to adopt, stably or sometimes transiently, structures that allow for interaction with other molecules. An understanding of a protein’s structure can therefore lead us to a much improved picture of its molecular function(s).

This realisation has been a prime motivation of recent Structural Genomics projects, involving large-scale experimental determination of protein structures, often those of proteins about which little is known of function. These initiatives have, in turn, stimulated the massive development of novel methods for prediction of protein function from structure. Since model structures may also take advantage of new function prediction algorithms, the first part of the book deals with the various ways in which protein structures may be predicted or inferred, including specific treatment of membrane and intrinsically disordered proteins. A detailed consideration of all current structure-based function prediction methodologies forms the second part of this book, which concludes with two chapters, focusing specifically on case studies, designed to illustrate the real-world application of these methods. With bang up-to-date texts from world experts, and abundant links to publicly available resources, this book will be invaluable to anyone who studies proteins and the endlessly fascinating relationship between their structure and function.

Ben Fry, "Visualizing Data "
O'Reilly Media, Inc. | 2008-01-11 | ISBN: 0596514557 | PDF | 382 pages | 5 MB
Enormous quantities of data go unused or underused today, simply because people can't visualize the quantities and relationships in it. Using a downloadable programming environment developed by the author, Visualizing Data demonstrates methods for representing data accurately on the Web and elsewhere, complete with user interaction, animation, and more. How do the 3.1 billion A, C, G and T letters of the human genome compare to those of a chimp or a mouse?

What do the paths that millions of visitors take through a web site look like? With Visualizing Data, you learn how to answer complex questions like these with thoroughly interactive displays. We're not talking about cookie-cutter charts and graphs. This book teaches you how to design entire interfaces around large, complex data sets with the help of a powerful new design and prototyping tool called "Processing." Used by many researchers and companies to convey specific data in a clear and understandable manner, the Processing beta is available free. With this tool and Visualizing Data as a guide, you'll learn basic visualization principles, how to choose the right kind of display for your purposes, and how to provide interactive features that will bring users to your site over and over. This book teaches you: The seven stages of visualizing data -- acquire, parse, filter, mine, represent, refine, and interact How all data problems begin with a question and end with a narrative construct that provides a clear answer without extraneous details Several example projects with the code to make them work Positive and negative points of each representation discussed. The focus is on customization so that each one best suits what you want toconvey about your data set The book does not provide ready-made "visualizations" that can be plugged into any data set. Instead, with chapters divided by types of data rather than types of display, you'll learn how each visualization conveys the unique properties of the data it represents -- why the data was collected, what's interesting about it, and what stories it can tell. Visualizing Data teaches you how to answer questions, not simply display information.

Steven Reiss, "The Normal Personality: A New Way of Thinking About People"
Cambridge University Press | 2008-01-31 | ISBN: 0521881064 | 212 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
Many Psychologists regard personality and mental illness as closely related. The shadow of Freudian analysis looms over modern psychopathology, driving many psychologists to try to understand their clients' personal troubles and personalities using constructs developed to study mental illness. They believe that dark, unconscious mental forces that originated in childhood cause personality traits, personal troubles, and mental illnesses. Steven Reiss thinks problems are a normal part of life.

In The Normal Personality, Reiss argues that human beings are naturally intolerant of people who express values significantly different from their own. Because of this intolerance, psychologists and psychiatrists sometimes confuse individuality with abnormality and thus over-diagnose disorders. Reiss shows how normal motives, not anxiety or traumatic childhood experiences, underlie many personality and relationship problems, such as divorce, infidelity, combativeness, workaholism, loneliness, authoritarianism, weak leadership styles, perfectionism, underachievement, arrogance, extravagance, stuffed shirt-ism, disloyalty, disorganization, and overanxiety. Based on a series of scientific studies, this book advances an original scientific theory of psychological needs, values, and personality traits. Reiss shows how different points on motivational arc produce different personality traits and values. He also shows how knowledge of psychological needs and values can be applied in counseling individuals and couples. The author describes new, powerful methods of assessing and predicting motivated behavior in natural environments including corporations, schools, and relationships.

Oxford University Press | 2008-04-15 | ISBN: 0199215359 | 325 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB

The last five decades have seen a sea-change in business and in management studies. The world of business has been transformed by powerful forces: globalization, IT, outsourcing and all manner of organizational reshaping and flattening. At the same time Management Studies has seen a massive expansion in courses, students and teachers, driven in part by a quest for new and broader models. The ground covered by Management Studies, and the way Management Studies maps this, have changed.

This book, written by specialist experts, analyses these developments in Management Studies, giving a concise guide to specific areas. Working from the broader global and technological context, it explores a range of sectors - private, public and professional - and conclude by examining specific functions involved in management, such as Corporate Strategy, Information Technology, Operations Management, and Marketing.
The authors are all associated with Templeton College at the University of Oxford, a school known for its close work with managers, companies, and other types of organizations, through its executive education programs and high-impact business research. This experience, and its specialist knowledge, leaves it uniquely positioned to chronicle and comment on the development of the discipline of management studies and point the way ahead.

Dirk Louis, “Visual C++6 - Jetzt lerne ich... . Der einfache Einstieg in die Windows-Programmierung”
Markt+Technik | 2000 | ISBN: 3827255198 | 548 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Microsofts Visual C++ ist die wohl meistverwendete Programmierumgebung für Windowsprogramme. Das Buch Jetzt lerne ich Visual C++ 6 von Dirk Louis richtet sich an den Einsteiger, der sich die Windows-Entwicklung mit C++ erschließen will.

Louis setzt dabei C++-Kenntnisse voraus und führt auch nicht in die Objektorientierung ein. Der Schwerpunkt des Buches sind die Entwicklungsumgebung und die Projektassistenten. Über diese erstellt der Autor Beispiele, die dem Leser als Einstieg in eigene Programme dienen können.

Die Beispiele nutzen zum größten Teil die Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), die Microsoft als objektorientierten Layer zur Win32-API entwickelt hat. Die API selbst wird kaum behandelt, der Leser muß hier zum Beispiel auf Windows-Programmierung von Charles Petzold zurückgreifen.

Dirk Louis geht in seinem Buch kaum auf Konzepte ein. Als Lehrbuch für Einsteiger ist es daher nicht geeignet. Objektorientierung, C++ oder Windows-Entwicklung werden dem Leser nicht vermittelt, nur schlicht und einfach die Nutzung von MS Visual C++ 6. Für das praktische Training ist auf der mitgelieferten CD-ROM eine Autorenversion des Compilers enthalten.

Durch die fehlenden Inhalte ist das Buch trotz seines recht günstigen Preises kaum zu empfehlen. Einzig der erfahrene C++-Entwickler, der von einer anderen Entwicklungsumgebung kommend auf MS Visual C++ umsteigen will oder muß, kann dem Buch einigen Nutzen abgewinnen.

Peter Farrell-Vinay, "Manage Software Testing"
Auerbach Publications | 2008-03-07 | ISBN: 0849393833 | 600 pages | PDF | 8,9 MB
Whether you are inheriting a test team or starting one up,
Manage Software Testing is a must-have resource that covers all aspects of test management. It guides you through the business and organizational issues that you are confronted with on a daily basis, explaining what you need to focus on strategically, tactically, and operationally.

Using a risk-based approach, the author addresses a range of questions about software product development. The book covers unit, system, and non-functional tests and includes examples on how to estimate the number of bugs expected to be found, the time required for testing, and the date when a release is ready. It weighs the cost of finding bugs against the risks of missing release dates or letting bugs appear in the final released product.
It is imperative to determine if bugs do exist and then be able to metric how quickly they can be identified, the cost they incur, and how many remain in the product when it is released. With this book, test managers can effectively and accurately establish these parameters.

Derk-Jan de Grood, "TestGoal: Result-Driven Testing"
Springer | 2008-07-07 | ISBN: 354078828X | 397 pages | PDF | 4,1 MB
Software testing is traditionally seen as a difficult and time consuming activity that is hard to embed in the software development process. This book provides a different view. It explains to stakeholders how testing can add value to software development and doing business, and provides the tester with practical information.

TestGoal is not just another methodology. Several good testing methodologies exist. But, like any other profession, also testing encompasses more than the simple application of a methodology. After all, strict adherence to a specific methodology is no guarantee for success. Success stems from the mindset, enthusiasm, knowledge and skill of the tester. These factors determine whether a methodology is applied successfully and whether testing takes on a result-driven character. And that’s what TestGoal is about: a result-driven attitude, testing principles and expertise as fundament, and a hands-on six step plan to enable result driven testing.
Derk-Jan de Grood and his colleagues from Collis, an international software testing company, know about the main pitfalls in test projects from their extensive professional experience. TestGoal has emerged from the office floor and captures over a decade of best practice. TestGoal is made by professionals for professionals, and it combines the mindset, knowledge, and skills required to add value with testing and make software development more successful.
This book explains in a clear language how you can make testing result-driven. It explains why testing is important and describes all of the activities involved in testing. It is enriched with recognizable examples, practical tips and useful checklists. This makes it a "GO kit" that enables testers to immediately get started and add value to their organization.
Reviews:
"I am excited by this book! Inside, the reader will find "essential gems" that enable him to take the goals of the business to heart. More than proving that the system does what it was designed to do, we can now answer whether the system delivers results, contributes to the business goals, and enables the business to be successful!" - Donna McLeod, Test Manager, Canada
"TestGoal is a very welcome addition to the list of test related publications. Its special power is in the descriptions of the test activities. When appropriate these are supported with reference to other sources." - Jeroen Rosink, Test Consultant, The Netherlands
"Congratulations on your new book, it looks great. And I know that it is not only the outside that is of high quality." - Martin Pol, 1st Winner of the European Testing Excellence Award, The Netherlands
"Focus on business goals. Align your work with those goals. Eliminate work that does not add value to the business - this is today's management mantra. All good advice. But few in the testing community truly understand what that kind of alignment means. Derk-Jan de Grood is one of those few." - Lee Copeland, USA
"TestGoal provides a practical view on the profession of the software tester. TestGoal is a true addition to the numerous publications in this field." - Stephanie van Dijk, Test Manager, The Netherlands
"TestGoal puts special attention to the person behind the tester. The story is told from the author’s and his colleagues’ own experience. As a result, the description is much more user-centered than in other books on testing. With TestGoal, Derk-Jan adds a valuable contribution to the software testing library." - Jens Pass, Chairman of Eurostar 2006, Belgium

Paul Wojtkowski, "Agroecological Economics"
Academic Press | 2007-11-05 | ISBN: 0123741173 | 300 pages | PDF | 13,4 MB
Agroecology is the science of applying ecological concepts and principles to the design, development, and management of sustainable agricultural systems. Agroecological economics, a subsection of agricultural economics, evaluates the ecological consequences of agricultural methods on the economic scale. Agroecological economics considers green engineering as a means of measurement.

As the environmental movement unfolds, the importance of biodiversity and long-term sustainability are indisputable. Progress depends on determining the economic viability of terrestrial agroecosystems. What is lacking is the analysis needed to bring biodiverse and sustainable systems to fruition. Agroecological Economics analyzes the current topics that must be addressed in order to provide sustainable agricultural systems. It explains the economics of land-use ecology with emphasis on changing over from a conventional model of agriculture to environmentally- and ecologically-friendly models and the financial incentives that are important to these practices.

* Analyzes agricultural solutions with economic testing
* Includes a complete analysis of recent biodiversity-based research with valuable new economic methodologies
* Provides various applications to mitigate the problems which have economic and ecological effects on agroecosystems
* Offers applications of ecologically-sound land-use practices in production and manufacturing

Ralph Skomski, "Simple Models of Magnetism"
Oxford University Press, USA | 2008-03-15 | ISBN: 0198570759 | 336 pages | PDF | 2,2 MB
For hundreds of years, models of magnetism have been pivotal in the understanding and advancement of science and technology, from the Earth’s interpretation as a magnetic dipole to quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and modern nanotechnology. This book is the first to envision the field of magnetism in its entirety. It complements a rich literature on specific models of magnetism and provides an introduction to simple models, including some simple limits of complicated models. The book is written in an easily accessible style, with a limited amount of mathematics, and covers a wide range of quantum-mechanical, finite-temperature, micromagnetic and dynamical models. It deals not only with basic magnetic quantities, such as moment, Curie temperature, anisotropy, and coercivity, but also with modern areas such as nanomagnetism and spintronics, and with ‘exotic’ themes, as exemplified by the polymer analogy of magnetic phase transitions. Throughout the book, a sharp line is drawn between simple and simplistic models, and much space is devoted to discuss the merits and failures of the individual model approaches.
