Возьмите бокал или стакан и налейте до краев водой. Как вы думаете, сколько булавок или копеечных монет можно опуститьв бокал, чтобы при этом ни одна капля не пролилась из бокала? Десять, двадцать, пятьдесят? Можно, оказывается, в десять раз больше! Не верите, попробуйте сами, только булавки опускайте осторожно и стоймя, а монеты ребром, Вода вздуется над стаканом, но, блаrодаря поверхностной пленке, не выльется.

Эта книга – подробное руководство по бухгалтерскому и налоговому учету тех видов расходов, которые встречаются в практике любой организации. Особенность книги в том, что автор уделяет внимание не только налогу на прибыль, но и всем другим налогам, исчисление которых связано с конкретными видами расходов. Например, при осуществлении представительских расходов проблемы возникают не только с признанием в целях налогообложения прибыли, но и с определением налоговой базы по ЕСН и НДФЛ.

Michael Meier :Intrusion Detection effektiv! Modellierung und Analyse von Angriffsmustern
German | PDF | 209 Seiten | Springer, Berlin; Auflage: 1 (Februar 2007) | ISBN: 3540482512 | ~1,5 MB
Zum Schutz von IT-Systemen vor Angriffen werden vermehrt Intrusion-Detection-Systeme eingesetzt, die eine Missbrauchserkennung realisieren, indem beobachtete Systemereignisse mit bekannten Angriffsmustern verglichen werden. Der praktische Einsatz dieser Systeme ist häufig von Fehlalarmen und nicht entdeckten Angriffen geprägt, deren Ursache in unzureichenden Angriffsmustern liegt.Der Autor stellt Ansätze zur Steigerung der Wirksamkeit von Missbrauchserkennung im praktischen Einsatz vor. Er untersucht systematisch Anforderungen an die Repräsentation von Angriffsmustern und entwickelt einen an Petri-Netze angelehnten Ansatz zur graphischen Modellierung, Veranschaulichung und Erkennung von Angriffsmustern. Der Vergleich von Erkennungsverfahren und die Darstellung von Optimierungsstrategien zur Steigerung der Erkennungseffizienz runden das Buch ab.

Turing Machines with Sublogarithmic Space

Andrzej Szepietowski “Turing Machines with Sublogarithmic Space "
Springer | 1994-09-29 | ISBN: 3540583556 | 115 pages | PDF | 5,8 Mb
This comprehensive monograph investigates the computational power of Turing machines with sublogarithmic space. The studies are devoted to the Turing machine model introduced by Stearns, Hartmanis, and Lewis (1965) with a two-way read-only input tape and a separate two-way read-write work tape. The book presents the key results on space complexity, also as regards the classes of languages acceptable, under the perspective of a sublogarithmic number of cells used during computation. It originates from courses given by the author at the Technical University of Gdansk and Gdansk University in 1991 and 1992. It was finalized in 1994 when the author visited Paderborn University and includes the most recent contributions to the field.

Designing Information Technology in the Postmodern Age: From Method to Metaphor

Richard Coyne “Designing Information Technology in the Postmodern Age: From Method to Metaphor"
The MIT Press | 1995-09-28 | ISBN:0262032287 | PDF | 408 pages | 1,8 Mb
Designing Information Technology in the Postmodern Age puts the theoretical discussion of computer systems and information technology on a new footing. Shifting the discourse from its usual rationalistic framework, Richard Coyne shows how the conception, development, and application of computer systems is challenged and enhanced by postmodern philosophical thought. He places particular emphasis on the theory of metaphor, showing how it has more to offer than notions of method and models appropriated from science.
Coyne examines the entire range of contemporary philosophical thinking -- including logical positivism, analytic philosophy, pragmatism, phenomenology, critical theory, hermeneutics, and deconstruction -- comparing them and showing how they differ in their consequences for design and development issues in electronic communications, computer representation, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and multimedia. He also probes the claims made of information technology, including its presumptions of control, its so-called radicality, even its ability to make virtual worlds, and shows that many of these claims are poorly founded.
Among the writings Coyne visits are works by Heidegger, Adorno, Benjamin, Gadamer, Derrida, Habermas, Rorty, and Foucault. He relates their views to information technology designers and critics such as Herbert Simon, Alan Kay, Terry Winograd, Hubert Dreyfus, and Joseph Weizenbaum. In particular, Coyne draws extensively from the writing of Martin Heidegger, who has presented one of the most radical critiques of technology to date.
