PhotoShop Type Effects: Visual Encyclopedia
Authors: Roger Pring
Venue:  (2002)

:This book is divided into two main sections. It begins with an overview of the type-handling qualities of Photoshop. The improvements in this area make the program much more useful as a design tool; even longtime Photoshop operators are likely to find novelties here. The section concludes with a look at type effects in normal use, together with a collection of real-world type examples. The main Encyclopedia section has 72 different effects, organized into groups according to their nearest real-world equivalent. So, looking for a way to simulate skywriting, for example, go to the "Atmospheric Effects" heading, or scan "Solid Effects" for lookalike wood or stone. Alternatively, just dip in. Many pages have alternative effects described more briefly. The section ends with a flourish of uncategorizable items grouped as "Mood Effects." And don't neglect the Appendix -- there's a comprehensive (and very timesaving) show of all the built-in Photoshop filters and type actions. You'll also find the regular actions applied to type, examples of the effects produced by ready-made third-party actions, as well a survey of the most useful third-party filters and plug-ins. Speed enthusiasts can brush up their keyboard skills at the back of the book with all the Photoshop shortcuts laid out for both Macintosh and Windows platforms.

Internet Marketing: Integrating Online and Offline Strategies
Authors: Mary Lou Roberts
Venue:  (2002)

:Internet Marketing: Integrating Online and Offline Strategies asserts that while the Internet is a transformational innovation, pure Internet firms do not represent the future of the Internet, as failures in recent history attest. This text builds upon the fact that the future of the Internet lies in the activities of organizations large and smallin all market spacesthat use the Internet to improve service to customers and increase organizational productivity. Many powerful e-marketers predate the Internet, have strong brand identities, and use the Internet wisely to broaden the set of options, across the marketing and logistics mix that they can offer to their customers, suppliers, and partners. The underlying paradigm in the text visualizes the Internet as a significant new channel for communications and transactions that needs to be integrated into enterprise marketing strategies. In this process, businesses are transformed from isolated entities into extended enterprises-organizations whose boundaries have become permeable, admitting both suppliers and customers into many parts of the corporate information repository and requiring their participation in many aspects of daily operations.

The Order Dimension of Planar Maps
Authors: Graham R. Brightwell, William T. Trotter
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (1997)

This is a sequel to a previous paper entitled The Order Dimension of Convex Polytopes, by the same authors [SIAM J. Discrete Math., 6 (1993), pp. 230--245]. In that paper, we considered the poset {{\bf P}\protect\boldmath$_M\!\!\!$} formed by taking the vertices, edges, and faces of a 3-connected planar map {\bf M}, ordered by inclusion, and showed that the order dimension of {{\bf P}\protect\boldmath$_M\!\!\!$} is always equal to 4. In this paper, we show that if {\bf M} is any planar map, then the order dimension of {{\bf P}\protect\boldmath$_M\!\!\!$} is still at most 4.
A note on SCSI bus waits
Authors: Alexandre Brandwajn
Venue: ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (2002)

In the SCSI-2 standard, the unique IDs of devices on the bus define a fixed priority whenever several devices compete for the use of the bus. Although the more recent SCSI-3 standard specifies an additional fair arbitration mode, it leaves such fair mode an optional feature. Despite a number of allusions to potential unfairness of the traditional SCSI bus arbitration scattered in the trade literature, there seem to be few formal studies to quantify this unfairness.In this paper, we propose a simple model of SCSI bus acquisition in which devices on the bus are viewed as sources of requests with fixed non-preemptive priorities. We use the model to assess the expected extent of unfairness, as measured by the mean bus wait, under varying load conditions. Effects of tagged command queueing are not considered in this note. Numerical results obtained with our model show that there is little unfairness as long as the workload is balanced across devices and the bus utilization is relatively low. Interestingly, even for medium bus utilization a significant fraction of bus requests find the bus free which might correlate with the service rounds noted in a recent experimental study. For unbalanced loads and higher bus utilization, the expected wait for the bus experienced by lowest priority devices can become significantly larger than the one experienced by highest priority device. This appears to be especially true if the higher priority devices have higher I/O rates and occupy the bus for longer periods. As might be expected, even for balanced workloads, unfairness tends to increase with the number of devices on the bus.
Radiant Textuality: Literature after the World Wide Web
Authors: Jerome McGann
Venue:  (2001)

:Jerome McGann has been at the forefront of the digital revolution in the humanities. His pioneering critical projects on the World Wide Web have redefined traditional notions about interpreting literature. In this trailblazing book, McGann explores the profound implications digital media have for the core critical tasks of the humanities. Drawing on his work as editor of the acclaimed hypertext project The Rossetti Archive, he sets the foundation for a new critical practice for the digital age. Digital media, he demonstrates, can do much more than organize access to great works of literature and art. Beyond their acknowledged editorial and archival capabilities, digital media are also critical tools of unprecedented power. In McGann's practical vision, digital tools give scholars a flexible, dynamic means for interpreting expressive works -- especially those that combine text and image. Radiant Textuality demonstrates eloquently how new technologies can deepen our understanding of complex, multi-layered works of the human imagination in ways never before thought possible.

Beginning ASP.NET Using C#, 1st edition
Authors: Rob Birdwell, Ajoy Krishnamoorthy, Christoph Miller, Ollie Cornes, Juan T. Llibre, Chris Goode
Venue:  (2001)

:ASP.NET is the latest incarnation of Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) - a powerful server-based technology, designed to create dynamic and interactive HTML pages for your Web site, or corporate intranet. ASP.NET also constitutes a core element in Microsoft's .NET vision, providing web-based access to an immensely powerful new development environment, .NET; in this respect alone, it's a great leap ahead of all previous versions of ASP. This book will provide you with a step-by-step introduction to ASP.NET using C#, with plenty of worked examples that will help you to gain a deep understanding of what ASP.NET is all about, and how you can harness it to build powerful web applications. Wrox has published two editions of Beginning ASP.NET, one presenting code samples in C#, the other in VB.NET, with sample downloads available in both languages. This book covers: Creating basic ASP.NET pages Learning the basics of C# Understanding the concepts of Object Oriented Programming Working with Data and XML The ASP.NET Server Controls Creating User Controls and Components Exploring the world of Web Services Configuring your ASP.NET Applications The future of VoiceXML technologies, including VoiceXML 2.0 This book is aimed at relatively inexperienced web builders who are looking to enrich their sites with dynamically-generated content, and want to learn how to start building web applications using ASP.NET. Developers who have a little experience with previous versions of ASP (and are looking to move over to ASP.NET), may also find this book helpful in getting a simple grasp on what ASP.NET is, what it does, and how it can be used. Experience of basic HTML is required, but previous experience of ASP is not essential. We'll be teaching the basics of C# in this book, so prior experience of C# is not required.
On the Structure of Some Spaces of Tilings
Authors: Eric Rémila
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2003)

We study the structure of the set of tilings of a polygon P with bars of fixed length. We obtain an undirected graph connecting two tilings if one can pass from one tile to the other one by a flip (i.e., a local replacement of tiles).Using algebraic tools (such as tiling groups and their quotients and subgroups), we give a formula to compute the distance in this graph (i.e., the minimal number of necessary flips) between two tilings. Moreover, we prove that, for each pair (T, T') of tilings, the set $\Upsilon_{T, T'}$ consisting of tilings which are in a path of minimal length from T to T' canonically has a structure of distributive lattice.

For individuals seeking an introduction to object-oriented programming using C++.
An integrated platform for reliable multicast support in the regional mobile-IP environment
Authors: Hassan Omar, Tarek Saadawi, Myung Lee
Venue: ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review (2002)

Supporting reliable delivery of multicast datagrams, in IP networks, may necessitate the introduction of new elements and features. Further, considerable additional signaling may be required to support this service. Providing a platform that efficiently supports IP multicast delivery, in an environment where the multicast group members frequently change their locations, is a challenge for systems supporting mobility. In this paper, we describe a platform that allows the application of an internal reliable multicast delivery scheme in the regional registration mobile-IP domain. The proposed datagram local delivery scheme allows interoperability with other external reliable multicast protocols. The described platform capitalizes on existing elements that support the multicast service, avoiding the introduction of new elements. Additional signaling messages are minimized, taking advantage of the inherent characteristics of local registration structure. We identify schemes to retrieve datagrams lost due to links congestion, host mobility and agent failure. Aggregated and expedited retransmission request types are introduced to achieve better performance in responding to datagrams loss events. A simple adaptive flow control scheme is considered to take advantage of the characteristics associated with the regional registration environment. Also, aspects of the reliable delivery support that can be leveraged to provide QoS are demonstrated. Performance aspects such as average delay in retrieving lost datagrams and the effect on the multicast source are demonstrated under different conditions, using simulation.
