Criminal Justice Research in Libraries and on the Internet
Authors: Bonnie R. Nelson
Venue:  (1997)

:Library research has changed dramatically since Marilyn Lutzker and Eleanor Ferrall's Criminal Justice Research in Libraries was published in 1986. In addition to covering the enduring elements of traditional research, this new edition provides full coverage of research using the World Wide Web, hypertext documents, computer indexes, and other online resources. It gives an in-depth explanation of such concepts as databases, networks, and full text, and the Internet gets a full chapter. The chapters on bibliographic searching, the library catalog, and comparative research are almost completely new, and chapters on indexes and abstracts, newsletters, newspapers and news broadcasts, documents, reports and conference proceedings, and statistics reflect the shift to computerized sources. The chapter on legal resources discusses the wealth of legal information available on the Internet. This book is a valuable guide for both students and scholars wishing to research criminal justice.
Blown to Bits: How the New Economics of Information Transforms Strategy
Authors: bn.com review, Thomas S. Wurster
Venue:  (1999)

:Richness or reach? The trade-off used to be simple but absolute: Your business strategy either could focus on "rich" informationcustomized products and services tailored to a niche audienceor could reach out to a larger market, but with watered-down information that sacrificed richness in favor of a broad, general appeal. Much of business strategy as we know it today rests on this fundamental trade-off. Now, say Evans and Wurster, the new economics of information is eliminating the trade-off between richness and reach, blowing apart the foundations of traditional business strategy. With the spread of connectivity and common standards, your customers will increasingly have rich access to a universe of alternatives, your suppliers will exploit direct access to your customers, and focused competitors will pick off the most profitable parts of your value chain. According to Blown to Bits, your business definition, industry definition, and competitive advantage are simultaneously up for grabs. With an uncompromising clarity and vivid examples, Blown to Bits is targeted squarely at today's practicing business and corporate leaders. This groundbreaking book shows how to build new strategies that reflect a world where richness and reach go hand in hand, and explains how to take advantage of the new forces shaping competitive advantage.
On the complexity and axiomatizability of consistent database states
Authors: Marc H. Graham, Moshe Y. Vardi
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

A database is consistent with respect to a set &sigma; of dependencies if it has a weak instance. A weak instance is a universal relation that satisfies &Sigma;, and whose projections on the relation schemes are supersets of the relations in the database. In this paper we investigate the complexity of testing consistency and the logics that can axiomatize consistency, relative to a fixed set &Sigma; of dependencies. If &Sigma; is allowed to include embedded dependencies, then consistency can be non-recursive. If &Sigma; consists only of total dependencies, then consistency can be tested in polynomial time. The degree of the polynomial can, however, be arbitrarily high. Consistency can be axiomatized but not finitely axiomatized by equality generating dependencies. If embedded dependencies are allowed then consistency cannot be finitely axiomatized by any effective logic. If, on the other hand, only total dependencies are allowed then consistency can be finitely axiomatized by fixpoint logic.

Dynamic Iteration Using Reduced Order Models: A Method for Simulation of Large Scale Modular Systems
Authors: Muruhan Rathinam, Linda R. Petzold
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

We describe a new iterative method, dynamic iteration using reduced order models (DIRM), for simulation of large scale modular systems using reduced order models that preserve the interconnection structure. This method may be compared to the waveform relaxation technique; however, unlike DIRM, waveform relaxation does not take advantage of model reduction techniques. The DIRM method involves simulating in turn each subsystem connected to model reduced versions of the other subsystems. The data from this simulation is then used to update the reduced model for that particular subsystem. We provide analytical results on convergence and accuracy of the DIRM method as well as numerical examples that demonstrate the success of DIRM and verify the analysis.
Optical and electrochromic properties of annealed Lithium-Molybdenum-Bronze thin films
Authors: Zahid Hussain
Venue: Journal of Electronic Materials (2002)

Optical band gaps, Urbach inverse slopes, and coloration bands of various samples of annealed, microcrystalline LixMoO3-bronze thin films in the concentration range 0 < x < 0.6 were determined over the photon energy range from 0.4 eV to 4.2 eV. On investigation, it is learned that the measured, optical band gaps do not shift rigidly over the annealing temperature range 293 ≤ T ≤ 423 K and, therefore, do not reveal the Burstein-Moss effect or reflect any stable, crystallographic phase transformation during any investigated annealing cycle. A model relating the temperature-dependent optical gap to the real part of the refractive index has also been developed, and this model fits very well to the annealed data within a maximum error of about 20%. Next, using an oscillator model, a phonon energy of ∼0.08 eV was obtained, which is very close to the characteristic phonon energy of the material, MoO3. Using this model, it becomes more certain that the contributions to the Urbach absorption edge for the annealed-molybdenum bronzes are coming from the structural and compositional disorder. In another finding, it was found that the absorption-peak energy for the annealed data was about 1.5-1.6 eV, which is still broad and asymmetrical, and therefore, it is almost of the Mo6+ (or Mo4+)-Mo5+ intervalence or polaronic type. Using the polaron model, the half-bandwidth of the coloration bands of investigated, annealed LixMoO3-thin films was found to be almost constant, which is consistent with the nonrigid band behavior.

Mathematical and numerical modeling of two-phase compressible flows with micro-inertia
Authors: Sergey Gavrilyuk, Richard Saurel
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2002)

A new model with full coupling between micro- and macroscale motion is developed for compressible multiphase mixtures. The equations of motion and the coupling microstructural equation (an analogue of the Rayleigh-Lamb equation) are obtained by using the Hamilton principle of stationary action. In the particular case of bubbly fluids, the resulting model contains eight partial differential equations (one-dimensional case) and is unconditionally hyperbolic. The equations are solved numerically by an adapted Godunov method. The model and methods are validated for two very different test problems. The first one consists of a wave propagating in a liquid containing a small quantity of gas bubbles. Computed oscillating shock waves fit perfectly the experimental data. Then the one-dimensional multiphase model is used as a reduction tool for the multidimensional interaction of a shock wave with a large bubble. Good agreement is again obtained.

Java: A Framework for Program Design and Data Structures, 1st edition
Authors: Kenneth A. Lambert, Martin Osborne
Venue:  (2000)

:This book focuses on traditional CS2 data structures topics, while developing object-oriented programs. The software life cycle is emphasized throughout, with numerous case studies of varying size and complexity. The first half of the book covers program design with classes, inheritance, polymorphism, recursion, and complexity analysis. The second half of the book covers the standard abstract data types (ADTs)  stack, queue, list, tree, set, table, and graph  including discussions of different implementations, applications, and the complexity of each ADT. Wherever possible, the book uses the abstract data types in the Java 2 Collections Framework. A final chapter on multithreading and synchronization provides a transition to follow-on courses in computer science. The book provides two unique add-on software packages that enable students to build easy graphical user interfaces, and extend the Java 2 Collections Framework to include all the relevant abstract data types. Any CS2/Java book must deal with this Java 2 Collections Framework to be fully functional and up-to-date, and this new text from Lambert and Osborne does just that.
