Oracle Essentials; Oracle8 and Oracle8i
Authors: Rick Greenwald, Jonathan Stern, Robert Stackowiak
Venue:  (1999)

:The Oracle relational database management system (RDBMS) is an enormous system, with myriad technologies, options,and releases. Most users -- even experienced developers and database administrators -- find it difficult to get a handle onthe full scope of the Oracle system. And as each new version of the database is released, users find themselves underincreasing pressure to learn about a whole range of new technologies. This book distills the enormous amount of information about what Oracle is, where it came from, and what the latestreleases (Oracle8 and Oracle8i) do -- and packages it into a compact, easy-to-read volume filled with focused text,illustrations, and helpful hints for DBAs and developers. It explains what is new and important about Oracle'srevolutionary releases, Oracle8 (the "object-relational database") and Oracle8i (the "Internet database"). It covers suchtopics as overall system products, architecture, and data structures; installation, management, security, backup andrecovery, and tuning issues; and specific Oracle technologies such as data warehouses, online transaction processing(OLTP), and the system's interfaces to the Web. For each major concept, this book poses two basic questions about Oracle8/8i technology: why is it important, and howhas Oracle implemented it? The answers to these questions will provide the fundamentals for developing your own bestpractices for Oracle programming and administration.

Typesense: Making Sense of Type on the Computer, 2nd edition
Authors: Susan G. Wheeler, Gary S. Wheeler
Venue:  (2000)

:TypeSense demystifies typography and typesetting on the computer. It approaches typography and typesetting from a unique perspective - working from the broadest possible parameters of page typography of headlines, subheads, and captions, to the detail-strewn sentence typography of en dashes, small caps, and proofreaders' marks. This unique macro-to-micro approach is introduced by a brief exploration of typesetting history (from Gutenberg to PostScript) and an understanding of letter terminology (from serifs to spines). It concludes with an example-filled chapter of typography as illustration. Graphic designers, commercial artists, desktop publishers, publicists, or individuals working in the marketing, advertising, and design industries will benefit from finally having a single source to turn to, with easy-to-understand explanations, interesting historical detail, and practical typographic examples. TypeSense is organized so readers can find relevant information quickly. It answers the need for specifics - that consumer type specimen books and general how-to books often fail to satisfy. It answers commonly-asked questions, such as: Which typefaces go well together? What makes a type document reader-friendly? What type weight is appropriate for text? And more complex questions such as: When is it appropriate to kern? When are hyphens, en dashes, figure dashes, or em dashes used? How should numbers be set in text?

A mean value performance model for locking in databases: the waiting case
Authors: Y. C. Tay, R. Suri, N. Goodman
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

An earlier paper introduced a simple performance model for studying the behaviour of locking. That paper treats a highly simplified form of locking, called the no waiting case, in which transactions restart when they request locks that are already held by others. This analysis is now extended to the more realistic waiting case, in which transactions are allowed to wait for conflicting locks, and restart only if there is a deadlock. The analysis begins with a system that has uniform access and exclusive locks only. The model's predictions for this base system agree well with simulation results. Next, a system with nonuniform access and another with shareable locks are each shown to be reducible to the base system. A comparison of the waiting and no waiting cases yields a surprising result: the throughput for the no waiting case is often better than for the waiting case, and never much worse.

Authors: Mitsuo Gen, Runwei Cheng
Venue:  (1999)

:Genetic algorithms are probabilistic search techniques based on the principles of biological evolution. As a biological organism evolves to more fully adapt to its environment, a genetic algorithm follows a path of analysis from which a design evolves, one that is optimal for the environmental constraints placed upon it. Written by two internationally-known experts on genetic algorithms and artificial intelligence, this important book addresses one of the most important optimization techniques in the industrial engineering/manufacturing area, the use of genetic algorithms to better design and produce reliable products of high quality. The book covers advanced optimization techniques as applied to manufacturing and industrial engineering processes, focusing on combinatorial and multiple-objective optimization problems that are most encountered in industry.
IMAGE: a language for the interactive manipulation of a graphics environment
Authors: C. D. O'Brien, H. G. Bown
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1975)

This paper addresses itself to the problems involved in programming an interactive computer graphics display. A list of graphical programming facilities considered necessary for an interactive graphic programming language is presented. An examination of several application programs, written in a variety of existing languages, revealed that many of these facilities are usually lacking.This paper presents the design of a new interactive graphics language 'IMAGE', developed specifically to satisfy the above criteria. The language places particular emphasis on providing a graphics application programmer the ability to program graphical interaction. The 'IMAGE' language utilizes the better features of several current graphic languages and combines these features with a unique interaction control structure. This OBJECT / ACTION control structure, the display picture description syntax and the hardware independent handling of input devices are the main features of the language, providing excellent graphical input response and drawing facilities. The device independent input / output structure permits the implementation of a portable language syntax, since there are no references to display hardware devices. All display references are performed through a virtual terminal. This paper contains a detailed description of the main features of the language and these features are illustrated in an example 'IMAGE' program.

Random walk in an alcove of an affine Weyl group, and non-colliding random walks on an interval
Authors: David J. Grabiner
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2002)

We use a reflection argument, introduced by Gessel and Zeilberger, to count the number of k-step walks between two points which stay within a chamber of a Weyl group. We apply this technique to walks in the alcoves of the classical affine Weyl groups. In all cases, we get determinant formulas for the number of k-step walks. One important example is the region m > x1 &gt x2 > ... > xn > 0, which is a rescaled alcove of the affine Weyl group Cn. If each coordinate is considered to be an independent particle, this models n non-colliding random walks on the interval (0, m). Another case models n non-colliding random walks on a circle.

A Bayes Formula for Gaussian Noise Processes and its Applications
Authors: Pranab K. Mandal, V. Mandrekar
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

An elementary approach is used to derive a Bayes-type formula, extending the Kallianpur--Striebel formula for the nonlinear filters associated with the Gaussian noise processes. In the particular cases of certain Gaussian processes, recent results of Kunita and of Le Breton on fractional Brownian motion are derived. We also use the classical approximation of the Brownian motion by the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck dispersion process to solve the "instrumentability" problem of Balakrishnan. We give precise conditions for the convergence of the filter based on the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck dispersion process to the filter based on the Brownian motion. It is also shown that the solution of the Zakai equation can be approximated by that of a (deterministic) partial differential equation.

Creative Destruction: Business Survival Strategies in the Global
Authors: Lee W. McKnight, Raul Luciano Katz, Paul M. Vaaler
Venue:  (2001)

:More than fifty years ago, Joseph Schumpeter stated that processes intrinsic to a capitalist society produce a "creative destruction," whereby innovations destroy obsolete technologies, only to be assaulted in turn by newer and more efficient rivals. This book asks whether the current chaotic state of the telecommunications and related Internet industries is evidence of creative destruction, or simply a result of firms, governments, and others wasting valuable resources with limited benefits to society as a whole. In telecommunications, for example, wireless, IP, and cable-based technologies are all fighting for a share of the market currently dominated by older, circuit-switched, copper-terminated networks. This process is accompanied by mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, and investment and divestment in worldwide markets. The selections discuss the primary challenge facing firms, governments, and other players: how to exploit the opportunities created by such destructive dynamics. They highlight the importance of national regulations promoting competition and nonmonopolistic market structures, as well as the role of new technologies such as the Internet in driving down the price and speeding the diffusion of innovative products and services in telecommunications, media, electronic retailing, and other "new economy" industries.

Assembling virtual pots from 3D measurements of their fragments
Authors: David B. Cooper, Andrew Willis, Stuart Andrews, Jill Baker, Yan Cao, Dongjin Han, Kongbin Kang, Weixin Kong, Frederic F. Leymarie, Xavier Orriols, Senem Velipasalar, Eileen L. Vote, Martha S. Joukowsky, Benjamin B. Kimia, David H. Laidlaw, David Mumford
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on Virtual reality, archeology, and cultural heritage (2001)

A heretofore unsolved problem of great archaeological importance is the automatic assembly of pots made on a wheel from the hundreds (or thousands) of sherds found at an excavation site. An approach is presented to the automatic estimation of mathematical models of such pots from 3D measurements of sherds. The overall approach is formulated and described and some detail is provided on the elements of the procedure. The end result is a representation suitable for comparisons, geometric feature extraction, visualization and digital archiving. Matching of fragments and aligning them geometrically is based on matching break-curves (curves on a pot surface separating fragments), estimated axes and profile curves for individual fragments and groups of matched fragments, and a number of features of groups of break-curves. Pot assembly is a bottom-up maximum likelihood performance-based search. In our case, associated with subassemblies of fragments is a loglikelihood which is a sum of energy functions. Experiments are illustrated on pots which were broken for the purpose, and on sherds from an archaeological dig located in Petra, Jordan. The addressed problem and solution can be considered as problems in "geometric learning" and in "perceptual grouping," where subgroups of pot fragments at a site location are to be assembled into individual virtual pots and other fragments are to be discarded as clutter.
