Database Management Systems, 3 edition
Authors: Raghu Ramakrishnan, Johannes Gehrke
Venue:  (2002)

Database Management Systems provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the fundamentals of database systems. Coherent explanations and practical examples have made this one of the leading texts in the field. The third edition continues in this tradition, enhancing it with more practical material. The new edition has been reorganized to allow more flexibility in the way the course is taught. Now, instructors can easily choose whether they would like to teach a course which emphasizes database application development or a course that emphasizes database systems issues. New overview chapters at the beginning of parts make it possible to skip other chapters in the part if you don't want the detail. More applications and examples have been added throughout the book, including SQL and Oracle examples. The applied flavor is further enhanced by the two new database applications chapters.Table of contents1 Foundations1 Overview of Database Systems2 Introduction to Database Design3 The Relational Model4 Relational Algebra and Calculus5 SQL: Queries, Constraints, Triggers2 Application Development6 Database Application Development 7 Internet Applications3 Storage and Indexing8 Overview of Storage and Indexing9 Storing Data: Disks and Files10 Tree-Structured Indexing 11 Hash-Based Indexing 4 Query Evaluation12 Overview of Query Evaluation13 External Sorting14 Evaluating Relational Operators15 A Typical Relational Query Optimizer5 Transaction Management16 Overview of Transaction Management17 Concurrency Control18 Crash Recovery6 Database Design and Tuning19 Schema Refinement and Normal Forms20 Physical Database Design and Tuning21 Security and Authorization7 Additional Topics22 Parallel and Distributed Databases23 Object-Database Systems24 Deductive Databases25 Data Warehousing and Decision Support26 Data Mining27 Information Retrieval and XML Data28 Spatial Data Management29 Further Reading 30 The Minibase Software

The 11 Immutable Laws of Internet Branding
Authors: Al Ries, Laura Ries
Venue:  (2000)

:As we move into the twenty-first century the most important question for businesses everywhere is: What are we going to do about the Internet? The two most qualified people in the country to answer that question may be Al Ries and Laura Ries. Not only are they the authors of the BusinessWeek bestseller The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding, they are also consultants to dozens of Fortune 500 companies. This book is the result of their hands-on work with both large and small companies as well as Internet start-ups and established Internet brands. Brash, bold, and mercifully succinct, The 11 Immutable Laws of Internet Branding is the definitive text for businesses eager to jump on the Internet expressway. In the book you'll learn why: The Internet can be a business or a medium for your brand, but not both. Interactivity is the single most important ingredient of any Internet site. The kiss of death for an Internet brand is a common name. Being second in a category is tantamount to being nowhere. You have to be fast. You have to be first. You have to be focused. Everyone is talking about convergence while just the opposite is happening. The 11 Immutable Laws of Internet Branding will also give you tangible information on how to successfully build your company, product, service, or self into a hot and profitable brand on the Internet. Specifically you'll learn how to: Build a brand that will dominate a category over an extended period of time. Find a proper name (instead of a common one) for your Website. Take your brand into the global marketplace. Avoid the biggest mistake in Internet branding: the belief that you can do everything. Take advantage of the transformations that will occur in all aspects of life, thanks to the power of the Internet. With characteristic counterculture observations and signature marketing savvy, Ries and Ries bring their expertise to branding on the Internet, the most challenging problem in the world of marketing today. No one who wants to turn a brand into a global phenomenon should ignore their sage advice.

Venue:  (1993)

:With all the clarity and hands-on practicality of the best-selling first edition,this revised version explains the ins and outs of SPICE,plus gives new data on modeling advanced devices such as MESFETs,ISFETs,and thyristors. And because it's the only book that describes the models themselves,it helps readers gain maximum value from SPICE,rather than just telling them how to run the program. This guide is also distinctive in covering both MOS and FET models. Step by step,it takes the reader through the modeling process,providing complete information on a variety of semiconductor devices for designing specific circuit applications. These include: Pn junction and Schottky diodes; bipolar junction transistor (BJT); junction field effect transistor (JFET); metal oxide semiconductor transistor (MOST); metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET); ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET); semiconductor controlled rectifier (SCR-thyristor).
A New Perspective on Kinetic Schemes
Authors: Michael Junk
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

Compared to standard numerical methods for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, kinetic schemes model propagation of information by particles instead of waves. In this article, the wave and the particle concept are shown to be closely related. Moreover, a general approach to the construction of kinetic schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws is given that summarizes several approaches discussed by other authors.

Windows NT Workstation Maintenance Configuration
Authors: Ashley J. Meggitt, Matthew M. Lavy
Venue:  (1999)

:Anyone faced with the task of setting up and managing a large number of workstations quickly learns the limitations of a graphical user interface. Ashley Meggitt and Matthew Lavy manage the LAN at Jesus College, Cambridge, and they've developed a number of scripts and techniques to bypass the GUI limitations and administer the workstations centrally. The result is Windows NT Workstation Configuration and Maintenance, the only book on the market to focus on automating the management tasks you perform daily to keep a large workstation farm up and running. Instead of trying to provide one-size-fits-all solutions to what are in reality site-specific kinds of problems, the authors concentrate on the techniques you need to master to keep your workstations under control. Their step-by-step approach shows you how to implement Perl scripts to take care of your particular problems. Topics include: Running scripts without user intervention Remote script installation Controlling services and drivers Machine-specific settings Changing network identity Perl modules and functions Developing custom Perl modules Windows NT Workstation Configuration and Maintenance is an indispensable tool for the busy NT system administrator.

The Polygon Exploration Problem
Authors: Frank Hoffmann, Christian Icking, Rolf Klein, Klaus Kriegel
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We present an on-line strategy that enables a mobile robot with vision to explore an unknown simple polygon. We prove that the resulting tour is less than 26.5 times as long as the shortest watchman tour that could be computed off-line.Our analysis is doubly founded on a novel geometric structure called angle hull. Let D be a connected region inside a simple polygon, P. We define the angle hull of D, ${\cal AH}(D)$, to be the set of all points in P that can see two points of D at a right angle. We show that the perimeter of ${\cal AH}(D)$ cannot exceed in length the perimeter of D by more than a factor of 2. This upper bound is tight.
New Algorithmic Aspects of the Local Lemma with Applications to Routing and Partitioning
Authors: Tom Leighton, Chi-Jen Lu, Satish Rao, Aravind Srinivasan
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

The Lovász local lemma (LLL) is a powerful tool that is increasingly playing a valuable role in computer science. The original lemma was nonconstructive; a breakthrough of Beck and its generalizations (due to Alon and Molloy and Reed) have led to constructive versions. However, these methods do not capture some classes of applications of the LLL. We make progress on this by providing algorithmic approaches to two families of applications of the LLL. The first provides constructive versions of certain applications of an extension of the LLL (modeling, e.g., hypergraph-partitioning and low-congestion routing problems); the second provides new algorithmic results on constructing disjoint paths in graphs. Our results can also be seen as constructive upper bounds on the integrality gap of certain packing problems. One common theme of our work is a "gradual rounding" approach.
The Effective Energy Transformation Scheme as a Special Continuation Approach to Global Optimization with Application to Molecular Conformation
Authors: Zhijun Wu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1996)

This paper discusses a generalization of the function transformation scheme used in Coleman, Shalloway, and Wu [Comput. Optim. Appl., 2 (1993), pp. 145--170; J. Global Optim., 4 (1994), pp. 171--185] and Shalloway [Global Optimization, C. Floudas and P. Pardalos, eds., Princeton University Press, 1992, pp. 433--477; Global Optim., 2 (1992), pp. 281--311] for global energy minimization applied to the molecular conformation problem. A mathematical theory for the method as a special continuation approach to global optimization is established. We show that the method can transform a nonlinear objective function into a class of gradually deformed, but ``smoother'' or ``easier'' functions. An optimization procedure can then be successively applied to the new functions to trace their solutions back to the original function. Two types of transformation are defined: isotropic and anisotropic. We show that both transformations can be applied to a large class of nonlinear partially separable functions, including energy functions for molecular conformation. Methods to compute the transformation for these functions are given.
Coordination in an Email Game without ``Almost Common Knowledge''
Authors: Nicola Dimitri
Venue: Journal of Logic, Language and Information (2002)

The paper presents a variation of the EMAIL Game, originally proposed by Rubinstein (American Economic Review, 1989), in which coordination of the more rewarding-risky joint course of actions is shown to obtain, even when the relevant game is, at most, ``mutual knowledge.'' In the example proposed, a mediator is introduced in such a way that two individuals are symmetrically informed, rather than asymmetrically as in Rubinstein, about the game chosen by nature. As long as the message failure probability is sufficiently low, with the upper bound being a function of the game payoffs, conditional beliefs in the opponent's actions can allow players to choose a more rewarding-risky action. The result suggests that, for efficient coordination to obtain, the length of interactive knowledge on the game, possibly up to ``almost common knowledge,'' does not seem to be a major conceptual issue and that emphasis should be focused instead on the communication protocol and an appropriate relationship between the reliability of communication channels and the payoffs at stake.

On Bipartite Drawings and the Linear Arrangement Problem
Authors: Farhad Shahrokhi, Ondrej Sýkora, László A. Székely, Imrich Vrto
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2001)

The bipartite crossing number problem is studied and a connection between this problem and the linear arrangement problem is established. A lower bound and an upper bound for the optimal number of crossings are derived, where the main terms are the optimal arrangement values. Two polynomial time approximation algorithms for the bipartite crossing number are obtained. The performance guarantees are O(log n) and O(log2 n) times the optimal, respectively, for a large class of bipartite graphs on n vertices. No polynomial time approximation algorithm which could generate a provably good solution had been known. For a tree, a formula is derived that expresses the optimal number of crossings in terms of the optimal value of the linear arrangement and the degrees, resulting in an O(n1.6) time algorithm for computing the bipartite crossing number.The problem of computing a maximum weight biplanar subgraph of an acyclic graph is also studied and a linear time algorithm for solving it is derived. No polynomial time algorithm for this problem was known, and the unweighted version of the problem had been known to be NP-hard, even for planar bipartite graphs of degree at most 3.

Microelectronic Circuits: Analysis and Design, 1st edition
Authors: Muhammed H. Rashid
Venue:  (1998)

:MICROELECTRONIC CIRCUITS: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN combines a "breadth-first" approach to teaching electronics with a strong emphasis on electronics design and simulation. Professor Rashid first introduces students to the general characteristics of circuits (ICs) to prepare them for the use of circuit design and analysis techniques. He then moves on to a more detailed study of devices and circuits and how they operate within ICs. This approach makes the text easily adaptable to both one- and two-term electronics courses. Students gain a strong systems perspective, and can readily fill in device-level detail as the course (and their job) requires. In addition, Rashid - author of five successful texts on PSpice and power electronics - directly addresses students' needs for applying theory to real-world design problems and mastering the use of PSpice for testing and verifying their designs. More than 50% of the problems and examples in the text concentrate on design, with PSpice used extensively in the design problems.
