Peter Hodson, "Local Area Networks"
English | 2003 | ISBN: 0826458661, 1858051339 | PDF | pages: 282 | 31.2 mb
This is a straight update of the 3rd edition of this successful textbook. The aim of the book is to provide a course text for the networking element required by most degree and BTEC Higher National courses in computing. The book covers both the key concepts for understanding local area networks alongside more practical issues such as cabling structures and interconnections of networks. The solid technical content coupled with discussion of the real issues of relevance in practice means the book can be used as a core text to support courses taught through traditional lectures or can be used for self-learning. The book includes both short questions with answers at the end of each chapter and further, longer questions which range in difficulty from the more simple tutorial questions to full examination questions. Answers to the latter are supplied in a lecturersupplement, while the former reinforce studentÂ's learning and contribute to the stand alone, self-learning aspects of the chapters.

The Ch'orti' Maya Area: Past and Present By Brent E. Metz (editor), Cameron L. McNeil (editor), Kerry M. Hull (editor)
2009 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0813033314 | PDF | 3 MB
"An essential addition to the bookshelves of Mayanists and anyone interested in long-term processes of culture change."--Edward Schortman, Kenyon College"Spans time, space, and disciplines to present well-rounded and actively contested views of the southeastern Guatemala and the northern frontier areas of Honduras and El Salvador. The diversity of the authors and their themes brings something for every reader, including the Ch'orti'."--Judith M. Maxwell, Tulane UniversityThe Ch'orti' area--located in present-day Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador--was once the southernmost region of the ancient Maya world. Though thousands of years of tumultuous change have altered the face of the region drastically, many Ch'orti' have preserved their identity and maintained strong cultural ties to their past, and the region generally continues to practice traditions with Ch'orti' roots.The Ch'orti's' connection with the Maya past and modern-day struggles with poverty and cultural encroachment have made the once little-studied Ch'orti' an important subject of anthropological research. The Ch'orti' Maya Area presents a holistic, multidisciplinary and long-term look at these people, their culture, and the region itself. Highlighting research from leading scholars around the globe, this collection is an impressive exploration of the history of human habitation in the area from approximately 3,000 years ago to the present.

Peter I. Kattan, "Ratio of Surface Area to Volume in Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"
English | 2011 | ASIN: B005T1S6JC | EPUB | pages: 63 | 0.8 mb
This is a concise article detailing the derivations of precise and exact equations for the ratio of surface area to volume for certain geometrical shapes. This ratio is very important in nanomaterials as the noticed increase in this ratio provides these types of materials with distinct properties from their bulk counterparts. The ratio of surface area to volume (called SAVR in this work) plays a very important role in nanotechnology and nanoscience. This ratio is calculated here for various simple geometrical shapes including the cube, the sphere, the cylinder, the cone, four types of prisms, four types of pyramids, the tetrahedron, the octahedron, the dodecahedron, and the icosahedron. In addition to calculating SAVR, the article provides also numerical examples of this calculation showing the increase in this ratio for the cube, the sphere, the cylinder, and the cone. This calculation is enhanced with various tables and graphs for SAVR. The article is the first in our new series on basic nanomechanics. The reader is expected to know the basic mathematical concepts and equations taught in beginning courses of algebra and geometry.

Home Area Networks and IPTV By Jean?Gabriel Remy, Charlotte Letamendia(auth.)
2011 | 277 Pages | ISBN: 184821295X | PDF | 7 MB
The field of Home Area Networks (HAN), a dedicated residential subset of LAN technologies for home-based use, is fast becoming the next frontier for the communications industry. This book describes the various technologies involved in the implementation of a HAN: high-speed Internet connections, indoor implementations, services, software, and management packages. It also reviews multimedia applications (which are increasingly the most important and complex aspects of most HANs) with a detailed description of IPTV technology. It highlights the main technologies used for HANs: information transmission by means of copper pairs, coaxial cables, fiber optics, and Wi-Fi radio systems, as well as the software systems necessary for the processing and management of these data communications. These technologies - examples of which include the well-known 802.11 family of standards, and less widespread applications such as the HomePlug powerline standard - are highly relevant to multimedia, remote healthcare, remote working, energy, and device management in the home. The book is written for engineers working in the field, or who are interested in high-speed communication technologies and their actual or potential use in the home or in the small - medium size enterprise (SME) commercial environment.Content: Chapter 1 Services Offered by Home Area Networks (pages 1-18): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 2 Receiving Television via Internet (pages 19-60): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 3 Household Internet Connections (pages 61-154): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 4 Home Area Network Technologies (pages 155-206): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 5 Software Structure used in Home Area Networks (pages 207-236): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 6 Software Structures in Use for Home Area Networks (pages 237-246): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 7 Service Platforms (pages 247-258): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte Letamendia

History and Regional Area Studies of Hachioji: Tokyo's Western Frontier by Tai Wei Lim
English | EPUB | 2022 | 117 Pages | ISBN : 9811661774 | 8.2 MB
This book looks at the case study of Hachioji as a major transit hub with a world-class public transportation system in Japan. It tracks how Tokyo slowly expands into its suburban, rural or sub-rural districts. It also wants to profile the multiple identities of a city that is simultaneously an ecological asset, a heritage locale in addition to a logistics hub. The volume is probably the first of its kind to analyze the western sector of the largest city in the world.

Microelectronic packaging has been recognized as an important "enabler" for the solid state revolution in electronics which we have witnessed in the last third of the twentieth century. Packaging has provided the necessary external wiring and interconnection capability for transistors and integrated circuits while they have gone through their own spectacular revolution from discrete device to gigascale integration.

Grant Cameron, Scott Crain, "UFOs, Area 51, and Government Informants: A Report on Government Involvement in UFO Crash Retrievals"
English | 2021 | ASIN: B0916JQDCS | 340 pages | AZW3 / MOBI | 8 MB
This is one of the most important books ever written on the clandestine world of the UFO cover-up. Grant Cameron and Scott Crain do more than demonstrate the reality of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth. Through tenacious investigation and impeccable research, they shine a light into the CIA, NSA, Air Force, Navy, and other inside groups that have managed this secret for decades. Their conclusion is inescapable and shocking: this is a secret that the insiders themselves struggle to understand and contain. "Government agencies, at various times, perceive a need to release some UFO information to the public. Some, definitely not all. How do they do it? Always via avenues that leave no one at risk. That means ensuring there is no direct connection between the agency and whomever is doing the actual releasing. It also means the necessity of mixing in some false information. It means, ultimately, to tell the truth, but tell it with a slant. Until there is a full disclosure of the UFO/ET reality, deniability will remain paramount to those in possession of this great secret." - By the authors, from the book's Introduction.
