Actuarial Firms: Hewitt Associates $10.37 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Hewitt Associates – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Founded: 1940 as Edwin Shields Hewitt and Associates NAIC: 541214 Payroll Services; 541612 Human Resources and Executive Search Consulting Services; 561310 Employment Placement Services; 561320 Temporary Help Services; 561330 Professional Employer Organizations SIC: 7361 Employment Agencies; 7363 Help Supply Services The Lincolnshire, Illinois-based Hewitt Associates, Inc. is a global management consulting firm specializing in the outsourcing of corporate human resources (HR) programs such as healthcare benefits, payroll administration, stock options and investment accounts, retirement programs, and severance packages. Hewitt represents many Fortune 500 companies, administering their investment and benefit programs and offering their clients a host of related services, many of them online. Hewitt not only pioneered the use of automated benefit programs, but brought the HR industry into the Internet age by launching a series of online programs and software packages. Edwin “Ted” Hewitt founded Edwin Shields Hewitt and Associates on October 1, 1940, as a brokerage house focusing on insurance and personal financial services. It was a heady time in the United States; population had grown to 132 million, the economy was robust, and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was reelected for a record third term. Unfortunately, the war raging in Europe was about to bring the United States into what became World War II. During and after the war, Hewitt’s particular expertise became immensely valuable when the government instituted “pay-as-you-go” income taxes in 1943 and the U.S. cost of living increased more than 25 percent in 1945. Once the war and its rationing ended, Americans returned to work and th… More: |

Excerpt: WPLJ (95.5 FM) is a radio station in New York City. WPLJ is the flagship FM station of Citadel Broadcasting Corporation. WPLJ shares studio facilities with sister station WABC (770 AM) and former sister stations WEPN (1050 AM) and WQEW (1560 AM) in midtown Manhattan, and its transmitter is atop the Empire State Building. The station currently plays the Hot Adult Contemporary music format also called “Hot AC”. It is the home of the Scott and Todd in the Morning show. The station went on the air in 1948 under the call sign WJZ-FM. In 1953, the station’s call letters were changed to WABC-FM. During the mid and late 1960s, WABC-FM programmed Broadway Show Tunes on an automated basis and carried New York Mets Baseball games. They also simulcast AM sister station WABC during various dayparts, like morning drive time. In June 1968, 24 year old Allen Shaw was hired from WCFL radio in Chicago, by ABC Radio Stations President, Hal Neal, to program all 7 of the ABC Owned FM Radio Stations in a new album rock format. There was very little budget for ABC’s FM stations at that time, so Shaw was told that the new rock format would have to be totally automated. Shaw designed the “LOVE” format, with John “Brother John” Rydgren as the only DJ on the air 24 hours a day. 25 hours of long-form tapes were recorded at WABC-FM for playback on the ABC FM stations….

Archive Networks $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, is an archive of over 20,000 modules of software written in Perl, as well as documentation for it. It has a presence on the World Wide Web at www.cpan.org and is mirrored worldwide on more than 200 locations . CPAN can denote either the archive network itself, or the Perl program that acts as an interface to the network and as an automated software installer (somewhat like a package manager). Most software on CPAN is free and open source software. Like many programming languages, Perl has mechanisms to use external libraries of code, allowing a single file to contain common routines used by several programs. Perl calls these modules. Perl modules are typically installed in one of several directories whose paths are placed in the Perl interpreter when it is first compiled; on Unix-like operating systems, common paths include /usr/lib/perl5, /usr/local/lib/perl5, and several of their subdirectories. Perl comes with a small set of core modules. Some of these perform bootstrapping tasks, such as ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which is used for building and installing other extension modules; others, like CGI.pm, are merely commonly-used. The authors of Perl do not expect this limited group to meet every need, however. The CPAN’s main purpose is to help programmers locate modules and programs not included in the Perl standard distribution. It is also used to distribute new versions of Perl, as well as related projects, such as Parrot. The CPAN is an important resource for the professional Perl programmer. With over 18,000 modules (containing 20,000,000 lines of code) as of October 2009, the CPAN can save programmers weeks of time, and large Perl programs often make use of dozens of modules.

Excerpt: The General Dynamics F-111 “Aardvark” is a medium-range interdictor and tactical strike aircraft that also fills the roles of strategic bomber, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare in its various versions. Developed in the 1960s and first entering service in 1967, the United States Air Force (USAF) variants were officially retired by 1998. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is the sole remaining operator of the F-111. The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production military aircraft including variable-sweep wings, afterburning turbofan engines, and automated terrain following radar for low-level, high-speed flight. Its design was influential, being reflected in later Soviet aircraft such as the Sukhoi Su-24, and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace. During its inception, however, the F-111 suffered a variety of development problems, and several of its intended roles, such as naval interception through the F-111B, failed to materialize. In USAF service the F-111 … More: |

Audio Software With Jack Support: Ardour $9.91 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Ardour is a hard disk recorder and digital audio workstation application. It runs on Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD. Its primary author is Paul Davis, who is also responsible for the JACK Audio Connection Kit. Ardour’s intention is to provide digital audio workstation software suitable for professional use. Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version two or any later version), Ardour is free software. The feature list below is an overview of Ardour’s features including the most essential features. Covering all features is beyond the scope of this article. Ardour’s recording capabilities are limited only by the hardware it is run on. There are no built in limitations in the software. When recording on top of existing material Ardour can do latency compensation, positioning the recorded material where it was intended to be when recording it. Monitoring options include monitoring with external hardware (a feature supported by some sound cards), monitoring with Ardour and monitoring with JACK. Monitoring with Ardour makes it possible to apply plugin effects to the signal while it is recorded in real time. Using the Audioserver JACK Ardour can not only record from the soundcard but from JACK-compatible Software also at the same time. There are hundreds of sound-applications like software-synthesizers or audio-effect-hosts that work with JACK. New versions of JACK also support transporting audio over a generic IP network. This makes it possible to run Ardour on hardware separate from the hardware that actually contains the audio interface. Ardour supports an arbitrary number of tracks and busses. It also has a completely flexible “anything to anywhere” routing system. All gain, panning and plugin parameters can be automated. Al… More: |

Bird Observatories in the United States: Whitefish Point Bird Observatory, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, Golden Gate Raptor Observatory $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Whitefish Point Bird Observatory, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, Golden Gate Raptor Observatory, the Institute for Bird Populations, Prbo Conservation Science, Cape May Bird Observatory, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. Excerpt: Whitefish Point Bird Observatory – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Birders from the Ontario Bird Banding Association and the Cranbrook Institute of Science established a spring hawk banding project in 1966 at Whitefish Point that was later expanded to survey migrating owls. This project lasted from 19661971 and was the forerunner of the WPBO. Michigan Audubon formed a Whitefish Point Committee in 1976 to secure a license for access to the U.S. Coast Guard Whitefish Point Light Station except for the automated light and foghorn. The WPBO was established in 1978 as a non-profit organization supported by membership fees, donations and gifts, voluntary service, and grants from private and government institutions. WPBO began annual monitoring of spring migrations beginning in 1979. By 1989 it expanded to include the monitoring of fall migrations and additional interpretative and research activities. In 1998, Michigan Audubon received a federal land patent for 2.69 acres (0.0109 km; 0.00420 sq mi) of the old light station property, which is now managed by the WPBO for research and educational activities. Due to the researcher’s exposure to extreme weather, WPBO adopted the procedures of observatories in Britain that use small buildings along the rocky points of the coast where people can stay to monitor migrating birds and keep records and report observations at the stations during migration. The WPBO has collaborated with Michigan Audubon to record over 300 species of birds at Whitefish Point. Whitefish Point dunes and sand-… More: |

Chapters: Atomics International, Energy Technology Engineering Center, San Buenaventura Mission Aqueduct, Anacapa Island Light, Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, Bart’s Books, Emmanuel Franz House. Excerpt: Anacapa Island Lighthouse is a lighthouse in California , United States , on the entrance to Santa Barbara Channel , California . It was the last major light station to be built on the west coast.History Positioned at the eastern entrance to the Santa Barbara Channel, Anacapa was a natural choice for a lighthouse. The Lighthouse Board decided to place a light on the island, but to limit the expense of building an offshore beacon, an unmanned acetylene lens lantern on a tower was erected in 1912. In 1932, the current permanent light station was built on the island, and was the last major light station to be built on the west coast. The 39-foot (12 m) tower and fog signal were built on the highest point of the island. In 1938, under the direction of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Santa Barbara and Anacapa Islands became Channel Islands National Monument. The United States Coast Guard automated the station in 1966. In 1980, Congress designated five of the eight Channel Islands, Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara Islands, and 125,000 acres (510 km ) of submerged lands as Channel Islands National Park. The lighthouse is still an active aid to navigation.Historical Information from Coast Guard web site:Anacapa, a native-American word meaning “ever changing”, was first discovered by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542. The islands were called Las Mesitas or the Little Tables by De Portola in 1769. Captain George Vancouver renamed them Anacapa from the Canalino Indian name of Enecapah. Anacapa Island is really a chain of three small islets extending four and a |

Cbs Radio Cleveland: Wkrk $9.25 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: WKRK (92.3 FM) branded Radio 92.3 is a commercial radio station licensed to Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Serving Greater Cleveland and most of surrounding Northeast Ohio, Radio 92.3 is owned by CBS Radio and broadcasts an automated Alternative Rock format, mostly without DJs or any other live on-air talent. Radio 92.3 studios are located in Downtown Cleveland, while the station’s transmitter resides in the Cleveland suburb of Warrensville Heights. Currently using its tenth unique set of call letters (WJMO-FM was used twice), Radio 92.3 has had more callsign changes than any other radio station in Cleveland. The WKRK callsign was assigned in October 2007 when the station was branding itself as “K-RocK Cleveland.” Radio 92.3 remains the home of Inner Sanctum, a weekly showcase featuring Cleveland’s local music talent. The show airs Sunday nights at 10PM. The station debuted in June 1954 on 95.3 MHz as WSRS-FM, founded by Sam R. Sague – and simulcast sister station WSRS 1490 AM, also licensed to Cleveland Heights. WSRS AM/FM billed itself as the “Community Information Voice of Cleveland”. On February 1, 1959, Friendly Broadcasting of Columbus assumed control of WSRS 1490 AM and 95.3 FM from Sam R. Sague, switching call letters, licenses, studios and facilities. The AM and FM stations took on separate identities: WJMO took over the former WSRS offices at 2156 Lee Road in Cleveland Heights, and WSRS-FM became WJMO-FM, later WCUY. The 1540 and 106.5 frequencies were sold off to Tuschman Broadcasting Company; with the AM station becoming WABQ (whose format and call letters currently reside at 1460 kHz, the 1540 kHz frequency is currently WWGK) while the FM station instead signed on as WABQ-FM before becoming WXEN. WCUY maintained an eclectic mix of bea… More: |

Cdc Software: Plato, Cdc Display Code, Compass, Mimic, O26, Sympl $9.25 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations) was the first (ca. 1960, on ILLIAC I) generalized computer assisted instruction system, and, by the early 1970s, comprised some 1,000 terminals worldwide. Originally, PLATO was built by the University of Illinois and functioned for four decades, offering coursework (elementaryuniversity) to UIUC students, local schools, and other universities. The PLATO project was assumed by the Control Data Corporation (CDC), who built the machines with which PLATO operated at the University. CDC President William Norris planned to make PLATO a force in the computer world; the last production PLATO system was shut down in 2006 (coincidentally, just a month after Bill Norris died), yet it established key on-line concepts: forums, message boards, online testing, e-mail, chat rooms, picture languages, instant messaging, remote screen sharing, and multi-player games. Before the 1944 G.I. Bill that provided free college education to World War II veterans, higher education was limited to a minority of the U.S. population. The trend towards greater enrollment notable by the early 1950s, and the problem of providing instruction for the many new students was a serious concern to university administrators. To wit, if computerised automation increased factory production, it could do the same for academic instruction. The U.S.S.R.’s 1957 launching of the Sputnik I artificial satellite illustrated the U.S.’s educational inferiority, which was countered with greater spending on science and engineering education and computer-based instruction. In 1958, the U.S. Air Force’s Office of Scientific Research had a conference about the topic at the University of Pennsylvania; interested parties, notably IBM, presented s… More: |

Chess Automatons: The Turk, Wolfgang Von Kempelen, Johann Nepomuk Maelzel, Karl Gottlieb Von Windisch, El Ajedrecista, Mephisto, Ajeeb $10.46 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: The Turk, Wolfgang Von Kempelen, Johann Nepomuk Maelzel, Karl Gottlieb Von Windisch, El Ajedrecista, Mephisto, Ajeeb, Joseph Friedrich Freiherr Von Racknitz, Walker Chess-Player. Excerpt: An advertisement for an exhibition of Ajeeb, including an illustration of its appearance. Ajeeb was an imitation of the Turk . Ajeeb was a chess -playing “automaton “, created by Charles Hooper (a cabinet maker) , first presented at the Royal Polytechnical Institute in 1868. A particularly intriguing piece of faux mechanical technology (while presented as entirely automated, it in fact concealed a strong human chess player inside), it drew scores of thousands of spectators to its games, the opponents for which included Harry Houdini , Theodore Roosevelt , and O. Henry . The genius behind “Ajeeb” were players such as Harry Nelson Pillsbury (1898-1904), Albert Beauregard Hodges , Constant Ferdinand Burille , Charles Moehle , and Charles Francis Barker. In the history of such devices, it succeeded “The Turk ” and preceded “Mephisto “. After several spectacular demonstrations at Coney Island, New York, Ajeeb was destroyed in a fire in 1929. Ajeeb is an Arabic word meaning strange or unexplainable. References (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at Gonzales, Quevedo’s son, showing his replica to Norbert Wiener El Ajedrecista (English : The Chess Player ) was an automaton built in 1912 by Leonardo Torres y Quevedo . El Ajedrecista made a public debut during the Paris World Fair of 1914, creating great excitement at the time. It was first widely mentioned in Scientific American as “Torres and His Remarkable Automatic Devices” in November 6, 1915. Using electromagnets under the board , it automatically played an endgame with three chess pieces , moving a king and a rook |

Code Metrics $64.99 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Code Metrics is a code analysis tool included in Visual Studio 2008 (Team Edition and Team Suite only) that allows code and projects to be analysed and gathers statistics such as inheritance depth, lines of code, number of classes etc and computes a maintainability index based on the gathered information. Static code analysis is the analysis of computer software that is performed without actually executing programs built from that software (analysis performed on executing programs is known as dynamic analysis). In most cases the analysis is performed on some version of the source code and in the other cases some form of the object code. The term is usually applied to the analysis performed by an automated tool, with human analysis being called program understanding, program comprehension or code review. The sophistication of the analysis performed by tools varies from those that only consider the behavior of individual statements and declarations, to those that include the complete source code of a program in their analysis. |

Chapters: Starfleet Orion, Invasion Orion, Temple of Apshai, Santa Paravia En Fiumaccio, Android Nim, B-1 Nuclear Bomber, Dungeon of Death. Not illustrated. Excerpt: No special requirements Starfleet Orion is a 1978 science fiction strategy game written and published by Automated Simulations (who would become Epyx in 1981). It appears to be the first space-themed strategy game sold for microcomputer systems. The game was originally written in BASIC for the Commodore PET, but later ported to other early home computer platforms including the TRS-80 and Apple II. The game was something of a success, leading to a string of successes for the company, notably the major “hit”, Temple of Apshai. The game came about in a roundabout fashion when Jon Freeman joined a Dungeons and Dragons game being hosted by dungeon master Jim Connelly. Freeman was an experienced gamer, a regular contributor to GAMES Magazine and author of A Player’s Guide to Board Games. Connelly had purchased a PET computer to handle “bookkeeping” during his D |

Excerpt: Cambridge Bay (Inuinnaqtun: Iqaluktuuttiaq Inuktitut: ) (2006 population 1,477; UA population 1,147) named for Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, is a hamlet located in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada. The traditional Inuinnaqtun name for the area is Ikaluktuutiak (old orthography) or Iqaluktuttiaq (new orthography) meaning “good fishing place”. The traditional language of the area was Inuinnaqtun and is written using the Latin alphabet rather than the syllabics of the Inuktitut writing system. Like Kugluktuk, Bathurst Inlet and Umingmaktok syllabics are rarely seen and used mainly by the Government of Nunavut. Located on the south coast of Victoria Island Cambridge Bay is a transportation and administrative center for the western Kitikmeot Region. As of the 2006 census the population was 1,477 an increase of 12.8% from the 2001 census. The population is approximately 80% Inuit. It is a normal stop for passenger and research vessels traversing the Northwest Passage. The area was a traditional hunting and fishing location and archeological sites are often found. Barren-ground caribou, muskox, Arctic char, lake trout and ringed seal were the primary and remain important food sources today. Situated east of Cambridge Bay is Ovayok Territorial Park. Cambridge Bay was the site of Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Hudson’s Bay Company outposts established during the 1920s. Following World War II a LORAN tower was built near the previous location of Cambridge Bay and a Distant Early Warning Line site established in 1955. Unlike the majority of the DEW Line radar sites which were abandoned or automated, this site, known as CAM-MAIN, remains a manned operation as part of the North Warning System.

Dynamic modeling of free fatty acid, glucose, and insulin during rest and exercise in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients. $108 Malfunctioning of the beta-cells of the pancreas leads to the metabolic disease known as diabetes mellitus (DM), which is characterized by significant glucose variation due to lack of insulin secretion, lack of insulin action, or both. DM can be broadly classified into two types: type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) – which is caused mainly due to lack of insulin secretion; and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) – which is caused due to lack of insulin action. The most common intensive insulin treatment for T1DM requires administration of insulin subcutaneously 3 – 4 times daily in order to maintain normoglycemia (blood glucose concentration at 70 to 120 mgdl ). Although the effectiveness of this technique is adequate, wide glucose fluctuations persist depending upon individual daily activity, such as meal intake, exercise, etc. For tighter glucose control, the current focus is on the development of automated closed-loop insulin delivery systems. In a model-based control algorithm, model quality plays a vital role in controller performance.;In order to have a reliable model-based automatic insulin delivery system operating under various physiological conditions, a model must be synthesized that has glucose-predicting ability and includes all the major energy-providing substrates at rest, as well as during physical activity. Since the 1960s, mathematical models of metabolism have been proposed in the literature. The majority of these models are glucose-based and have ignored the contribution of free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism, which is an important source of energy for the body. Also, significant interactions exist among FFA, glucose, and insulin. It is important to consider these metabolic interactions in order to characterize the endogenous energy production of a healthy or diabetic patient. In addition, physiological exercise induces fundamental metabolic changes in the body; this topic has also been largely overlooked by the diabetes modeling community.;This |

End-To-End Security: Pretty Good Privacy, Ws-Security $8.69 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a computer program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication. PGP is often used for signing, encrypting and decrypting e-mails to increase the security of e-mail communications. It was created by Philip Zimmermann in 1991. PGP and similar products follow the OpenPGP standard (RFC 4880) for encrypting and decrypting data. PGP encryption uses a serial combination of hashing, data compression, symmetric-key cryptography, and, finally, public-key cryptography; each step uses one of several supported algorithms. Each public key is bound to a user name and/or an e-mail address. The first version of this system was generally known as a web of trust to contrast with the X.509 system which uses a hierarchical approach based on certificate authority and which was added to PGP implementations later. Current versions of PGP encryption include both options through an automated key management server. As PGP evolves, PGP systems that support newer features and algorithms are able to create encrypted messages that older PGP systems cannot decrypt, even with a valid private key. Thus, it is essential that partners in PGP communication understand each other’s PGP capabilities or at least agree on PGP settings. PGP supports message authentication and integrity checking. The latter is used to detect whether a message has been altered since it was completed (the message integrity property), and the former to determine whether it was actually sent by the person/entity claimed to be the sender (a digital signature). In PGP, these are used by default in conjunction with encryption, but can be applied to plaintext as well. The sender uses PGP to create a digital signature for the message with either the RSA or DSA signature al… More: |

Baker, Prince William Sound, Bligh Reef, Oil Pollution Act of 1990, Seattle Seven, Gregory Cousins. Excerpt: Map excerpt showing Bligh Reef and automated beacon. Bligh Reef , sometimes known as Bligh Island Reef , is a reef off the coast of Bligh Island in Prince William Sound , Alaska . This was the location of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill . After the incident, US Code 33 § 2733 mandated the operation of an automated navigation light to prevent future collisions with the reef. Bligh Reef is also where Alaska Steamship Company ’s Olympia ran aground in 1910. Despite these efforts the tug Pathfinder ran aground on Bligh Reef on Dec 24, 2009, rupturing its tanks and spilling diesel fuel. Bligh Reef serves as a fishing ground for halibut and a harvesting area for shrimp . The nearest town is Tatitlek , which lies 7 miles to the northeast. The reef was named after William Bligh , of future Bounty fame, who served as Master aboard ship during James Cook ’s third world voyage.

Batch renaming software exists for most operating systems .Batch renaming can also be referred to as ‘mass file renaming’, rename ‘en masse’ and ‘bulk renaming’.Common functions Most batch renamers share a basic set of functions to manipulate the filenames:Some batch rename software can do more than just renaming filenames. Features include changing the dates of files and changing the file attributes (such as the write protected attribute).Common uses There are many situations where batch renaming software can be useful. Here is a list of some common uses: Basic renaming problems There is some problem to take in consideration when renaming a file list.(= means: renamed to)file01 = file02 (file02 already exists in file-system)file01 = file03 file02 = file03 (file03 is already used)file01 = file02 (file02 already exists in file-system)file02 = file03 (file03 already exists in file-system)file03 = file01 (file01 already exists in file-system)Two-pass renaming A two-pass renaming use a temporary filename |

Excerpt: Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Known to the Native American as Canaresse, meaning “at the thickets,” and later referred to as Ruyge-Bosje, meaning “shaggy bushes” or thicket, Bombay Hook received its final name from the corruption of the Dutch “Boompjes” or “Boompjes Hoeck” meaning “little-tree point.” In 1679 Mechacksett, chief of Kahansink sold Bombay Hook wetlands to Peter Bayard, an early Dutch settler. The price for the area was 1 gun, 4 handfuls of powder, 3 waistcoats, 1 anchor of liquor and 1 kettle. In 1682, a canal was built from the town of Smyrna to the Delaware Bay; this waterway became the Smyrna River. The Bombay Hook Lighthouse (also called the Smyrna River Lighthouse) was built by the US Government in 1831. The lighthouse was later automated in 1912 and an unmanned light was installed.

Excerpt: A mechanical biological treatment system is a form of waste processing facility that combines a sorting facility with a form of biological treatment such as composting or anaerobic digestion. MBT plants are designed to process mixed household waste as well as commercial and industrial wastes. Process flow chartThe terms ‘mechanical biological treatment’ or ‘mechanical biological pre-treatment’ relate to a group of solid waste treatment systems. These systems enable the recovery of materials contained within and the stabilisation of the biodegradable component of the material. The sorting component of the plants resemble a materials recovery facility. This component is either configured to recover the individual elements of the waste or produce a refuse-derived fuel that can be used for the generation of power. The components of the mixed waste stream that can be recovered include: MBT is also sometimes termed BMT biological mechanical treatment however this simply refers to the order of processing, i.e. the biological phase of the system precedes the mechanical sorting. MBT should not be confused with MHT mechanical heat treatment – which does not include any form of biological degradation or stabilisation. Wet material recovery facility, HiriyaThe “mechanical” element is usually an automated mechanical sorting stage. This either removes recyclable elements from a mixed waste stream (such as metals, plastics, glass and paper) or processes them. It typically involves factory style conveyors, industrial magnets, eddy current separators, trommels, shredders and other tailor made systems, o… More: |

Not illustrated. Excerpt: George Washington’s Gristmill – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia George Washington inherited Mount Vernon in 1754. In 1771, Washington erected a large stone gristmill on the plantation to replace a mill his father had built in the 1730s. The new mill was located three miles west of Mount Vernon on Dogue Run Creek. It was used to produce flour and cornmeal for the plantation as well as high quality flour for export to the West Indies, England, and continental Europe. Washington also built a house for the miller at the site as well as a cooperage to supply barrels for the mill, and later, the distillery operation. The mill was powered by a large water wheel. To ensure a steady power supply, water was diverted from Piney Branch into Dogue Run Creek above the mill’s headrace. The additional water flow significantly increased the mills production capacity. In 1791, Washington automated his mill using technology developed and patented by Oliver Evans of Delaware. Evans was personally acquainted with the mill and had repaired some of its works. Once the gristmill was well established, Washingtons farm manager, James Anderson, suggested building a whiskey distillery adjacent to the mill. When it was completed in 1797, the distillery was the largest in America. By 1799, it had become one of Washingtons most successful enterprises, producing 11,000 gallons of whiskey per year. A variety of whiskey was produced at the site along with brandy and vinegar. The most common whiskey recipe used 60% rye, 35% corn, and 5% malted barley. Smaller … More: |

Chapters: Uniform Crime Reports, National Incident Based Reporting System, Combined Dna Index System, Automated Targeting System, Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System, National Crime Information Center, Interagency Border Inspection System, Interstate Identification Index, Crime Information Center. Excerpt: The Automated Targeting System or ATS is a United States Department of Homeland Security computerized system that, for every person who crosses U.S. borders, scrutinizes a large volume of data related to that person (see below), and then automatically assigns a rating for which the expectation is that it helps gauge whether this person may be placed within a risk group of terrorists or other criminals . Similarly ATS analyzes data related to container cargo . These ratings take many details into account, such as country of origin, how travel to the U.S. was funded, and the visitor’s driving record. Other more mundane details also factor in, such as where the person is sitting on the flight and what they ordered for their meal. The existence of such a system was first discovered by the public in November 2006, when a mention of it appeared in the Federal Register . The system was first implemented in the late 1990s, and was significantly expanded shortly after the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. Rating factors According to the Department of Homeland Security website, other information that may be collected includes: : : : : Acronyms: Exemption from Data Privacy Act Following the controversial Passenger Name Record agreement signed with the European Union (EU) in 2007, the Bush administration gave exemption for the Department of Homeland Security , for the Arrival and Departure System (ADIS) and for the Automated Target System from the 1974 |

Excerpt: The Lexus 2054, shown in the film Minority Report. The Lexus 2054 is a concept car designed for the 2002 Steven Spielberg film Minority Report . The vehicle was shown being built at an automated factory in the film, and later driven by star Tom Cruise . The vehicle was used as a getaway vehicle in several action sequences. In 2002, Lexus was requested by Steven Spielberg , a Lexus owner himself, to design a vehicle that would fit the requirements of year 2054 for his movie adaptation of the Philip K. Dick short story Minority Report . Designers working with Lexus came up with an advanced vehicle that would run on fuel cells and have many advanced safety features, including a crashproof structure and biometric security systems. (Lexus’ cinematic concept car also appears in The Island , though it is colored blue, not red). A film tie-in site proposed a Lexus future vehicle that would drive itself, take dinner orders verbally, and select music to match occupant moods. The Lexus 2054 later appeared at several auto shows and public events. The site won several advertising awards. Lexus paid $5 million for the rights to market the vehicle and its brand in relation to the film.

Excerpt: Cape Decision Light Cape Decision is a lighthouse located on Kuiu Island adjacent to Sumner Strait in Southeast Alaska. History The first attempt to light these waters was an acetylene lantern placed on the Spanish Islands, just off the southern end of Kuiu Island. The lantern was proved ineffective and consequently Congress appropriated $59,400 in 1929 for a lighthouse and construction began in September of that year. However, weather and inadequate funds delayed the completion of the station until it finally became active in March 1932. The total cost ended up in excess of $150,000. The lighthouse became automated in 1974 and in 1989 fire damaged the tram , dock , boathouse , hoist house, paint shed, and helipad . The original third order Fresnel lens was replaced in 1996 with solar powered aero beacon. The lens is on display in Clausen Museum in the nearby community of Petersburg . The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. It is currently an active aid to navigation .

Chapters: Quantitative Marketing Research, Multivariate Testing, Uplift Modelling, Bcc Research, Optimized Consumer Intensity Analysis, Turf Analysis. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Quantitative marketing research is the application of quantitative research techniques to the field of marketing. It has roots in both the positivist view of the world, and the modern marketing viewpoint that marketing is an interactive process in which both the buyer and seller reach a satisfying agreement on the “four Ps” of marketing: Product, Price, Place (location) and Promotion. As a social research method, it typically involves the construction of questionnaires and scales. People who respond (respondents) are asked to complete the survey. Marketers use the information so obtained to understand the needs of individuals in the marketplace, and to create strategies and marketing plans. Simply, there are five major and important steps involved in the research process: A brief discussion on these steps is: The design step may involve a pilot study to in order to discover any hidden issues. The codification and analysis steps are typically performed by computer, using software such as DAP or PSPP. The data collection steps, can in some instances be automated, but often require significant manpower to undertake. Interpretation is a skill mastered only by experience. The data acquired for quantitative marketing research can be analysed by almost any of the range of techniques of statistical analysis, which can be broadly divided into descriptive statistics and statistical inference. An important set of techniques is that related to statistical surveys. In any instance, an appropriate type of statistical analysis should take account of the various types of error that may arise, … More: |

Museums in Dare County, North Carolina: Cape Hatteras Light $10 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Cape Hatteras Light – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The light at the top is automated and is visible every 7.5 seconds. In good visibility conditions, the beacon can often be seen for 20 miles (32 km) out at sea, although its official range is 24 miles (39 km) under optimal conditions. Over 1 million bricks were used in the construction of the structure, which was built between 1868 to 1870 at a cost (then) of $167,500. The Cape Hatteras lighthouse is still considered an operational aid to navigation maintained by the United States Coast Guard and the National Park Service. However, the need for the lighthouse has been reduced by modern day GPS and other electronic navigational devices. The lighthouse beacon was also augmented by the 175-foot (53 m) tall Diamond Shoals light tower, which is 12 miles (19 km) off of the Hatteras coast. The light tower was put in place in 1967 and lightships were present before then dating back to 1824, including one lightship sunk by a German submarine during World War I. The light tower has recently been decommissioned by the United States Coast Guard, as maintenance on the structure proved too expensive in light of increasing reliance on GPS. The National Park Service permits climbing to the top of the lighthouse. For a number of years, this was not possible due to repairs to the lighthouse. The lighthouse is open for tours from the third Friday in April to Columbus Day. The climb is considered strenuous because the climb is equivalent to 12 stories. There is a handrail on only one side of the stairs, and there is two-way traffic on the stairs. Adjacent to the Cape Hatteras Light is the Hatteras Island Visitor Center and Museum of the Sea, operated by the National Park Service, which is located in the hist… More: |

Noachis Quadrangle: Russell, Peneus Patera, Asimov, Proctor, Rabe, Kaiser, Frento Vallis $8.59 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Noachis quadrangle is one of a series of 30 quadrangle maps of Mars used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Research Program. The Noachis quadrangle is also referred to as MC-27 (Mars Chart-27). The Noachis quadrangle covers the area from 300° to 360° west longitude and 30° to 65° south latitude on Mars. It lies between the two giant impact basins on Mars: Argyre and Hellas. Noachis is so densely covered with craters that it is considered among the oldest places on Mars. When a location on Mars is as old, it is said to be Noachian in age. In many places on Mars, buried craters are being exposed. That is a crater was formed long ago, then was buried, and is now being exposed. This takes place in Noachis, as Noachis is plenty old enough for this process to take place. The fist bit of human hardwear to land on Mars landed (crashed) in the Noachis quadrangle. The Soviet’s Mars 2 crashed at 44.2° S and 313.2° W. It weighed about one ton. The automated craft attempted to land in a giant dust storm. To make conditions even worse, this area also has many dust devils. Certain regions of Mars display scalloped-shaped depressions. The depression are believed to be the remains of an ice-rich mantle deposit. Scallops were caused by ice sublimating from frozen soil. This mantle material probably fell from the air as ice formed on dust when the climate was different due to changes in the tilt of the Mars pole. The scallops are typically tens of meters deep and from a few hundred to a few thousand meters across. They can be almost circular or elongated. Some appear to have coalesced causing a large heavily pitted terrain to form. The process of forming the terrain may begin with sublimation from a crack. There are often polygon … |

On the use of natural language processing for automated conceptual data modeling. $108 This research involved the development of a natural language processing (NLP) architecture for the extraction of entity relation diagrams (ERDs) from natural language requirements specifications. Conceptual data modeling plays an important role in database and software design and many approaches to automating and developing software tools for this process have been attempted. NLP approaches to this problem appear to be plausible because compared to general free texts, natural language requirements documents are relatively formal and exhibit some special regularities which reduce the complexity of the problem. The approach taken here involves a loose integration of several linguistic components. Outputs from syntactic parsing are used by a set of heuristic rules developed for this particular domain to produce tuples representing the underlying meanings of the propositions in the documents and semantic resources are used to distinguish between correct and incorrect tuples. Finally the tuples are integrated into full ERD representations. The major challenge addressed in this research is how to bring the various resources to bear on the translation of the natural language documents into the formal language. This system is taken to be representative of a potential class of similar systems designed to translate documents in other restricted domains into corresponding formalisms. The system is incorporated into a tool that presents the final ERDs to users who can modify them in the attempt to produce an accurate ERD for the requirements document. An experiment demonstrated that users with limited experience in ERD specifications could produce better representations of requirements documents than they could without the system, and could do so in less time. |

Parental Controls $72 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Parental controls provide parents with automated tools to help protect their children and set restrictions while using devices and services. These controls may include: alerting a parent when their child’s device leaves school, limiting their car speed to a certain maximum speed, controlling the content which the child views on a device connected to the Internet, or limiting the amount of time they can use their device. Parental controls are optional features typically included in digital television services, computer and video games, Mobile phones and computer software. Parental controls fall into roughly four categories, content filters, which limit access to age-appropriate content, usage controls, which constrain the usage of these devices such as placing time-limits on usage or forbidding certain types of usage, computer usage management tools, which allow parents to enforce learning time into child computing time, and monitoring , which can track location and activity when using the devices. |

Poquoson, Virginia $10.46 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Poquoson, Virginia, Virginia Peninsula, Poquoson High School, Hampton Roads Transportation Authority, Back River, Virginia State Route 171, Virginia State Route 172, Plum Tree Island National Wildlife Refuge. Excerpt: The Back River is an estuarine inlet of the Chesapeake Bay between the independent cities of Hampton and Poquoson in the Hampton Roads area of southeastern Virginia . Formed by the confluence of the Northwest and Southwest Branches, and at just over two miles long, the Back River is a breeding ground for many of the Bay’s prized sport fish and the well known blue crab . The river was once part of an important fishing area that provided the local canneries with the famous Chesapeake seafood that was, and still is in demand throughout the country. Although now used primarily for recreation and as a wildlife refuge, the river remains a great place to spend an afternoon with a fishing rod or a few crab traps. Factory Point , an island that protects the river from the Chesapeake Bay sits at the mouth of the river adjoining the bay. The Southwest Branch begins as Newmarket Creek, a marshy, tidal creek which flows from its headwaters in Newport News into Hampton where it widens greatly and empties into the river. The Northwest Branch also begins in Newport News as Brick Kiln Creek, and is dammed along the Hampton city and York County border to form Big Bethel Reservoir. It flows from the reservoir into Poquoson, where it becomes the Northwest Branch. The Back River Lightstation , or Grandview Light, formerly stood on a windswept beach at the mouth of the river. Built in 1829 by Winslow Lewis at a cost of $4,250, the thirty-foot brick tower displayed its light until 1915, when it was automated and the keepers removed. In 1936, the station was decommissioned and left |

Prediction of Protein Structures, Functions, and Interactions $165 The growing flood of new experimental data generated by genome sequencing has provided an impetus for the development of automated methods for predicting the functions of proteins that have been deduced by sequence analysis and lack experimental characterization.Prediction of Protein Structures, Functions and Interactions presents a comprehensive overview of methods for prediction of protein structure or function, with the emphasis on their availability and possibilities for their combined use. Methods of modeling of individual proteins, prediction of their interactions, and docking of complexes are put in the context of predicting gene ontology (biological process, molecular function, and cellular component) and discussed in the light of their contribution to the emerging field of systems biology. Topics covered include:first steps of protein sequence analysis and structure predictionautomated prediction of protein function from sequencetemplate-based prediction of three-dimensional protein structures: fold-recognition and comparative modellingtemplate-free prediction of three-dimensional protein structuresquality assessment of protein modelsprediction of molecular interactions: from small ligands to large protein complexesmacromolecular dockingintegrating prediction of structure, function, and interactionsPrediction of Protein Structures, Functions and Interactions focuses on the methods that have performed well in CASPs, and which are constantly developed and maintained, and are freely available to academic researchers either as web servers or programs for local installation. It is an essential guide to the newest, best methods for prediction of protein structure and functions, for researchers and advanced students working in structural bioinformatics, protein chemistry, structural biology and drug discovery. |

Rtca Standards $9.48 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: DO-178B, Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification is the title of a document published by RTCA, Incorporated. Development was a joint effort with EUROCAE. When specified by the Technical Standard Order (TSO) for which certification is sought, the FAA applies DO-178B as the document it uses for guidance to determine if the software will perform safely and reliably, in an airborne environment . The Design Assurance Level (DAL) is determined from the safety assessment process and hazard analysis by examining the effects of a failure condition in the system. The failure conditions are categorized by their effects on the aircraft, crew, and passengers. The number of objectives to be satisfied (eventually with independence) is determined by the software level. The phrase “with independence” refers to a separation of responsibilities where the objectivity of the verification and validation processes is ensured by virtue of their “independence” from the software development team. In some cases, an automated tool may be equivalent to independence. Processes are intended to support the objectives, according to the software level (A through D – Level E is outside the purview of DO-178B). Processes are described as abstract areas of work in DO-178B, and it is up to the planners of a real project to define and document the specifics of how a process will be carried out. Therefore, on a real project, the actual activities that will be done in the context of a process must be shown to support the objectives. In fact, these activities are defined by the project planners as part of the Planning process. This objective-based nature of DO-178B allows a great deal of flexibility in regard to following different styles of software … More: |

Transport in Lausanne: Lausanne Metro, L man Rer, Lausanne Station, Lausanne-Flon Station $8.59 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Lausanne Metro system includes two lines in Lausanne, Switzerland, owned by two distinct companies and operated by a third. The Line M1 is a light metro, while the Line M2 is a fully automated metro which opened on 27 October 2008. Lausanne has replaced Rennes as the smallest city in the world to have a full metro system. The M1 Metro was opened on 24 May 1991. The line is owned by a company named TSOL (Tramway du Sud-Ouest lausannois) and this acronym is widely used by the commuters who use the line. Trains on the line are operated by the Transports publics de la région lausannoise (TL, formerly Tramways Lausannois). The M1 is a light metro with only three underground stations. The line, which is 8 km (5 mi) long, links the center of Lausanne, the major Universities (EPFL, UNIL) and Renens. The line is generally single track. At most stations a passing loop is provided to allow trains to pass, and a dedicated platform is provided for each direction. Exceptions to this are Bassenges, UNIL-Sorge and Provence stations, where the line is still single track serving one bidirectional platform. Les CroisetesThe métro de Lausanne (M2) uses the track formerly used by the Lausanne-Ouchy, and then a brand new extension towards Epalinges, crossing the whole city of Lausanne from north to south. M2 A Rubber-tyred metro is able to climb at high speed the Lausanne slopes (12% in some places ; 5.7% average on the whole line). The Line M2 is entirely automated, managed from a central command station. This means that the operation is cheaper and that allows more adaptability during peak hours. The stations are equipped with platform screen doors and a dedicated station personnel assists commuters. The M2 runs on its own right-of-way, wit… More: |

Excerpt: Caméra Café Caméra Café is a French-born concept of comedy television series exported around the world. A movie spin-off has been made in France under the title of Espace détente . It was originally a French television show created by Bruno Solo, Yvan Le Bolloc’h and Alain Kappauf and broadcast from September 2001 to December 2003 on the M6 channel. 700 episodes of 7 minutes each have been produced and were broadcast again on M6 in 2004. The show revolves around a dysfunctional office. Its originality stems from the fact that, within the fiction, the camera is fixed into the automated coffee machine of the office space. The title is a French pun on “Caméra Cachée”, (literally “hidden camera”). Adaptations Caméra Café has seen great exportation success, having been adapted in: The length of an episode varies on the locale. In Quebec, where the shorter format is less prevalent than in France, episodes are 30 minutes long, commercials included (inversely, the Quebec show Un gars, une fille , originally half an hour long, was reduced to 9 minutes in its French version).

Chapters: Yet Another Setup Tool, Webmin, Ibm Aix Smit, Debconf, Gnome System Tools, Usermin, Virtualmin, Linuxconf, Web-Based System Manager, Vipw, Kbdconfig. Excerpt: YaST(Yet another Setup Tool), is an RPM-based operating system setup and configuration tool that is featured in the openSUSE Linux distribution, as well as Novell’s derived commercial distributions. It features tools that can configure many aspects of the system. It is also part of the defunct United Linux. The first SuSE distribution that included YaST was released in May, 1996. YaST is free software that Novell has made available under the GPL. YaST2 is a tool for administering and maintaining a SUSE Linux installation. It allows administrators to install software, configure hardware, set up networks and servers, and more. A feature of YaST is that it contains both GUI and ncurses front ends. This is especially useful for non-GUI installations, for system administration over slow Internet connections, and for when one is unable to boot into a graphical X server but still requires an advanced user interface to the package manager (for example, a novice user trying to downgrade an Xorg package to fix a graphical installation). YaST’s display configuration module is called SaX2 (which stands for SUSE Automated X configuration, version 2). openSUSE 10.3 features a redesigned YaST for GNOME users. Among the new modules are the “Community Repositories” which is a tool to easily add much used repositories and the KIWI imaging tool which easily lets you roll out your own custom SUSE images. YaST offers package management functionality through the ZYpp project. The first ZYpp enabled package management YaST applications had performance problems and long start up times, but was improved in the … More: |

Chapters: Marshes of Delaware, National Wildlife Refuges in Delaware, Swamps of Delaware, Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Great Cypress Swamp, Killcohook National Wildlife Refuge, Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Known to the Native American as Canaresse, meaning “at the thickets,” and later referred to as Ruyge-Bosje, meaning “shaggy bushes” or thicket, Bombay Hook received its final name from the corruption of the Dutch “Boompjes” or “Boompjes Hoeck” meaning “little-tree point.” In 1679 Mechacksett, chief of Kahansink sold Bombay Hook wetlands to Peter Bayard, an early Dutch settler. The price for the area was 1 gun, 4 handfuls of powder, 3 waistcoats, 1 anchor of liquor and 1 kettle. In 1682, a canal was built from the town of Smyrna to the Delaware Bay; this waterway became the Smyrna River. The Bombay Hook Lighthouse (also called the Smyrna River Lighthouse) was built by the US Government in 1831. The lighthouse was later automated in 1912 and an unmanned light was installed. Arsonists burned the abandoned structure in the early 1970s. The Allee House, still standing on the refuge, was built in 1753 by Abraham Allee, a Huguenot refugee from Artois, France. It is currently on the National Register of Historic Places. The house remains in nearly original condition. In 1848, a hotel was built on Bombay Hook Island, making the island a popular resort area. By 1870, the steamer Pilot Boy was making regular trips between Bombay Hook and Philadelphia. In 1878, a severe storm referred to by local residents as the “great tidal-wave” destroyed summer resorts on Collins and Fraland Beach. The storm changed the biological make-up of Bombay Hook.

Xrumer $37.99 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! XRumer is a Windows program that posts forum spam with the aim of boosting search engine rankings. It has been claimed that the program is able to bypass techniques commonly used by many websites to deter automated spam, such as account registration, CAPTCHAs, and e-mail activation before posting. The program makes heavy use of a database of known open proxies in an attempt to make it more difficult for administrators to block posts. In addition, the software can avoid the suspicions of forum administrators by first registering to make a post in the form of a question which mentions the spam product (“Where can I get…?”), before registering another account to post a spam link which mentions the product. |
