Inside SQLite
Publisher: O'Reilly | Number Of Pages: 76 | Publication Date: April 15, 2007 | ISBN: 0596550065 | 1MB

SQLite is a small, zero-configuration, custom-tailored, embeddable, threadsafe, easily maintainable, transactionoriented, SQL-based, relational database management system. There is no separate install or setup procedure to initialize SQLite before using it. There is no configuration file.

SQLite is open source, and is available in the public domain (for more information on open source, visit http:// opensource.org). You can download SQLite source code from its homepage http://www.sqlite.org, compile it using your favorite C compiler, and start using the compiled library. SQLite runs on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and a few other operating systems. It has been widely used in low-to-medium tier database applications.

This Short Cut discusses design principles, engineering trade-offs, implementation issues, and operations of SQLite. It presents a comprehensive description of all important components of the SQLite engine.

Mechanisms of Memory
Publisher: Academic Press | Number Of Pages: 350 | Publication Date: 2003-10-16 | ISBN : 0126789576 | 15 MB

This book stands as the first unified overview of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying higher-order learning and memory. It integrates modern discoveries concerning learning and memory disorders such as mental retardation syndromes and Alzheimer's Disease, while also emphasizing the results gained from the cutting-edge research methodologies of genetic engineering, complex behavioral characterization, proteomics, and molecular biology. This book provides a foundation of experimental design that will be useful to all students pursuing an interest in laboratory research. This book is an enlightening and invaluable resource for anyone concerned with memory mechanisms.

* Presents a unified view of memory mechanisms from behavior to genes and drawing examples from many different brain regions, types of learning, and various animal model systems
* Includes numerous practical examples for the new investigator on how to implement research program in the area of learning and memory
* Provides a balanced treatment of the strengths and weaknesses in modern experimental design

Network Warrior
Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. | Number Of Pages: 598 | Publication Date: 2007-06-21 | ISBN : 0596101511 | 9 MB

Written by networking veteran with 20 years of experience, Network Warrior provides a thorough and practical introduction to the entire network infrastructure, from cabling to the routers. What you need to learn to pass a Cisco certification exam such as CCNA and what you need to know to survive in the real world are two very different things. The strategies that this book offers weren 't on the exam, but they 're exactly what you need to do your job well.

Network Warrior takes you step by step through the world of hubs, switches, firewalls, and more, including ways to troubleshoot a congested network, and when to upgrade and why. Along the way, you 'll gain an historical perspective of various networking features, such as the way Ethernet evolved. Based on the author 's own experience as well as those he worked for and with, Network Warrior is a Cisco-centric book, focused primarily on the TCP/IP protocol and Ethernet networks -- the realm that Cisco Systems now dominates. The book covers:
The type of networks now in use, from LANs, WANs and MANs to CANs
* The OSI Model and the layers involved in sending data
* Hubs, repeaters, switches, and trunks in practice
* Auto negotiation and why it 's a common problem in network slowdowns
* Route maps, routing protocols, and switching algorithms in Cisco routers
* The resilient Ethernet -- how to make things truly redundant
* Cisco 6500 multi-layer switches and the Catalyst 3750 switch
* Telecom nomenclature -- why it 's different from the data world
* T1 and DS3
* Firewall theory, designing access lists, authentication in Cisco devices
* Server load balancing technology
* Content switch module in action
* Designing QOS and what QOS does not do
* IP design and subnetting made easy
The book also explains how to sell your ideas to management, how networks become a mess as a company grows, and why change control is your friend. Network Warrior will help network administrators and engineers win the complex battles they face every day.

Handbook of X-Ray Data

Publisher: Springer | Number Of Pages: 976 | Publication Date: 2007-03-12 | ISBN: 3540286187 | 8 MB

This sourcebook is intended as an X-ray data reference for scientists and engineers working in the field of energy or wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometry and related fields of basic and applied research, technology, or process and quality controlling. In a concise and informative manner, the most important data connected with the emission of characteristic X-ray lines are tabulated for all elements up to Z = 95 (americium).

This includes X-ray energies, emission rates and widths as well as level characteristics such as binding energies, fluorescence yields, level widths and absorption edges. The tabulated data are characterized and, in most cases, evaluated. Furthermore, all important processes and phenomena connected with the production, emission and detection of characteristic X-rays are discussed. This reference book addresses all researchers and practitioners working with X-ray radiation and fills a gap in the available literature
