Oracle Database Administration for Microsoft SQL Server DBAs, by Malcher


Oracle Database Administration for Microsoft SQL Server DBAs, by Malcher
McGraw-Hill | 2010 | ISBN: 0071744312 | English | Pages: 352 | PDF | 5.8 MB


Written by an Oracle ACE, this Oracle Press guide helps experienced Microsoft SQL Server database administrators (DBAs) work seamlessly with the Oracle Database in a mixed-database environment.
Oracle Database Administration for Microsoft SQL Server DBAs takes the administration topics with which the SQL Server DBA is familiar, translates them into Oracle terms, and then expands on Oracle functionality. Definitions and comparative terms run throughout the book so the SQL Server DBA can easily leverage existing knowledge. This Oracle Press guide also expands on some of the features in Oracle that do not match up directly with SQL Server, and looks at other processes often performed on an Oracle database that would not typically be a standard practice in SQL Server environments.

Values, Religions and Education in Changing Societies


Values, Religions and Education in Changing Societies By Karin Sporre, Jan Mannberg
Publisher: Springer 2010 | 145 Pages | ISBN: 9048196272 | PDF | 1 MB



Education is a societal matter and takes place in relation to societal changes. Today, in many countries, it has to grapple with diversity and differences brought about by migration and changes in gender relations. Questions of values, human rights and the role of religions are raised. In this book scholars from Sweden, Norway, Germany, Great Britain, Canada, Namibia and South Africa discuss the issues above. Similarities as well as differences are highlighted. The varied contributors engage in a North-South dialogue. Among the questions addressed are: Can the Scandinavian countries be understood as more religious than their up-to-date, seemingly secularist reputation has led us to believe? How do some European, Muslim, Christian and secular pupils understand the religious education they receive? Could a global citizenship education, with a gendered understanding as an integral part, be accomplished? ‘Diversity’ and ‘social justice’: what does it take to theoretically integrate these two crucial parameters in education, in South Africa, and in Sweden? The role of religious and values education under changing circumstances is explored through the diverse contributions, that also challenge the hegemony of a Western understanding of democracy, among other values. The purpose of this is to assess what could now constitute global educational common ground.

Philosophy of Mathematics: Selected Writings (Selections from the Writings of Charles S. Peirce)


Philosophy of Mathematics: Selected Writings (Selections from the Writings of Charles S. Peirce)
Indiana University Press (July 29, 2010) | ISBN: 0253222656 025335563X | 336 pages | PDF | 4 MB

The philosophy of mathematics plays a vital role in the mature philosophy of Charles S. Peirce. Peirce received rigorous mathematical training from his father and his philosophy carries on in decidedly mathematical and symbolic veins. For Peirce, math was a philosophical tool and many of his most productive ideas rest firmly on the foundation of mathematical principles. This volume collects Peirce's most important writings on the subject, many appearing in print for the first time. Peirce's determination to understand matter, the cosmos, and "the grand design" of the universe remain relevant for contemporary students of science, technology, and symbolic logic.

Migration and Human Rights: The United Nations Convention on Migrant Workers' Rights


Ryszard Cholewinski, Paul de Guchteneire, Antoine Pecoud, "Migration and Human Rights: The United Nations Convention on Migrant Workers' Rights"
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | 2010 | ISBN 0521199468 | PDF | 472 pages | 1.8 MB

The UN Convention on Migrant Workers' Rights is the most comprehensive international treaty in the field of migration and human rights. Adopted in 1990 and entered into force in 2003, it sets a standard in terms of access to human rights for migrants. However, it suffers from a marked indifference: only forty states have ratified it and no major immigration country has done so. This highlights how migrants remain forgotten in terms of access to rights. Even though their labour is essential in the world economy, the non-economic aspect of migration - and especially migrants' rights - remain a neglected dimension of globalisation. This volume provides in-depth information on the Convention and on the reasons behind states' reluctance towards its ratification. It brings together researchers, international civil servants and NGO members and relies upon an interdisciplinary perspective that includes not only law, but also sociology and political science.

Satellite Meteorology


Satellite Meteorology By R.R. Kelkar
Publisher: BS Publications 2007 | 267 Pages | ISBN: 8178001373 | PDF | 16 MB



Fifty years ago, satellite meteorology did not exist except perhaps in science fiction. Today, satellite images of the world's weather, animated sequences of tropical storms, 5-day weather forecasts, are all being beamed through satellite channels into our television sets every hour or half-hour. Anyone, not just meteorologists, can access the latest images scanned by meteorological satellites around the world, on home pes connected to the internet. The fascinating origin of satellite meteorology as an independent branch of the science of meteorology, and its phenomenal growth, have indeed had a touch of fantasy. What satellite meteorology happens to be today, is the result of an interplay of science on one hand, and the technology of satellites, computers and communications on the other. Limitations of technology have been overcome by scientific ingenuity, and the requirements of science have driven technology to the cutting edge.

The Real Environmental Crisis: Why Poverty, Not Affluence, Is the Environment's Number One Enemy


Jack M. Hollander, "The Real Environmental Crisis: Why Poverty, Not Affluence, Is the Environment's Number One Enemy "
Publisher: University of California Press | 2004 | ISBN 0520243285 | PDF | 251 pages | 1.7 MB

Jack Hollander has managed to write a book that is not only informative but also speaks to the general public. In an age where environmentalism has turned into either an intellectual debate (nobody can understand it) or a political agenda (nobody cares to understand it), Hollander has brushed aside the traditional jargon and the conventional perspective to find the underlying problem that plagues our planet and its environment. Writing with ease on all environmental subjects, from global warming to fossil fuels to agriculture, Hollander provides a solid and strong argument that poverty is the world's worst environmental problem. The text is lucid and reads like a novel, as it was intended to appeal to intellectuals and laymen alike. Yet the author goes well beyond rhetoric--he backs his arguments up with accurate data and appropriate evidence from reliable sources. Hollander doesn't just provide optimism for the future; he lays down a framework on which that optimism is based. For the avid environmentalist, this book should be read if only to get a different perspective based not on rhetoric, but on hard facts. For the layman, like me, this book will clarify the environmental debate that has been making headline news since the 70's and will continue well into the future.

Applications of Evolutionary Computation in Chemistry by Roy L. Johnston


Applications of Evolutionary Computation in Chemistry by Roy L. Johnston (Repost)
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (April 28, 2004) | ISBN: 3540402586 | Pages: 184 | PDF | 2.79 MB

The field of Evolutionary Computation covers a wide range of computational approaches, including: Evolutionary Algorithms – of which Genetic Algorithms are probably the most widely studied; Evolutionary Strategies; and Evolutionary or Genetic Programming.

What these approaches have in common is that they are based (more or less closely) on principles of biological evolution – using operators that are analogues of natural processes (such as genetic crossover,mutation and natural selection) to explore multi-dimensional parameter spaces and perform multi-variable optimisation. In the case of Evolutionary/Genetic Programming, computer programs, algorithms or functions are evolved from simpler sub-programs, mathematical operations or functions.

Atomistic Approaches in Modern Biology (Topics in Current Chemistry) by Markus Reiher


Atomistic Approaches in Modern Biology (Topics in Current Chemistry) by Markus Reiher (Repost)
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (February 21, 2007) | ISBN: 3540380825 | Pages: 373 | PDF | 5.03 MB

This book is focused on computational molecular modeling and its applications in biology and is particularly worthwhile in two respects. First, the reader will enjoy broad yet detailed coverage of modern theoretical approaches to the structures, electronic properties, and dynamical behaviour of peptides, metalloenzymes, bioinorganic systems, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Also included are excellent methods-oriented chapters focused on Qm/MM methods, Car-Parinello molecular dynamics, and classical dynamics of biomolecules near transition states. Second, the writing and editing are of uniformly high quality. Each chapter is a valuable and timely point of entry to the literature of the subfield of computational chemistry that is being covered. Some chapters focus on the authors’ own contributions, whereas others are broader and more inclusive in scope, but all are extremely well-written and the authors do a great job of placing their own work in a larger context – something often not achieved in review series. … Overall, this volume constitutes an outstanding contribution to the Topics in Current Chemistry series.

Brain Aging: Models, Methods, and Mechanisms


Brain Aging: Models, Methods, and Mechanisms 
Publisher: CRC Press | ISBN: 0849338182 | edition 2007 | PDF | 414 pages | 13,6 mb

Recognition that aging is not the accumulation of disease, but rather comprises fundamental biological processes that are amenable to experimental study, is the basis for the recent growth of experimental biogerontology. As increasingly sophisticated studies provide greater understanding of what occurs in the aging brain and how these changes occur, new possibilities emerge for limiting the effects of aging on neural function. A single source reference is necessary to keep abreast of the recent advances and future directions of gerontology research.

  • A practical guide with working examples explained line by line 
  • Add new functions to MySQL with User Defined Functions 
  • Export information via SQL using the INFORMATION_SCHEMA plugins 
  • Search within PDFs, MP3s, and images; offset user typing errors with fulltext parser plugins 
  • Access your custom data formats with a storage engine plugin 

In Detail
MySQL has introduced a Plugin API with its latest version - a robust, powerful, and easy way of extending the server functionality with loadable modules on the fly. But until now anyone wishing to develop a plugin would almost certainly need to dig into the MySQL source code and search the Web for missing bits of the information.
This is the first book on the MySQL Plugin API. Written together with one of the Plugin API primary architects, it contains all the details you need to build a plugin. It shows what a plugin should contain and how to compile, install, and package it. Every chapter illustrates the material with thoroughly explained source code examples.
Starting from the basic features, common to all plugin types, and the structure of the plugin framework, this book will guide you through the different plugin types, from simple examples to advanced ones. Server monitoring, full-text search in JPEG comments, typo-tolerant searches, getting the list of all user variables, system usage statistics, or a complete storage engine with indexes - these and other plugins are developed in different chapters of this book, demonstrating the power and versatility of the MySQL Plugin API and explaining the intricate details of MySQL Plugin programming.
A hands-on guide for MySQL application developers to creating feature-rich plug-ins

What you will learn from this book
  • Build and install a plugin, and learn how to package it for distributing separately from MySQL 
  • Add new functions to MySQL using the UDF interface 
  • Declare new MySQL status and configuration variables from a plugin, and use Daemon plugins for a simple push style server monitoring 
  • Add a new table to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA that shows anything you like with an INFORMATION_SCHEMA plugin 
  • Use fulltext parser plugins to tolerate user errors, and search for text in binary data formats, for example, JPEG, or text that is stored outside the database 
  • Store and retrieve rows and convert your custom data format to what MySQL understands using the storage engine plugin 
  • Create a parser that indexes comments from JPEG files using the libexif library 
  • Understand how the indexing API works, and how to work around the incompatibilities between your indexing engine and MySQL expectations 
  • Learn about new features of the Plugin API, available beyond MySQL 5.1 

EJB 3.0 Database Persistence with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g


EJB 3.0 Database Persistence with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g By Deepak Vohra
Publisher: Packt Publishing 2010 | 448 Pages | ISBN: 1849681562 | PDF | 15 MB

  • A complete guide to building EJB 3.0 database persistent applications with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g tools 
  • Integrate EJB 3.0 database persistence with Oracle Fusion Middleware tools: WebLogic Server, JDeveloper, and Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 
  • Automatically create EJB 3.0 entity beans from database tables 
  • Learn to wrap entity beans with session beans and create EJB 3.0 relationships 
  • Apply JSF and ADF Faces user interfaces (UIs) to EJB 3.0 database persistence 
  • A practical guide illustrated with examples to integrate EJB 3.0 database persistence with Ajax and Web Services 

In Detail 
EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) 3.0 is a commonly used database persistence technology in Java EE applications. EJB 3.0 has simplified the development of EJBs with an annotations-based API that eliminates the use of remote/local interfaces, home/local home interfaces, and deployment descriptors. A number of other books are available on EJB 3.0, but none covers EJB 3.0 support in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, which is one of the leaders in the application server market.
This is the first book that covers all aspects of EJB 3.0 database persistence development using Oracle Fusion Middleware technology. It covers all the best practices for database persistence ensuring that your applications are easily maintainable. Leaving theory behind, this book uses real-world examples to guide you in building your own EJB 3.0 applications that are well integrated with commonly used Java EE frameworks.
The book gets going by discussing the new features in the EJB 3.0 specification. As some readers may still be using EJB 2.0, the book explains how to convert your EJB 2.0 entity beans to EJB 3.0. It then goes on to discuss using EJB 3.0 database persistence with JDeveloper, WebLogic Server, and Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, the main Java EE components of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g. The book also covers EJB 3.0 relationships and integrating EJB 3.0 relationships with JSF user interfaces. EJB 3.0 database persistence with some of the commonly used frameworks such as ADF Faces, AJAX, and Web Services is also discussed in the book. It uses the integrated WebLogic Server 11g in some of the chapters and the standalone WebLogic Server in other chapters. While JDeveloper is the primary Java IDE used in the book, one of the chapters is based on the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse.
By the time you reach the end of this book, you will be well-versed with developing EJB 3.0 applications using the different Java EE components of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.
A practical guide illustrated with examples for developing EJB 3.0 applications integrated with commonly used Java EE frameworks such as JSF, Web Services, Ajax, and ADF Faces

Unstoppable Confidence


Unstoppable Confidence by Ross Jeffries 
Publisher: Ross Jeffries 2006 | ISBN n/a | Language English | Audio CD in MP3 | 11 MB

Forget the application or potential results market of these techniques and product. Although if you're wanting to be an NLPer/Hypnotherapist full time. You'll eventually have to find your own niche to apply your trade.

Everyone is not your market. NLP and Hypnosis aren't market areas. They are topics or areas of interest. Who do you want to help with your tools? That is your market.

The unstoppable confidence tapes are very short collection of audios. Each audio is a little piece of fluff and an exercise.They are pretty old in terms of quality. They came out when cassettes were still the norm.

The techniques that are presented are what you might know as basic NLP techniques. Yet, there in lie there simplicity. I first heard the tape set some 4/5 years, certainly one technique with pretty spectacular and with very public results.

I recently discovered them again as I cleaned up my backup hard drive. I gave them another whirl.

The first 'technique' is a collection of affirmations - all pretty simple. You just read them over the next week or so and combine them with the other exercises and notice the results.

The 2nd exercise is building a 40ft tall, powerful and confident you. With so many people suffering from low self-esteem, this type of exercise should be taught in schools. Each time I hear a technique like this, my 40ft me, becomes even more powerful, creative, down right strong and all it takes is a few seconds. As a side note Richard Bandler, does a great one with black panther! This 40ft tall confident you is used through out all the other exercises.

Exercise 3, is building a 'film strip' or movie of how you want things to go. This is a take on a new behaviour generator. This, like all the techniqes presented could be applied to any field or endevour in your life.

Basically you are imaging a time when you want success. You build together several still slides of an event. You'll associate to several (step into the slide and see things through your own eyes).

This one for me the last time I was using it consistently was really, really powerful. With your film strip, you fill in enough details on the map so you know where you are going, yet you don't fill out everything. That way you have room and flexibility in your behaviour and responses as events unfold. There are always many different routes that can get you to your final destination.

Whenever anybody new comes into our group, after a few cheeky beverages, some of the older lads love regailing this story about me, one snakebit black fueled night a few years ago.

What they all don't know is that it all happened because of my film strip at the time. I programmed it all to happen. In fact it was even better than my film strip that I had imagined!

Thanks unconscious mind.

Exericse 4. This is all about using the fast phobia cure for replaying times when things didn't go your way. You'll also discover your time line direction too and build a successful past so that your future naturally becomes a lot brighter.

The end is Ross, telling you what to do when you're stuck in given situations. He gives a good use for the swish pattern. Then some internal voice exercises. Then there is a bonus manifestation track and guided imagery track.

Whilst you may not like the fact that these are positioned to help men, seduce women.

Women also have a choice in these things. The techniques and simple explanations are still powerful. Try it, you might like it and surprise yourself in many areas of your life with the results.

IP Network-based Multi-agent Systems for Industrial Automation: Information Management


IP Network-based Multi-agent Systems for Industrial Automation: Information Management, Condition Monitoring and Control of Power Systems 
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 1846286468 | edition 2006 | PDF | 197 pages | 14 mb

A mobile agent is a software program with the capability to suspend its execution and resume it on another computer. Agents are a relatively recent development in computer science, which have become a popular and useful methodology for the modelling and implementation of distributed systems, particularly those consisting of a number of largely autonomous components. The extensive use of multi-agent systems in various areas including information management, industrial control and manufacturing systems, suggests that the multi-agent systems methodology may also be appropriate for the design of power system automation systems.
