Data Structures and Problem Solving Using C++

Data Structures and Problem Solving Using C++ .
By Mark Allen Weiss Data Structures and Problem Solving Using C++ provides an introduction to data structures and algorithms from the viewpoint of abstract thinking and problem solving, as well as the use of C++. It is a complete revision of Weiss' successful CS2 book Algorithms, Data Structures, and Problem Solving with C++. Throughout this edition, Mark Allen Weiss has included the latest features of the C++ programming language-making prevalent use of the Standard Template Library (STL) wherever appropriate. He has also included a new chapter covering Patterns, as well as new material on templates, vectors and push_back. C++ allows the programmer to write the interface and implementation separately, to place them in separate files and compile separately, and to hide the implementation details. This book goes a step further: The interface and implementation are discussed in separate parts of the book. Part I (Objects and C++), Part II (Algorithms and Building Blocks), and Part III (Applications) lay the groundwork by discussing basic concepts and tools and providing some practical examples, but implementation of data structures are not shown until Part IV (Implementations). This separation of interface and implementation promotes abstract thinking. Class interfaces are written and used before the implementation is known, forcing the reader to think about the functionality and potential efficiency of the various data structures (e.g. hash tables are written well before the hash table is implemented). This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

How to Cheat at Configuring Exchange Server 2007: Including Outlook Web, Mobile, and Voice Access

How to Cheat at Configuring Exchange Server 2007: Including Outlook Web, Mobile, and Voice Access
By Henrik Walther According to Microsoft, Exchange Server delivers over 75% of all corporate e-mail. The 2007 release is the fist major overhaul since 2003. It attempts to address the challenge of delivering greater performance and accessibility while increasing protection against a new generation of high risk security threats. Microsoft has added many new features that dramatically improve the scope of Exchange Server and the Outlook web client, positioning the platform as a groupware and collaboration tool that is accessible to remote and wireless users as will as those wired directly to the corporate intranet. The typical SysAdmin needs a reference that cuts through all the complexity and seldom-used features to get the product successfully deployed as efficiently as possible -exactly the job of the "How to Cheat" series.

Operating Systems Design and Implementation (3rd Edition)

Operating Systems Design and Implementation (3rd Edition)
Most books on operating systems deal with theory while ignoring practice. While the usual principles are covered in detail, the book describes a small, but real UNIX-like operating system: MINIX. The book demonstrates how it works while illustrating the principles behind it. Operating Systems: Design and Implementation Second Edition provides the MINIX source code. The relevant selections of the MINIX code are described in detail. When it first came out, MINIX caused something of a revolution. Within weeks, it had its own newsgroup on USENET, with 40,000 people. Most wanted to make MINIX bigger and fancier. Instead, Linux was created. That has become quite popular, very large, and complicated. MINIX, on the other hand, has remained small and suitable for instruction and example. The book has been revised to include updates in MINIX, which started out as a v 7 unix clone for a floppy-disk only 8088. It is now aimed at 386, 486, and pentium machines and is based on the international posix standard instead of on v7. There are now also versions of MINIX for the Macintosh and SPARC available. Professional programmers will find this book to be a valuable resource and reference book.

BBC - Hiroshima


BBC - Hiroshima
English | Xvid | 720×416 | AC3 | 192kbps | 700MB


Information

It was the defining moment of the 20th Century - the scientific, technological, military, and political gamble of the world’s first atomic attack. This drama-documentary attempts to do what no other film has done before - to show what it is like to live through a nuclear explosion, millisecond by millisecond.

Set in the three weeks from the first test explosion in New Mexico to the eventual dropping of the bomb, the action takes viewers into the room where the crucial political decisions are made; on board the Enola Gay on her fateful voyage; inside the bomb as it explodes; and on the streets of Hiroshima when disaster strikes. Parallel storylines interweave, unfolding the action from both US and Japanese perspectives, and revealing the tensions and conflicts in the actions and minds of people who were making history. Special effects recreate the reality of the mission - even going inside the workings of the bomb - and archive film replays the horrific aftermath.

Identifying the Opportunities in Alternative Energy


Identifying the Opportunities in Alternative Energy
English | 20 pages | PDF | 1.2 MB

The prices of fossil fuels, particularly oil and natural gas, have risen sharply over the past few years. As a result, alternative sources of energy — used specifically in electricity generation and transportation — are garnering increasing attention. Although they still meet only a small percentage of global energy demand, the more commercially viable alternative energy sources are growing rapidly, presenting investors with the potential for attractive long-term opportunities.

What Do We Mean by Alternative Energy?

The alternative-energy segment of the energy industry covers a broad range of sources. These sources range from wellestablished technologies, such as nuclear energy and hydroelectric power, through high-growth segments such as wind and solar power. They also include less tried and tested alternatives, such as hydrogen-powered, fuel-cell technology for use in both electricity generation and as an alternative to gasoline in the automotive industry. These sources cover the gamut from commercially viable and fully competitive with fossil fuels to those that are at a more experimental stage of development, presenting a bigger risk for investors who want to take advantage of the increasing attractiveness of this sector.

Algorithms for VLSI Physical Design Automation


Algorithms for VLSI Physical Design Automation
Springer | 1995-06-30 | ISBN: 0792395921 | 568 pages | PDF | 25,5 MB

Algorithms for VLSI Physical Design Automation, Second Edition is a core reference text for graduate students and CAD professionals. Based on the very successful First Edition, it provides a comprehensive treatment of the principles and algorithms of VLSI physical design, presenting the concepts and algorithms in an intuitive manner. Each chapter contains 3-4 algorithms that are discussed in detail. Additional algorithms are presented in a somewhat shorter format. References to advanced algorithms are presented at the end of each chapter.
Algorithms for VLSI Physical Design Automation covers all aspects of physical design. In 1992, when the First Edition was published, the largest available microprocessor had one million transistors and was fabricated using three metal layers. Now we process with six metal layers, fabricating 15 million transistors on a chip. Designs are moving to the 500-700 MHz frequency goal. These stunning developments have significantly altered the VLSI field: over-the-cell routing and early floorplanning have come to occupy a central place in the physical design flow.
This Second Edition introduces a realistic picture to the reader, exposing the concerns facing the VLSI industry, while maintaining the theoretical flavor of the First Edition. New material has been added to all chapters, new sections have been added to most chapters, and a few chapters have been completely rewritten. The textual material is supplemented and clarified by many helpful figures.
Audience: An invaluable reference for professionals in layout, design automation and physical design.

CONSISTENCY WINS THE DOUBLE
This final year of the decade gave Ferrari the coveted 'double' - the Drivers' Championship, with Jody Scheckter in his first year with the team and Gilles Villeneuve as runner-up, and the Constructors' Cup as well. Winning three races each and seven second places between them, the duo failed to score only once, in Argentina. It was consistency rather than outright domination that did the job though, and many fans thought Villeneuve should have been champion. No-one of course guessed at the time, but Ferrari would have to wait until the following century to regain the Drivers' title.
For season-long speed the Williams-Cosworth FW07, with Saudia Airlines sponsorship, led the field, but seven retirements for Alan Jones blunted the attack despite his four victories. Team-mate Clay Regazzoni gave Frank Williams his first-ever GP victory at Silverstone but also endured five retirements. Ligier joined the enemy, used Cosworth power and, for a brief period, looked to have the best car, with Laffite winning the first two GPs of the year and new man Patrick Depailler triumphing in Spain. However, their form slumped when, after Monaco, Depailler sustained injuries in a hang-gliding accident and missed the rest of the season.
Perhaps the most technically interesting result was the winning of the French GP by the twin-turbocharged Renault Elf RS in the hands of Jean-Pierre Jabouille. It was the first-ever GP win for a turbocharged car and only the second in modern times for an all-French car and team.
The year was significant for the change in the championship scoring system, introduced to help keep the result open until the final races. Previously the organisers of the North American rounds, held in October, felt cheated when the championship was, as often happened, decided by the Italian GP the previous month. Now the season was divided into two halves, with the drivers counting their best four scores from each. This meant that, supposing Jones had won all eight races in the second half, he would not necessarily have taken the title. As it was he won four to Scheckter's three but had only four points from the first half, so even under the old system his final tally would have been lower.
Meantime, ground-effects and the search for more downforce continued apace. One development again pioneered by Lotus, Chapman and his engineers, was a measure to seal the underbody airflow within the wheelbase, namely rigid body 'skirts'. Thanks to clever interpretation of the regulations, they made contact with the track surface by moving vertically in slides. Unfortunately the Lotus 80 proved unsuccessful despite these skirts, introduced for the Spanish GP. Although Andretti finished third in that race, after a couple more tries Chapman reverted to the Type 79, now without JPS sponsorship but backed instead by Martini and Essex Petroleum. But the 79 had lost its edge.
Perhaps the most significant political move was the re-constitution of the GPDA (Grand Prix Drivers' Association) and, regarding safety, at least 1979 was free from fatal accidents.
