Python is a dynamic programming language, which is completely enterprise ready, owing largely to the variety of support modules that are available to extend its capabilities. In order to build productive and feature-rich Python applications, we need to use MySQL for Python, a module that provides database support to our applications. Although...
What did publicity look like before the eighteenth century? What were its uses and effects, and around whom was it organized? The essays in this collection ask these questions of early modern London. Together, they argue that commercial theater was a vital engine in celebrity’s production. The men and women associated...
The target audience for this work includes systems programmers and administrators who are looking for assistance in implementing Samba in new and existing Windows and UNIX environments. A basic overview of both UNIX and Windows system and network architectures is provided to assist those readers whose primary background may be in one or the other...
Facilitating high data transfers over long distances at a reasonable cost, Carrier Ethernet is solidifying its fundamental position as the core of next-generation networks. Since it first dazzled the IT world 40 years ago with its ability to move data over local networks, Ethernet has dramatically evolved in both form and function. And now, Carrier...
For developers with a little PHP know-how, this book will quickly have you exploiting both the basic and advanced features of Magento. Packed with practical recipes, it helps you build a truly impressive customized online store.
This brief provides an elementary introduction to the theory of piecewise differentiable functions with an emphasis on differentiable equations. In the first chapter, two sample problems are used to motivate the study of this theory. The presentation is then developed using two basic tools for the analysis of piecewise differentiable...
Control of flexible beam systems constitutes an important benchmark problem in
many application areas, such as flexible manipulators for grasping, marine mooring
lines for station keeping, marine risers for oil transportation, and crane cables for
positioning the payload. Flexible systems have a number of advantages...
Hack Proofing Linux: A Guide to Open Source Security is designed to help you deploy a Linux system on the Internet in a variety of security roles.This book provides practical instructions and pointers concerning the open source security tools that we use every day.
Why would I write a book on sleep? After all, everyone sleeps, it looks easy, and nothing much seems to happen while you’re doing it. That’s what I used to think before I started studying sleep. I first came across the intricacies and mysteries of sleep as an undergraduate studying psychobiology at UCLA in the 1970s. I was amazed at how...
Algebraic geometry has found fascinating applications to coding theory
and cryptography in the last few decades. This book aims to provide the
necessary theoretical background for reading the contemporary literature on
these applications. An aspect that we emphasize, as it is very useful for
the applications, is the interplay between...
This book deals with the problem of optimal allocation of effort to detect a
target. A Bayesian approach is taken in which it is assumed that there is a
prior distribution for the target's location which is known to the searcher as
well as a function which relates the conditional probability of detecting...
Cutting-edge articles review our current understanding of lipid microdomain signaling mechanisms and their physiological and pathological importance. The book describes the role of lipid rafts in learning, memory, and cancer, presents the emerging evidence that lipid rafts play critical roles in signaling pathways and the regulation of...
