When you think of someone launching a start-up, the image of a twenty-something techie probably springs to mind. However, Gen Xers and Baby Boomers are just as likely to start businesses and reinvent themselves later in life. Never Too Old to Get Rich is an exciting...
Remote sensing has entered a new era in the twenty-first century with a
series of operating satellites from the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS)
program, other international programs, and commercial programs. Since
November 2000 the first civilian spaceborne hyperspectral sensor, Hyperion,
has observed land surfaces on the...
In this follow-up to her bestselling Sex with Kings, Eleanor Herman reveals the truth about what goes on behind the closed door of a queen's boudoir. Impeccably researched, filled with page-turning romance, passion, and scandal, Sex with the Queen explores the scintillating sexual lives of some of our most
The iPad 2 and the original iPad, taken together, are the biggest thing to
hit computing in years. Drawing on the best of Apple’s iPhone and iPod
touch products, and Apple’s Macintosh personal computers, while introducing
a whole new way of seeing and interacting with information, the
two new devices have grabbed the...
This book focuses on various aspects of research on ageing, including in relation to assistive technology; dignity of aging; how technology can support a greater understanding of the experience of physically aging and cognitive changes; mobility issues associated with the elderly; and emerging technologies.
The N1 Grid is Sun's vision, strategy, and architecture—and a set of products—that redefine the nature of data center computing. The N1 Grid architecture uses the network, physically and logically, as its fundamental organizing principle.
This book enables the reader to implement service-centric data center solutions through...
Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g is an integrated collection of software applications built upon the foundational technology components of the Oracle Database and Application Server, that provide business users with the ability to communicate, exchange critical information, and work together in real-time regardless of where they are physically...
The Israeli department of defence has one of the strictest information security guidelines in the world, and a part of these guidelines is the requirement to have complete physical separation between the public and internal networks. A regular firewall just won't do, and this requirement gave birth to the concept of the
Air-Gap, a...
The relatively recent increase in computational power available for mathematical modeling and simulation raises the possibility that modern numerical methods can play a significant role in the analysis of complex particulate flows. This introductory monograph focuses on basic models and physically based computational solution strategies for the...
Starting with novel algorithms for optimally updating bounding volume hierarchies of objects undergoing arbitrary deformations, the author presents a new data structure that allows, for the first time, the computation of the penetration volume. The penetration volume is related to the water displacement of the overlapping region, and thus...
