The book began with an anonymous donation to the author of an 8-inch package of documents in the early
1980s. Nothing less than the membership list and supporting documents for a truly secret society the Yale Skull and
Bones.
The late Johnny Johnson, of Phoenix Arizona was the spark that moved me to write first a...
As technology feature size of devices and interconnects shrink at the rate predicted
by Moore’s law, gate density and design complexity on single integrated chip
(IC) keep increasing in recent decades. The close to nanoscale fabrication process
introduces more manufacturing errors. New failure mechanisms that are not covered...
Android phones are a great platform for developing apps, but sometimes it is nice if those apps go beyond the built-in hardware of the phone and connect to some homemade electronics.
The IOIO board allows you to do just that, and this book will show you how to use the IOIO board and interface it to various different...
The development of modern integration technologies is normally driven by the needs
of digital CMOS circuit design. As the sizes of integrated devices decrease, so maximum
voltage ratings also rapidly decrease. Although decreased supply voltages do not
restrict the design of digital circuits, it is harder to design high performance...
There has never been a better time to have a keen interest in commerce. The Web has
truly accelerated globalization and connected us all through a common network. Information
can now be shared at mind-boggling rates, and entrepreneurs everywhere
can truly reach a global audience if they’re clever (and...
We are all familiar with the adage “You are what you eat.” Well, imagine how much more applicable that
would be if we ate the same thing every day. That is the case with our four-legged companions. All of
their nutrition comes from the food that we provide for them, and that puts a tremendous responsibility
on us to...
Welcome to Upgrading and Repairing PCs, 20th edition. Since debuting as the first book of its kind on the market in 1988, no other book on PC hardware has matched the depth and quality of the information found in this tome. This edition continues Upgrading and Repairing PCs’ role as not only the best-selling book of...
In my conversations with customers, partners, and peers, one topic seems to bubble to the surface more than any other: How do I financially justify the move to the cloud?
Initially, the notion of a business case for cloud computing seemed almost redundant. It seemed to me that the cost savings associated with...
When I was 10 years old, I purchased an introductory electronics book at a local pharmacy. I cherished this book because I knew it contained marvelous and fascinating knowledge about electronics—an awesome, mysterious, and exciting field that was to become the literal foundation of the next step in human progress. Unfortunately, after...
The human central nervous system or neuraxis
consists of the brain (encephalon) and the spinal
cord (medulla spinalis). The brain is encased by
the skull; the spinal cord lies within the spinal
canal, extending from the foramen magnum to
the level of the second lumbar vertebra. Globally,
the brain can be subdivided into...
