The network package provides tools for creation, access, and modification of network class objects. These objects allow for the representation of more complex structures than can be readily handled by other means (e.g., adjacency matrices), and are substantially more efficient in handling large, sparse networks. While the full capabilities of the network class can only be exploited by means o…
The Network Advertising Initiative (NAV) is the leading non-profit, self-regulatory body governing advertising technology providers in the online advertising ecosystem.
The last time Apple updated the Mac operating system—2009’s Snow Leopard release—the most noteworthy changes happened under the hood. That’s not the case with Lion, the next major version of Mac OS X. Apple has gradually pulled back the curtain on a pretty significant shift for the Mac OS, influenced in large part by Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS. Lion’s big changes naturall…
Modern networking applications require a sophisticated approach to carrying data from one machine to another. If you are managing a Linux machine that has many users, each of whom may wish to simultaneously connect to remote hosts on a network, you need a way of allowing them to share your network connection without interfering with each other. The approach that a large number of modern network…
This book provides a basic description and evaluation of clinical theory and research regarding psychopathology. It is intended primarily as an advanced text for psychopathology courses taught to graduate students in clinical, counseling, and school psychology, as well as neuroscience, psychiatry, and social work. Some instructors may find it appropriate for an upper-level undergraduate course …
The new world, which we have already entered, is a world with fast changing technologies and these changes open up new opportunities for companies to communicate and work. As a consequence of this constant change of technology and due to the growing importance of the Internet, the phenomenon of Web 2.0 has occurred. The idea of Web 2.0 was generated from a brainstorming session between Tim O´R…
Themobilemultihopadhocnetworkingparadigmwasbornwiththeideaofextending Internet services to groups of mobile users. In these networks, often referred to as MANETs (Mobile Ad hoc NETworks), the wireless network nodes (e.g., the users’ mobile devices) communicate with each other to perform data transfer without the support of any network infrastructure: Nearby users can communicate directly by e…
The aim of this book is to explore the chang- ing nature of politics in the developing world in the twenty-first century. Both ‘politics’ and the ‘developing world’ are concepts that require fur- ther elaboration and which are discussed more fully below. By politics, we mean broadly activities associated with the process and institutions of gov- ernment, or the state, but in the context…
Connect your Router’s Ethernet cable to your modem’s Ethernet port (on the back of your modem). This port might be labeled differently on your particular modem. If you are adding a Router for the first time, this port may be connected to your computer by an Ethernet cable. It is OK to disconnect your computer and plug the Router into the modem instead. 2 . Plug the Router’s power supply i…
OpenStack Networking is a pluggable, scalable, and API-driven system to manage networks and IP addresses in an OpenStack-based cloud. Like other core OpenStack components, OpenStack Networking can be used by administrators and users to increase the value and maximize the utilization of existing data center resources. Neutron, the code name of OpenStack Networking, is a standalone service that c…
Ña Fabiana stacked the plastic bags full of clothes on a chair as we dis- cussed the final items that remained from her investment the previous year. She spread out the last of her inventory: soft microfleece gloves for children and adults, brightly colored striped socks with individual toes, winter coats, and children’s turtleneck shirts. Some of the clothing had become stained in storage …
This paper describes and evaluates privacy-friendly methods for extracting quasi-social networks from browser behavior on user-generated content sites, for the purpose of finding good audiences for brand advertising (as opposed to click maximizing, for example). Targeting social-network neighbors resonates well with advertisers, and on-line browsing behavior data counterintuitively can allow t…
This book tells of a journey taken by a group of service users who had attracted a diagnosis of personality disorder, a journey that spans 20 years. It is an account that aspires to show the inner world of personality disorder from the perspective of service users. It aims to examine the process of recovery for those with this diagnosis and it suggests evidence-based ways forward for support …
Social networking sites (SNS) affordances for persistent interaction, collective generation of knowledge, and formation of peer-based clusters for knowledge sharing render them useful for developing constructivist knowledge environments. However, notwithstanding their academic value, these environments are not necessarily insulated from the exercise of academic/ power. Despite a growing corpus …
Industry experience indicates that the ability to incre- mentally expand data centers is essential. However, ex- isting high-bandwidth network designs have rigid struc- ture that interferes with incremental expansion. We present Jellyfish, a high-capacity network interconnect which, by adopting a random graph topology, yields it- self naturally to incremental expansion. Somewhat sur- prisingly…
This book contains primarily papers presented at the seminar held at the inauguration of the doctoral program in psychology in May 1994, at the University of Tromsø, which is the youngest university in Norway and the northernmost university in the world (if one discounts the university branch on Svalbard at 88 degrees north). In fact, the University of Tromsø is situated on a coastal island i…
The history of humanity is essentially linked to the management of the Earth s surface. In the beginning, unknown variables and the environment controlled the nature of human settlements. Today, as we approach the end of the second millennium, the uncontrolled expansion of human settlements is modifying the environment and seriously threatening the sustainability of the whole planet. Human acti…
In 2006, Lacanians from North America, South America, and Europe, gathered in Georgia, at the University of West Georgia and at Emory University for the seventh annual conference of the Affiliated Psycho- analytic Workgroups (APW) which was devoted to the topic of addictions as approached from a Lacanian psychoanalytic orientation. The conference participants explored the complexity of the prob…
Economic competition is global, focused, and unrelenting; there is no such thing as a “safe” job. Whatever it was that formed the basis of your state’s economy 50, 25, or even 10 years ago is now at risk; and whatever it is that is coming next is hard to see or define, let alone prepare for. This came home to me in the late 1990s when the bloom of the dot com bubble was beginning to fade…
JavaGram is a new technology specifically designed to support agile development. As a language, it shares many of Java’s features – syntax, platform independence, strong type checking, object orientation, and garbage collection – but also offers capabilities that make it a much easier-to-use and productive platform, such as declarative programming, automatic remoting, asynchronous method …
There are many good reasons to reach for this book. If you have been plagued by moodiness, stress, anxiety, or depression, this is the book for you. If you are looking for a more action-based approach to mood management than that afforded by medications or psychotherapy, this is the book to read. If you have tried to exercise regularly and have failed, then this is your book. Why? Because this …
As the plan to write this book began to develop, a few central points became immediately apparent. First, the concept of violence represents a vast collection of behaviors and cognitions within a theoretical domain whose parameters are extremely ambiguous. Of course, there are distinctions between the types of violence and their nature, which can be clearly articulated, but the causal and corre…
