Programming on Parallel Machines

Parallel machines provide a wonderful opportunity for applications with large computational requirements. Effective use of these machines, though, requires a keen understanding of how they work. This chapter provides an overview of both the software and hardware.

Can Economic Growth Be Sustained

Yujiro Hayami and Vernon Ruttan worked well together; they did so because they had a profound respect for each other. That respect was the bridge to listening and thinking together in ways that allowed them to build an important theoretical perspective referred to as the “most widely accepted model used today both for understanding agricultural growth processes and as the basis for agricultur…

Perl and XML

XML is a text-based markup language that has taken the programming world by storm. More powerful than HTML yet less demanding than SGML, XML has proven itself to be flexible and resilient. XML is the perfect tool for formatting documents with even the smallest bit of complexity, from Web pages to legal contracts to books. However, XML has also proven itself to be indispensable for organizing an…

Banking with Integrity

In medicine, an illness is diagnosed by reading signs and symptoms. One way for the doctor to gain a higher degree of confidence in the diagnosis is to check whether there is a family history of similar conditions. In addition, the doctor can examine people who live in similar conditions yet who are not ill (if available). Such people can help the doctor assess, through comparison to the patien…

AESTHETICS AS PHENOMENOLOGY

This is a book about the experience of art. As the title Aesthetics as Phenomenology suggests, Günter Figal takes a phenomenological approach to aesthetic experience, rendering an account of what unifies it and distinguishes it from other experiences. In taking this approach, he aims to avoid the many pitfalls and dead ends of prior aesthetic theories, which in his view have either failed to …

Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis

This book is concerned with signal analysis in its broadest sense. Usually, signals are modeled as functions in suitable spaces such as L2, the space of square integrable functions, or Sobolev spaces. Signals might be given explicitly as, for example, in image analysis or implicitly, as solutions of operator equations. In either case, the problem of interest is to analyze and process these sign…

Advances in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory

Relativistic quantum field theory was conceived in the late 1920s as a framework unifying the two fundamental theories that revolutionized physics in the twentieth century: Quantum Mechanics and the Special Theory of Relativity. Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT) is relativistic quantum field theory regarded from a certain perspective, emphasizing localization of observables in space and tim…

Advances in Biometrics for Secure Human Authentication and Recognition

The uniqueness of the physiological and behavioral characteristics of human beings is used to facilitate the identification or verification process, and it always results in correct classification. However, the distinctive evidence obtained from an individual does not guarantee a 100% matching be performed to the biometric characteristics corresponding another subject, even after considering al…

PHP: The Good Parts

This book has been a rather long time in the making. I have been using PHP for many years now, and have grown to love it more and more for its simplistic approach to programming, its flexibility, and its power. Of all the programming languages I have used throughout my over 20-year career, PHP is my favorite, hands down. PHP has grown from a small set of functions to a very large volume of func…

Picturing Programs An introduction to computer programming

Computers don’t naturally understand human languages such as English. Instead, we invent artificial languages to communicate with them. These artificial languages are typically much simpler than any human language, so it’s easier to learn them than for, say, an English speaker to learn Chinese. But it’s still hard work. As with any language, you’ll need to learn the spelling, punctuat…

Practical RichFaces

We have been involved with JSF and RichFaces for many years now, including teaching JSF and RichFaces courses for many years. From our experience, we have come to realize that many developers are using RichFaces and JSF without understanding the full potential of the technology. Without this understanding, developers can't fully utilize the framework. Of course, after a bit of trial and error,…

Pragmatic Guide to Git

The world of version control systems(VCSs) has undergone a major shift over the past few years. Fast, reliable,and approachable distributed version control systems(DVCSs) such as Git have burst on to the scene and changed the land scape of open source software development and corporate software workflows. This book is your guide to this new paradigm.It’s not a complete reference; instead,it …

Pro ASP.Net MVC 3 Framework

With Web Forms, Microsoft attempted to hide both HTTP (with its intrinsic statelessness) and HTML (which at the time was unfamiliar to many developers) by modeling the user interface (UI) as a hierarchy of server-side control objects. Each control kept track of its own state across requests (using the View State facility), rendering itself as HTML when needed and automatically connecting client…

Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform

This book has existed, in one form or another, since the first release of C# and the .NET Platform was published in step with Microsoft’s release of .NET 1.0 Beta 2 (circa the summer of 2001). Since that point, I have been extremely happy to see that this text continues to be very well received by the press. Over the years, it was nominated as a 2002 Jolt Award finalist (I lost, but hey, life…

Pro HTML5 Programming

This book is about HTML5 Programming. Before you can understand HTML5 programming, however, you need to take a step back and understand what HTML5 is, a bit of the history behind it, and the differences between HTML 4 and HTML5. In this chapter, we get right to the practical questions to which everyone wants answers. Why HTML5, and why all the excitement just now? What are the new design princi…

Pro Java 8 Programming

It’s been a while since I last revised this material and even longer than that since the first edition was published. In that time the technologies that Java programmers use have changed quite a bit and there’s no doubt that if I were writing this book for the first time I would do some things differently. For example, I’d place more of an emphasis on technologies related to web developme…

Pro PHP Programming

We have kept it as modern as possible with the fast-paced world of the Internet. We take the reader from an intermediate level to a more advanced level of this great programming language.

Pro Spring Batch

But the fact is, the business world runs on batch. Your bank and 401k statements are all generated via batch processes. The e-mails you receive from your favorite stores with coupons in them? Probably sent via batch processes. Even the order in which the repair guy comes to your house to fix your laundry machine is determined by batch processing. In a time when we get our news from Twitter, Goo…

Professional ios Programming

My first experience with a computer was at the age of 15 at a technical high school in the Netherlands where I was introduced to the Sinclair ZX-81. It was a little computer with only 16 KB of memory, but it was amazing and I started programming on it from day one. In 1981 when the hardware and software revolution started, I moved on to an Exidy Sourcer and the Commodore 64, soon followed by my…
