Core Animation for Mac OS X and the iPhone

Animation has been an important part of the Mac OS X user interface since the beginning. You’ve probably seen the Genie effect so many times that you hardly notice it anymore. But I still remember the first time I saw a QuickTime movie being minimized via Genie. The movie kept playing as the window shrank and distorted onto the Dock. That knocked my socks off. Or how about the first time yo…

Confessions of an IT Manager

During my career as an IT professional, strange things have always seemed to happen to me. The true incidents I describe in the chapters that lie ahead are those that are intended to illustrate a point about working in IT. There are many such incidents that I cannot talk about because, in doing so, I would reveal my true identity. Many cannot be used because they are unrelated to the themes of …

Concepts in Spin Electronics

Nowadays information technology is based on semiconductor and ferromagnetic materials. Information processing and computation are performed using electron charge by semiconductor transistors and integrated circuits, but on the other hand the information is stored on magnetic high-density hard disks by electron spins. Recently, a new branch of physics and nanotechnology, called magneto- electron…

MONETARY POLICY IN THE UK

We argue in this contribution that the institutional dimension of the Bank of England (BoE) monetary policy and the role the UK HM Treasury assumes in this framework are both firmly based on the New Consensus in Macroeconomics (NCM), a theoretical framework upon which also the Inflation Targeting policy element is firmly based. This paper discusses these aspects of the UK monetary policy, a…

Computers, Phones, and the Internet: Domesticating Information Technology

In the 20th century, new information technology has the potential to influence the lives of ordinary citizens as much as it has influenced business, edu- cation, and government. In many of the countries in Europe, North America, and Asia, the majority of individuals and households are using personal computers, the Internet, and mobile telephones. In the United States, this equipment is often re…

Revisiting the Asian Financial Crisis

The Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 is now seen as one of the most significant economic events in recent world history. The crisis began in early July 1997, when the Thai baht was floated, and spread into a virulent contagion—leaping from Thailand to South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. It led to severe currency depreciations and an economic recession that threatened to er…

Computers at Risk: Safe Computing in the Information Age

Computer systems are coming of age. As computer systems become more prevalent, sophisticated, embedded in physical processes, and interconnected, society becomes more vulnerable to poor system design, accidents that disable systems, and attacks on computer systems. Without more responsible design and use, system disruptions will increase, with harmful consequences for society. They will also re…

THE A-Z OF MEDICAL WRITING

This book has not been written to be read – at least in the usual sense of starting at the beginning, ploughing on to the end, and then remembering (at best) one or two points. I have written it for a completely different purpose, which has come from my experiences over the past 10 years working with doctors and other health professionals to sort out a wide range of writing problems

Handbook of Labor Economics

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of decomposition methods that have been developed since the seminal work of Oaxaca and Blinder in the early 1970s. These methods are used to decompose the difference in a distributional statistic between two groups, or its change over time, into various explanatory factors. While the original work of Oaxaca and Blinder considered the case of the me…

Comparative E-Government

Electronic government or e-government has impacted all countries of the world. E-government is not just a movement that has transpired in one particular country, it is truly a global phenomenon, impacting both developed and developing nations. Essentially, e-government has influenced nations on all corners of the earth to dif- ferent degrees. The discussion of e-government does not necessarily…

Communications and Technology for Violence Prevention

The past 25 years have seen a major paradigm shift in the field of violence prevention, from the assumption that violence is inevitable to a recognition that violence is preventable. As evidence-based interventions increasingly demonstrate measurable impacts on the prevalence of violence, those who work in the field of violence prevention face the challenge of finding new ways to disseminate in…

Principles of Information Security

Principles of Information Security, Fourth Edition, is structured to follow a model called the security systems development life cycle (or SecSDLC). This structured methodology can be used to implement information security in an organization that has little or no formal informa- tion security measures in place. SecSDLC can also serve as a method for improving established information security pr…

Statistics for Economics, Business Administration, and the Social Sciences

This book is a revised version in English of a text originally written in Danish for a first course in applied statistics for students of economics, public administration and business administration. A limited knowledge of mathematics is required for understanding the text, except for a single chapter where some knowledge of elementary matrix algebra is necessary. Complicated mathematical …

Automating ActionScript Projects with Eclipse and Ant

Let me start by saying I’m a lazy developer by design. I’d rather spend a day to code something once than code the same task over and over again. The same goes for processes: why do repetitive tasks if you can automate them? Imagine all the time you’ll save. We live in a world where time is scarce and where project managers are breathing down our necks to get that specific feature, th…

CMOS Time-Mode Circuits and Systems Fundamentals and Applications

The rapid scaling of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology has resulted in the sharp increase of time resolution and the continuous decrease of voltage headroom. As a result, time-mode circuits where information is represented by the time difference between the occurrence of digital events, rather than the nodal voltages or branch currents of electric networks, offer a viabl…

AspectJ in Action PRACTICAL ASPECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

I’ve always felt that implementing a software system is much harder than it needs to be. It is difficult to map requirements to the implementation and then trace the implementation back to the requirements. Although many approaches—such as object-oriented programming, component-oriented programming, and design patterns—help to some extent, none of them satisfactorily addresses the sy…

Cisco Router Configuration Handbook

There are many sources of information and documentation for configuring Cisco networking devices, but few provide a quick and portable solution for networking professionals. This book is designed to provide a quick-and-easy reference guide for a wide range of commonly used features that can be configured on Cisco routers. In essence, the subject matter from an entire bookshelf of Cisco IOS Soft…

E-Learning and Management Information Systems For E-Universities

During our work as supervisors in Faculty of Computers and Information Sciences in Mansoura University, Egypt, we were really frustrated with the number of graduation projects entitled or include “E-Learning” leading to the spread of a type of E-Learning graduation projects that focuses on the managerial aspects of the “University”, and abstracting the learning process in the uploadi…

China and Cybersecurity

The information revolution has been a mixed blessing for China and the world. On one hand, computer networks have enhanced economic productivity, national security, and social interaction. In 2009 alone the Internet contributed to 2.6% of gross domestic product (GDP) growth in China and 3.8% in the United States. The Internet contribution to GDP growth from 2004 to 2009 averaged 21% for mature …
