Реализация в компьютерных сетях технологий QoS (Quality of Service) обеспечивает надежную доставку данных приложений посредством контроля за доступом к сети, задержкой, потерей, качеством передаваемых пакетов и пропускной способностью каналов передачи информации. Функции QoS являются неотъемлемой частью современных легкомасштабируемых сетей IP. Глубокое знание основных концепций и возможностей технологий QoS позволит сетевым планировщикам, разработчикам и инженерам максимально оптимизировать производительность сетей и обеспечить стабильное функционирование нового поколения мультимедийных и голосовых приложений. Эта книга является источником чрезвычайно полезной информации для всех, кто планирует развертывание служб QoS в сетях, построенных на базе оборудования компании Cisco Systems. Автор проводит исчерпывающий обзор возможностей и функций QoS в сетях IP, не забывая при этом о поучительных практических упражнениях и примерах конфигурации устройств. Основной акцент делается на обсуждении реальных задач, что не только познакомит читателя с различными теоретическими концепциями, но и научит его решать наиболее распространенные проблемы проектирования. Книга рассчитана на пользователей высокой квалификации и профессионалов.

This unique book, drawing on the author’s lifetime experience, critically evaluates the extensive literature on the field of Metal-Catalysed Reactions of Hydrocarbons. Emphasis is placed on reaction mechanisms involving hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, skeletal and positional isomerisation, and exchange reactions. The motivation for fundamental research in heterogeneous catalysis is to identify the physicochemical characteristics of active centres for the reaction being studied, to learn how these may be modified or manipulated to improve the desired behavior of the catalyst, and to recognize and control those aspects of the catalyst's structure that limit its overall performance. By restricting the subject of the book to hydrocarbons, Bond has progressively developed the subject matter to include areas of importance both to researchers and to those working in the industry.

Emphasizing the potential and impact of the burgeoning nanotechnology field, this six-volume encyclopedia set discusses the fundamental principles, theories, and methodologies that impact nanosystem design innovations in nanostructured materials, nanodevices, and system architectures. Unparalleled in scope and depth, it examines the properties, performance, and engineering of materials that have controllable features on the nanometer scale; new simulation tools and computational methods; and the construction, integration, and application of tools for the measurement and imaging of biological materials.

Application architecture is an essential skill for ASP.NET developers. It is always tempting to jump in and start coding, but planning your architecture early in the project will leave you with a solid application that scales well, is easy to modify and extend, and saves you time and effort later on. As businesses struggle to control their costs, writing solid code that can be extended easily is becoming even more important.

Многие умные люди в России говорят, что КАЧЕСТВО в современном бизнесе - это залог конкурентоспособности. И это правда! В этой книге авторы попытались отойти от уже сложившихся в России штампов и стереотипов в отношении quality management и показать свежий взгляд на проблемы качества в отечественном бизнесе. Сочетание иронического и аналитического стилей изложения подкреплено богатым практическим опытом авторов и здравым смыслом, что позволит вам взглянуть на вопросы управления качеством под новым углом.

This thesis describes the hardware design of a hybrid system for the composition and performance of electronic music in real-time. While analog circuitry is primarily employed in the generation and processing of sounds, digital circuitrsy is devoted to the exercise of control, under the immediate supervision of the composer/performer. Such a digital vs. analog partition, together with a proper choice of the man vs. machine interface, is intended to satisfy the niuch emphasized musical need for the immediate, real-time interaction between the composer/performer and his instrument.

This book contains information which will enable the reader to design and evaluate electronic music systems. It is the first authoritative presentation of the basic theories of sound generation and control. The few books and manuals that do exist deal either with various advanced technical problems or are instruction manuals for specific electronic music instruments.

Digital signal processing (DSP) refers to anything that can be done to a signal using code on a computer or DSP chip. To reduce certain sinusoidal frequency components in a signal in amplitude, digital filtering is done. One may want to obtain the integral of a signal. If the signal comes from a tachometer, the integral gives the position. If the signal is noisy, then filtering the signal to reduce the amplitudes of the noise frequencies improves signal quality. For example, noise may occur from wind or rain at an outdoor music presentation. Filtering out sinusoidal components of the signal that occur at frequencies that cannot be produced by the music itself results in recording the music with little wind and rain noise. Sometimes the signal is corrupted not by noise, but by other signal frequencies that are of no present interest. If the signal is an electronic measurement of a brain wave obtained by using probes applied externally to the head, other electronic signals are picked up by the probes, but the physician may be interested only in signals occurring at a particular frequency. By using digital filtering, the signals of interest only can be presented to the physician.
