Пособие для изготовления занятных игрушек своими руками из подвернувшихся под руку предметов , как то: мебельный гарнитур из спичечных коробков, телефон из 2 жестянок и нитки, вязальная машинка, мини-кегельбан, танцующая кукла из пробок, самодвижущийся танк и многое другое. Язык английский, но из рисунков все понятно. В свое время эта была очень популярная серия книжек для подростков, прямо тимуровские инструкции. Сейчас выглядит довольно забавно, т.к. многие предметы попросту уже давно не выпускаются.

Due to continuing demand, small but persistent, for the material, I have created this Web version in .pdf format. The only change to content is the correction of errors as listed on on the errata sheet (available on my Web site). However, the pagination is different, for I had to re-process the source files on aged, cantankerous typesetting software. Also, the figures are redrawn, only in part because they were of such low quality in the original. I have not created new subject and author indexes corresponding to the new pagination.

Книжка "Фоніка" - це частина курсу віршознавства. Курс складається з трьох частин: "Компаративна метрика", "Фоніка" та "Строфіка", і, в свою чергу, належить до загального курсу "Поетики і стилістики", куди входять "Віршознавство", "Основи аналізи мовних форм" та "Ґенерика й архітектоніка". Автор книжки під час читання лекцій ніколи не повторював дослівно того самого тексту, натомість дещо додавав, дещо опускав або проминав, вносив певні зміни, скорочував або, навпаки, поширював певні розділи. Тому жоден з колишніх студентів Качуровського не має у своїх записах лекції курсу фоніки в такому вигляді, як його подає запропонована увазі книжка. Поза курсом лекції стоять два останні розділи, що їх долучено до книги як додаток: це - рецензія на словник рим та невеличка розвідка про звукові ігри.

This volume thoroughly explores all the principles and techniques necessary for connecting any type of sensor to the IBM PC or equivalent computers -- e.g., sensors, transducers, data conversion, and interface techniques.

The World Wide Web, the first global networked information service that is truly friendly, is probably the fastest growing technological phenomenon in the history of the human race (except maybe gambling).

This supplement to any standard DSP text is one of the first books to successfully integrate the use of MATLAB® in the study of DSP concepts. In this book, MATLAB® is used as a computing tool to explore traditional DSP topics, and solve problems to gain insight. This greatly expands the range and complexity of problems that students can effectively study in the course. Since DSP applications are primarily algorithms implemented on a DSP processor or software, a fair amount of programming is required. Using interactive software such as MATLAB® makes it possible to place more emphasis on learning new and difficult concepts than on programming algorithms. Interesting practical examples are discussed and useful problems are explored. This updated printing revises the scripts in the book, available functions, and m-files (available for downloading from the Brooks/Cole Bookware Companion Resource Series? Center Web site) to MATLAB® V5 (created with 5.3).

This specification defines the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), version 4.0, the publishing language of the World Wide Web. In addition to the text, multimedia, and hyperlink features of the previous versions of HTML, HTML 4.0 supports more multimedia options, scripting languages, style sheets, better printing facilities, and documents that are more accessible to users with disabilities. HTML 4.0 also takes great strides towards the internationalization of documents, with the goal of making the Web truly World Wide.

The Internet is an all pervasive entity in today’s world of computing. To cope with the "wild" Internet, several security mechanisms were developed, among them access controls, authentication schemes and firewalls, as one of the most secure methods. However, firewall means different things for different people. Consider the fable from India about the blind men and the elephant. Each blind man touched a different part of the elephant and came up with a totally different description. The blind man who touched the elephant’s legs described it as being similar to a tree. Another blind man touched the tail and decided an elephant was like a twig. Yet another grabbed the trunk and concluded an elephant was like a snake. To some computer professionals, even to some of those in charge of Internet security, firewalls are just "walls of fire" blocking hackers outside of it. To some others, it is only a form of authentication mechanism. Some other folks consider firewalls to be synonymous with routers. Obviously, a firewall is much more than any of these individually. The problem is only compounded by the fact that for a lot of computer and security professionals, firewalls was touched upon only fleetingly in their academic career, worse, they bumped into it at the computer room. Also, a lot of the important parts and features of firewall are recent innovations, and thus were never covered in an academic career or most of the 1995-1996 firewall books at all, which further aggravates the problem as of right now there is no one single book these professionals can turn to. Their only resource is to peruse a wide array of literature including textbooks, web pages, computer magazines, white papers, etc. This book, the Complete Firewall Handbook, aims to become your companion book, the one you will always want to carry with you, as it does claim to be complete! I can assure you, there may be some similar books on the market, but none is complete as this one, none provides a reference guide as this one. The other titles I know are either discussing a specific technology and strategy or a product. Although you can compare this book to those, as it also covers the firewall technologies, strategies and all the main firewall products on the market, this one goes beyond the scope of the other ones. In addition, it provides a complete reference guide of the various protocols, including the upcoming ones (IPV6, for example) and how firewalling fits into it. In fact, this book adds a next level to your expertise by discussing all the components that makes the Internet, and any other network for that matter, unsecured: it discuss and describes in details all the protocols, standards and APIs used on internetworking, as well as the security mechanisms, from cryptograph to firewalls. Later on the book there is a "reference" section with a complete review of the major firewall products available on the market to date, a selection of tools, applications and many firewall demos and evaluations, which were all bundled together on the CD the accompanies this book. This book is aimed primarily to network administrators, including Web, systems, LAN and WAN Administrators. But it is also target to the new breed of professionals, the so called Internet Managers, as well as to anyone in need of a complete reference book in firewalls. As you read this book you will notice that what separates it from others is that this one is comprehensive, and gives the technical information necessary to understand, choose, install, maintain e foresee future needs involving firewalls and security at a very informal level. It has a conversational style with practical information, tips and cautions, to help the Internet, network and security administrator to cope, and "survive," their tasks and responsibilities. As important as implementing firewalls at your site, it must be preceded of a security policy that takes in consideration services to be blocked and allowed. It should also consider implementation of authentication and encryption devices and the level of risks you are willing to undertake in order to be connected to the Internet. This book will discuss all of these topics and the issues it brings up when dealing with site security and administration. It will go over all the services, such as TELNET, FTP, Web, e-mail, news, etc.

This is probably the best book on Spectral Analysis. A undergrad level probability / statistics is all that is required for reading through the book. The book develops the fundamentals of Spectral Analysis clearly and thoroughly and takes the reader through the various methods of spectral estimation. Parametric and Non-parametric methods are discussed and there are a variety of simulations that the reader can do in Matlab. The Matlab code is also provided in the website for the book. After going through the book, the reader would have enough knowledge in the field of spectral analysis to make her prepared for advanced reading / research in the subject. Also note that the book does not require any in-depth knowledge of Digital Signal Processing so it can be read by people in other areas who might need a knowledge of spectral analysis.

Urbanists have been studying cities and suburbs in the United States for just about a century. It was in 1899 that Adna Ferrin Weber published The Growth of Cities in the Nineteenth Century: A Study in Statistics, perhaps the first great analysis of the rapid urbanization that had already occurred in the United States during the nineteenth century and would continue during the twentieth. Since the appearance of Weber’s book, the analysis of cities—and the understanding of all the phenomena called “urban”—has expanded immeasurably, exploded actually, and become much more sophisticated. Cities and suburbs, and specific aspects of life in cities and suburbs, have been examined from countless perspectives: their pasts by historians, their governments by political scientists, their communities by sociologists, their buildings by architects and architectural historians, their morphology by geographers, and their physical structure by city planners, just to mention a few of the more obvious points of view without even alluding to more eclectic attitudes.

This electronic book was originally created—and still may be purchased—as a print book. For simplicity, the electronic version of this book has been modified as little as possible from its original form. For instance, there may be occasional references to sample files that come with the book. These files are available with the print version, but are not provided in this electronic edition.

The authors are developers of network and web server software for IBM. They specifically target performance issues related to C++ programming. The primary topics of discussion are constructors & destructors, virtual functions, return value optimization, temporary objects, inlining, memory managers, and reference counting. Learn how to create efficient constructor functions. Learn how to avoid the costly construction of temporary objects. The authors promote "lazy evaluation" and nail "useless computations" and "obsolete code." Algorithm and data structure discussions are referred to other standard references, however there is coverage of the STL structures (insertion, deletion, traversal, and find operations). An additional bonus is the excellent coverage of multithreading issues.

PNG, the Portable Network Graphics image format, is one little piece of the puzzle. In PNG: The Definitive Guide, I attempt to make PNG a little less puzzling by explaining the motivations behind PNG's creation, the ways in which it can be used, and the tools that can manipulate it. The intended audience is anyone who deals with PNG images, whether as an artist, a programmer, or a surfer on the World Wide Web.
