Artemis Fowl (Book 4) -- The Opal Deception

Eoin Colfer 'The Opal Deception (Artemis Fowl, Book 4)'
Audiobook | Publisher: Listening Library | ISBN: 030724332X | 2005 | English | MP3 128 Kbps

Grade 5-7–Artemis Fowl has returned to his fiendish ways in the fourth book (Miramax, 2005) in Eoin Colfer's series about the 14-year-old criminal mastermind. Although his mind was cleared of any memories of the fairy world in the third book, it's not long before Artemis encounters many of his old cohorts. His archenemy, Opal Koboi, is no longer an imprisoned coma patient; she escaped by cloning herself and now has plans for the destruction of the Lower Elements and for world domination. Artemis needs the help of all his allies in this world and in the fairy world to stop the powerful and dangerous Opal. Nathanial Parker's superior talent for narration is wonderfully showcased in this rollicking tale of identity theft, intrigue, and adventure. He uses many different British accents and dialects to make both the human and the supernatural characters come alive, and his pacing is faultless throughout the dialogue and the narrative. Fans of the series will be delighted to join Artemis and his associates for another fantastic tale of the underworld, complete with gaseous dwarves and extraordinary technology. A great choice for fantasy lovers in school and public libraries.

Fundamentals of Digital Electronics

Digital electronics is one of the fundamental courses found in all electrical engineering and most science programs. The great variety of LabVIEW Boolean and numeric controls/indicators, together with the wealth of programming structures and functions, make LabVIEW an excellent tool to visualize and demonstrate many of the fundamental concepts of digital electronics.The second set of six labs cover advanced topics such as DACs, ADCs, seven-segment displays, serial communication, and the CPU. These are best done in the context of a digital electronics lab, comparing the LabVIEW simulations with real integrated circuits.

Applied Numerical Methods Using MATLAB - Chung and Morris

Description: In recent years, with the introduction of new media products, there has been a shift in the use of programming languages from FORTRAN or C to MATLAB for implementing numerical methods. This book makes use of the powerful MATLAB software to avoid complex derivations, and to teach the fundamental concepts using the software to solve practical problems. Over the years, many textbooks have been written on the subject of numerical methods. Based on their course experience, the authors use a more practical approach and link every method to real engineering and/or science problems. The main benefit is that engineers don't have to know the mathematical theory in order to apply the numerical methods for solving their real-life problems.

Pspice for Digital Signal Processing

In chapter 1 we examine the sampled signal and introduce the concept of digital frequency and examineDSP signals such as the unit step and unit impulse. The hierarchicalmethod of drawing schematics is demonstrated using two types of delay unit used throughout the book. In chapter 2 we see how to express simple digital filters using difference equations (DE), and by means of the z-transform, convert the DE to a transfer function.We examine time-invariant systems for a range of filter types: low-pass, high-pass and bandpass.Lastly, we look at some musical applications forDSP such as reverberation/ echo using real-world signals imported into PSpice using the program Wav2Ascii. The zero-forcing equalizer is dealt with in a simplistic manner to show how the received signal is equalized.

Hunting Security Bugs

Tom Gallagher, Lawrence Landauer, "Hunting Security Bugs"
Microsoft Press 2006 | ISBN-10: 073562187X | 592 Pages | chm

Finding security flaws is now a fundamental development task, yet there has not been adequate documentation of the process used to find security bugs—until now. Before the Internet, computers were deployed in trusted environments and software development and testing practices emphasized functionality over security. As networking technologies emerged, though, times changed and people began to connect their computers together, instead of deploying in silos. However, development and testing practices did not account for attacks that could be mounted over networks.

The material currently available does not provide much practical guidance and the instructions given often fail to cultivate the right mindset and approach to enable people to successfully identify security issues before the software is published. This in-depth, technical reference highlights up-to-date tools, technologies, and techniques for helping find and eliminate vulnerabilities in software. Written for testers by testers, it delivers practical, hands-on guidance on how to find, classify, and assess bugs. In addition, this book covers the thought process behind security testing, use of source code to help in testing, and ways to spot security design flaws.
