The Autoimmune Connection - Essential Information for Women on Diagnosis, Treatment, and Getting On with Your Life

 
 
Rita Baron-Faust, Jill P. Buyon "The Autoimmune Connection - Essential Information for Women on Diagnosis, Treatment, and Getting On with Your Life"
ISBN 0658021311 | McGraw-Hill | March 2003 | 304 pages | PDF | English | 51 MB

Empowers women to make informed decisions about autoimmune disorders. More than 50 million Americans, most of them women, suffer from a constellation of mysterious, often misdiagnosed diseases that can result in disability, disfigurement, and death. Called "autoimmune diseases," they arise when the immune system attacks healthy tissues in almost any area of the body, and include lupus rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, scleroderma, and Graves' disease.

Now Jill Buyon, a doctor working on the cutting edge of research into these diseases, and Rita Baron-Faust, an award-winning medical journalist, arm women with the knowledge they need to obtain accurate diagnoses and the best possible treatments.

In "The Autoimmune Connection" readers Read more...

Modeling and Forecasting Electricity Loads and Prices: A Statistical Approach

 
 
Rafal Weron “Modeling and Forecasting Electricity Loads and Prices: A Statistical Approach"
Wiley | 2006-12-18 | ISBN: 047005753X | 192 pages | PDF | 2,6 Mb

This book offers an in-depth and up-to-date review of different statistical tools that can be used to analyze and forecast the dynamics of two crucial for every energy company processes—electricity prices and loads. It provides coverage of seasonal decomposition, mean reversion, heavy-tailed distributions, exponential smoothing, spike preprocessing, autoregressive time series including models with exogenous variables and heteroskedastic (GARCH) components, regime-switching models, interval forecasts, jump-diffusion models, derivatives pricing and the market price of risk.
Modeling and Forecasting Electricity Loads and Prices is packaged with a CD containing both the data and detailed examples of implementation of different techniques in Matlab, with additional examples in SAS. A reader can retrace all the intermediate steps of a practical implementation of a model and test his understanding of the method and correctness of the computer code using the same input data.
The book will be of particular interest to the quants employed by the utilities, independent power generators and marketers, energy trading desks of the hedge funds and financial institutions, and the executives attending courses designed to help them to brush up on their technical skills. The text will be also of use to graduate students in electrical engineering, econometrics and finance wanting to get a grip on advanced statistical tools applied in this hot area. In fact, there are sixteen Case Studies in the book making it a self-contained tutorial to electricity load and price modeling and forecasting.

Multicast Sockets: Practical Guide for Programmers

 
 
Multicast Sockets: Practical Guide for Programmers
Morgan Kaufmann | 2002-11-05 | ISBN: 155860846X | 180 pages | PDF | 3,2 Mb

Multicast Sockets: Practical Guide for Programmers is a hands-on, application-centric approach to multicasting (as opposed to a network-centric one) that is filled with examples, ideas, and experimentation. Each example builds on the last to introduce multicast concepts, frameworks, and APIs in an engaging manner that does not burden the reader with lots of theory and jargon. The book is an introduction to multicasting but assumes that the reader has a background in network programming and is proficient in C or Java. After reading the book, you will have a firm grasp on how to write a multicast program.

Java Cryptography Extensions: Practical Guide for Programmers

 
 Java Cryptography Extensions: Practical Guide for Programmers
Morgan Kaufmann | 2004-02-27 | ISBN: 0127427511 | 176 pages | PDF | 12,2 Mb

For a long time, there has been a need for a practical, down-to-earth developers book for the Java Cryptography Extension. I am very happy to see there is now a book that can answer many of the technical questions that developers, managers, and researchers have about such a critical topic. I am sure that this book will contribute greatly to the success of securing Java applications and deployments for e-business. --Anthony Nadalin, Java Security Lead Architect, IBM

For many Java developers and software engineers, cryptography is an "on-demand" programming exercise, where cryptographic concepts are shelved until the next project requires renewed focus. But considerations for cryptography must be made early on in the design process and its imperative that developers know what kinds of solutions exist.

XML Primer Plus

 
 
Nicholas Chase “XML Primer Plus"
Sams | 2002-12-26 | ISBN: 0672324229 | 1024 pages | CHM | 6,1 Mb

This book presents XML programming from a conceptual perspective, teaching not just the technology, but the background and thinking behind it. Developers learn to do it right, gaining a thorough understanding of the hows and the whys from the ground up. Rather than teaching programmers to memorize specific APIs, this book teaches programmers how to think about XML programming in a language-neutral way, with examples in various languages (such as Java, C++, Perl, and VB) and provides guidance on how and when XML can be used in real-world situations.

Beyond al-Qaeda: The Outer Rings of the Terrorist Universe

 
 
Beyond al-Qaeda: The Outer Rings of the Terrorist Universe
RAND | 2006 | ISBN: 978083303932-3 | English | 216 pages | PDF | 1 MB

The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the U.S. response—the global war on terrorism—have changed the world, and the terrorist enterprise that we know as al-Qaeda has changed with it. The current status of al-Qaeda’s network remains unclear, but it is certain that it and other terrorist groups continue to threaten the lives and well-being of Americans, at home and abroad, and the security of our friends and allies. This continuing danger leads to ongoing U.S. and international efforts to monitor, disrupt, and dismantle terrorist groups before they can cause large-scale destruction to our people or our interests.

The objective of this RAND Corporation study, undertaken as part of a project entitled “Beyond al-Qaeda: Countering Future Terrorist and Other Nontraditional Threats to U.S. Security,” is to understand the shape of future threats to the United States and U.S. security interests from terrorist and other extremist organizations.
