Найти книгу: "Progress in Solar Energy Technology and Applications"

Energy is one of the most important topics of our time, and renewable energy has been a long and still-unfolding story that has taken decades to bring us to where we are today. Even after so much progress, engineers and scientists are always still developing new and innovative techniques, processes, equipment, and materials to further the science and fulfill the mission of generating cleaner, renewable energy for the world’s consumption. This new groundbreaking series, Advances in Renewable Energy, covers these topics across the spectrum, including solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources. This first volume in the series focuses on solar energy, probably the fastest-growing and developing area of renewable energy. With new materials and processes constantly coming online, it is important for engineers and scientists to stay abreast of the state-of-the-art in the field, and this volume does just that. Covering not just the basics of the technology and technological advances, the contributors delve into the financial aspects of solar energy systems as well. They look at total costs, not just initial costs, but the costs of maintenance, as well, Covering nearly every aspect of solar energy systems and the latest advances in the field, this is a must-have volume for any engineer, scientist, student, or educator working in or studying solar energy.

The personal home page (PHP) server-side scripting language is particular well adapted to connecting HTML-based web pages to a backend database for dynamic content. This book explains the entire nuts-and-bolts process of the PHP application life cycle: requirements, design, development, maintenance and tuning. It shows how PHP can be used to design and develop highly manageable and secure applications to solve practical problems.

Written by members of the Oracle XML group, this is a must-have reference for all IT managers, DBAs, and developers who want to learn the best practices for using XML with Oracle’s XML-enabled products. Includes real-world case studies based on theauthors’ experience managing Oracle’s XML Discussion Forum - a community of 20,000+ XML component users.

Rizzoni is designed for the sophomore/junior level, Introduction to Electrical Engineering course required for non-EE majors. The most widely used book for this course, Rizzoni introduces non-majors to the three basic areas of electrical engineering: circuits, electronics, and electromechanics. The second edition continues the tradition of focusing on the topics and issues of interest to the non-electrical engineering student. To maintain student interest in these topics, Rizzoni provides numerous links between electrical engineering and other engineering fields.

Настоящая книга представляет собой первое опубликованное руководство по конфигурированию и настройке СУБД для пользователей операционной системы Solaris, хотя большинство принципов и ряд стратегий вполне применимы и к другим средам UNIX, тем более, что многие описанные инструменты мониторинга широко используются не только в Solaris, а также в Linux и других Unix-системах. Подробно описаны вопросы тестирования, достижения оптимальной производительности и высокой готовности серверов БД: Oracle (включая Oracle9i), Sybase (Sybase ASE и Adaptive Server IQ with Multiplex), Informix (Informix XPS). Рассматривается специфика настройки в средах OLTP и DSS. Данное издание ориентировано на администраторов БД, нуждающихся в практических советах по настройке, на системных администраторов и другой технический персонал, желающих расширить свое понимание архитектуры баз данных, а также на разработчиков, стремящихся лучше понять среду, в которой используются их приложения.

Эта книга будет полезна всем: сетевым инженерам, системным администраторам, пользователям, нуждающимся в эффективном справочном руководстве. Те, кто никогда ранее не работал с операционной системой Solaris, смогут изучить ее во всех деталях. Те же, кто сней давно на `ты`, увидят в этой книге удобный настольный справочник, заменяющий объемные тома руководств. Книга ориентирована на решение административных задач и позволяет быстро получить информацию о командах системы.
