Wireless J2ME Platform Programming

Prentice Hall PTR | ISBN: 0130449148 | edition 2002 | PDF | 305

pages | 12 MB

This is a step-by-step guide to successful wireless application

design and development with Sun's Java 2 Micro Edition

platform. Authored by one of Sun's leading wireless application

consultants, it covers every key feature of the J2ME platform,

and every step of the process -- from architecture through

deployment. Piroumian begins by introducing the J2ME

computing platform, key terminology, basic concepts, and

application development process. Next, you'll walk through

creating, compiling, preparing, executing, and debugging J2ME

applications. One step at a time, you'll master J2ME MIDP

platform's high-level and low-level APIs, user interface

components, persistent storage mechanisms, and services for

networking and distributed processing. The book teaches how

to build applications from the ground up, using running

examples. All topics are introduced in a logical order where

each concept builds upon the ones that precede it. Piroumian

also covers architecture and its impact on the developer; and

introduces key elements of a complete wireless solution,

including gateways, Internet portal interfaces, and wireless

application interfaces.

Read this book and send your nonverbal intelligence soaring. Joe Navarro, a former FBI counterintelligence officer and a recognized expert on nonverbal behavior, explains how to “speed-read” people: decode sentiments and behaviors, avoid hidden pitfalls, and look for deceptive behaviors. You’ll also learn how your body language can influence what your boss, family, friends, and strangers think of you. You will discover:

* The ancient survival instincts that drive body language

* Why the face is the least likely place to gauge a person’s true feelings

* What thumbs, feet, and eyelids reveal about moods and motives

* The most powerful behaviors that reveal our confidence and true sentiments

* Simple nonverbals that instantly establish trust

* Simple nonverbals that instantly communicate authority

Filled with examples from Navarro’s professional experience, this definitive book offers a powerful new way to navigate your world.

100 PC Errors Solved, Smart Computing Reference series

In an ideal world, computers would never crash and programs would never run into problems. Or at least, if those things did occur, your PC would notify you about any glitches in a way that let you quickly patch things up and continue working. Uh, time to wake up. PCs run into problems all the time, and they typically respond by sending you a message that is either indecipherable or too vague to be of any use. In this issue we translate those arcane computing

error messages into plain English, and we point out potential solutions to the problem. Use this issue as a handy reference for whenever you encounter PC errors.

The example applications discussed include wave propagation in inhomogeneous solids, liquid crystals in mesoscopic physics, and long ship waves in shallow water bodies. Other contributions focus on specific mathematical approaches, namely the pseudospectral method, the treatment of Maxwell equations, and scalar conservation laws.

OpenGL® Shading Language, Third Edition, extensively updated for OpenGL 3.1, is the experienced application programmer’s guide to writing shaders. Part reference, part tutorial, this book thoroughly explains the shift from fixed-functionality graphics hardware to the new era of programmable graphics hardware and the additions to the OpenGL API that support this programmability. With OpenGL and shaders written in the OpenGL Shading Language, applications can perform better, achieving stunning graphics effects by using the capabilities of both the visual processing unit and the central processing unit.

In this book, you will find a detailed introduction to the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) and the new OpenGL function calls that support it. The text begins by describing the syntax and semantics of this high-level programming language. Once this foundation has been established, the book explores the creation and manipulation of shaders using new OpenGL function calls.

OpenGL® Shading Language, Third Edition, includes updated descriptions for the language and all the GLSL entry points added though OpenGL 3.1, as well as updated chapters that discuss transformations, lighting, shadows, and surface characteristics. The third edition also features shaders that have been updated to OpenGL Shading Language Version 1.40 and their underlying algorithms, including

* Traditional OpenGL fixed functionality

* Stored textures and procedural textures

* Image-based lighting

* Lighting with spherical harmonics

* Ambient occlusion and shadow mapping

* Volume shadows using deferred lighting

* Ward’s BRDF model

The color plate section illustrates the power and sophistication of the OpenGL Shading Language. The API Function Reference at the end of the book is an excellent guide to the

API entry points that support the OpenGL Shading Language.

Carol Graham, "Happiness Around the World: The paradox of happy peasants and miserable millionaires"

Oxford University Press, USA | 2010 | ISBN: 0199549052 | 240 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB

For centuries the pursuit of happiness was the preserve of either the philosopher or the voluptuary and took second place to the basic need to survive on the one hand, and the pressure to conform to social conventions and morality on the other. More recently there is a burgeoning interest in the study of happiness, in the social sciences and in the media. Can we really answer the question what makes people happy? Is it really grounded in credible methods and data? Is there consistency in the determinants of happiness across countries and cultures? Are happiness levels innate to individuals or can policy and the environment make a difference? How is happiness affected by poverty? By economic progress? Is happiness a viable objective for policy? This book is an attempt to answer these questions, based on research on the determinants of happiness in countries around the world, ranging from Peru and Russia to the U.S. and Afghanistan.

The book reviews the theory and concepts of happiness, explaining how these concepts underpin a line of research which is both an attempt to understand the determinants of happiness and a tool for understanding the effects of a host of phenomena on human well being. The research finds surprising consistency in the determinants of happiness across levels of development. Yet there is still much debate over the relationship between happiness and income. The book explores the effects of many mediating factors in that relationship, ranging from macroeconomic trends and democracy to inequality and crime. It also reviews what we know about happiness and health and how that relationship varies according to income levels and health status. It concludes by discussing the potential--and the potential pitfalls--of using happiness surveys to contribute to better public policy.
