The 3-Hour Diet

Description:
Lose Up to 10 Pounds in Just 2 Weeks by Eating Every 3 Hours!

The biggest mistake most people make when trying to lose weight is skipping meals.

When you skip meals throughout the day, your blood sugar plummets, which causes your

appetite to spike. When your hunger is out of control, you overeat.

When you eat the right foods every three hours, you will not feel hungry, and you

will reset your body's metabolism and achieve amazing results. There's no counting

calories, no starvation, and no deprivation. Bottom line: timing will sculpt your

body slim. With Jorge Cruise's trademark easy-to-follow instructions, accessibility,

and client success stories, the 3-Hour Diet� is a proven success. Weight loss has

never been easier!

It's time to lose weight and bring back the joy of eating.

Access Database Design and Programming

Description:
When using software products with graphical interfaces, we frequently focus so much

on the details of how to use the interface that we forget about the more general

concepts that allow us to understand and put the software to effective use. This is

particularly true of a powerful database product like Microsoft Access. Novice, and

sometimes even experienced, programmers are so concerned with how something is done

in Access that they often lose sight of the general principles that underlie their

database applications.
Access Database Design & Programming, 2nd Edition, an update to the bestselling

first edition, features:

* A discussion of Access' new VBA Integrated Development Environment, which, for the

first time, is the one used by Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
* An expansion of the discussion of the VBA language itself, in response to reader

requests
* A discussion of Microsoft's latest data access technology, called Active Data

Objects (or ADO), along with a discussion of Open Database Connectivity(ODBC), which

is intimately connected with ADO

Unlike other Access books that take the long, detailed approach to every topic of

concern to Access programmers, this book focuses instead on the core concepts,

enabling programmers to develop solid, effective database applications. As a result,

important topics such as designing forms and reports, database security, database

replication, and programming for multiuser applications are simply not discussed.

This book is a kind of "second course" in Access that provides a relatively

experienced Access user who is new to programming with the frequently overlooked

techniques necessary to successfully develop in the Microsoft Access environment.

Anyone interested in learning Access in-depth, rather than just scraping the

surface, will enjoy and immensely benefit from reading this book.

Although this book is really an introduction directed to intermediate Microsoft

Access users who are novice programmers, it should appeal to all levels of Access

developers. For novice programmers, it focuses on a key body of knowledge that is

typically neglected, but is nevertheless essential for developing effective database

applications. For intermediate and advanced developers, its treatment of database

design and queries provides a handy treatment that otherwise has to be gleaned from

relatively uninteresting textbooks, while its programming chapters constitute a

handy reference to some basic operations that can be performed using DAO or the

Access object model.

HOW TO Prepare Your Curriculum Vitae

Description:
Pages:160

The curriculum vitae, commonly referred to as a CV, Vita, or Vitae, is a detailed

biographical description of one�s educational and work background. It differs from a

résumé, a one-page description of one�s work experience and educational background

not only in length but also in detail. The origin of the term curriculum vitae is

Latin and means �the course of one�s life or career.� As such, a CV includes

detailed information regarding one�s academic coursework, professional experience,

publications ,and so on.

The process of writing a curriculum vitae can be an exhilarating experience because

it generates a heightened degree of pride in your accomplishments as well as an

increased awareness of your skills. Begin the process with enthusiasm and a desire

to share information about yourself. If you approach this process with anxiety or

uncertainty about its efficacy, writing a curriculum vitae will not be a pleasurable

experience.

How to Prepare Your Curriculum Vitae provides an in-depth explanation of the

components of the curriculum vitae as well as step-by-step instructions for

condensing your career history into a concise biographical sketch that underscores

your assets. You'll learn to assess your educational and noneducational skills,

inventory your accomplishments, and present the information in a format that follows

the latest document guidelines. In addition, this newly revised edition includes:

* Tips on producing a scannable CV
* A new chapter on international CVs
* Sample CVs for a wide range of academic majors and professions
* Sample correspondence that gives you content and format guidance

PowerPoint 2007, The Missing Manual

Description:
FORMAT : CHM

Like every other application in Microsoft Office suite, PowerPoint is loaded with

features. So many, in fact, that even veterans don't know where to find them all.

Microsoft solved this problem in PowerPoint 2007 by redesigning the user interface

with a tabbed toolbar that makes features easy to locate and use. PowerPoint 2007

also boasts improved graphics, additional templates, the ability to save custom

layouts, and improved collaboration through SharePoint. One thing Microsoft hasn't

improved is its poor documentation. To learn the ins and outs of all the features in

PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft merely offers online help. If you're familiar with

previous versions of the program, you may be lost the first time you fire up the new

PowerPoint; or you would be if it This new book, written specifically for this

version of the software,
not only offers the basics of how to create, save, set up, run, and print a basic

bullets-and-background slideshow, but takes you into the world of multimedia,

animation, and interactivity. You'll learn how to add pictures, sound, video,

animated effects, and controls (buttons and links) to their slides, along with ways

to pull text, spreadsheets, and animations created in other programs. You can also

create your own reusable design templates and learn to automate repetitive tasks

with macros. Learn how to take advantage of advanced functions (such as adding

custom background images) that existed in previous PowerPoint versions, but were so

cleverly hidden that few people ever found them.

Subspace Methods for System Identification (2005)

Description:
Pages: 392, Size: 13.2 MB

System identification provides methods for the sensible approximation of real

systems using a model set based on experimental input and output data. Tohru

Katayama sets out an in-depth introduction to subspace methods for system

identification in discrete - time linear systems thoroughly augmented with advanced

and novel results. The text is structured into three parts. First, the mathematical

preliminaries are dealt with: numerical linear algebra; system theory; stochastic

processes; and Kalman filtering. The second part explains realization theory,

particularly that based on the decomposition of Hankel matrices, as it is applied to

subspace identification methods. Two stochastic realization results are included,

one based on spectral factorization and Riccati equations, the other on canonical

correlation analysis (CCA) for stationary processes. Part III uses the development

of stochastic realization results, in the presence of exogenous inputs, to

demonstrate the closed-loop application of subspace identification methods CCA and

ORT (based on orthogonal decomposition). The addition of tutorial problems with

solutions and Matlab programs which demonstrate various aspects of the methods

propounded to introductory and research material makes Subspace Methods for System

Identification not only an excellent reference for researchers but also a very

useful text for tutors and graduate students involved with courses in control and

signal processing. The book can be used for self-study and will be of much interest

to the applied scientist or engineer wishing to use advanced methods in modeling and

identification of complex systems.

Design and Analysis of High Efficiency Line Drivers for xDSL (2004)

Description:
Pages: 235, Size: 3.8 MB

Design and Analysis of High Efficiency Line Drivers for xDSL covers the most

important building block of an xDSL (ADSL, VDSL, ...) system: the line driver.

Traditional Class AB line drivers consume more than 70% of the total power budget of

state-of-the-art ADSL modems. This book describes the main difficulties in designing

line drivers for xDSL. The most important specifications are elaborated staring from

the main properties of the channel and the signal properties. The traditional (class

AB), state-of-the-art (class G) and future technologies (class K) are discussed. The

main part of Design and Analysis of High Efficiency Line Drivers for xDSL describes

the design of a novel architecture: the Self-Oscillating Power Amplifier or SOPA.

This architecture uses a non-linear, asynchronous modulation scheme that enables

highly efficient, highly linear transmission. The concept has been proven by two

implementations in a digital CMOS technology: a G-Lite compliant line driver with

61% efficiency and a full ADSL-VDSL downstream compliant power amplifier with 47%

power efficiency. The proposed architecture is fully analysed and complete design

plans including CMOS scaling laws and software tools to facilitate the design of

these types of amplifiers are extensively described. Since the analysis of a SOPA

amplifier involves advanced non-linear system design techniques, Design and Analysis

of High Efficiency Line Drivers for xDSL presents extensively advanced non-linear

analysis techniques which not only aid the design of high efficiency line drivers

but are also applicable in other domains of analog system design. Therefore Design

and Analysis of High Efficiency Line Drivers for xDSL can be read not only as an

exhaustive tutorial on the basic properties and limitations of an xDSL line driver,

but also as a tutorial on advanced non-linear system design and a design manual of a

highly efficient switching power amplifier.

Springer - The Making of a Neuromorphic Visual System (2004)

Description:
Pages: 140,Size: 5.2 MB

This book presents an approach to the construction of a visual system, which is behaviorally, computationally and neurally motivated. The goal is to characterize the process of visual categorization and to find a suitable representation format that can successfully deal with the structural variability existent within visual categories. The book reviews past and existent theories of visual object and shape recognition in the fields of computer vision, neuroscience and psychology. The entire range of computations is discussed, as are region-based approaches and are modeled with wave-propagating networks. A completely novel shape recognition architecture is proposed that can recognize simple shapes under various degraded conditions. It is discussed how such networks can be used for constructing basic-level object representations. It is envisioned how those networks can be implemented using the method of neuromorphic engineering.

Springer - Speech and Human-Machine Dialog

Description:
Pages: 104, Size: 2.3 MB

Speech and Human-Machine Dialog focuses on the dialog management component of a spoken language dialog system. Spoken language dialog systems provide a natural interface between humans and computers. These systems are of special interest for interactive applications, and they integrate several technologies including speech recognition, natural language understanding, dialog management and speech synthesis.

Due to the conjunction of several factors throughout the past few years, humans are significantly changing their behavior vis-2-vis machines. In particular, the use of speech technologies will become normal in the professional domain, and in everyday life. The performance of speech recognition components has also significantly improved. This book includes various examples that illustrate the different functionalities of the dialog model in a representative application for train travel information retrieval (train time tables, prices and ticket reservation).

Internetworking Troubleshooting Handbook (2nd Edition)

Pages: 750

If you can think of the problem, Internetworking Troubleshooting Handbook probably has the solution�at least when it comes to networking problems. This 714-page tome is absolutely phenomenal in scope. Though you may not find in-depth scholarly discussions of networking woes, you will find pragmatic tips that can help you through an immediate crisis. And the configuration screens, tables, and diagrams are both essential and useful additions to the text.
Divided into six sections, the first outlines general problem-solving techniques as well as available troubleshooting tools from Cisco and third-party vendors. Next, the authors contend with hardware, booting, and media (which essentially means answers as to what could be preventing the network routers or switches from automatically firing up). In addition, potential Ethernet, FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface), and Token Ring malfunctions are more than sufficiently addressed.
The seven chapters of section 3 deal exclusively with routing protocols from TCP/IP to AppleTalk to the more obscure Banyan VINES. As for WAN connectivity, more than 100 pages are dedicated to serial line, dial-in, ISDN, frame relay, and X.25 connections. And if you�re experiencing difficulty in your ATM or LAN switching environment, with your security servers, or with CiscoWorks, this team of authors has provided useful guidance for those issues as well. The five appendices��Creating Core Dumps,� �Memory Maps,� �Technical Support Information,� �References and Recommended Reading,� and �Troubleshooting Worksheets��are also invaluable. �Sarah L. Roberts-Witt

Visual Basic .NET Unleashed

Description:
ISBN: 067232234X

Aimed at the more experienced developer, Visual Basic .NET Unleashed will let you master the improved object-oriented capabilities of the newest version of Visual Basic quickly. Stressing �refactoring� and advanced class design features, this challenging tutorial proves that VB .NET is in the front rank of object-oriented programming languages today. The expert focus here on language features and refactoring (for efficient class design) is the hallmark of this text.

After an in-depth tutorial on the new IDE available in Visual Studio .NET, the author digs in with a fast-moving tour of VB .NET language features (including coverage of changes from VB6). The text starts with basic and then advanced topics, but its real emphasis is on advanced class design using classes and interfaces, with some excellent material on inheritance and

polymorphism, as well as taking advantage of VB .NET�s support for properties and reflection, among other topics. By continually advising how to rewrite classes to improve their maintainability, the author raises the bar here by presenting some tips and best practices beyond the obvious, using techniques invented by the Extreme Programming (XP) movement.

If you are going to learn to design with objects, you might as well learn to do it right, this guide argues, using the expertise garnered from other programming languages. In all, this title shows how VB .NET supports basic and advanced object-oriented design features. It will be most profitably read by those with some previous object-oriented programming experience, though it will also benefit the beginner who wants to be challenged with some expert advice to get the most out of the new object support available in VB .NET.

Visual Basic Shell Programming (2000)

Description:
Format: *.CHM, Pages: 388, Size: 1 MB

Visual Basic's outstanding set of resources for rapidly developing stand-alone applications doesn't include shell extensions for integrating those applications or their data files with the Windows shell. Typically, such extensions as customized context menu handlers, per instance icons (such as a data file icon that's based on the contents of the file), and customized property sheets are written in C++, and all of the available documentation focuses on using C++ for shell extensions. But even C++ programmers find the task rough going, given the woefully inadequate state of the documentation. Very few programmers know that writing shell extensions is not tied to a single language or development environment, and that Visual Basic is an excellent tool for creating shell extensions that more closely tie an application to the Windows shell. That, however, is precisely the focus of Visual Basic Shell Programming. It shows how to take advantage of shell services to develop shell extensions and it provides the basic documentation needed for accomplishing this. Each major type of shell extension gets attention, including:

* Context menu handlers that can add items to the popup menu that appears when the user right clicks a file.
* con handlers for displaying per instance icons that, like the standard Recycle Bin icon, vary depending on some condition
* Property sheet pages, which appear when the user selects the Properties option from a file's context menu.
* InfoTip handlers, which display tooltips, or "info" tips for a file object on a per instance basis.

In showing how to integrate applications with the Windows shell by building shell extensions, author J.P. Hamilton provides a concrete tutorial on COM programming with Visual Basic. And while developing their own shell extensions, readers get to learn advanced VB concepts and techniques such as:

* Pointers. Since VB tends to hide pointers from the programmer, Hamilton shows how to take advantage of the undocumented VarPtr, StrPtr, and ObjPtr functions, as well as the Win32
* RtlMoveMemory function.
* Using class identifiers (CLSIDs) from Visual Basic.
* VTable modification, which allows control of the HRESULT (or status code) returned by a call to a COM method.

Visual Basic Shell Programming ventures where none have gone before by giving readers both the know-how to develop shell extensions and an advanced treatment of COM programming with Visual Basic.
