UML 2.0 in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly)) Dan Pilone
System developers have used modeling languages for decades to specify, visualize, construct, and document systems. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is one of those languages. UML makes it possible for team members to collaborate by providing a common language that applies to a multitude of different systems. Essentially, it enables you to communicate solutions in a consistent, tool-supported language.Today, UML has become the standard method for modeling software systems, which means you're probably confronting this rich and expressive language more than ever before. And even though you may not write UML diagrams yourself, you'll still need to interpret diagrams written by others.UML 2.0 in a Nutshell from O'Reilly feels your pain. It's been crafted for professionals like you who must r...
US Government Debt Story Dr. Jon Schiller Phd
In mid 2011 the US finds it has a huge multitrillion dollar public deficit. This deficit grew to a level approaching the Gross Domestic Product which relatively speaking was challenging the debt reached during WWII when the debt exceeded the GDP. As I attempted to quantify in this book, the huge increase in public debt was caused by two very long wars: the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war, which was the longest war the US has ever waged. In 2008 the US economy entered into the deepest recession it has seen since the depression starting in October 1929 and lasting until WWII (1941). This 21st century recession caused revenues to diminish greatly. Huge bail out programs were necessary to save large US banks and manufacturing companies. Also the USG made expenditures to help that segment of t...
Un vikingo en al-andalus Víctor J. Andrés
“25 de Septiembre de 844. Sevilla dormía sin saber que al amanecer de esa mañana más de cien barcos cargados de guerreros remontaban el Guadalquivir para invadir la ciudad”. Dos hermanos vikingos con destinos separados, una mujer cordobesa dedicada al cuidado de los caballos y muchos otros personajes de la época entremezclarán sus vidas convergiendo en un viaje que marcará un antes y un después en sus vidas y en la historia de Al-Ándalus. Hallarán el amor, descubrirán el odio, las intrigas y la violencia en una etapa histórica de una España poco conocida y que con una acción trepidante hilada hábilmente entre hechos históricos nos traslada al Siglo IX, en pleno dominio Árabe. Atrapará al lector en una vorágine de acontecimientos que no le darán tregua a lo largo de las páginas de este l...
Understanding China: An Insight Into the History, Civilization, and On-Going Transformation Calipe Chong Wai Meng
The recent changes in China have been phenomenal! Not only have we have seen its rapid development in industry and technology capabilities, but its military power and foreign affairs are just awesome. Calipe Chong is not attempting to exaggerate China achievements, nor is he lauding its glory and power. It is not his intention to also show the weaknesses and malicious behavior of the Chinese. He just wants to present what it was previously, what it once went through, and what the nation is right now. Calipe's purpose is to depict facts and actual situations happening in China which are not reported adequately in the foreign countries. Between 1989 and 1996, Calipe traveled often to China for business trips. In 1997, he moved to China. Since then, Calipe traveled, worked, and lived in man...
"Understanding Epigenetics and What It Means for Aging, Cancer, Autism & Obesity "… Dr. Hakim Saboowala and Dr.hakim Saboowala
Since Epigenetics is one of the most rapidly expanding fields in biology, an attempt has been made in this booklet to include, a comprehensive understanding of epigenetic mechanisms, their interactions and alterations in health and disease, which has become a priority in biomedical research.The recent characterization of a human DNA methylome at single nucleotide resolution, the discovery of the CpG island shores, the finding of new histone variants and modifications, and the unveiling of genome-wide nucleosome positioning maps highlight the accelerating speed of discovery over the past two years. Increasing interest in epigenetics has been accompanied by technological breakthroughs that now make it possible to undertake large-scale epigenomic studies in obesity, cancer, autism, aging, end...
Unified Field Theory: Strings Make Everything Larry James
Unified field theory (UFT) is a single theoretical framework that explains all fields and their forces. The goal of UFT is to identify the common factor that makes all fields. UFT has achieved this goal. The common factor that makes all fields is one type of quantum string. Each string has six properties. Four properties can change: momentum, compression, alignment, and frequency. Two properties cannot change: charge and volume. Based on these six properties, UFT explains how these strings create five fields and 13 fundamental forces. At this quantum level, there are 13 distinct forces not just four. UFT is a quantum theory that includes gravity, inertia, matter, light, time, relativity, black holes, dark matter, and dark energy. It presents new paradigms in understanding properties of lig...
The United States Constitution (Documenting U.S. History) Liz Sonneborn
Learn about the United States Constitution, one of the most significant documents in U.S. history. Find out about those who were involved in its creation and why studying this primary source is so important.**From School Library JournalGr 4-6-In the first book, each of the 10 amendments is quoted and explained. Sidebars expand on some; for example, the Sixth Amendment is accompanied by a brief look at the Miranda Statement. It's a good overview of one of our founding documents and will prepare readers for single titles such as those in "The Bill of Rights" series (ABDO, 2008). Taking the Common Core standard regarding "the relationship between a primary and secondary source" to heart, Magna Carta begins by defining primary and secondary sources and identifying the document as an important ...
Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens Immanuel Kant
Using Isaac Newton s mathematical principles and laws of motion and taking up an idea first suggested by Emanuel Swedenborg, Immanual Kant, the greatest philosopher of the eighteenth century, in 1755 produced a detailed account of what has come to be known as the Nebular hypothesis, still considered the most plausible explanation for the formation of the solar system: the structure of the universe develops from widely dispersed materials scattered throughout space which, under the influence of the forces of attraction and repulsion, rotate, flatten, and over time produce stars and planets. In his account, Kant also considers the ring of Saturn, the formation of moons, and other celestial phenomena (like the axial rotation of the planets and the development of comets). He also lets his imag...
Ur: La Historia y el Legado de la Antigua Capital Sumeria Charles River Editors
Cuando los arqueólogos americanos descubrieron la colección de tablas cuneiformes en Iraq a finales del siglo XIX, se encontraron con una lengua y un pueblo que en aquel tiempo eran apenas conocidos incluso por los escolares más expertos en la antigua Mesopotamia: los sumerios. Las hazañas y logros de los otros pueblos mesopotámicos, como los asirios y los babilonios, ya eran conocidos por un gran segmento de la población a través del Antiguo Testamento; y el campo emergente de los estudios del Oriente Próximo ya había descifrado el enigma de la lengua acadia, la cual era usada ampliamente en toda la región en tiempos antiguos. Pero el descubrimiento de las tablas sumerias dieron luz la existencia de la cultura tura sumeria, la más antigua de todas las culturas mesopotámicas. Mucho antes d...
