This book is intended for researchers, teachers, and students willing to ex-
plore conceptual bridges between the fields of Automatic Control and Power
Electronics. The need to bring the two disciplines closer has been felt, for
many years, both by Power Electronics specialists and by Automatic Control
theorists, as a means of fruitful interaction between the two scientific com-
munities. There have, certainly, been many steps given in that direction in
the last decade as evidenced by the number of research articles in journals,
special sessions in conferences, and summer courses throughout the world.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the technology behind the pico-solar revolution
and offers guidance on how to test and choose quality products. The book also discusses how
pioneering companies and initiatives are overcoming challenges to reach scale in the market-
place, from innovative distribution strategies to reach customers in rural India and Tanzania,
to product development in Cambodia, product assembly in Mozambique and the introduction
of ‘pay as you go’ technology in Kenya.
The purpose of this book is to help anyone involved in small-scale geophys-
ical surveys. It is not a textbook in the traditional sense, in that it is designed
for use in the field and concerns itself with practical matters – with the-
ory taking second place. Where theory determines field practice, it is stated,
not developed or justified. For example, no attempt is made to explain why
four-electrode resistivity works where two-electrode surveys do not.
Computer science as an academic discipline began in the 1960’s. Emphasis was on
programming languages, compilers, operating systems, and the mathematical theory that
supported these areas. Courses in theoretical computer science covered finite automata,
regular expressions, context-free languages, and computability. In the 1970’s, the study
of algorithms was added as an important component of theory. The emphasis was on
making computers useful. Today, a fundamental change is taking place and the focus is
more on a wealth of applications. There are many reasons for this change. The merging
of computing and communications has played an important role. The enhanced ability
to observe, collect, and store data in the natural sciences, in commerce, and in other
fields calls for a change in our understanding of data and how to handle it in the modern
setting. The emergence of the web and social networks as central aspects of daily life
presents both opportunities and challenges for theory.
Much has been written concerning the manner in which healthcare is changing, with
a particular emphasis on how very large quantities of data are now being routinely
collected during the routine care of patients. The use of machine learning meth-
ods to turn these ever-growing quantities of data into interventions that can improve
patient outcomes seems as if it should be an obvious path to take. However, the
field of machine learning in healthcare is still in its infancy. This book, kindly
supported by the Institution of Engineering andTechnology, aims to provide a “snap-
shot” of the state of current research at the interface between machine learning and
healthcare.
VME has been the de-facto bus standard for Commercial off the Shelf(COTS ) Circuit Card Assemblies since the 1980's. VME boards have proven to be remarkably capable of evolving to support newer technologies with innovations such as VME Subsystem Bus, PCI Mezzanine Cards(PMC's) and VME320.However, advances in technologies, appearing particularly in interconnects, have demonstratedthe need for an advance in system development. This advance needs to accommodate high speed interconnect, particularly serial interconnects, and higher power delivery in concert with better heat removal.

About:
hamsterdb is a database engine written in ANSI C. It supports a B+Tree index structure, uses memory mapped I/O (if available), supports cursors, and can create in-memory databases.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
This release comes with many changes and new features. It can manage multiple databases in one file. A new flag (HAM_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE) places an exclusive lock on the file. hamsterdb was ported to Windows CE, and the Solution file for Visual Studio 2005 now supports builds for x64. Several minor bugs were fixed, performance was improved, and small API changes occurred. Pre-built libraries for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) are available for download.
