3tamil hero
In his latest movie, Vijay is cast in a dual role - as an ace athlete/MBA student and as a ruffian out to swindle people.Other leading stars in Azhagiya Tamil Magan include Shriya Saran, Namitha and Ashish Vidyarthi.However, Azhagiya Tamil Magan lacks the entertainment appeal of Vijay's previous movie.
Pokiri proved to be a big success in India and with the diaspora outside. A remake of the successful Telugu film of the same name, Pokiri was a slick action movie focusing on the activities of a vicious criminal called Tamil (Vijay).
However, Vijay's earlier movie Aathi (2007) with Trisha as his co-star proved to be a dud and met with a poor reception from the audience. Some of the Vijay movies that have found favor with the audience include Thirumalai and Ghilli.
Vijay made his debut as a hero in the 1992 Tamil film Naalaya Theerpu and has acted in 45 films so far. He dropped out of the Bachelors Degree of Visual Communications program at Loyola College to pursue a career in films.nterestingly, several of Vijay's successful movies including Pokiri, Kadhalukku Mariyadhai and Ninaithaen Vandhai are remakes of movies first made in other languages.Born on June 22, 1974 to Tamil film producers S.A. Chandrasekaran and Shoba Chandrasekar, Vijay is married to Sangeeta. The couple have two children Sanjay and Divya Saasha.

tamil film
Said to be a mass commercial entertainer, a major portion of the movie was shot at Ramoji Rao Studio in Hyderabad in a grand manner. A set replicating a Mumbai market was put at a cost of Rs 40 lakh.Heaping laurels on Bharath, Suresh Krisnna says, ‘he would strike it rich with movie. The scenes involving Bharath and Ramya Krishnan have come good’.On his part, Bharath says, ‘I am a director’s actor. I do what the director wants. They (directors) have immense faith in my acting capabilities and cast me in different roles.’Efforts are on to release the movie for the forthcoming Pongal festival. It is expected that soon after completing Arumugham, Bharath will commence shooting for Thiruttani, to be directed byP
'We don't shoot entire pictures overseas. We only go there to shoot songs. Marginal increases in cost for such purposes don't matter much,' he said, adding that money flow was however a bit tight.
He said there are big projects and distributors are cautious now, though there were a few losses earlier in somecases. Most producers do not approach banks for finance as they prefer funding only big producers, he said, adding that it was very difficult to convince banks about the repaymentschedule
He welcomed the recent tax exemptions announced by the government, saying that the government has doalot for the industry and so we should give some good movies (in return).The celluloid world here was well equipped to handle the crisis as most producers had gone in for small budget films, he said.L Suresh, Vice-President, Film Federation of India, asserted that the recession had not affected film production and pointed out that 132 tamil films were produced last year, which would cross 150 mark this year

tamil news
Who is the lucky producer of Rajini's next film after Shivaji? It is a billion dollar question for Kollywood pundits who are eagerly waiting for the superstar's next film.
However, sources said that the actor is planning to do a film to be jointly made by K.Balachander's Kavithalaya and R.M.Veerappan's Sathya Movies
But one more producer is likely to join the list. It is none other than Panchu Arunachalam, one of the important producers who pushed Rajini to the position he is currently in. Panchu had incurred loss of almost Rs.1 crore from his recent release
Maayakkannadi, directed by Cheran. On learning about the loss, Rajini called on the producer over phone and assured him to do a film for him in future. Sources said that Rajini wants to include Panchu Arunachalam in the producers list of his next film.
Another big question is the heroine of the film. Well, the news is doing the rounds that Trisha, the seductive queen of South Indian Cinema would play the female lead role. He has finished all her commitments but she is rejecting new offers, waiting for the call from Rajini to play his heroine.

System Software
The common belief in the gambling world is related to the roulette wheel bias. Many kokodrilos (big–time gamblers) swear by the wheel in the sky that they make millions by exploiting the roulette wheel bias. There are plenty of legends. The wheels must have been terribly worn out.
I do have some problems and some remarks regarding the bias of the roulette wheel. I have done the most thorough research in this field. My tool of choice is computer software. My roulette software is not only unique, but founded on solid mathematics. I have analyzed both real–life casino roulette spins and random–generated spins. The reports are very much the same. Nobody will ever be able to tell which one is the real spin report and which one is the report on computer–generated roulette spins. The number frequencies are the same.
The three volumes systematically develop and apply the systems methodology for software development. For that the concept of a system is analysed and various types of systems used in computer science are systematized into a concept of an ad hoc system that is suitable as a mechanism for software development. The kernel of this methodology consists of a systematic approach for ad hoc systems development (specification, implementation, validation).
If your Macintosh provides the functionality and reliability that you need at the moment, there is no necessity to upgrade your system software. In theory, a user running a Quadra 700 computer could upgrade from System 7.0 all the way to Mac OS 8.1 but the Mac would probably need more memory, more hard disk space, a CD ROM drive and the owner would find that a few applications needed upgrading too. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

Tree plantation
Trees are planted in batches during the planting season which extends from March to October. You can donate a tree at any time, with plantation taking place as soon as possible if in season or at the start of the next planting season otherwise.
Olive trees and their harvest are vital to the economy and are a symbol of the Palestinian heritage and identity. Many farmers have been left destitute by the loss of their only source of income and this has had a knock-on effect on labourers and other parts of the economy. Olive trees are of course also an excellent form of sadaqa jaria (continuous charity) and will be a source of reward for as long as individuals or the community benefit. .
Tree crops have been publicised as performing functions similar to those of a forest in the maintenance of the water cycle. Some plantation proponents have even gone as far as to state that the tree plantations in prairie ecosystems help to regulate the water cycle (JICA 1987). Such affirmations are groundless.In ecosystems which have not been radically modified recently, the naturally-occurring vegetation possesses characteristics which ensure long-term balance in the water cycle. In some social contexts, large-scale industrial plantations can create local employment, and this is one of the main arguments wielded everywhere both by state and corporations to convince local communities to accept the projects. However, 'very often plantation development results in a long-term net loss of employment'. Although figures vary widely from place to place and source to source, on the whole there appears to be agreement that industrial plantations cannot employ as many people as conventional agriculture, particularly family agriculture. The cases in which large-scale plantations have generated more employment than was already locally-available, as in Uruguay, can be counted on the fingers of one hand

. Mathematical Methods in VLSI Design
Early in the system design process, a design method must be chosen. This choice is usually dictated by what methods the designer has previously used, not by an open selection process. In this paper we provide descriptions of some available design methods and examples of their use. In this project we will develop benchmark problems that will be solved by a variety of design methods. We will identify characteristics of problems that might make one system design method more or less appropriate. The top-level question we wish to answer is "For which type of problem is each method best?".
Structured Analysis (using Entity Relationship Diagrams, Data Flow Diagrams, and State Transition Diagrams with Ward-Mellor notation), Functional Decomposition, Object-Oriented Analysis with Shlaer/Mellor Notation, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Booch Notation, an Operational Evaluation Modeling Directed Graph, and IDEF0. Each method was used by an expert user of that method. The solutions presented make it obvious that the choice of a design method greatly effects the resulting system design.
Dynamic power is a major component in the overall power dissipation of aCMOS circuit. It can be reduced by minimizing the number of transitions ofsignals. Besides the logic transitions, glitches (or hazards) also consume power.
The glitch power elimination objective is successfully incorporated into thestandard cell library based design flow. This was done without re-design of thelibrary. The new design flow is effective in designing minimum transient energystandard cell based digital CMOS circuits. Due to the high level of automationthe flow permits, the performance of a standard cell based design is improved
without sacrificing the fast design cycle time feature.

COBOL
Funnily enough, the same people who objected to the English in COBOL objected to the baroque elegance of APL where all the English was replaced with numerical symbols, so one might conclude they just liked the status quo. Mercifully, the COBOL wars died out when the people who hated it turned out to hate ALGOL 68 even more."The question is, why is Cobol still in widespread use? The answer is, it does the job, it was conceived for business. Cobol is built around the concept of moving things around in storage. Most languages are built around a lower abstraction level and are more focused on algorithms. "
Another important effect that should result from the use of common languages is a lessening of duplication of effort. With the availability of scientific algorithms and of effective solutions to various business problems in convenient, understandable, and usable languages, it should no longer be necessary for every installation to resolve the same problems. This should permit a more rapid advancement, not only in the programming area, but in many of the fields that make use of computers.
. However the enormous success of the language in the face of dismissal by hackers and academics suggests they may be missing something. When the facts and the theory collide, sometimes the theory needs to be examined anew. Here are some reasons for writing a free COBOL compiler: There is no complete free COBOL compiler.Because of the good features of COBOL described above. To allow mainframe code to be ported to and from GNU/Linux easily. COBOL and assembler are the only languages that run well on IBM mainframes. To allow me to fix some of the problems with COBOL via extensions. This was my idea anyway. The size of COBOL means it will be a big achievement just to get the standard function going.

. php
PHP is recursively known as PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. This open source server side scripting language has become wildly popular over the past few years; many developers now swear by it. It lets programmers create web pages with dynamic content that can interact with databases.
you can begin to design a database you must understand the underlying concepts and theories of why databases are used and how they are created. In this article, Steve gives us a great explanation of what a database is, the relational database model, metadata and indexes, the database management system and structured query language.Databases are the primary form of storage in both today's online and offline worlds.
Databases are used to store millions of different types/combinations of information including product details, employees, personal address books, news, etc. Before you can begin to design a database however, you must understand the underlying concepts and theories of why databases are used and how they are created. In this article, I will explain all of this and more. I will take a look at what a database is, the relational database model, metadata and indexes, the DBMS and SQL.
Working with factory classes is a rather common process for many PHP developers who build object-based applications on a frequent basis. If you want to find out how to make this helpful class work for you, then this group of articles might be what you need. Welcome to the final installment of the series that began with "Using the Factory Pattern in PHP 5." In three parts, this series goes through the key concepts of implementing the factory pattern with PHP, and complements theory with numerous and educational code samples.

Computer Vision
Image processing concerns image properties and image-to-image transformations, whereas the main target of computer vision is the 3-D world. As most computer vision algorithms require some form of image processing, the overlap between the two areas is significant. The contours of the two also blend into those of robotics, signal processing, pattern recognition, control theory, artificial intelligence and other fields.
As a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory and technology for building artificial systems that obtain information from images or multi-dimensional data.A significant part of artificial intelligence deals with planning or deliberation for system which can perform mechanical actions such as moving a robot through some environment.This type of processing typically needs input data provided by a computer vision system, acting as a vision sensor and providing high-level information about the environment and the robot.
Feature detection methods based on the combination of Gaussian derivative operators at multiple scales. Special focus is given to the problem of scale selection, in order to adapt the local scales of processing to the local image structure. Specifically, the notion of automatic scale selection based on gamma-normalized derivatives makes it possible to define scale-invariant image features. The use of such scale-invariant image features allows the vision system to automatically handle the unknown scale variations that may occur in real-world image data, due to objects of different physical size as well as objects with different distances to the camera.
the journal itself is changing: As our field evolves, so does the scope of IJCV, now embracing both the foundational aspects of computer vision—such as image formation, sensing, processing, analysis, and interpretation, and a number of striving application domains—such as image-based rendering, image retrieval, medical imaging, surveillance, and video analysis and annotation.

Performance Evaluation of Computer Systems
Evaluating the performance of a computer system usually involves constructing an appropriate model of the system and then using the model to predict the system's behavior. The model incorporates appropriate information about the system structure or organization as well as its workload or input. Sometimes the model is analyzed using mathematical techniques; alternatively (or in addition), the model may be simulated. Analytic models describe the system with a set of equations, and are often stochastic. A simulation model is a computer program whose execution mimics the behavior of the system and from which measurements can be taken to generate performance data; simulation models are also often stochastic.
Performance is a key criterion in the design, procurement, and use of computer [and communication, AW] systems. As such, the goal of computer systems engineers, [software engineers, AW], scientists, analysts, and users is to get the highest performance for a given cost. To achieve that goal, computer systems professionals need, at least, a basic knowledge of performance evaluation terminology and techniques. Anyone associated with computer systems should be able to state the performance requirements of their systems and should be able to compare different alternatives to find the one that best meets their requirements.
There are at least two advantages to apply models like Fitts' law to empirical studies. First, the model provides predictable power beyond the task parameters, such as a set of target size and distance, tested in the experiment. Second, since Fitts' law transforms the experimental measurements to an index of performance that is independent of the specific task parameters (size and distance), it is possible to compare results across studies that do not use identical settings.
One limitation of Fitts' law paradigm, however, is that target acquisition, or pointing, is no longer the only task a computer input device is used for. Capabilities such as drawing, writing, navigating through nested menus, and moving in 3D virtual worlds all become increasingly desirable.

. Multi-Agent Systems
Multi-Agent Systems are communities of problem-solving entities that can perceive and act upon their environment to achieve their individual goals as well as joint goals. The work on such systems integrates many technologies and concepts in artificial intelligence and other areas of computing as well as other disciplines. Over recent years, the agent paradigm gained popularity, due to its applicability to a full spectrum of domains, from search engines to educational aids to electronic commerce and trade, e-procurement, recommendation systems, simulation and routing, to cite only some.
Computational logic provides a well-defined, general, and rigorous framework for studying syntax, semantics and procedures for various tasks by individual agents, as well as interaction amongst agents in multi-agent systems, for implementations, environments, tools, and standards, and for linking together specification and verification of properties of individual agents and multi-agent systems.
VERICS - a prototype verification system (for scientific purposes so far) aimed at verifying distributed systems described either as timed automata or in the specification language ESTELLE. The present version of the system allows for verification of the reachability properties.
Experimental designs can be thought of as arrangements of elements of a set into subsets with pre-determined properties desirable for particular applications in particular situations. Such arrangements are characterised and described by various factors, including: their current and potential fields of application, such as in cryptographic protocols, or in planning sample surveys or clinical experiments or marking schemes for tests, and so on; their properties; their size and complexity; and their origins, possibly from algebraic structures or from finite geometries or from computer search, or from some combination of these.

Such arrangements are characterised and described by various factors, including: their current and potential fields of application, such as in cryptographic protocols, or in planning sample surveys or clinical experiments or marking schemes for tests, and so on; their properties; their size and complexity; and their origins, possibly from algebraic structures or from finite geometries or from computer search, or from some combination of these.
. Machine Translation & Information Extraction
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the automatic analysis of human languages such as English, Korean, etc. by computer algorithms. Unlike artificially created programming languages where the structure and meaning of programs is easy to encode, human languages provide an interesting challenge, both in terms of its analysis and the learning of language from observations.
NLP can be used for the transduction of one linguistic form to another or parsing of language into a structured form. Transduction of language involves summarizing, paraphrasing or translating languages. Parsing involves conversion of unstructured data into a structured form, such as speech into text or large text collections like the web into informative labels. Examples of parsing include identifying a group of words as a person's name or identifying the recursive grammar of a language.
Statistical machine translation and language independent acoustic modeling were two of the topics studied at the 1999 Johns Hopkins University Language Engineering Workshop hosted by the Center for Language and Speech Processing. In booth of these topics Czech played the role of the target experimental language.
Automatic translation from one human language to another using computers, better known as machine translation (MT), is a longstanding goal of computer science.
Recently, statistical data analysis has been used to gather MT knowledge automatically from parallel bilingual text. Unfortunately, these techniques and tools have not been disseminated to the scientific community in very usable form, and new follow-on ideas have developed sporadically.

cluster analysis
While geographic concentration is a primary feature of most business clusters, the Creative Enterprise Cluster transcends space – Who, What and Why are more important than Where and How Much. Shared interests defines the bond of community of the creative individuals and small businesses that comprise the Creative Enterprise Cluster. Once overlooked and dismissed as marginal contributors to local and regional economic vitality, creative researchers such as Richard Florida and Stuart Rosenfeld are shining a bright and constructive light on the self-employed and very small businesses that make up the Creative Enterprise Cluster.
The creative enterprise cluster is made up largely of entrepreneurs and small companies. The capital investment needed to start many of the enterprises based on art and design is relatively low. Creative enterprises tend not to attract significant capital because they are unable to promise the rapid growth most investors seek. Enterprises.
The advantage of clustering is twofold. Firstly, by storing the field or fields comprising the Cluster Key once instead of multiple times, storage is saved. More significantly, the fields of the Cluster Key are often indexed, so the high maintenance indexes for those fields are also reduced from containing multiple key entries to a single key entry. The arguably more significant advantage to Clustering is to expidite join queries. When 2 (or more) tables repeatedly have their rows accessed together via a join query, those tables are good candidates for Clustering. It should be noted that the clustering of tables in Oracle does not affect the relational model (table schemas). It is a transparent 'backend' data storage technique

. Theory of Computation
To capture the idea of computation, the theory of Partial Recursive Functions asks: Can we view a computational process as being generated by combining a few basic processes ? It therefore tries to identify the basic processes, called the initial functions. It then goes on to identify combining techniques, called operators that can generate new processes from the basic ones. The choice of the initial functions and the operators is quite arbitrary and we have our first set of questions that can develop the theory of computation further. For example,
Is the choice of the initial functions unique ? Similarly, is the choice of the operators unique ? If different initial functions or operators are chosen will we have a more restricted theory of computation or a more general theory of computation ? .
one of the simplest models of computation. When interconnected, discrete finite state automata have the ability to exhibit interesting dynamical behavior. These characteristics make DFA an ideal unit with which to build a system suitable for studying the connection between dynamical behavior and computational ability. The automaton sensor is the device by which data is input. For example the automaton could have a thermometer reading temperature, a magnet reading a hard drive, an antenna reading radio waves, or anything else that would import information. We restrict the accuracy of the imported information by allowing the automaton to recognize only a finite number of different input values or symbols.
Because operation continues until the input source has been exhausted, it is often practical to place a finite limit on the amount of information that may be made available to an automaton for input.

Data Warehousing & Data Mining
The term “data mining” is often confused with OLAP. In OLAP, the user can carry out the what-if analysis, make forecasts based on the historical data, run weekly or monthly reports and obtain the results within seconds. OLAP analysis, while hints at, say, customer behavior, generally does not provide the benchmarks to segment the customers. Data mining provides these benchmarks. Data mining is data driven and not user driven as in OLAP. The current generation of data mining systems enables a user to launch a search process without actually knowing the answer to the query beforehand.
Moreover, data mining is the iterative process of discovering actionable and meaningful patterns, profiles and trends that can enable our clients to be more competitive, more productive and more efficient. In some cases, the implementation of data mining applications has unearthed millions of dollars in savings and new revenue opportunities. Byte Magazine reported that some companies have reaped returns on investment of as much as 1,000 times their initial investment on a single project. It is used to compare the general features of target class data objects with the general features of objects from one or a set of contrasting classes. The contrasting classes is specified by a user and the corresponding data objects retrieved through database queries. Data integration is used to combine data from multiple sources into a coherent data store, as in a data warehouse. These source may include multiple database, data cubes or flat files.

BIOINFORMATICS
However bioinformatics, more properly refers to the creation and advancement of algorithms, computational and statistical techniques, and theory to solve formal and practical problems posed by or inspired from the management and analysis of biological data. Computational biology, on the other hand, refers to hypothesis-driven investigation of a specific biological problem using computers, carried out with experimental and simulated data, with the primary goal of discovery and the advancement of biological knowledge.
These are sorted by national and international centres. There are two major such centres; the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) which is in the US, and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) which is in the UK, at Hinxton Hall outside Cambridge. These two organisations sort and annotate incoming DNA data, which are released as the Genbank and EMBL databases respectively. Major releases of the database take place every few months; incremental updates are released daily.
number of genomes have now been completely sequenced, and the data is freely available via the EMBL and other databases. At present, the databases include many separate genes as well as the complete genomes in sections - again, some rationalisation will take place. Those completed include Haemophilus influenzae, Sarcomyces cerevischia, Methanococcus genitalium, Methanococcus jannaschii, Synecosystis PCC 6803 and E.
Bioinformatics is viewed here as an interdisciplinary field that greatly benefits from collaborators coming from disparate backgrounds. This short course will use a problem-solving, collaborative approach to analyze molecular data in several different ways. Bioinformatics is being applied to solve current biological problems in areas such as medicine, agriculture, conservation, and evolution. The relationships between evolutionary theory and the analysis of molecular sequence and structure data will be emphasized.

Digital Communications
One advantage of digital information is that it tends to be far more resistant to transmitted and interpreted errors than information symbolized in an analog medium. This accounts for the clarity of digitally-encoded telephone connections, compact audio disks, and for much of the enthusiasm in the engineering community for digital communications technology. However, digital communication has its own unique pitfalls, and there are multitudes of different and incompatible ways in which it can be sent
For many applications, it would suffice for our needs perfectly. But, it is not the only way to get the job done. For the purposes of exploring digital techniques, we'll explore other methods of monitoring this hypothetical tank, even though the analog method just described might be the most practical.
The analog system, as simple as it may be, does have its limitations. One of them is the problem of analog signal interference. Since the tank's water level is symbolized by the magnitude of DC current in the circuit, any "noise" in this signal will be interpreted as a change in the water level.One of the largest discrepancies concerns aging or other features of organisms that act to restrict life span. Darwin's theory is largely based on "survival of the fittest". If an individual organism has a trait that allows it to survive longer and therefore breed more, its traits are more likely to be represented in descendents. If an individual has traits that limit its survival relative to other individuals, those traits tend to "select out" and be removed from the gene pool. It is therefore impossible, according to orthodox Darwinism, for an organism to evolve a trait that restricts or regulates survival without any compensating individually beneficial effect such as an increase in reproductive capacity

Analog and Mixed Signal Design
Conversion and translation of electronic signals from one format to another is a key function for getting disparate systems to communicate. The external environment is analog, so sensor input signals are converted to digital format for storage, manipulation, and transmission. They are then converted back to analog to drive heaters, motors, displays, antennas, and speakers. Some analog signals are more easily converted first in the analog domain prior to digitizing, such as RMS and energy measurement. For ease of transmission, digitizing can also be done to a proportional frequency with a V-F converter.
The class will present several typical design flows including second-order effects: power estimation and low-power design (both at high level and at gate level) and speed optimization for digital circuits; process variations and mismatching effects for analog circuits; signal integrity issues and complex simulation for mixed-signal circuits and design and simulation of RF-ICs.
A break statement is embedded in the sequential logic of a conventional VHDL process and so executes at a particular time. The break statement signals a discontinuity at that time by scheduling a zero-delayed transaction on the implicit break signal. It can also specify new initial conditions for selected quantities. The implicit break signal cannot be referred to directly by the model because it does not have a defined name. Its value is in any case of no interest -- only the fact that its driver is active is interesting.the digital signal processing (DSP) core of a system and the analog world. The processing of signals is predominantly performed in the digital world rather than in the analog world. This is because digital circuits can achieve tremendo

. Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence; algorithmic probability; sequential decision theory; Solomonoff induction; Kolmogorov complexity; Bayes mixture distributions; reinforcement learning; universal sequence prediction; tight loss and error bounds; universal Levin search; strategic games; function minimization; supervised learning; adaptive control theory; rational agents; exploration versus exploitation.
The universal algorithmic agent AIXI. AIXI is a universal theory of sequential decision making akin to Solomonoff's celebrated universal theory of induction. Solomonoff derived an optimal way of predicting future data, given previous observations, provided the data is sampled from a computable probability distribution. AIXI extends this approach to an optimal decision making agent embedded in an unknown environment.Human beings function in one predictable way: we pursue pathways that lead to pleasure and we stay away from pathways that lead to pain. Why do we eat good food compared to bad food? Because we like good food and we don’t like bad food. Why do we want a higher paying job instead of being homeless? Because we like more money and we don’t want to be homeless. Why do we not break laws instead of breaking laws? Because we want to be good citizens and we don’t want the consequences of breaking the law. From these examples you have an idea why human beings pursue pleasure and stay away from pain. I call this learning machine “Universal Artificial Intelligence”. UAI is a program that has a bootstrapping process that retains old information and uses the old information to learn new information.

. Computer Graphics
3D scanning is a powerful tool for acquiring the shape and appearance of unique physical objects, and for bringing the creative design process from the sculptor into the computer. Capturing the properties of existing objects has driving applications in reverse engineering, inspection, virtual dissemination of museum artifacts, and anatomical modeling for medicine. In addition, when desiging new objects such as automobiles or synthetic movie characters, clay is frequently a superior "interface" than most computer-aided geometric design systems.
We are developing new methods for acquiring high resolution shape and color data. We are exploring ways of reconstructing useful computer models from this data. And we are devising algorithms that enable real-time interaction with these models by taking advantage of current trends in 3D graphics hardware development.Many objects in nature, like trees, mountains and seashells, have a property called selfsimilarity. Sometimes this property is very pronounced, other natural phenomena exhibit this property to a lesser degree. During the past years much attention has been paid to fractals, purely selfsimilar objects. We present a formalism, based on the well-known object-instancing graph, to represent objects which are not necessarily purely selfsimilar. We show that Iterated Function Systems and some famous variants can be described elegantly in this formalism. We also present an algorithm to raytrace such objects

Speech Processing
There are four basic systems that have been used to increase the "talk power" of an AM or SSB signal. RF CLIPPING. RF COMPRESSION. AUDIO COMPRESSION AUDIO CLIPPING As the graph clearly shows, this is by far the most effective method. But it’s restricted just to SSB transmitters. That’s because the processing occurs in the IF stage of the transmitter, after the SSB signal has been generated, rather than in the audio stages.
This type of processing is commonly found in virtually all CB and HAM SSB rigs. You may have heard it called by its more common name, "ALC," or Automatic Level Control. Basically this is a simple feedback system identical in principle to the Automatic Gain Control or AGC circuits used in receivers.
Applications of speech recognition have been made in office or business systems, as well as in manufacturing, medicine, and telecommunications, and usually concern the recognition and retrieval of information, such as voice- activated data entry; the control, operation, and monitoring of various machines and devices; call-processing functions; and the automation of services normally requiring human beings. While speech recognition has many short-term applications, it also has the potential to change daily life profoundly as free communication between man and machine becomes a reality.
The perception of speech involves the recognition of patterns in the acoustic signal in both time and frequency dimensions (domains). Such patterns are realised acoustically as changes in amplitude at each frequency over a period of time. The advantage of a speech code or rule set is that there is no need for a vast storage of templates since the input signal is converted into a linguistic entity using those rules. The rules achieve their task by a drastic restructuring of the input signal.

. NLP Semantics
There is general consensus as to what aspects of meaning must go into a representation, which one could say is roughly what is found in an extended case theory and its associated procedures (such as preference semantics); that description covers all systems up to, say, Pustejovksy's generative Lexicon, in fact everything short of model-theoretic semantics, which is still not generally accepted in NLP.
Neuro-Semantics stands out as both "enriched" NLP and "enriched" General Semantics. Returning to the sources of NLP, General Semantics, Bateson’s works in anthropology, schizophrenia, Levels of Learning, and cybernetics, MRI Institute, Cognitive Psychology (Miller, Galanter, Pribram), etc., we have sought to establish Neuro-Semantics on solid, scientific, and highly researched studies.
NLP, for a variety of reasons, has seemed to have received lots of negative and harmful Public Relations and General Semantics has seemed to locate itself in a small and isolated community. For these (and other reasons), we have sought to step aside just enough from NLP and GS so that we can both continue the adventure of modeling and engineering human excellence but not tied down to the limitations of the two source disciplines.
That early NLP modelling produced two NLP models which reflect the way we distort, delete and generalise information. The two models have come to be known as the meta model, and the Milton model. Meta modelling reconnects language with experience. Milton model languaging paces people's experience. Asking meta model questions elicits highly specified answers. Milton model languaging is artfully vague.

. Database Management Systems
Database researchers love to talk about relational algebra, n-tuples, normal form, and natural composition, while throwing around mathematical symbols. This patina of mathematical obscurity tends to distract your attention from their bad suits and boring personalities, but is of no value if you just want to use a relational database management system. In fact, this is all you need to know to be a Caveman Database Programmer: A relational database is a big spreadsheet that several people can update simultaneously.
From an application programmer's point of view, the biggest innovation in the relational database is that one uses a declarative query language, SQL (an acronym for Structured Query Language and pronounced "ess-cue-el" or "sequel"). Most computer languages are procedural. The programmer tells the computer what to do, step by step, specifying a procedure. In SQL, the programmer says "I want data that meet the following criteria" and the RDBMS query planner figures out how to get it. There are two advantages to using a declarative language.
If you are using a database for home or small office use, Microsoft Access or Filemaker should be fine. If you need to create a database driven website, then you're better off using a more robust system such as SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL. Microsoft SQL Server is a more robust database management system than Access. While Access is better suited to home and small office use, SQL Server is more suited to enterprise applications such as corporate CRMs and websites etc.Database Management System (DBMS), is a software program that enables the creation and management of databases. Generally, these databases will be more complex than the text file/spreadsheet example in the previous lesson. In fact, most of today's database systems are referred to as a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), because of their ability to store related data across multiple tables

Microsoft SQL Server is a more robust database management system than Access. While Access is better suited to home and small office use, SQL Server is more suited to enterprise applications such as corporate CRMs and websites etc.Database Management System (DBMS), is a software program that enables the creation and management of databases. Generally, these databases will be more complex than the text file/spreadsheet example in the previous lesson. In fact, most of today's database systems are referred to as a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), because of their ability to store related data across multiple tables
. optimization
Given that optimizing is reasonable, compile in full optimize mode and run your program on "real-world" input data. If you don't have access to real input data, choose your test input data with care: programmers tend to test with a smaller set of input data and a different variety of cases than the the program will likely encounter once it's in the hands of users.
Once you have identified a bottleneck, for example a loop that is executed thousands of times, remember that the best thing to do is to redesign the program so that it doesn't need to execute the loop thousands of times. This is more effective than making the loop run 10% faster, yet just as often, which is precisely the sort of thing an optimizing compiler can do by itself. Optimization is simply waste of programmer time if any of these statements are true: parts of the program haven't been written yet the program is not fully tested and debugged it seems to run fast enough already .
Operations Research is characterized by its broad applicability, by it rigorous mathematical foundations, and by the wide variety of career opportunities. In the last years, the Operations Research group at DEI gained an internationally-recognized expertise on advanced techniques for solving difficult Operations Research problems, which is witnessed by 100+ publications of the group in top-level scientific journals. In particular, important optimization problems that can be modelled as Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP) problems have been addressed and solved, most of which derived from real-world applications in the field of air traffic control, vehicle routing, and telecommunications.

The Nutrition Foundation of India had organised a two-day workshop on July 31-August 1 on 'the Mid-Day Meal Programme in Schools in India - The Way Forward', a subject which has gained greater interest in recent times owing to the Supreme Court judgment. During the workshop, there were in-depth presentations and discussions on the experiences of various states regarding their School Meal Programme. What would be the cost of a school meal? Would there be a strong justification for using our buffer stocks of food grains for supplying staple food to the schools, which propose to undertake the School Meal Programme?The School Meal Programme must be a community effort - not purely a state bureaucratic operation. What are the strategies to involve the community and to enlist their active and informed participation? How does the community view the programme? What has been the experience in this regard and what are the possible future strategies

Makeup Tips
Bold greys, smouldering and smokey are on the eyelids of many supermodels - even making their way to the nails with matte grey making many an appearance. To get it right, the Bare Escentuals Get Started eye kit is a perfect place to begin. If you're looking for a key eye makeup tip, it's this - silver, grey and gold shimmers are all the rage. Keep the eyes dark and smokey, make a dramatic impression by using an intensely coloured powder shadow across the eyelid and well into the socket for a sheer wash of illumination, then blend the same colour lighter under the line of your lower lashes.
Lip color is another story. Heavy lipstick will last longer than gloss, but if you layer lip liner all over the lips and then coat with lipstick or gloss, you will increase the wear time by hours and hours. If you don’t have a problem with dry lips, you can try a semi-permanent lip formula that lasts up to 12 hours. Mineral makeup isn't cheap, so if you aren't sure what shade works best on your skin, try to get a sample size to take home and try in different lights.
Some companies like Base Escentuals and Loreal have store counters where you can try different shades, but unless the light in the store is similar to the light you work and live under, you may find you get home with a shade that doesn't complement your skin. You may want to purchase two shades; one lighter and one darker, for contouring or mixing.
For basic skin care, add mineral foundation to your regime: many women have noticed that simply using the makeup contributes to their skin's health. They say their pores look smaller, blemishes or roughness that had been caused by unknown allergies to other makeup products disappear and in general their skin looks better after having used the minerals for awhile, even when they aren't wearing makeup.

CipherText
The four most common modes are ECB, CBC, CFB, and OFB. In what follows, Ek denotes the encryption function of the block cipher E parameterized by key K, while E-1k denotes decryption. A plaintext message x = x1 …xt is assumed to consist of n-bit blocks for ECB and CBC modes, and r-bit blocks for CFB and OFB modes for appropriate fixed r<=n. Although public-key encryption algorithms (such as RSA) also use block ciphers, their analysis requires a different approach than symmetric-key algorithms.
First of all, you must realize that unlike encryption with symmetric key, which can be performed on plaintext of an arbitrary size, the maximum number of plaintext bytes that can be encrypted using a public key depends on the size of the key (and the type of padding).
Block ciphers take a block of plaintext, whose size depends on the cryptosystem, and use a fixed key of some block length also depending on the cryptosystem, to produce a block of ciphertext, usually the same length as the block of plaintext. Such encryption is ``stand-alone'' and does not depend on what happened before. (Such a block cipher does not have state or memory.) Having ciphertext block size the same as plaintext block size is important, because then there is no data expansion with encryption.
Encryption itself provides a function from each possible plaintext block to a ciphertext block, with no duplicate values occurring. Similarly decryption gives the inverse mapping, which would not be uniquely defined if there were duplicates. Encryption in this type of cryptosystem is essentially a parameterized collection of encryption functions, one for each key value.

Automatic teller machine
An automated teller machine generates new business. Customers are more likely to seek out a location with an automated teller machine; in addition to convenience, there are a number of safety benefits associated with an in-store automated teller machine, according to survey results published in Petroleum Marketer magazine. An automated teller machine pays for itself. With break-even points below 100 transactions per month, even a low traffic location can more than pay for an automated teller machine from surcharge revenues alone.
The first voucher based cash dispensing machine was installed in 1967 by Barclay's Bank in London. Experts, however, do not consider this an ATM. The first modern day ATM was introduced to consumers in 1969 by Chemical Bank. An automatic teller machine or ATM allows a bank customer to conduct their banking transactions from almost every other ATM machine in the world. Don Wetzel was the co-patentee and chief conceptualist of the automated teller machine, an idea he thought of while waiting in line at a Dallas bank.
At the time (1968) Wetzel was the Vice President of Product Planning at Docutel, the company that developed automated baggage-handling equipment. The other two inventors listed on the patent were Tom Barnes, the chief mechanical engineer and George Chastain, the electrical engineer. It took five million dollars to develop the ATM. The concept of the ATM first began in 1968, a working prototype came about in 1969 and Docutel was issued a patent in 1973. The first working ATM was installed in a New York based Chemical Bank.
In an ATM embodying the invention the speed of issue of a receipt will be much faster than the time taken to issue a detailed receipt. Thus the period of perceived use of an ATM by a customer will be reduced. On the other hand the customer will find that such a receipt will be more reassuring than a receipt for a mere envelope the contents of which are unspecified.

portal
Many developers start to build the application by building portlets or JSPs first. This makes sense as the UI design prototypes can be utilize to kickstart development. However in my opinion Workshop and the automatic generation features work best if you start to build your application from the lowest layers first. Even though from the developer's perspective many complex portal applications look like rich clients, with complex PageFlows, and portlet interactions, users view the resulting portals as just another web page.
They will try to bookmark Step no. 5 of a "checkout order" wizard, and when they return, they will expect their half-done order process to be resumed, and they will still use the Back button, even if they've been navigating through many of your portlets, and expect that the result will still make sense.

Make a fertilizer
Seed meals tend to be acidic, so lime is included to balance that out. Dolomite limestone is roughly half Magnesium Carbonate and half Calcium Carbonate. Calcitic limestone is pure Calcium Carbonate. Plants usually need more calcium than magnesium; so, if you want to be really tricky, use 1/3 part dolomite lime and 2/3 part calcitic lime.
If your soil is alkaline, you might experiment with reducing or eliminating the lime in this mix.
The rice husk or rice hull is created by the rice milling process .This bio waste is good source of fuel for biomass power plants .Being a cheaper cost alternative, is widely used by paper plants for the production of energy & stream for captive purposes. This husk contains about 75 % organic volatile matter and the balance 25 % of the weight of this husk is converted into ash during the firing process , & is named as as rice husk ash.
"The Master's" All Purpose Fertilizer 1 can of beer 1 can of cola (any kind, NOT iet) 1 box or cup of apple juice 1 cup lemon scented liquid soap 1 cup ammonia 1 cup liquid lawn fertilizer Mix together all ingredients. If you buy liquid lawn fertilizer with a hose sprayer attachment, you can use the attachment with any 1 liter bottle to make a 50 gallon sprayer. Spray your lawn and garden with the above mixture every 3 weeks, early in the day. For houseplants, mix 4 shot glasses of the above mixture to 1 gallon of water and add 1/4 tsp knox gelatin.
so don't use lawn fertilizer in your perennial beds!It isn't necessary to buy different fertilizers for different plants, so don't be taken in by the myriad of products on the shelf. You don't need rose food and tomato food and bloom "boosters". A single, all-purpose fertilizer will take care of all your vegetables and blooming plants. You will also need a separate formulation for your lawn.

Soil
Some species move and live in the upper soil strata and feed primarily on soil and associated organic matter (geophages). They do not have permanent burrows, and their temporary channels become filled with cast material as they move through the soil, progressively passing it through their intestines. These species live in or near surface plant litter. They are typically small and are adapted to the highly variable moisture and temperature conditions at the soil surface. The worms found in compost piles are epigeic and are unlikely to survive in the low organic matter environment of soil.
As they consume organic matter and mineral particles, earthworms excrete wastes in the form of casts, a type of soil aggregate. Charles Darwin calculated that earthworms can move large amounts of soil from the lower strata to the surface and also carry organic matter down into deeper soil layers. A large proportion of soil passes through the guts of earthworms, and they can turn over the top six inches (15 cm) of soil in ten to twenty years.
Water can be saved by reducing evaporation direct from the soil. Water evaporates faster in high temperatures and wind. So if wind speed can be reduced at soil level (and above it) while the soil can be kept cool, much water loss can be avoided. Covering the soil with mulch and erecting wind break hedges is one solution. In Spain and around the Mediterranean Sea, where the climate is too dry in summer, farmers till the soil under their olive trees to prevent weeds drawing water and mulch the soil with tilled, dry soil. However, this method leaves the soil wide open to erosion when sudden rains appear.
The water collecting in a reservoir is the run-off from rain falling on the upper-catchment area. In its journey to the lake, it has dissolved valuable nutrients but also the not so valuable salts that have been discarded by living soil. If this water were applied to soils that experience a good soaking several times per year, the salts would be washed further down the slopes, eventually ending in the sea.

animals life
Humans kill and injure an untold number of animals to make clothing, car seats, toys, pillows, and other products. Animals who die for our clothing include cows, pigs, rabbits, coyotes, ostriches, and rattlesnakes. Cow skins are used for any number of items sold on the market, the most common of which are belts, shoes, handbags, and wallets. The leather made from a cow¹s skin is roughly equal in value to the flesh of that cow, which means leather is not a byproduct.
The miserable factory farm conditions behind a steak are also behind a leather wallet. As a rule these animals suffer extreme crowding and confinement, unanesthetized castration, branding, tail-docking and de-horning, and cruel treatment during transport and slaughter. The pelts of fur-bearing animals are used primarily for coats, though scraps may be used for cat toys. Some fur stores, in what must be viewed by rational minds as obscene, peddle stuffed animals such as teddy bears made from the skins of live animals such as minks.When we speak of animal rights, therefore, we are not speaking merely of a humane approach to animal care. The radical animal rights proponents desire to stop medical research. They want to see the end of hunting and fishing practices. They want to set aside millions of acres of land for the protection of species such as the northern spotted owl. They do not want this land to be used by man, not even for selective harvesting of timber. They want to stop the use of skins and furs for clothing, shoes, or accessories. Many animal rights proponents are vegetarians who do not believe man has the right to kill and eat animals

polyethylene sources
Polyethylene (PE) is the material used over half of all films today, and low density polyethylene (LDPE) is the source of most poly bags. All of out stock bags are manufactured with LDPE for its great tensile strength, clarity, flexibility, and water barrier properties. It is also resistant to most caustic compounds. For each layflat bag, there are three dimensions. The first measurement is the width across the opening of the bag. The length runs from the bag opening to the base of the bag. Gauge, the third figure in a bag's dimensions, is a measure of its thickness expressed in mils.
Interference fringe bands are often observed in infrared transmission spectra of polymer films. These bands interfere with and obscure important small features in spectra associated with various types of additives. FTIR-PAS spectra are free of interference artifacts due to the differences in signal generation between an absorption versus transmission basedmeasurement. Conventional transmission and FTIR-PAS spectra of a 32 micrometer thick polyethylene film. The PAS spectrum has been converted to transmittance for the purpose of comparison. Note the absence of interference fringes in the PAS spectrum.
Polyethylene tarps are lightweight compared to canvas, and are often put to use in landscaping since they will not crush grass or plants underneath them. They are often used to cover sports fields in between games to keep the field safe from rain and wind. Poly tarps are also good for covering swimming pools during the cold months.

nuclear energy is seen as a vital tool to guarantee energy security; in the continent's largest economy, however, things are a bit different. One of the fiercest opponents of nuclear energy is a German federal minister. Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel of the center-left Social Democratic Party is one of the architects of the German plan to phase out nuclear energy by 2021. Earlier this week he increased the pressure on the German nuclear energy industry after security deficits surfaced at two plants run by Vattenfall Europe.
Speaking at a Committee for Economic Development of Australia lunch, Mr Switkowski said he believed the Prime Minister's taskforce looking at a carbon emissions scheme will put a cost on greenhouse gases within the next decade."Australia along with other countries … will put a price on our pollution … That is the way the wind is blowing," he said. "Once carbon dioxide emissions are costed and .. people make a decision they really do want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions then the only alternative which is cost-competitive, clean and safe … is nuclear power."
Before civil nuclear trade can begin, several hurdles remain. American and Indian officials need to work out a separate technical nuclear cooperation agreement, expected to be finished next year. The two countries must now obtain an exception for India in the rules of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, an assembly of nations that export nuclear material. Indian officials must also negotiate a safeguard agreement with the IAEA.The IAEA's database on trafficking in nuclear materials has logged more than 550 incidents since 1993, it revealed at a conference in Stockholm. The rate of incidents in 1999 and 2000

Weights of Zero
Theoretically, zero sampling weights should not be possible. Sampling weights are supposed to be the inverse of the probability of being sampled, so if this is the case, they cannot be zero. But often weights are adjusted through various procedures and they can be set to zero, or even a negative value. (Aside: only svyset with iweights will handle negative weights, all other commands will exit with an error mentioning negative weights.) Zero weights can also be created when one is modeling a subpopulation. For instance, suppose you have males and females in your sample and you want to model only the males.
Hence, when there are only a few zero weights, the difference in standard errors will be very, very small—as it is in this example. Only when there are substantial numbers of zero weights will the standard errors differ appreciably. skinPercent is undoable, queryable, and editable.This command edits and queries the weight values on members of a skinCluster node. If no object components are explicitly mentioned in the command line, the current selection list is used. Note that setting multiple weights in a single invocation of this command is far more efficient than calling it once per weighted vertex.Most connectionist models have assumed that each connection has a single weightwhich is adjusted during the course of learning. Despite the emergingbiological evidence that changes in synaptic efficacy at a single synapse occurat many different time-scales (Kupferman, 1979; Hartzell, 1981), there havebeen relatively few attempts to investigate the computational advantages ofgiving each connection several different weights that change at differentspeeds.

54improve typing speed
When you walk you don't really have to think about it too much or when you blink or speak or chew your food. All these activities are taken care of by your unconscious mind. And that is what happens when you master some activity. A great pianist trusts his or her fingers - because they move quicker than conscious thought. Hypnosis appeals to your unconscious mind; the part of you which will become expert at speed typing.
Next, try to refrain from using the mouse as much as possible. This is especially true for slower typists who are looking to gain in speed. When typing a sentence and you notice a mistake, instead of using the mouse to reposition the cursor and correct it, use the arrow keys to move the cursor back manually, and then correct your mistake. In addition to this, you can make use of keyboard shortcuts that are found in almost all software applications. Keyboard shortcuts are a combination of keys pressed at the same time that cause something to happen, for example you can save a file, open a file, change font size or almost anything else you could do with the mouse.
TypeSpeed is the fastest way to reach your full typing potential. You can use the 'exercises' to learn how to type, .or review the most efficient typing techniques available. If you ever want to know what your typing speed is, you can take the typing test, which will tell you how well you type.
Another popular keyboard layout is the DVORAK format. Named after its creator, the Dvorak keyboard is often credited as being faster to learn and more efficient than the standard QWERTY keyboard layout.

Computer Basic skills
When using computers, nearly everything you’ll do involves files in some way. Files of different types are created by different types of software programs and contain different types of information: text, images, web pages, etc. You’ll basically be creating, editing, moving, sending, or receiving files of one kind or another. Most software programs have similar menus, so once you learn to use files related to a specific program, such as a word-processor, you’ll have already mastered the basics of most programs regardless of the different types of files they’ll use.
To be successful in an online class, you should have the following technology skills—or be able to call on someone--like a close friend or family member—who can teach you.
Nearly everything with computers becomes much more fun once you get past the jittery basics. Patience and perseverance will see you through! Take lots of breaks, use the HELP buttons contained in most software programs as they offer step-by-step instructions for most everything you can think of. Talk to those who have been using computers for a while to benefit from their experience and advice.
I am comfortable using a computer. Keyboarding is easy for me, and I am usually accurate. I know how to print documents from my computer. I know how to use the Internet. I know what a URL is. I know how to use a search engine. I know how to make a bookmark (or “favorite”). I am comfortable using email. I know how to make an email attachment. I know how to save an email attachment to my hard drive.

Neural Networks
It is difficult to find out which neurons should be connected to which. This is the problem of determining the neural network structure. Further, the interconnections in the brain are constantly changing. The initial interconnections seem to be largely governed by genetic factors. The weights on the edges and thresholds in the nodes are constantly changing. This problem has been the subject of much research and has been solved to a large extent. The approach has been as follows .
Given some input, if the neural network makes an error, then it can be determined exactly which neurons were active before the error. Then we can change the weights and thresholds appropriately to reduce this error. For this approach to work, the neural network must "know" that it has made a mistake. In real life, the mistake usually becomes obvious only after a long time. This situation is more difficult to handle since we may not know which input led to the error.
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is an information processing paradigm that is inspired by the way biological nervous systems, such as the brain, process information. The key element of this paradigm is the novel structure of the information processing system. It is composed of a large number of highly interconnected processing elements (neurones) working in unison to solve specific problems. ANNs, like people, learn by example. An ANN is configured for a specific application, such as pattern recognition or data classification, through a learning process.
Neural networks, with their remarkable ability to derive meaning from complicated or imprecise data, can be used to extract patterns and detect trends that are too complex to be noticed by either humans or other computer techniques. A trained neural network can be thought of as an "expert" in the category of information it has been given to analyse.

Data Structures
A data structure is a group of data elements grouped together under one name. These data elements, known as members, can have different types and different lengths. Data structures are declared in C++ use. The larger picture to be seen from all of this is that data structures are just another set of tools that should be in the kit of a seasoned programmer. Comprehensive libraries and frameworks available with most languages nowadays preempt the need for a full understanding of how to implement each of these tools. The result is that developers are able to quickly produce quality solutions that take advantage of powerful ideas. The challenge lies in knowing which one to select.
A real world example of a priority queue might be waiting to board an airplane. Individuals arriving at their gate earlier will tend to sit closest to the door, so that they can get in line as soon as they are called. However, those individuals with a "gold card", or who travel first class, will always be called first, regardless of when they actually arrived.
The library contains a two-dimensional and three-dimensional array. They are both implemented by a single linear array rather than nested arrays. This is the fastest method in flash to simulate multi-dimensional arrays and outperforms the nested array method because multiple array lookups are slower compared to one lookup combined with a simple arithmetic expression (which you can also often precompute in the outer loop). The most obvious application would be a tilemap in 2d or a layered tilemap in 3d.The beauty of the relational model is its simplicity of structure. Its fundamental property is that all information about the entities and their attributes as well as the relationships is presented to the user as tables (called relations) and nothing but tables. The rows of the tables may be considered records and the columns as fields. Each row therefore consists of an entity occurrence or a relationship occurrence

. Data Bus
An instruction bus is a specialized data bus for fetching instructions from memory. The very first computers had separate storage areas for data and programs (instructions) A processor bus is a bus inside the processor. Some processor designs simplify the internal structure by having one or two processor buses. A system bus connects the main processor with its primary support components, in particular connecting the processor to its memory. Depending on the computer, a system bus may also have other major components connected.
A data bus carries data. Most processors have internal data buses that carry information inside the processor and external data buses that carry information back and forth between the processor and memory.The IT infrastructure in a casino enterprise may be comprised of several “main” data buses that supply interconnections between endpoints related to the specific business unit associated with that “main” bus. For example the hotel/motel communications “main” bus supports communications between the clients and servers involved in operating the hotel/motel portion of the casino enterprise.
Depending on the bus type, either data rate or throughput is given in the second column. Clocked buses are shown with the clock rate [as data rate], while buses that allow hand shaking are listed with through-put, bits/bytes per second as the data rate ['b'= bits, 'B'= Bytes]. Many of the serial buses are in Baud-rate. The data rate numbers will normally be best case; requiring shortest cable distance, no wait states, optimal communication between devices and so on.
If you look at the bottom of a motherboard you'll see a whole network of lines or electronic pathways that join the different components together. These electronic pathways are nothing more than tiny wires that carry information, data and different signals throughout the computer between the different components. This network of wires or electronic pathways is called the 'Bus'.

During Rashtrakutas rule, the Chalukyas were a minor power. For 200 years, they survived the Rashtrakutas. In 973 AD Tailap Chalukya of the Kalyani branch gained power and restored the Chalukyan rule. They gained supremacy for about 200 years to be partitioned into: Yadavs of Deogiri, Kaktiyas of Warangal and Hoysalas of Belur.
Under his reign Buddhism spread to Syria, Egypt, Macedonia, Central Asia, Burma. For propagation of Buddhism, he started inscribing edicts on rocks and pillars at places where people could easily read them. These pillars and rocks are still found in India, spreading their message of love and peace for the last two thousand years. To his ideas he gave the name Dharma.
There were many causes for Muslim conquest but the major reason was the spread of Islam. The Muslim dominated Kabul, the Punjab, and Sind, before intruding in to India. The wealth in India lured the Muslim rulers. Further the inter-rivalry between the kingdoms in India paved the way for their entry in to India.
The imposition of Jizya on the Hindus in 1679, which was an anti Hindu policy, resulted in the rise of the Rajput in a revolt in 1769. This struggle continued till 1681 when Aurangzeb made peace with the Rajputs. The other sect affected by the Anti-Hindu policy of Aurangzeb was the Satnamis.
During the Civil War, women's suffrage was eclipsed by the war effort and movement for the abolition of slavery. While annual conventions were held on a regular basis, there was much discussion but little action. Activists such as slave-born Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony lectured and petitioned the government for the emancipation of slaves with the belief that, once the war was over, women and slaves alike would be granted the same rights as the white men.
