Learn about advanced features to use in building a robust, high-availability replication system. Provided are detailed illustration of Oracle GoldenGate concepts, GoldenGate tools and add-ons, as well as illustrative examples. The book covers Oracle GoldenGate for Oracle database, and also discusses setup and configuration for other common databases such as IBM DB2, SYBASE ASE, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL Server.

Design of Artificial Human Joints & Organs is intended to present the basics of the normal systems and how, due to aging, diseases or trauma, body parts may need to be replaced with manmade materials. The movement of the body generates forces in various work situations and also internally at various joints, muscles and ligaments. It is essential to figure out the forces, moments, pressure etc to design replacements that manage these stresses without breaking down. The mechanical characterization of the hard and the soft tissues are presented systematically using the principles of solid mechanics. The viscoelastic properties of the tissue will also discussed. This text covers the design science and methodology from concept to blueprint to the final component being replaced. Each chapter will be a brief overview of various joint/organ replacement systems.

This textbook presents for the first time in one text the concepts and processes covered in statics and mechanics of materials curricula following a systematic, topically integrated approach. Since the turn of the millennium, it has become common in engineering schools to combine the traditional undergraduate offerings in rigid-body statics (usually called “statics”) and deformable body mechanics (known traditionally as “strength of materials” or, more recently, “mechanics of materials”) into a single, introductory course in solid mechanics.

Minimally invasive surgery has become the standard treatment for many diseases and conditions. In the last decade, numerous studies have demonstrated that laparoscopic approaches have improved patients’ quality of life if compared with standard open procedures. Atlas of Single-Port, Laparoscopic, and Robotic Surgery serves as a guide in single-port, standard laparoscopy, and robotic surgery and shows how novel techniques, such as single-port laparoscopy and robotics, have recently evolved. The atlas illustrates the unique challenges that the new single-port surgery modality presents, including instruments crowding and articulation, and the advanced laparoscopic skills required to perform these procedures, such as the ability to move and control a flexible camera.

This self-tutorial offers a concise yet thorough introduction into the mathematical analysis of approximation methods for partial differential equation. A particular emphasis is put on finite element methods.

This volume focuses on the ethical significance of human rights, aiming at contributing to a universal culture of human rights with deep roots and wide horizons. Its purpose, scope and rationale are reflected in the three-part structure of the manuscript. Part I has a broad introductory historical, theoretical and legal character.

Wo bin ich? Wo soll ich hin? Wie komme ich dahin? Mobile Roboter in Alltagsumgebungen wie in Büros oder auf Straßen müssen ständig solche Fragen beantworten, sollen sie autonom, also ohne Fernsteuerung operieren. Die Berechnungen im Robotersteuerungsprogramm beruhen wesentlich auf Sensordaten aus der Umgebung, die oft unvollständig oder fehlerhaft sind.

As a result of significant research over the past 20 years, black holes are now linked to some of the most spectacular and exciting phenomena in the Universe, ranging in size from those that have the same mass as stars to the super-massive objects that lie at the heart of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way. This book first introduces the properties of simple isolated holes, then adds in complications like rotation, accretion, radiation, and magnetic fields, finally arriving at a basic understanding of how these immense engines work.

Das Handbuch schließt die Lücke an der Schnittstelle zwischen Produktentwicklung, Design, Engineering und Produktion. Es erleichtert die Kommunikation und Kooperation und will helfen, die Effizienz und Qualität von Entwicklungs- und Innovationsprozessen zu verbessern. Technische Grundlagen und Zusammenhänge werden für die gestaltenden Berufe und kreative Dienstleister umfassend aufbereitet und übergreifend vermittelt.

Die Arbeitsmethode nach Balint hat die Arzt-Patient-Beziehung im Focus. Treten Störungen in dieser Beziehung auf, so wirkt sich dies auf Diagnose und Therapie aus. In der Balintgruppe haben Ärzte aller Fachrichtungen sowie Psychotherapeuten, Sozialarbeiter u.ä. eine strukturierte Möglichkeit des Austausches. Mittlerweile arbeiten auch Pädagogen, in Pflegeberufen Tätige, Juristen und Seelsorger mit der Methode.

You probably already know that the Raspberry Pi is an excellent teaching tool. If you want to teach Linux basics or Python programming or basic electronics, it's a great place to start. But what if you are an electronics engineer or a Linux systems administrator or a very experienced maker? You want to know all of the details and inner working of the Raspberry Pi – how to (figuratively or maybe even literally) make it get up and dance without wading through basics and introductory material.

Mastering Modern European History traces the development of Europe from the French Revolution to the present day. Political, diplomatic and socio-economic strands are woven together and supported by a wide range of pictures, maps, graphs and questions. Documentary extracts are included throughout to encourage the reader to question the nature and value of various types of historical evidence.

Formerly known as Mastering Secretarial Procedures. New "Study Brand" reprint. This text has been designed with students in mind. It is based on the principle of 'learning by doing'. It concentrates on developing the essential knowledge, skills and competences required within the NVQ schemes for Business Administration Levels 1 and 2, as well as covering the criteria for most of the elementary/intermediate clerical duties and office skills courses. It provides a realistic approach to enable students to understand the different procedures and documentation they will meet in the various departments of business organisations. Comprehensive coverage is given to the many aspects of business from traditional office procedures to the latest electronic developments

The volume includes a set of selected papers extended and revised from the I2009 Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Software Engineering (KESE 2009) was held on December 19~ 20, 2009, Shenzhen, China.

Lena Daumanns's thesis describes structural and functional studies of the enzyme Glycerophosphodiesterase (GpdQ) from Enterobacter aerogenes. It also examines the properties of small mimics of this enzyme and related binuclear metallohydrolases such as the metallo-ß-lactamases to enhance our understanding of hydrolytic cleavage of important substrates like phosphoesters and β-lactams.
