    Know and Understand Centrifugal Pumps

    41CGZ2DP3KL._SS500_.jpg


    Book Description
    Pumps are commonly encountered in industry and are essential to the smooth running of many industrial complexes. Mechanical engineers entering industry often have little practical experience of pumps and their problems, and need to build up an understanding of the design, operation and appropriate use of pumps, plus how to diagnose faults and put them right. This book tackles all these aspects in a readable manner, drawing on the authors' long experience of lecturing and writing on centrifugal pumps for industrial audiences.

    Book Info
    Text overviews centrifugal pumps and explains how they work, why they work, why and how they go wrong, and what to do about it. For graduate engineers and maintenance engineers.

    Introduction to Java and Software Design: Swing Update

    51TBFBPSXBL._SS500_.jpg


    Book Description
    Introduction to Java and Software Design breaks the current paradigms for teaching Java and object-oriented programming in a first year programming course. The Dale author team has developed a unique way of teaching object-oriented programming. They foster sound object-oriented design by teaching students how to brainstorm, use filtering scenarios, CRC cards, and responsibility algorithms. The authors also present functional design as a way of writing algorithms for the class responsibilities that are assigned in the object-oriented design.

    Glimpses of Algebra and Geometry

    51EQ6GTWB2L._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-dp-500-arrow,TopRight,45,-64_OU01_AA240_SH20_.jpg


    Review

    From the reviews of the second edition:

    "Toth’s ‘Glimpses’ offer selected material that connect algebra and geometry … . This second edition is a revised and substantially expanded version, so for example it includes a detailed treatment of the solution of the cubic and quartic, as well as a long new chapter on Klein’s famous work on the quintic and the icosahedron." (Günter M. Ziegler, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1027, 2004)

    "The book is intended – and really manages it – to fill undergraduates with enthusiasm to reach the graduate level. … the author presents various topics of number theory, geometry and algebra and at the same time shows their connection resp. interplay, thus making the study lively and fascinating for the reader. … information on advanced websites and films show how carefully the author has done his job. So this second edition hopefully will not be the last one." (G. Kowol, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 141 (2), 2004)

    "The text covers a wide range of topics and gives a taste of advanced material in number theory, geometry and algebra, particularly where these fields overlap. … there are plenty of references for the interested reader who wishes to pursue a particular topic in greater depth. … the accessibility of the format and the flow of the material combine to create an entertaining and informative work. I recommend the text as a good read for mathematicians of all specialities. " (Stephen Lucas, The Australian Mathematical Society Gazette, Vol. 30 (4), 2003)

    "This is the second, much revised and augmented edition of the book originally published in 1998. It intends to close the gap between undergraduate and graduate studies in number theory, classical geometry and modern algebra. … Each of the chapters is a good read and the book adds up to a wholly appealing entity. … It can be warmly recommended … . I can well imagine that teachers … as well as scientists … will benefit from this carefully worked-out textbook." (J. Lang, Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten, Vol. 57 (192), 2003)


    Book Description
    The purpose of Glimpses of Algebra and Geometry is to fill a gap between undergraduate and graduate mathematics studies. It is one of the few undergraduate texts to explore the subtle and sometimes puzzling connections between number theory, classical geometry and modern algebra in a clear and easily understandable style. Over 160 computer-generated images, accessible to readers via the World Wide Web, facilitate an understanding of mathematical concepts and proofs even further.

    GPRS Networks

    41GC3B85XVL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-dp-500-arrow,TopRight,45,-64_OU01_AA240_SH20_.jpg


    Book Description
    GPRS is a packet based wireless communication service that offers data rates from 9.05 up to 171.2 Kbps and continuous connection to the Internet for mobile phone and computer users. GPRS is based on GSM communications and complements existing services such as circuit switched cellular phone connections and the Short Message Service (SMS).
    GPRS represents the bridge between 2G and 3G mobile telecommunications and is commonly referred to as 2.5G.

    Implementation of GPRS requires modification of the existing GSM networks in that GSM is a circuit switched technology while GPRS is packet oriented. GPRS enables packet data (the same as is used by an Ethernet LAN, WAN or the Internet) to be sent to and from a mobile station - e.g. mobile phone, PDA or Laptop.

    WAP and SMS can also be sent using GPRS and individuals working with GPRS need to learn and understand how the mobile stations, the air interface, network architecture, protocol structures and signalling procedures must be modified.
    GPRS offers much higher data rates than GSM and can be combined with 3G technologies such as EDGE to give even higher bit-rates. It offers many benefits for customers and network operators: such as volume (rather then time) dependent billing and more efficient use of network resources.

    Due to the worldwide delay in implementing 3G solutions such as CDMA and UMTS the demand for GPRS is still growing.

    GPRS Networks:

    * Offers detailed information ranging from standards to practical implementation
    * Answers 'how' and 'why' rather than just simply re-stating GPRS specifications
    * Provides comprehensive coverage in a single volume

    Essential reading for all telecommunications project managers, field engineers, technical staff in network operator and manufacturing organisations, GPRS application and service developers, Datacoms/IT engineers.
    The comprehensive coverage also makes this a superb reference for students of computer science, telecommunications and electrical engineering.
