In this monograph, the authors propose a systematic and rigorous treatment of electromagnetic field representations in complex structures. The architecture suggested in this book accommodates use of different numerical methods as well as alternative Green's function representations in each of the subdomains resulting from a partitioning of the overall problem. The subdomains are regions of space where electromagnetic energy is stored and are described in terms of equivalent circuit representations based either on lumped element circuits or on transmission lines. Connection networks connect the subcircuits representing the subdomains. The connection networks are lossless, don't store energy and represent the overall problem topology. This is similar to what is done in circuit theory and permits a phrasing of the solution of EM field problems in complex structures by Network-oriented methods.

This Handbook is a complete guide to preparing a wide variety of specimens for the scanning electron microscope and x-ray microanalyzer. Specimens range from inorganic, organic, biological, and geological samples to materials such as metals, polymers, and semiconductors which can exist as solids, liquids, and gases. While the Handbook complements the best-selling textbook, Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Microanalysis, Third Edition, by Goldstein, et al., it is entirely self-contained and describes what is needed up to the point the sample is put into the instrument. Photomicrographs of each specimen complement the many sample preparation �recipes�. Additional chapters describe the general features of specimen preparation in relation to the different needs of scanning electron microscopes and x-ray microanalyzers, and an appendix covers chemicals and equipment applicable to any of the recipes. This authoritative yet practical Handbook is an essential reference for anyone who uses these instruments, and assumes only an elementary knowledge of preparation techniques to guide the reader through the specific protocols.

A principal objective of control engineering is to design control systems which are robust with respect to external disturbances and modelling uncertainty. This objective may be well achieved using the sliding mode technique - which is the main subject of this monograph. More precisely, �Time-Varying Sliding Modes for Second and Third Order Systems� focuses on only one, but very important aspect of the sliding mode system design, i.e. the problem of the sliding plane selection. In this self-contained monograph, the main notions and concepts used in the field of variable structure systems and sliding mode control are presented before in the main part the issue of the switching surface design is discussed. This is done by considering two standard plants, which are very often encountered in the control engineering practice: the second and the third order nonlinear and possibly time-varying systems.

The authoritative guide to SysML, the new global language of 350k+ systems engineers.

Product Description
Systems engineers and architects must understand how all the parts of a system work together to satisfy its requirements. SysML is a general purpose graphical modeling language used to specify, analyze, and design systems that may include hardware, software, and personnel. It allows engineers to describe how a system interacts with its environment, and how its parts must interact to achieve the desired system behavior and performance. The SysML model provides a shared view of the system, enabling a design team to surface issues early and prevent problems that would otherwise delay development and degrade design quality. Since SysML is based on UML, it also facilitates integration between systems and software development. SysML is now being adopted by companies across a broad range of industry, including Aerospace and Defense, Automotive, and IT System Developers.

This book provides a comprehensive and practical guide for modeling systems with SysML. It includes a full description of the language along with a quick reference guide, and shows how the language can be applied to specify, analyze, and design systems. It contains examples to help readers understand how SysML can be used in practice. The book also includes guidance on how an organization or project can transition to model based systems engineering using SysML, with considerations for processes, methods, tools, and training.

Knowledge Cartography is the discipline of mapping intellectual landscapes.
The focus of this book is on the process by which manually crafting interactive, hypertextual maps clarifies one�s own understanding, as well as communicating it.
The authors see mapping software as a set of visual tools for reading and writing in a networked age. In an information ocean, the primary challenge is to find meaningful patterns around which we can weave plausible narratives. Maps of concepts, discussions and arguments make the connections between ideas tangible and disputable.
With 17 chapters from the leading researchers and practitioners, the reader will find the current state�of-the-art in the field. Part 1 focuses on educational applications in schools and universities, before Part 2 turns to applications in professional communities, but with many cross-cutting themes:
� conceptual frameworks for understanding knowledge cartography
� visual languages, many of which work on both paper and with software
� specialist software, much of it freely available and open source
� case studies reflecting on successes and failures
� ways in which maps can be used both effectively and ineffectively
� examples of how to evaluate maps
� visit the website for updates on the field, and extra resources for each chapter:

We apologize for the slight downtime required to implement this change. We appreciate your patience.

Dear Friend,

We are proud to announce, that as a result of a successful collaboration between DirectTV (television network), Re/Max (world's largest real estate agency), Liberty Reserve (your favorite payment system) and Setanta Sports (very popular sports channel), Mërge movie project was born and is being presented by Chameleon Entertainment. The script that will win this competition will be made into a full featured movie that will be presented in major countries on TV and PPV.
We are proud to be one of the general sponsors of this project, and truly hope that our collaboration will restore the cultural bridge between the continents.

Chameleon Branded Entertainment, has announced the launch of Mërge, an international script-to-screen competition, dedicated to highlighting multicultural experiences in the ever converging global environment. The contest’s goal is to bring accounts of international and multicultural stories to the forefront of mainstream international audiences. Mërge 2009 focuses on the Russian multicultural experience.

More information about initial press release is here and here.

Our representative has attended the grand opening party on March 6th. More information will soon become available on our flickr and youtube pages.

More exciting updates are coming shortly.

For those of you who may have seen some bizarre and ridiculous rumors about our system having any security instances - please be aware that those ARE in fact rumors.

Our members were a target of many recent phishing attacks that resulted in some of them clicking on malicious links in e-mail or visiting a malicious web site to provide or update any account information, against our numerous warnings. Once your login information is compromised, malicious users can have full access to your account and to its' features, including adding and using API. This has nothing to do with the security of API, as all actions are taken from within a user's account. Please be aware that Liberty Reserve will NEVER send out any confirmation, validation or any other e-mail or link to any of its' account holders.

The best way to remain secure is to educate yourself, install the latest anti-virus software (and keep it updated), install the plug in Liberty Guard, that will help you avoid many phishing web sites. Still NEVER click on any links. One more thing that would help is to check your account information, to make sure it stays current and to update passwords to your on-line banking, e-mails and other places where you have an on-line account at least once every few months. Use different passwords for each and everyone of them.

As for the security of Liberty Reserve, you can rely on many years of experience and on reputation that Liberty Reserve, McAfee, Prolexic, Cisco and many other "best of the best" companies that Liberty Reserve has assembled around its' company to make sure that security of your account will not only be on par but exceed most on-line banks. Liberty Reserve - experience you can count on, safety you can rely on, financial fortress you can feel safe in.


Exchangers update:

Please note that we no longer authorize the following exchangers to conduct any business with Liberty Reserve due to trust, fraud, numerous unanswered complaints, and other concerns:
w-777.com, wmoney.in.ua, trainexservice.com or any other businesses associated with them.
If you will see those web sites still operating with Liberty Reserve, they are doing so in violation of our Terms of Service and your Liberty Reserve funds may be at risk with them.

Dear friends,

The web site should be becoming available in certain regions at first and slowly for everyone else. We could not apologize enough for the extended delay. But Liberty Reserve has always chosen privacy, security and safety as issues of primary concern. Please, as always, rest assured that Liberty Reserve remains the safest place to conduct your financial transactions, and while outages are hard to forecast, we would like to assure you that everything will be done in our power to minimize those to the bare necessary minimum. Including adding two mirrors (that are being implemented now).

Please note that the ONLY OFFICIAL source of information regarding the status of our system is this blog and not any other forum or a newsletter or an e-mail. You may be introduced to some quite bizarre rumors during this outage and false information that was cooked up by an unfriendly and dishonorable competitors but as always, Liberty Reserve will lead the way and is not going anywhere for many years to come.
We have committed ourselves to offer the best service - and we will.

We appreciate your understanding and your continued support.
