JAVA PROGRAMMING, Sixth Edition provides the beginning programmer with a guide to developing applications using the Java programming language. Java is popular among professional programmers because it can be used to build visually interesting GUI and Web-based applications.

The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) defines a new standard in enterprise solutions through a simplified, component-based development model. By extending the “write-once, run-anywhere benefits of the Java programming language to enterprise servers, J2EE adds the scalability, robustness, and security required for today’s vital e-commerce and enterprise solutions. The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition: Platform and Components Specifications defines the architecture for developing applications with J2EE.

Book Description In a highly accessible and unintimidating fashion, this book bridges the gap between conceptual understanding and actual application while strongly emphasizing the development of problem-solving skills. All aspects of spectroscopy have been updated and enhanced, relevant photographs have been added, and many applications to polymer chemistry have been integrated throughout. Increased focus on and discussions of thiols and sulfides, stereochemistry, and mechanisms. More biological applications throughout.

This masterly collection of texts interrogates the raging academic question, What is art history? Editor Preziosi, who directs ground-breaking critical studies of art history and museology, provides introductions to 35 challenging readings gathered in nine chapters. This plethora of alternatives is curiously complicated, even obfuscating.

Covered here are the most current and relevant approaches to aesthetics, style, iconography and semiology, feminism, gender studies, formalism, postmodernism, deconstruction, museography, hybridity, and multiculturalism; those offering critical analysis range from Winckelmann, Kant, Wolfflin, Panofsky, Schapiro, Gombrich, and Derrida to Rosalind Krauss and Carol Duncan. Ultimately, this book is best suited to upper- and graduate-level collections and to the reference shelf of specialized art collections, as it proposes the discipline of art history itself as an art.AMary Hamel-Schwulst, Towson Univ., MD

Web Content Delivery (Web Information Systems Engineering and Internet Technologies Book Series): Xueyan Tang, Jianliang Xu, Samuel T. Chanson (Editors)
Springer | ISBN: 0387243569 | 2005-08-16 | PDF (OCR) | 394 pages | 36.2 Mb
The concept of content delivery has become increasingly more important due to rapidly growing demands for efficient distribution and fast access of information from the Internet. The content can be diverse and broad-ranging, and the desire to facilitate ubiquitous information access demands varied network architectures and hardware devices.

The need to deliver quality information – given the nature of the content, network connections and client devices – introduces various challenges for content delivery technologies. Web Content Delivery offers the most comprehensive coverage of state-of-the-art research, providing insightful and thought-provoking possibilities for the future of web applications. Written by leading international researchers, the book focuses on web content delivery, dynamic web content, streaming media delivery and ubiquitous web access. Web Content Delivery is an essential reference for both academic researchers and industrial practitioners.

Modeling, rendering, and animating realistic machines with Blender 3D
Walk through the complete process of building amazing machines
Model and create mechanical models and vehicles with detailed designs
Add advanced global illumination options to the renders created in Blender 3D using YafaRay and LuxRender
Create machines such as a handgun, a steam punk spacecraft, and a transforming robot

In Detail
Blender 3D provides all the features you need to create super-realistic 3D models of machines for use in artwork, movies, and computer games. Blender 3D 2.49 Incredible Machines gives you step-by-step instructions for building weapons, vehicles, robots, and more.

This book will show you how to use Blender 3D for mechanical modeling and product visualization. Through the pages of the book, you will find a step-by-step guide to create three different projects: a fantasy weapon, a spacecraft, and a giant robot. Even though these machines are not realistic, you will be able to build your own sensible and incredible machines with the techniques that you will learn in this book along with the exercises and examples.

All the three sections of this book, which cover three projects, are planned to have an increasing learning curve. The first project is about a hand weapon, and with that we can image a small-sized object with tiny details. This first part of the book will show you how to deal with these details and model them in Blender 3D.

In the second project, we will create a spacecraft, adding a bit of scale to the project, and new materials and textures as well. With this project, we will be working with metal, glass, and other elements that make the spacecraft. Along with the object, a new space environment will be created in the book too.

At the end we have a big and complex object, which is the transforming robot. This last part of the book will cover the modeling of two objects and show how you can make one transform into the other. The scale and number of objects in this project are quite big, but the same principles as in the other projects are applied here with a step-by-step guide on how to go through the workflow of the project.

What you will learn from this book?
Learn the tools and options to use YafaRay to render your images
Arrange a three-point light system, which produces light for renderings where a single object is the main focus of the image
Create a steam punk spacecraft with minute detailing and more UV Mapping techniques to add extra realism to the model
Use Edge Modeling to create, place, and shape different sections and then connect them together to create a base model
Produce cables and wires by using a combination of curves and surfaces
Make use of textures to generate shadows and the impression of depth in models
Make an object look old by adding dust to its texture
Use, set up, and create combustion flares with particles in Blender 3D
Set up composite nodes, and create glare and glow effects with them
Create a photorealistic space environment for the spacecraft with stars and planets using vertices and Halo materials, and add textures to them
Create a curve, and make any type of object use this curve as a path for animation in Blender
Construct an amazing robot that can change its shape and transform itself into a military vehicle
