Download or read book The Orchid Book written by J. Cullen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-11-12 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich and often bizarre variety of form exhibited by orchids has long provided a fascination for amateur and professional botanists alike. Once seen as a hobby exclusively for the rich, the cultivation of orchids is now widespread and the need for an accurate and simple guide to the identification of species in cultivation has become apparent. This book aims to fulfill that need by providing botanically correct, yet easily accessible information about this unique and exceptionally diverse group of plants. The main part of the book is based on the text of the family Orchidaceae published in the second volume of The European Garden Flora, with the information fully updated and displayed in a revised format. Simple keys to the genera and to the species allow access to descriptions of 900 individual species which also include references to published illustrations and other useful information. Numerous line drawings of diagnostic features help to make the keys and descriptions easy to understand and use. A brief introduction covers the structural features of orchids important in identification, and gives some information on cultivation and a list of general references.
Download or read book Host Identity Protocol HIP written by Andrei Gurtov and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Within the set of many identifier-locator separation designs for the Internet, HIP has progressed further than anything else we have so far. It is time to see what HIP can do in larger scale in the real world. In order to make that happen, the world needs a HIP book, and now we have it.” - Jari Arkko, Internet Area Director, IETF One of the challenges facing the current Internet architecture is the incorporation of mobile and multi-homed terminals (hosts), and an overall lack of protection against Denial-of-Service attacks and identity spoofing. The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is being developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an integrated solution to these problems. The book presents a well-structured, readable and compact overview of the core protocol with relevant extensions to the Internet architecture and infrastructure. The covered topics include the Bound End-to-End Tunnel Mode for IPsec, Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash Identifiers, extensions to the Domain Name System, IPv4 and IPv6 interoperability, integration with SIP, and support for legacy applications. Unique features of the book: All-in-one source for HIP specifications Complete coverage of HIP architecture and protocols Base exchange, mobility and multihoming extensions Practical snapshots of protocol operation IP security on lightweight devices Traversal of middleboxes, such as NATs and firewalls Name resolution infrastructure Micromobility, multicast, privacy extensions Chapter on applications, including HIP pilot deployment in a Boeing factory HOWTO for HIP on Linux (HIPL) implementation An important compliment to the official IETF specifications, this book will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers in equipment manufacturing companies and telecom operators, as well as network managers, network engineers, network operators and telecom engineers. Advanced students and academics, IT managers, professionals and operating system specialists will also find this book of interest.

Download or read book Classification Made Relevant written by Jules J. Berman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classification Made Relevant: How Scientists Build and Use Classifications and Ontologies explains how classifications and ontologies are designed and used to analyze scientific information. The book presents the fundamentals of classification, leading up to a description of how computer scientists use object-oriented programming languages to model classifications and ontologies. Numerous examples are chosen from the Classification of Life, the Periodic Table of the Elements, and the symmetry relationships contained within the Classification Theorem of Finite Simple Groups. When these three classifications are tied together, they provide a relational hierarchy connecting all of the natural sciences. The book's chapters introduce and describe general concepts that can be understood by any intelligent reader. With each new concept, they follow practical examples selected from various scientific disciplines. In these cases, technical points and specialized vocabulary are linked to glossary items where the item is clarified and expanded. - Explains the theory and practice of classification, emphasizing the importance of classifications and ontologies to the modern fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine - Includes numerous real-world examples that demonstrate how bad construction technique can destroy the value of classifications and ontologies - Explains how we define and understand the relationships among the classes within a classification and how the properties of a class are inherited by its subclasses - Describes ontologies and how they differ from classifications and explains conditions under which ontologies are useful

Download or read book Wine Me Dine Me Dance Me Romance Me written by Gene Hewett Ph.D. and published by Author House. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wine Me, Dine Me, Dance Me, Romance Me, reads like an evolving collage of romantic experiences framed in poetic style. In many ways, the collection represents an autobiographical sketch in romance. It begins by providing snapshots of the authors early relationships, evolves to romantic accounts as viewed through the eyes of a fictional son, and concludes with romantic descriptions provided by that sons daughter. The collection has a traditional table of contents, a second one titled, Musical Inspiration, and a third titled, Photographic Images. The second table of contents illustrates the authors desire to match specific majority rhythm and blues songs such as Aint No Way, to each poem. In the short run, the author envisions that the collection will be made available (a) in electronic form, (b) as a paperback, and (c) for hardcover distribution. In addition, owing to the musical theme, the author anticipates that the collection can be presented in audio book form. In the long run, the author anticipates that it may be possible to package the collection in a stage production format (complete with a speaker, background music, and Power Point imageswith optional dance choreography). The third table of contents shows the authors ability to enhance the spirit and mood of each poem by linking them to a digital image obtained from the corbisimage.com website. The majority of the digital images were based upon floral themes such as Close-Up View of a Pink Rose, and landscape themes such as Wildflowers at Malibu Beach. Several digital image selections such as Glass of Wine with Cork and Rosebuds, departed from the floral/landscape pattern in order to further highlight a unique mood.
