Silent Warrior

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn 1986, Charles Henderson first published Marine Sniper -the incredible story of Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, whose 93 confirmed kills in Vietnam have never been matched by any sniper before or since. Now, the incredible story of a remarkable Marine continues-with harrowing, never-before-published accounts of courage and perseverance. These are the powerful stories of a man who rose to greatness not for personal gain or glory, but for duty and honor. A rare inside look at the U.S. Marine`s most challenging missions-and the one man who made military history.Download DescriptionIn the United States Marine Corps, the most dangerous job in combat is that of the sniper. With no backup and little communication with the outside world, these men disappeared for weeks on end in the wilderness with nothing but intellect and iron will to protect them--as they would watch, wait, and finally strike. But of all of the snipers who ever hunted human prey, one… [detailed...]

Silicon Alley: The Rise and Fall of a New Media District (Cultural Spaces)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The 1990s dawned with a belief that the digital revolution would radically transform our traditional notion of cities as places of commerce and industry. Many predicted that digital technology would render cities--or at least their economies--obsolete. Instead, precisely the opposite happened. The IT-intensive firms of the `new economy` needed to be plugged into a sizeable network of talent, something that established cities like New York and San Francisco provided in abundance. In addition to creating new types of jobs and luring thousands of workers back into the city, new media districts created a new technobohemian urban culture. With vignettes of the high-rollers in New York`s new media economy and stories of wild parties in downtown lofts, Michael Indergaard introduces us to the players in this new economy, and explores this intersection of commerce and culture in 1990s New York. He also reveals how the dot-com crash laid bare the hidden connections between the so-called new… [detailed...]

Silicon Photonics: An Introduction

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The growing demand for instant and reliable communication means that photonic circuits are increasingly finding applications in optical communications systems. One of the prime candidates to provide satisfactory performance at low cost in the photonic circuit is silicon.A Whilst silicon photonics is less well developed as compared to some other material technologies, it is poised to make a serious impact on the telecommunications industry, as well as in many other applications, as other technologies fail to meet the yield/performance/cost trade-offs. Following a sympathetic tutorial approach, this first book on silicon photonics provides a comprehensive overview of the technology. Silicon Photonics explains the concepts of the technology, taking the reader through the introductory principles, on to more complex building blocks of the optical circuit. Starting with the basics of waveguides and the properties peculiar to silicon, the book also features: Key… [detailed...]

Silicon Second Nature: Culturing Artificial Life in a Digital World

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Silicon Second Nature takes us on an expedition into an extraordinary world where nature is made of bits and bytes and life is born from sequences of zeroes and ones. Artificial Life is the brainchild of scientists who view self-replicating computer programs--such as computer viruses--as new forms of life. Anthropologist Stefan Helmreich`s look at the social and simulated worlds of Artificial Life--primarily at the Santa Fe Institute, a well- known center for studies in the sciences of complexity--introduces readers to the people and programs connected with this unusual hybrid of computer science and biology. When biology becomes an information science, when DNA is downloaded into virtual reality, new ways of imagining `life` become possible.Through detailed dissections of the artifacts of Artifical Life, Helmreich explores how these novel visions of life are recombining with the most traditional tales told by Western culture. Because Artificial Life scientists tend to… [detailed...]

Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information Highway

Publisher: —
Description: In Silicon Snake Oil , Clifford Stoll, the best-selling author of The Cuckoo`s Egg and one of the pioneers of the Internet, turns his attention to the much-heralded information highway, revealing that it is not all it`s cracked up to be. Yes, the Internet provides access to plenty of services, but useful information is virtually impossible to find and difficult to access. Is being on-line truly useful? `Few aspects of daily life require computers…They`re irrelevant to cooking, driving, visiting, negotiating, eating, hiking, dancing, speaking, and gossiping. You don`t need a computer to…recite a poem or say a prayer.` Computers can`t, Stoll claims, provide a richer or better life. A cautionary tale about today`s media darling, Silicon Snake Oil has sparked intense debate across the country about the merits--and foibles--of what`s been touted as the entranceway to our future.

There are no plants or animals in the cities, food grows only on orbiting satellites, and sex has been forgotten. All day long, day after day, humans process their burgeoning data via `PIFFEN meters` implanted in their brains. A worldwide bioelectronic net called the Neural Web links the tiny meters. But Kale Keeler--a 26 year-old, female Web reporter--has glimpsed the ways of the old-time. While attending arare physical briefing with Mr. Clyde Trivers, the CEO of the `Public Netgorks,` she notices that Trivers is different from everyone else. He does no data processing of his own. Most humans would be too busy with their Web-signals to give this a second thought, but Kale suffers from a `slowed metabolic rate.` She agrees to accept Trivers` odd assignment to investigate a Professor Walter Morgaux at Harvard University, which has been relegated to a rehab center for the most feeble… [detailed...]

Silicon and the State: French Innovation Policy in the Internet Age

Description: Book DescriptionIn the early 1990s, French officials viewed with some concern the emerging and innovative high-technology sectors of the U.S. and British marketplace. Fearful of falling too far behind, the French government implemented a vast array of policies?from tax incentives for investing in risky high-tech start-ups to new standards for electronic signatures?designed to promote the commercialization of new economy technologies in France. The efforts have turned French innovation policy onits head. Traditional government and bank-financed research and development were replaced by private venture capital. Professionals in France?s technical elite?long accustomed to a secure career track in prestigious laboratories and industrial conglomerates?began moving into risky entrepreneurial ventures. New technologies, once developed exclusively by France?s national champions of the marketplace, such as Ariane, Airbus, and Renault, began to be commercialized by… [detailed...]

Description: Silicon-on-Insulator Technology: Materials to VLSI, Third Edition , retraces the evolution of SOI materials, devices and circuits over a period of roughly twenty years. Twenty years of progress, research and development during which SOI material fabrication techniques have been born and abandoned, devices have been invented and forgotten, but, most importantly, twenty years during which SOI Technology has little by little proven it could outperform bulk silicon in every possible way. The turn of the century turned out to be a milestone for the semiconductor industry, as high-quality SOI wafers suddenly became available in large quantities. From then on, it took only a few years to witness the use of SOI technology in a wealth of applications ranging from audio amplifiers and wristwatches to 64-bit microprocessors. This book presents a complete and state-of-the-art review of SOI materials, devices and circuits. SOI fabrication and characterization techniques, SOI… [detailed...]

Remembering his childhood fascination with the Kazakh S.S.R. and its description in National Geographic as `the most remote place on earth,` Ted Rall proposed a reckless headlong plunge into the belly of post-Soviet Central Asia. `I`ll drive the Silk Road from Beijing to Istanbul,` Rall said, `via Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Turkey. I won`t do research. I`ll just show up and see what happens.` Five years after having been cut loose by the imploding Soviet Union the Central Asian republics?colloquially known as the Stans?were reeling from an identity crisis precipitated by economic collapse. Citizens of a great superpower woke up to find themselves in… [detailed...]

Silk Road, Silver Lining: Can Micro-lending in Central Asia Counteract Criminal Influence in the Financial Sector?

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book examines the business history of Central Asian micro-lenders, considered in the context of the region`s politics and crime. Distilled from an exhaustive compilation and adjustment of the industry`s financial statements, as well as extensive media and monitoring sources, the study reaches the following conclusions.Compared to state-run programs for which they directly substitute, micro-lenders have greatly reduced (yet still not made negligible) the corruption in credit services to Central Asia`s poor. Beyond this, microcredit`s crime-displacing potential in the region is limited by the industry`s modest scale and scope, as well as the authorities` perversity if they are ever needed for support. Central Asian micro-lenders should focus on implementing more secure, diversified, competitive and convenient services, particularly deposit-side services. These moves will strengthen the organizations in general and perhaps against criminal encroachment in particular. [detailed...]

The strike Mishima writes about occurred in the 1950s, and the outcome changed the face of business forever, as factories moved from an ancient, almost feudal way of dealing with workers to the modern method of worker participation. Mishima faithfully chronicles the conditions that plagued the factory workers--censored mail, internal spies, poor pay that was nevertheless just enough to keep discontent at bay--and the coalescence of the labor movement that eventually changed them.
