Book Description
The purpose of this book is to provide readers with an introduction to the very active field of integer programming and network models. The idea is to cover the main parts of the field without being too detailed or too technical. As a matter of fact, we found it somewhat surprising that most--especially newer---books are strongly algorithmically oriented. In contrast, the main emphasis of this book is on models rather than methods. This focus expresses our view that methods are tools to solve actual problems and not ends in themselves. As such, graduate (and with some omissions, undergraduate) students may find this book helpful in their studies as will practitioners who would like to get acquainted with a field or use this text as a refresher. This premise has resulted in a coverage that omits material that is standard fare in other books, whereas it covers topics that are only infrequently found elsewhere. There are some, yet relatively few, prerequisites for the reader. Most material that is required for the understanding of more than one chapter is presented in one of the four chapters of the introductory part, which reviews the main results in linear programming, the analysis of algorithms, graphs and networks, and dynamic programming, respectively. Readers who are familiar with the issues involved can safely skip that part. The three main parts of the book rely on intuitive reasoning and examples, whenever practical, instead of theorems and proofs.

Book Description
A family finds two abandoned duck eggs and are in for a big (and very cute) surprise in this story that is reminiscent of LeUyen Pham's Outside Inside, from award-winning author Elana K. Arnold and charmingly illustrated by Doug Salati. Once, when we all had to stay home for the whole long springtime, When schools were closed And work was closed And everything fun was canceled After we were all so bored of TV And computers And video games And screens of every kind Dad said, “Let’s take a walk.” On this walk, the family discovers two abandoned duck eggs and takes them home to wait for them to hatch. They read and learn and laugh together until one day... Pip and Zip are born! This spirited, comforting story of family, love, and ducks will stay with you for years to come.

ISBN: 1593278985
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 792
Book Description
This highly anticipated print collection gathers articles published in the much-loved International Journal of Proof-of-Concept or Get The Fuck Out. PoC||GTFO follows in the tradition of Phrack and Uninformed by publishing on the subjects of offensive security research, reverse engineering, and file format internals. Until now, the journal has only been available online or printed and distributed for free at hacker conferences worldwide. Consistent with the journal's quirky, biblical style, this book comes with all the trimmings: a leatherette cover, ribbon bookmark, bible paper, and gilt-edged pages. The book features more than 80 technical essays from numerous famous hackers, authors of classics like "Reliable Code Execution on a Tamagotchi," "ELFs are Dorky, Elves are Cool," "Burning a Phone," "Forget Not the Humble Timing Attack," and "A Sermon on Hacker Privilege." Twenty-four full-color pages by Ange Albertini illustrate many of the clever tricks described in the text.

Internet of Things with Python
Author: Gaston C. Hillar
Publisher: Packt Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1785885316
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Interact with the world and rapidly prototype IoT applications using Python About This Book Rapidly prototype even complex IoT applications with Python and put them to practical use Enhance your IoT skills with the most up-to-date applicability in the field of wearable tech, smart environments, and home automation Interact with hardware, sensors, and actuators and control your DIY IoT projects through Python Who This Book Is For The book is ideal for Python developers who want to explore the tools in the Python ecosystem in order to build their own IoT applications and work on IoT-related projects. It is also a very useful resource for developers with experience in other programming languages that want to easily prototype IoT applications with the Intel Galileo Gen 2 board. What You Will Learn Prototype and develop IoT solutions from scratch with Python as the programming language Develop IoT projects with Intel Galileo Gen 2 board along with Python Work with the different components included in the boards using Python and the MRAA library Interact with sensors, actuators, and shields Work with UART and local storage Interact with any electronic device that supports the I2C bus Allow mobile devices to interact with the board Work with real-time IoT and cloud services Understand Big Data and IoT analytics In Detail Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way devices/things interact with each other. And when you have IoT with Python on your side, you'll be able to build interactive objects and design them. This book lets you stay at the forefront of cutting-edge research on IoT. We'll open up the possibilities using tools that enable you to interact with the world, such as Intel Galileo Gen 2, sensors, and other hardware. You will learn how to read, write, and convert digital values to generate analog output by programming Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in Python. You will get familiar with the complex communication system included in the board, so you can interact with any shield, actuator, or sensor. Later on, you will not only see how to work with data received from the sensors, but also perform actions by sending them to a specific shield. You'll be able to connect your IoT device to the entire world, by integrating WiFi, Bluetooth, and Internet settings. With everything ready, you will see how to work in real time on your IoT device using the MQTT protocol in python. By the end of the book, you will be able to develop IoT prototypes with Python, libraries, and tools. Style and approach This book takes a tutorial-like approach with mission critical chapters. The initial chapters are introductions that set the premise for useful examples covered in later chapters.
