This book is about information technology (IT) infrastructure architecture. Infrastructure refers to all the hardware and system software components required to run IT applications. And infrastructure architecture describes the overall design and evolution of that infrastructure. This book explains how infrastructure components work at the architectural level. This means that components are described in building blocks that are tied to specific infrastructure technologies. IT infrastructure is the system of hardware, software, facilities and service components that support the delivery of business systems and IT-enabled processes.

McGuire gives students even more opportunities to practice and apply their knowledge in statistics and research methods. Written by the authors of Research Methods, Statistics, and Applications, t he third edition of the study guide follows the third edition of the textbook for straightforward assigning and practice. New features include practice quizzes to give students both recognition and recall activities for better retention. Learning objectives and brief chapter summaries from the main text remind students of what they′ve learned and orient students toward the exercises. In-depth exercises encourage students to build on their knowledge, requiring students to think critically and actively engage with the material. These exercises have been condensed and focus on moving students through the learning objectives at a quick pace. At the end of most chapters, "Your Research" sections encourage students to apply concepts to their own projects. Now placed at the end of book, the IBM SPSS workbook provides instructions for performing statistical calculations. Included in this workbook are additional exercises to practice data analysis and interpretation using the software.

Data management is an emerging and disruptive subject. Datafication is everywhere. This transformation is happening all around us: in smartphones, TV devices, ereaders, industrial machines, self-driving cars, robots, and so on. It’s changing our lives at an accelerating speed. As data management continues to evolve rapidly, managing all of your data in a central place, such as a data warehouse, is no longer scalable. Today's world is about quickly turning data into value. This requires a paradigm shift in the way we federate responsibilities, manage data, and make it available to others. With this practical book, you'll learn how to design a next-gen data architecture that takes into account the scale you need for your organization. Executives, architects and engineers, analytics teams, and compliance and governance staff will learn how to build a next-gen data landscape. Author Piethein Strengholt provides blueprints, principles, observations, best practices, and patterns to get you up to speed.

Processing information efficiently is critical to the successful operation of modern organizations. One particularly helpful tool is Microsoft Power Automate, a low-code/no-code development platform designed to help tech-savvy users create and implement workflows. This practical book explains how small business and enterprise users can use Power Automate to replace manual work that takes days with an automated process you can complete in a few hours. Welcome to this introduction on how to use Microsoft Power Automate to automate how complete tasks in your daily work life. You’re about to take your first steps on a journey that will change the way you handle information every day. But like all journeys we need to start at the beginning. That means we need to understand what Power Automate is and how it fits into the broader Microsoft ecosystem. Power Automate is a cloud-based application that can be used to create workflows.

The Windows 11 Field Guide is a full-length e-book about the latest version of Microsoft Windows, aimed at those users who will upgrade from Windows 10 or acquire Windows 11 with a new PC. Microsoft describes Windows 11 as being “fresh and familiar,” and while that sounds paradoxical, it’s true. That is, Windows 11 offers a fresh new user experience that is simpler, prettier, and more modern than that of its predecessor, Windows 10. But it is also instantly familiar, providing all of the same basic interfaces that Windows users expect, know, and use.

Like its predecessors, Windows 10 runs on PCs, 2-in-1s and tablets. But it also runs on an expanding range of new device types including embedded “Internet of Things” devices, phones and phablets, the Xbox One video game console, and completely new form factors like the HoloLens augmented reality headset and the Surface Hub, an epic 84-inch all-in-one PC aimed at collaborative groups, not individual users. Windows 10 Field Guide hits at the volume part of the Windows 10 user base: PCs, 2-in-1s and tablets. Put another way, Windows 10 Field Guide is a full-length e-book about the latest version of Microsoft Windows, aimed at those users who will upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, or acquire Windows 10 with a new PC or device.

This is an introductory course on loss data analysis. By that we mean the determination of the density of the probability of cumulative losses. Even though the main motivations come from applications to the insurance, banking and financial industries, the mathematical problem that we shall deal with appears in many application in engineering and natural sciences, where the appropriate name would be accumulated damage data analysis or systems reliability data analysis. Introductory does not mean simple: because the nature of the problems to be treated is complicated, some sophisticated tools may be required to deal with it. To conclude, we mention that all numerical examples were produced using R. The book contains applications to a large variety of problems, including the problem of dependence of the sample data used to estimate empirically the Laplace transform of the random variable.

There are some books that target the theory of the finite element, while others focus on the programming side of things. Introduction to Finite Element Analysis Using MATLAB and Abaqus accomplishes both. This book teaches the first principles of the finite element method. It presents the theory of the finite element method while maintaining a balance between its mathematical formulation, programming implementation, and application using commercial software. The computer implementation is carried out using MATLAB, while the practical applications are carried out in both MATLAB and Abaqus. MATLAB is a high-level language specially designed for dealing with matrices, making it particularly suited for programming the finite element method, while Abaqus is a suite of commercial finite element software. A neural network is a massively parallel distributed processor that works much like human brains. Neurons in a neural network are designed as nonlinear information-processing units, and the interactions between neurons are mediated by synapses. Neural networks can recognize hidden patterns and correlations in raw environmental data through various Deep Learning algorithms.
