Product Description
What part of this Asian address is the street? What is this accent and is it correct? Which one of these numbers is the postcode? In which language should I be corresponding? How do I salute this person? In what order should I output this name? For every individual entered on to a world-wide address database, these questions and others need to be answered precisely. This one-stop reference work covering 194 countries provides an international marketing database - to help ensure that your post is delivered to the correct destination and accurately names the recipient. The book provides, for each country, such information as address and postcode formats, postbox names, salutions, personal name patterns, information about languages, diacritical marks, job titles, casing rules, street types and more.

Product Description
First published guide to assist engineers and investigators to obtain and interpret "black box" data from vehicles for safety and accident related systems.More accurate assessments of land vehicle accident conditions can be made with the use of this new joint ASTM/SAE publication, which provides users guidance on obtaining and interpreting "black box" data. Technological advances in non-volatile electronic data storage have enabled increasingly sophisticated information, to be gathered from automobiles and trucks involved in highway accidents. This electronically saved data, regarding issues such as: engine fuel management (EFI), antilock braking systems (ABS), automatic traction control (ATC), cruise control (CC), air bags (SRS), and seat belt tensioners (ETR) will be an immense aid to land vehicle investigators attempting to determine vehicle conditions before and during an accident. Originally intended to assist repair, not necessarily investigation, stored data has been saved in several different formats and the ability to now obtain a set of data will be extremely useful to investigators.Also included is information on where and how to find various data parameters and how to interpret and combine them so their sum can present a vehicle condition overview that can provide significant additional information—when compared to traditional post-accident mechanical analysis techniques. Discussion also covers mathematical structures, basic Newtonian physics, and basic electronic circuits. These elements are then integrated into several case studies. ... Read more

Product Description

Providing key information on how to work with research data, Introduction to Data Technologies presents ideas and techniques for performing critical, behind-the-scenes tasks that take up so much time and effort yet typically receive little attention in formal education. With a focus on computational tools, the book shows readers how to improve their awareness of what tasks can be achieved and describes the correct approach to perform these tasks.

Practical examples demonstrate the most important points
The author first discusses how to write computer code using HTML as a concrete example. He then covers a variety of data storage topics, including different file formats, XML, and the structure and design issues of relational databases. After illustrating how to extract data from a relational database using SQL, the book presents tools and techniques for searching, sorting, tabulating, and manipulating data. It also introduces some very basic programming concepts as well as the R language for statistical computing. Each of these topics has supporting chapters that offer reference material on HTML, CSS, XML, DTD, SQL, R, and regular expressions.

One-stop shop of introductory computing information
Written by a member of the R Development Core Team, this resource shows readers how to apply data technologies to tasks within a research setting. Collecting material otherwise scattered across many books and the web, it explores how to publish information via the web, how to access information stored in different formats, and how to write small programs to automate simple, repetitive tasks.

Data Technologies by Paul Murrell
This is a very gentle book.It provides a first look at things like HTML, XML, SQL and other supposedly arcane technologies used in data storage, retrieval and manipulation.Coming from Paul Murrell, it has a delicately humorous, slightly quirky slant in some of the examples he chooses, but maintaining full relevance.There is a little bit on R included, but almost as an afterthought.It is not a book abour R.The book is clearly intended to be a teaching resource for a component of a modern statistics subject, probably at second or (honours) first year.I found the pace a little slow, but then, I'm no longer a student!

The entire text of the book has been released electronically and, in the spirit of R itself, is free.You just can't sell it.So classes using the text could be expected to have their own electronic materials.A search on something like "Paul Murrell Data Technonogies" should locate it quickly enough. ...

Product Description
Most people who have been exposed to Lean, Six Sigma, or other process improvement training have learned good data collection, plotting, and analysis methods, along with how to use Minitab statistical software to help with those tasks. However, the sample data files used in training are usually clean and simple and don't reflect what students actually encounter in the real world. The reader will learn an ideal format for Minitab data sets, and two ways for getting a data file formatted optimally for analysis using Minitab or other statistical software. ... Read more

Product Description
Chapters: Leb128, Dwarf, Program Database, Map, Stabs. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 21. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: LEB128 or Little Endian Base 128 is a form of compression used to store an arbitrarily large integer in a small number of bytes. It is used in the DWARF debug file format. LEB128 allows small numbers to be stored in a single byte, while also allowing encoding of arbitrarily long numbers. There are 2 versions of LEB128: unsigned LEB128 and signed LEB128. The decoder must know whether the encoded value is unsigned LEB128 or signed LEB128. To encode an unsigned number using unsigned LEB128 first represent the number in binary. Then zero extend the number up to a multiple of 7 bits (such that the most significant 7 bits are not all 0). Break the number up into groups of 7 bits. Output one encoded byte for each 7 bit group, from least significant to most significant group. Each byte will have the group in its 7 least significant bits. Set the most significant bit on each byte except the last byte. The number zero is encoded as a single byte 0x00. For example the unsigned number 624485 (0x98765) is encoded as 0xE5 0x8E 0x26. A signed number is represented similarly, except that the two's complement number is sign extended up to a multiple of 7 bits (ensuring that the most significant bit is zero for a positive number and one for a negative number). Then the number is broken into groups as for the unsigned encoding. For example the signed number -624485 (0xFFF6789b) is encoded as 0x9b 0xf1 0x59. do { byte = low order 7 bits of value; value ...

Product Description
This part of ISO 7168 specifies a condensed data format for presentation of air quality data. Contrary to the general data format specified in ISO 7168-1, the condensed data format reduces the file size. This format is intended particularly for exchanging files between automatic data processing systems. Therefore, it is restricted to the minimum information necessary for processing data. ...

Product Description
This part of IEC 62258 has been developed to facilitate the production, supply and use of semiconductor die products, including but not limited to - singulated bare die, - minimally or partially encapsulated die and wafers. This standard specifies the data formats that may be used for the exchange of data covered by other parts in the IEC 62258 series as well as definitions of all parameters used according to the principles and methods of IEC 61360-1, IEC 61360-2 and IEC 61360-4. It introduces a Device Data Exchange (DDX) format, with the prime goal of facilitating the transfer of adequate geometric data between the die manufacturer and the CAD/CAE user and formal information models that allow data exchange in other formats such as STEP physical file format, fin accordance with ISO 10303-21 and XML. The data format has been kept intentionally flexible to permit usage beyond this initial scope. This standard reflects the DDX data format: version 1.2.1. ... Read more
