The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to this set of technologies to teach a new programmer how to get started creating data-driven websites and to provide a jumping-off point for the reader to expand his or her skills. Today's modern world is heavily dependent on the World Wide Web. It affects the way we communicate, how we shop, and how we learn about the world. Every website, every page, consists of four fundamental elements: the structure, the style, the programming, and the data. These correspond to four different "languages," respectively: HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL. After learning the necessary components, users will have the understanding required to use the above technologies to create a working website. This book is aimed at the programmer or student who understands the basic building blocks of programming such as statements and control structures but lacks knowledge of the syntax and application of the above-mentioned technologies.

This book offers detailed case studies on how various industries have learned how to best allocate their resources-technical, human, and nancial-for enhancing productivity. It includes efforts to improve resource utilization from around the world. Case studies cover topics ranging from distributed virtual manufacturing enter-prises to integrating green technology in a cost-effective manner to materials and energy savings. Resources Utilization and Productivity Enhancement Case Stud-ies explores how energy-ef cient smart materials and structures hold tremendous potential for realizing cost savings and improving energy use in the modern industrial workplace. It also shows how industrial engineers have developed a variety of analytical and computer-based tools and technologies for planning, forecasting, and schedul-ing resources-including time, labor, and more recently, energy.

Microarray Analysis is a natural outgrowth of the author's teaching and research into the ¿ eld of microarray processing, a fast growing and developing ¿ eld. There has been a reduction in the genominomics of sequencing of DNA and proteins: from $3 billion in HGP costs down to $1000 per genome in 2014 using next-generation sequencers.Different sequencing methods in place and various applications of these methods are illustrated. Commercially available Next-Generation Sequencers are compared side-side by side. This book will show how the biochemical reactions involved in the different steps of the cure process can be studied using microarray methods. Examples will be provided throughout the text of various disease states, including the spread of cystic ¿ brosis in children, consanguineous marriages in Saudi Arabia, genetic disorders, and autoimmune disorders. The protocols from sample preparation to confocal scanning microscopy and detectors using photo multiplier tubes to statistical data analysis methods will be discussed in detail. The Polymerase chain reaction, a technique used to amplify and simultaneously quantify a targeted DNA molecule is explored in relation to the best surface to be used for Microarray Analysis. Sanger sequencing, sequencing by synthesis, sequencing by ligation, single molecule sensing, DNA passage through nanopores in graphene are some methods used for obtaining sequence distribution information.

This book explains the steps necessary to write manual accessibility tests and convert them into automated selenium-based accessibility tests to run part of regression test packs. If you are searching a topic on Google or buying a product online, web accessibility is a basic need. If a web page is easier to access when using a mouse and complex to navigate with keyboard, this is extremely difficult for users with disabilities. Web Accessibility Testing is a most important testing practice for customers facing web applications. This book explains the steps necessary to write manual accessibility tests and convert them into automated selenium-based accessibility tests to run part of regression test packs. WCAG and Section 508 guidelines are considered across the book while explaining the test design steps. Software testers with accessibility testing knowledge are in high demand at large organizations since the need to do manual and automated accessibility testing is growing rapidly. This book illustrates the types of accessibility testing with test cases and code examples.

The Cell Method (CM) is a computational tool that maintains criticalmultidimensional attributes of physical phenomena in analysis. Thisinformation is neglected in the differential formulations of the classicalapproaches of finite element, boundary element, finite volume,and finite difference analysis, often leading to numerical instabilitiesand spurious results.This book highlights the central theoretical concepts of the CM thatpreserve a more accurate and precise representation of the geometricand topological features of variables for practical problem solving.Important applications occur in fields such as electromagnetics, electrodynamics,solid mechanics and fluids. CM addresses non-localityin continuum mechanics, an especially important circumstance inmodeling heterogeneous materials. Professional engineers and scientists,as well as graduate students, are offered:¿ A general overview of physics and its mathematical descriptions;¿ Guidance on how to build direct, discrete formulations;¿ Coverage of the governing equations of the CM, including nonlocality;¿ Explanations of the use of Tonti diagrams; and¿ References for further reading.

This two-volume book comprises a comprehensive up-to-date body of knowledge that provides a total in-depth insight into valve and actuator technology - looking not just at control valves, but a whole host of other types including: check valves, shut-off valves, solenoid valves, and pressure relief valves. Research studies within the process industry routinely indicate that the fluid control valve is responsible for 60 to 70% of poor-functioning control systems. Furthermore, valves in general are consistently wrongly selected, regularly misapplied, and often incorrectly installed. A methodology is presented to ensure the optimum selection of size, choice of body and trim materials, components, and ancillaries. Whilst studying the correct procedures for sizing, readers will also learn the correct procedures for calculating the spring 'wind-up' or 'bench set'. Maintenance issues also include: testing for deadband/hysteresis, stick-slip and non-linearity; on-line diagnostics; and signature analysis. Written in a detailed but understandable language, the two volumes are presented in a form suitable for both the beginner, with no prior knowledge of the subject, and the more advanced specialist.
