b]Description :[/b] The cost of machinery outages and repairs has escalated. The prerequisites required to be able to perform as a machinery engineer could even be expanded thus: A knowledge of stress analysis, measurement techniques, instrumentation, vibration analysis, materials, machine shop procedures, fluid flow, rotor dynamics, machinery field erection and startup procedures, and an understanding of effective maintenance management. This list is by no means complete. And since very few of us feel absolute master of all of these areas, we seek guidelines, procedures, and techniques that have worked for our colleagues elsewhere. Collecting these guidelines for every machinery category, size, type, or model would be almost impossible, and the resulting encyclopedia would be voluminous and outrageously expensive. Therefore, the only reasonable course of action has been to be selective and assemble the most important, most frequently misapplied or perhaps even some of the most cost-effective maintenance, repair, installation, and field verification procedures needed by machinery engineers serving the refining and petrochemical process industries. This is what my colleagues, Heinz P. Bloch and Fred K. Geitner, have succeeded in doing. Volume 3 of this series on machinery management brings us the know-how of some of the most knowledgeable individuals in the field. Engineers and supervisors concerned with machinery and component selection, installation, and maintenance will find this an indispensable guide. Here, finally, is a long-needed source of practical reference information which the reader can readily adapt to similar machinery or installations in his particular plant environment.

WinMount is a powerful windows utility which is dedicated to managing compressed archives and image files impressivesly and conviniently. It can be used to mount ZIP, RAR, ISO,etc archives very fast, which enabling you to use the files inside it directly without needing extract it beforehand. Such convenience, therefore, saves your time and disk space dramatically. In addition, WinMount, serving as a CD-ROM OR DVD-ROM emulator, supports almost all image file formats, which including but not limited to ISO, CUE/BIN, CCD,BWT, MDS, CDI, NRG, PDI B5T and ISZ.

Computing hardware would have no value without software; software tells hardware what to do. Software therefore must have special authority within computing systems. All computer security problems stem from that fact, and Exploiting Software: How to Break Code shows you how to design your software so it’s as resistant as possible to attack.

Sure, everything’s phrased in offensive terms (as instructions for the attacker, that is), but this book has at least as much value in showing designers what sorts of attacks their software will face (the book could serve as a checklist for part of a pre-release testing regimen). Plus, the clever reverse-engineering strategies that Greg Hoglund and Gary McGraw teach will be useful in many legitimate software projects. Consider this a recipe book for mayhem, or a compendium of lessons learned by others. It depends on your situation.

PHP programmers will take issue with the authors’ blanket assessment of their language (”PHP is a study in bad security”), much of which seems based on older versions of the language that had some risky default behaviors–but those programmers will also double-check their servers’ register_globals settings. Users of insufficiently cracked Microsoft and Oracle products will worry about the detailed attack instructions this book contains. Responsible programmers and administrators will appreciate what amounts to documentation of attackers’ rootkits for various operating systems, and will raise their eyebrows at the techniques for writing malicious code to unused EEPROM chips in target systems. –David Wall

Scientific American is a popular science magazine, published (first weekly and later monthly) since August 28, 1845, making it the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. It brings articles about new and innovative research to the amateur and lay audience.
For working scientists, especially in high-tech fields, there are only a few crucial nonjournal periodicals to pore over faithfully, and Scientific American is one of them--its timely and technical features on everything from paleoarchaeology to neural nets set it apart from popular science magazines like Discover. Scientific American emphasizes a wide variety of emerging technologies, giving scientists a chance to keep up in an increasingly specialized professional world. Innovative and controversial developments such as gene patenting and the latest from the unified field gurus are front and center in every issue. It's not all business, though--regular features like Michael Shermer's "Skeptic" column, enticing book reviews, brain-busting puzzles, and James Burke's intellectual-historical meanderings add browsability to this enduring magazine, in business reporting the frontiers of scientific exploration for more than 150 years.
