compact guide shows you how to deliver it! Whether your boss wants you to jazz 
up the company's Web site or you're burning the midnight oil trying to pull 
together some Web animations for a class project, this tightly focused, project-
based guide shows you how to start creating Flash animations in an instant! 
Using big, bold full-color pictures and streamlined instructions, it covers just 
the need-to-know essentials that will get you animating with Flash: using the

explore on your own, with detailed directions, accurate maps, practical 
logistical advice, and etiquette tips. We've also included a handy appendix of 
useful Chinese phrases, and establishment names are listed in both English and 
Chinese characters, making it easier for you to get around and find the places 
you're looking for. Our authors, experienced China travelers who've written

Pages 
 
 
 Describing in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves, 
this book discusses ocean wave evolution in accordance with the energy balance 
equation. An extensive overview of nonlinear transfer is given, and the role of 
four-wave interactions in the generation of extreme events as well as the 
effects on ocean circulation is included. The volume will interest ocean wave 
modellers, physicists, applied mathematicians, and engineers

Kaddour Najim, Enso Ikonen, Ait-Kadi Daoud, "Stochastic Processes: Estimation, 
Optimisation and Analysis" 
Butterworth-Heinemann | ISBN 1903996554 | 2004 Year | DjVu | 3 Mb | 305 Pages 
 
 
 A stochastic process is a random or conjectural process, and this book is 
concerned with applied probability and statistics. Whilst maintaining the 
mathematical rigour this subject requires, it addresses topics of interest to 
engineers, such as problems in modelling, control, reliability maintenance, data 
analysis and engineering involvement with insurance. 
 
This book deals with the tools and techniques used in the stochastic process 
estimation, optimisation and recursive logarithms in a form accessible to 
engineers and which can also be applied to Matlab. 
 
Amongst the themes covered in the chapters are mathematical expectation arising 
from increasing information patterns, the estimation of probability 
distribution, the treatment of distribution of real random phenomena (in 
engineering, economics, biology and medicine etc), and expectation maximisation. 
The latter part of the book considers optimization algorithms, which can be 
used, for example, to help in the better utilization of resources, and 
stochastic approximation algorithms, which can provide prototype models in many 
practical applications.

Douglas Mauro, Kevin Schmidt, "Essential SNMP" (2nd edition) 
O'Reilly | ISBN 0596008406 | September 21, 2005 Year | CHM | 2,56 Mb | 460 Pages 
 
 
 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a "simple" set of 
operations that allows you to more easily monitor and manage network devices 
like routers, switches, servers, printers, and more. The information you can 
monitor with SNMP is wide-ranging  from standard items, like the amount of 
traffic flowing into an interface, to far more esoteric items, like the air 
temperature inside a router. In spite of its name, though, SNMP is not 
especially simple to learn. 
 
O'Reilly has answered the call for help with a practical introduction that shows 
how to install, configure, and manage SNMP. Written for network and system 
administrators, the book introduces the basics of SNMP and then offers a 
technical background on how to use it effectively. Essential SNMP explores both 
commercial and open source packages, and elements like OIDs, MIBs, community 
strings, and traps are covered in depth. The book contains five new chapters and 
various updates throughout. Other new topics include: 
 Expanded coverage of SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 
 Expanded coverage of SNMPc 
 The concepts behind network management and change management 
 RRDTool and Cricket 
 The use of scripts for a variety of tasks 
 How Java can be used to create SNMP applications 
 Net-SNMP's Perl module 
 
The bulk of the book is devoted to discussing, with real examples, how to use 
SNMP for system and network administration tasks. Administrators will come away 
with ideas for writing scripts to help them manage their networks, create 
managed objects, and extend the operation of SNMP agents. 
 
Once demystified, SNMP is much more accessible. If you're looking for a way to 
more easily manage your network, look no further than Essential SNMP, 2nd 
Edition.

D.Chamberlain, et al, "RT Essentials" 
O'Reilly | ISBN 0596006683 | August 18, 2005 Year | CHM | 1,6 Mb | 216 Pages 
 
 
 In a typical organization, there's always plenty that to do such as: pay 
vendors, invoice customers, answer customer inquiries, and fix bugs in hardware 
or software. You need to know who wants what and keep track of what is left to 
do. 
This is where a ticketing system comes in. A ticketing system allows you to 
check the status of various tasks: when they were requested, who requested them 
and why, when they were completed, and more. RT is a high-level, open source 
ticketing system efficiently enabling a group of people to manage tasks, issues, 
and requests submitted by a community of users. 
 
RT Essentials, co-written by one of the RT's original core developers, Jesse 
Vincent, starts off with a quick background lesson about ticketing systems and 
then shows you how to install and configure RT. This comprehensive guide 
explains how to perform day-to-day tasks to turn your RT server into a highly 
useful tracking tool. One way it does this is by examining how a company could 
use RT to manage its internal processes. Advanced chapters focus on developing 
add-on tools and utilities using Perl and Mason. There's also chapter filled 
with suggested uses for RT inside your organization. 
 
No matter what kind of data your organization tracks  from sales inquiries to 
security incidents or anything in between  RT Essentials helps you use RT to 
provide order when you need it most.
