The first edition of this excellent handbook was extremely well received by both students and lecturers alike. It has helped to simplify the often complex and difficult task of choosing and using the right statistics package. This is a book for any student or professional biologist who wants to process data using a statistical package on the computer, to select appropriate methods, and extract the important information from the often confusing output that is produced. It is aimed primarily at undergraduates and masters students in the biological sciences who have to apply statistics in practical classes and projects. Such users of statistics do not have to understand either how tests work or how to do the calculations, and these aspects are not covered in the book. The new edition has been updated to cover the very latest versions of the computer packages described, expanded to include coverage for logistic regression, a more detailed consideration of multivariate analysis, data exploration and further examples of Principle Component Analysis and Discriminate Function Analysis are given. New edition will use SPSS 10.0, Minitab 13.1 and Excel 2000. New simplified version of the Key and flow chart of decisions to reach simple statistical tests. Section on multivariate techniques expanded to give further examples of PCA and DFA. Aimed at students using statistics for projects and in practical classes. Statistical jargon explained through an extensive glossary and key to symbols. Stresses the importance of experimental design, measurement of data and interpretation of results rather than an understanding of the statistical tests themselves. Получить ссылку |
Testing SAP R/3
A Manager’s Step-by-Step Guide
Автор: JOSE FAJARDO, ELFRIEDE DUSTIN
Год издания:
Planning, preparing, scheduling, and executing SAP test cycles is a
time-consuming and resource-intensive endeavor that requires participation
from several project members. SAP projects are prone to
have informal, ad-hoc test approaches that decrease the stability of
the production environment and tend to increase the cost of ownership
for the SAP system. Many SAP project and test managers cannot
provide answers for questions such as how many requirements have
testing coverage, the exit criteria for a test phase, the audit trails for
test results, the dependencies and correct sequence for executing test
cases, or the cost figures for a previously executed test cycle. Fortunately,
through established testing techniques predicated on guidelines
and methodologies (i.e., ASAP SAP Roadmap methodology,
IBM’s Ascendant methodology, and Deloitte’s ThreadManager
methodology), enforcement of standards, application of objective
testing criteria, test case automation, implementation of a requirements
traceability matrix (RTM), and independent testing and formation
of centralized test teams, many of the testing risks that plague
existing or initial SAP programs can be significantly reduced.
This book is written for SAP managers, SAP consultants, SAP
testers, and team leaders who are tasked with supporting, managing,
implementing, and monitoring testing activities related to test planning,
test design, test automation, test tool management, execution of
test cases, reporting of test results, test outsourcing, planning a budget
for testing activities, enforcing testing standards, and resolving
defects.

Photoshop CS2 Raw: Using Adobe Camera Raw, Bridge, and Photoshop to Get the Most Out of Your Digital Camera
Автор: Aaland Mikkel
Год издания:
The RAW file format is the uncompressed data file captured by a digital camera's electronic sensor. When your camera saves an image in RAW format, settings like white balance, sharpening, contrast and saturation are not applied to the image but are saved instead in a separate header. Because RAW files remain virtually untouched by in-camera processing, they are essentially the digital equivalent to exposed but undeveloped film.
This makes RAW an increasingly popular format with amateur and professional digital photographers, because it affords greater flexibility and control during the editing process-if you know how to work with RAW files.
Most digital camera manufacturers supply their own software for converting RAW data, as do some third party vendors. Increasingly, however, the RAW converter of choice is a plug-in included in the latest version of Adobe Photoshop, the most popular and widely-used digital image editing tool in the world. Adobe Photoshop CS2 is emerging as the best place to edit RAW images, and the best way to master this new format is with Photoshop CS2 RAW.
An important book dedicated to working with RAW in Photoshop, this comprehensive guide features a unique design that helps readers grasp the subject through visual instruction and prompts. The entire RAW process is explored, from shooting to using the Adobe plug-in converter and new Bridge navigation software. The primary focus of Photoshop RAW is, as the title suggests, Photoshop editing technique: automating RAW workflow, correcting exposures, extending exposure range, manipulating grayscale and working with the new DNG (Digital Negative) open standard that Adobe supports.
Presented by photographer Mikkel Aaland, a pioneer of digital photography and author of eight books, including O"Reilly"s Photoshop for the Web and the award-winning Shooting Digital, Photoshop CS2 RAW investigates and instructs in an accessible visual style. Required reading for professionals and dedicated photo hobbyists alike.
