It successfully answers all questions from the area of computer networking and internet operation. After giving a brief explanation of how the underlying hardware works and discussing modulating a carrier, asynchronous, character-oriented data transmission, it defines terms such as bandwidth and baud.

It introduces ten motivation for using packets, and then describes characteristics used to categorize networks as: LANs, local loops, WANs, public or private, connection oriented or connectionless, as well as basic network topologies and wiring schemes. Finally it includes a discussion of both general and specific applications by describing the client-server model (less)

In her presence, Tara sinks into the blissful torpor of home, atonce her dreamy old self, but careful as ever around her older sister. For at theheart of this reunion are numerous tensions: their autistic brother Baba isincreasingly unquiet; Bim has not spoken to their other brother, Raja, for yearsand refuses to go to his daughters wedding; Tara feels the persistent guilt ofhaving, like the others, abandoned her.

Spanning the post-independence yearsfrom the 40s to the 80s, the sisters recall the death of Gandhi along with thoseof their parents, Rajas infatuation with their neighboring Muslim family andthe violence of Partition. For here is the tale of both (less)

This practical book takes the human-computer interaction researcher through the complete experimental process, from identifying a research question to designing and conducting an experiment, and then to analysing and reporting the results. The advice offered in this book draws on the author's twenty years of experience running experiments.

In describing general concepts of experimental design and analysis she refers to numerous worked examples that address the very real practicalities and problems of conducting an experiment, such as managing participants, getting ethical approval, pre-empting criticism, choosing a statistical method and dealing with unexpected events (less)

"As is known to Sanskrit Bana is very affluent in his diction, style and employment of figures of speech. Rightly goes the saying banocchistam jagat sarvam.

Though Bana at times, appears to be too ornate and verbose, his style is always mellifluous and his writing enriched in allusions and cultural ideals to all time of all people. At the same time his good style, marked by long compounds and lofty imaginations, can never be lost sight off.

The present work has highlighted the merits of Bhanucandra as commentator of Bana's Kadambari. And has given a critical analysis of Bana's style and diction and also the erudite scholarship of Bhanu, who has left on word unturned to find out the sources of Bana's usage (less)

In an account that is part history, part memoir, Habibullah draws on his long personal experience in the state administration to trace the missteps of the Indian government, the greed of entrenched Kashmiri elites, the state s religious politics, the inevitable polarization of communities and the ubiquitous political intrigue that repeatedly undermined hopes of tranquillity. Unlike many others who have written on the subject, Habibullah gives even-handed treatment to both Indian and Pakistani perspectives, but keeps the Kashmiri (less)
