This is a story that was hidden in the shadows, a story that needed to be brought to light. It is a tale of resilience and the power of the human spirit in the face of religious oppression. A story that needed to be told, a story that is mine and that of millions of others. I write this, not as a victim but as a survivor, hoping to empower those who are still struggling to find their voices. It is a journey of self-discovery, of leaving behind the chains of religious trauma and the confines of a faith that no longer served me. It was a choice between my truth and a life dictated by dogma. As I turned my back on religion, I stepped into a world that was both liberating and daunting. I had to navigate a new identity, separate from the labels and restrictions imposed on me. It was a path of healing, of learning to trust myself and my choices, and of discovering a strength I never knew I possessed.
Elmasri, Levine, and Carrick's "spiral approach" to teaching operating systems develops student understanding of various OS components early on and helps students approach the more difficult aspects of operating systems with confidence. While operating systems have changed dramatically over the years, most OS books use a linear approach that covers each individual OS component in depth, which is difficult for students to follow and requires instructors to constantly put materials in context. Elmasri, Levine, and Carrick do things differently by following an integrative or "spiral" approach to explaining operating systems. The spiral approach alleviates the need for an instructor to "jump ahead" when explaining processes by helping students "completely" understand a simple, working, functional system as a whole in the very beginning. This is more effective pedagogically, and it inspires students to continue exploring more advanced concepts with confidence.
This edition combines clear explanations of database theory and design with up-to-date coverage of models and real systems. It features excellent examples and access to Addison Wesley's database Web site that includes further teaching, tutorials and many useful student resources.
The most important things in Arwa el Masri's life are her family and her faith ... and then her love of food. Arwa is a child of many countries. She was born in Saudi Arabia, lived in America as a child and spent time with her extended family in Syria.
This book provides a comprehensive yet concise coverage of the concepts and technology of database systems and their evolution into knowledge-bases. The traditional material on database systems at senior undergraduate level is covered. An understanding of concepts is emphasized avoiding extremes in formalism or detail.Rather than be restricted to a single example used over an entire book, a variety of examples are used. These enable the reader to understand the basic abstractions which underlie description of many practical situations.A major portion of the book concerns database system technology with focus on the relational model. Various topics are discussed in detail, preparing the ground for more advanced work.
The Internet Encyclopedia in a 3-volume reference work on the internet as a business tool, IT platform, and communications and commerce medium.
Covers research in the area of systems analysis and design practices and methodologies.
Object-oriented databases were originally developed as an alternative to relational database technology for the representation, storage, and access of non-traditional data forms that were increasingly found in advanced applications of database technology. After much debate regarding object-oriented versus relational database technology, object-oriented extensions were eventually incorporated into relational technology to create object-relational databases. Both object-oriented databases and object-relational databases, collectively known as object databases, provide inherent support for object features, such as object identity, classes, inheritance hierarchies, and associations between class...
