Electronics For You - Projects and Ideas 2000 - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ransistor lead identification is cru-cial in designing and servicing. A cir-cuit designer or a serviceman must befully conversant with the types of tran-sistors used in a circuit. Erroneous leadidentification may lead to malfunctions,and, in extreme cases, even destructionof the circuit being designed or serviced.Though transistor manufacturers en-capsulate their products in different pack-age outlines for identification, it is im-possible to memorise the outlines of in-numerable transistors manufactured bythe industry. Although a number ofmanuals are published, which provide pindetails, they may not always be acces-sible. Besides, it is not always easy tofind out the details of a desired transis-tor by going through the voluminousmanuals. But, a handy gadget, called tran-sistor lead identifier, makes the job easy.All one has to do is place the transistorin the gadget’s socket to instantly get thedesired information on its display, irre-spective of the type and package-outlineof the device under test.A manually controlled version of thepresent project had been published in June’84 issue of EFY. The present model is to-tally microprocessor controlled, and henceall manually controlled steps are replacedby software commands. A special circuit,shown in Fig. 1, which acts as an interfaceto an 8085 -based microprocessor kit, hasbeen developed for the purpose.
The Myths of Standardized Tests: Why They Don't Tell You What You Think They Do - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Pundits, politicians, and business leaders continually make claims for what standardized tests can do, and those claims go largely unchallenged because they are in line with popular assumptions about what these tests can do, what the scores mean, and the psychology of human motivation. But what most of what these opinion leaders say-and the public believes-about standardized testing just isn't so. However, few members of the general public, not even concerned parents, have the time or the background to keep up with the latest findings of testing experts, psychometricians, and researchers. That's where The Myths of Standardized Tests comes in. In simple, accessible language, Harris, Smith, and Harris spell out the assumptions underlying standardized tests and point out what's true about them and what's just plain mythical. But they not only debunk common assumptions; they propose better ways to judge the success of our schools. They also offer readers suggestions for ways they can help reduce the burden of tests on their children.Appendixes offer readers contact information and suggestions for actions they can take to become part of the solution to the problem of overusing and misusing standardized tests.
“I clothed you in purple”: The Rabbinic king-parables of the third-century Roman Empire - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Abstract"I Clothed You in Purple"The Rabbinic King-Parables of the Third-Century Roman EmpireAlan AppelbaumMay 2007This is an analysis of comparisons the Rabbis made with kings, limited toRoman Palestine and to the ninety-year period beginning with the accession ofthe Emperor Septimius Severus in 193 C.E. and ending with the accession ofDiocletian. Based primarily on the original rabbinic texts, it also draws ontraditional Greek and Latin sources of imperial history and brings contemporarytheory to bear.A major part of the study re-examines current scholarly views aboutking-parables and finds them wanting - including the still prevalentpresupposition that "the king" is usually modeled on the emperor; the idea,recently renewed by Daniel Boyarin, that the Rabbis told the parables to makeTorah accessible to non-Rabbis; and, most important, the idea, championed byDavid Stern, that "the king," no matter what earthly ruler he is modeled on, isa stand-in for God. The study also supplements the ongoing work on king-parables being done by Clemens Thoma and his colleagues in Switzerland.As the study attends to the king-parables' form, structure, functions,settings and characters, it emphasizes the Rabbis' distinctive ideas about therelationship of humanity to God.Since the parables were produced by an intellectual elite in a countryoccupied by a world-empire, the study considers them as resistance literatureand explores what contemporary post-colonial theory and James C. Scott'swork concerning "hidden transcripts" may have to say about them.And since scholars of Roman history traditionally bemoan the paucity ofsources for the period, it poses the hypothesis that making comparisons to"kings" modeled on emperors or their representatives involves at least thinkingone knows something about them. The Rabbis' accounts of such "kings" notonly shed light on the attitudes of a group of literate citizens in a particulareastern province toward living, breathing emperors but also provideinformation about third-century imperial history, sometimes confirminggenerally accepted readings of traditional sources, sometimes supportingsources that have been regarded as questionable, and sometimes helping toresolve open issue

The VueScan Bible: Everything You Need to Know for Perfect Scanning (English and English Edition) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: VueScan is the world's most widely used software interface for digitizing film and prints on flatbed and film scanners. This powerful yet affordable program supports over 1500 scanners and 321 digital camera RAW file types, and is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Much more than a simple scanner program, VueScan allows you to perform functions such as color restoration, adding sharpening filters, adjusting white balance, rotating images, and batch scanning multiple images. It also provides output to a variety of formats including TIFF, JPEG, and searchable PDF files (even all three simultaneously). The Pro version outputs to the RAW format and provides options for color adjustments, and more. Despite its popularity, the documentation for VueScan does not provide enough information to use the full power of the system and makes it difficult to get started. The VueScan Bible is the missing manual for new, experienced, and prospective users of VueScan.

Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids: Why Being a Great Parent is Less Work and More Fun Than You Think - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: DURING MY LIFETIME, THE AMERICAN FAMILY HAS DRASTICALLY downsized. Women in their forties are about twice as likely to haveone child—or none—as they were thirty years ago. Big families have all but disappeared. In 1976, 20 percent of women in their early fortieshad five or more kids; by 2006, less than 4 percent did.If you ask people to explain why we don’t have as many kids as we used to, the answers are all over the place. “People can’t afford bigfamilies anymore,” “Women have real careers now,” “We don’t need kids to help out with farm work,” “Women want to live like men,”“Americans have lost faith in God.” In Athens, the Greeks blame air pollution.If you make the question personal, however, the answers are very much alike. When asked, “Why don’t you have as many kids as weused to?” both men and women respond with groans. As best I can tell, the English translation of these groans is “Kids are a lot of work,” ormaybe “Imagine all the dirty diapers and sleepless nights,” or perhaps “Are you trying to kill me?”To be brutally honest, we’re reluctant to have more children because we think that the pain outweighs the gain. When people compare thegrief that another child would give them to the joy that the child would bring, they conclude that it’s just not worth it. As Bill Cosby put it, “Thereason we have five children is because we do not want six.”You could easily call this a very selfish outlook. How can you focus exclusively on whether another child would make you happier? Whatabout the child? Unless your baby is truly unlucky, he will almost certainly be happy to be alive. Aren’t you? This is your child we’re talkingabout. If you have to make yourself a little less happy in order to give a son or daughter the gift of life, shouldn’t you?The question is serious, but I’m going to dodge it. While I accept the natalist view that more births should be encouraged because theymake the world a better place, asking others to sacrifice their happiness for the good of the world seems futile. Preaching againstselfishness is usually about as productive as nagging a brick wall. When people weigh the costs and benefits of having another child, I’m notgoing to call them sinners for using a scale.The claim of this book, rather, is that current and prospective parents have accidentally tipped their scales against fertility. We may feelsure that the pursuit of happiness and kids (or at least more kids) are incompatible, but it is in the average person’s enlightened self-interestto have more kids. That’s right—people are not having enough children for their own good. Prospective parents need to take another lookbefore they decide not to leap. Current parents need to take another look before they decide not to leap again.My theory is not one-size-fits-all. The claim is not that everyone should have lots of kids, but that the average person should have morekids. More than what? More than they were otherwise planning to have. If you live in a tiny urban apartment and love fancy foreign vacations,this might mean one kid instead of zero. If you live in a suburban McMansion and love theme parks, this might mean five kids instead ofthree. I’m here to provide information, not run your life.There are many selfish reasons to have more kids, but there are four big reasons to put on the table right away:First, parents can sharply improve their lives without hurting their kids. Nature, not nurture, explains most family resemblance, soparents can safely cut themselves a lot of additional slack.Second, parents are much more worried than they ought to be. Despite the horror stories in the media, kids are much safertoday than they were in the “Idyllic Fifties.”Third, many of the benefits of children come later in life. Kids have high start-up costs, but wise parents weigh their initial sleepdeprivation against a lifetime of rewards—including future grandchildren.Last, self-interest and altruism point in the same direction. Parents who have another child make the world a better place, soyou can walk the path of enlightened selfishness with a clear conscience.
