This document provides instructions for using several online databases available through a university library. It explains that databases allow users to search for and access full-text articles and bibliographic information on various topics. The databases covered include EBSCOhost, HW Wilson, Gale Infotrac, and Proquest. The document outlines how to navigate to the databases, perform basic and advanced searches, view search results, and access full-text articles. It emphasizes using keywords related to the research topic and provides tips for printing, emailing, or saving useful articles found through the databases.
The document discusses replacing traditional street lighting with solar LED lighting. It introduces Visionary Lighting and Energy, a social enterprise focused on bringing renewable energy and LED lighting technologies to developing countries. Solar LED street lighting systems are presented as an energy efficient and low maintenance alternative to traditional street lights. Calculations show the solar LED lights can reduce energy consumption by over 60% and pay for themselves within 2 years, while also reducing carbon emissions.
The key challenge for librarians today is to improve customer services and provide
Patrons with a pleasant experience when searching and browsing books. RFID
Technology significantly reduces management costs and increases the time that
Librarians spend with patrons by enabling automated book handling at check-ins,
Check-outs, collections inventories, book sorting and theft deterrence. RFID plays vital
Role in redefining the library process to make everyone’s job easier right from patron
To library staff

RFID technology is taking off in libraries at an increasingly rapid pace. It is easy to envision that, the RFID tag contents will increase in power, prices are expected to decline and tag will dramatically improve its efficiency, security and accuracy.
The document describes an RFID-enabled library management system that uses RFID technology to automate and improve various library processes. Key features include cataloging books and members using RFID tags, tracking book circulation and demand through a centralized database, generating reports, and providing a web interface for online services. The system was implemented using a three-tier architecture with ASP.NET for the front end, a class library as the middleware, and a backend Microsoft Access database. RFID readers interface with the system through a custom ActiveX control to automate tasks like inventory management and item checkout/return.
This document discusses using RFID technology to improve library management systems. It introduces RFID as an alternative to barcode technology and outlines three proposed models for implementing RFID in libraries of different sizes. The components of an RFID library management system are then described, including hardware like RFID tags, readers, antennas, security systems and software for tracking inventory and patron management. Benefits of RFID for libraries include reduced staff workload, improved security and inventory tracking, and faster check-in/check-out processes.
The document discusses performance testing of various programming languages running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It describes running a simple looping benchmark in Java, Scala, Clojure, JRuby, JPC and JavaScript to see how well each language's bytecodes can be optimized by the JIT compiler. The results show that Java and Scala perform similarly due to similar semantics, while other languages encounter issues like object allocation, lack of inlining, or data type mismatches. The author advocates for tools to help language implementers understand JVM optimization barriers and ensure their languages can achieve high performance.
