Description

This book contains the updated proceedings of the European Symposium ''Science, Technology and European Cultural Heritage'', which was held in Bologna, Italy, 13-16 June 1989. It was organized by the Commission of the European Communities' Directorate General for Science, Research and Development, in association with the National Research Council (CNR) of Italy, and formed part of the University of Bologna Ninth Centenary Celebrations. The Symposium brought together more than 400 people from within the European Community, from other parts of Europe, from North America and beyond; many of them internationally recognized scientists, conservators, art historians, and architects. Also participating were staff of national and international agencies. The Symposium had a number of important and broad objectives, as follows: to assess the major problems in this field and the role of science and technology in their solution; to identify and discuss the main research and development issues which are common to a range of cultural heritage problems and to increase the coherence of current efforts across this multi-disciplinary field; to enhance the applicability of research and development to this field through better matching with the real needs of conservators, restorers, policy makers and the general public; to catalyze the development of a European research community in this field; and to recommend specific research and development directions for the future, including the provision of a scientific basis for European Community policies on environment and culture. Toward these aims, a wide-ranging and flexible scientific programme was prepared, including invited state-of-the art reviews, illustrative case studies, panel discussions and poster presentations. Based upon this material, the book also includes an introductory overview of the critical issues related to scientific and technical aspects of the protection and conservation of European cultural heritage

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
