It covers main testing procedures, key experimental results, and calibration protocols for constitutive modelling over a range of suction states (0- 300 MPa), using the axis-translation or vapour-pressure technique.

This is a book about software engineering, more specifically, software construction. However, unlikesimilar books, the fundamental principle driving this book is the idea that high-quality construction requires understanding of the foundations of computer systems. Therefore, we use an approach that puts software construction concepts in context, using both embedded and PC environments, to engage readers and to make clear why these concepts are important. The book provides sufficient coverage of the hardware underpinnings of computer systems to help develop students in electrical, computer science, and engineering, thus, bridging the gap between hardware and software engineering.

Big data security enables products like Hadoop to provide new knowledge in a secure fashion. Big data brings together many previously separate units of data that were partially secured by their host¿s technical inability to share that data seamlessly. The potential for data breach in a big data solution is huge. New processes and technology solutions are needed to enable sensitive data to be brought together safely allowing differential privacy, while simultaneously providing new knowledge from the aggregated results. This practical book shows how to protect Hadoop data from unauthorized access, and limit the ability of an attacker to corrupt or modify data in the event of a security breach.

The study of the canine's musculature is a science that is growing in importance but does not have the appropriate resource to support the type of functional or practical information required for a practitioner. This book is specific to the muscular system providing an in-depth resource itemising the distinctiveness of some muscles from a functional perspective that is not available within other canine anatomy books. Dissections and accompanying diagrams clearly illustrate all the relevant information regarding that muscle, including: origin, insertion, action and innervation along with the functional information.
