This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . all the while sneaking in little snippets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self−study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily−commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts. This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts. The latest update of this document, as an archived, bzip2−ed "tarball" including both the SGML source and rendered HTML, may be downloaded from the author's home site.

A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8 Answer: C Explanation: SCSI-1 support total 7 peripherals. There are several different types of SCSI devices. The original SCSI specification is commonly referred to as SCSI-1. The newer specification, SCSI-2, offers increased speed and performance, as well as new commands. Fast SCSI increases throughput to more than 10MB per second. Fast-Wide SCSI provides a wider data path and throughput of up to 40MB per second and up to 15 devices. There there are Ultra-SCSI and Ultra-Wide-SCSI QUESTION NO: 3 You need to install a fax server.

Refer to Illustrated Parts for compatibility cross references. The cassette feeder tray and its associated parts are optional on the LS, LS/L, and NTR models. Basics Paper Paths - 2 Paper Paths There are four paper paths in the Personal LaserWriter. Paper is fed from the cassette or multipurpose tray and delivered to the face-down or face-up delivery trays. Note: Face signifies image side. Default delivery is face- down at the top of the printer.

While numerous studies have quantified biomolecular adsorption to Au NPs in terms of equilibrium binding constants, far less is known about biomolecular orientation on nanoparticle surfaces. In this study, the binding of the protein α-synuclein to citrate and (16- mercaptohexadecyl)trimethylammonium bromide (MTAB)-coated 12 nm Au NPs is examined by heteronuclear single quantum coherence NMR spectroscopy to provide site-specific measurements of protein−nanoparticle binding. Molecular dynamics simulations support the orientation assignments, which

  • Name Synopsis Description Options
    UMOUNT(8) System Administration UMOUNT(8) NAME umount − unmount file systems SYNOPSIS umount −a [−dflnrv][−t fstype][−O option...] umount [−dflnrv]{directory|device}... umount −h|−V DESCRIPTION The umount command detaches the mentioned file system(s) from the file hierarchy. A file system is spec- ified by giving the directory where it has been mounted. Giving the special device on which the file system livesmay also work, but is obsolete, mainly because it will fail in case this device was mounted on more than one directory. Note that a file system cannot be unmounted when it is ’busy’ - for example, when there are open files on it, or when some process has its working directory there, or when a swap file on it is in use. The offending process could evenbe umount itself - it opens libc, and libc in its turn may open for example locale files. Alazy unmount avoids this problem, but it may introduce another issues. See −−lazy description below. OPTIONS −a, −−all All of the filesystems described in /proc/self/mountinfo (or in deprecated /etc/mtab) are un- mounted, except the proc, devfs, devpts, sysfs, rpc_pipefs and nfsd filesystems. This list of the filesystems may be replaced by −−types umount option. −A, −−all−targets Unmount all mountpoints in the current namespace for the specified filesystem. The filesystem can be specified by one of the mountpoints or the device name (or UUID, etc.). When this option is used together with −−recursive,then all nested mounts within the filesystem are recursively un- mounted. This option is only supported on systems where /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts.

Common security mechanisms such as sandboxing and access control are either too restrictive or too weakÐthey prevent applications from sharing data usefully, or allow private information to leak. For example, security mechanisms in Java prevent many useful applications while still permitting Trojan horse applets

We provide a broad overview of how chemical and structural properties of surfactant molecules result in different self-assembled structures at polymer and mineral surfaces, by studying three characteristic surfactants: (1) an anionic aliphatic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), (2) a cationic aliphatic surfactant, myristyltrimethylammonium bro- mide (MTAB), and (3) a silicone polyelectrolyte with a long-chain PDMS midblock and multiple cationic end groups.
