In the previous class, you have learnt some database concepts and SQL commands. You have also learnt how to create databases and tables within databases and how to access data from a table using various clauses of SELECT command. In this chapter you shall learn some more clauses and functions in SQL to access data from a table and how to access data from multiple tables of a database.

Ratio and Proportion II. Linear Equations III. Data, Statistics, and Probability IV. Geometry Numericon is a game-like math video series addressing Ratio & Proportion; Linear Equations; Data, Statistics, & Probability; and Geometry. Numericon motivates students to learn and apply math concepts while answering the age-old question, “How does this math apply to real life?” While each episode offers a satisfying beginning and conclusion that can be used as a stand-alone teaching tool, the complete narrative includes character development that underscores values such as teamwork, loyalty, trust, and responsibility to oneself and others. Numericon is a cinematic 26-episode science fiction adventure, filled with action-packed cliffhanger sequences. A highly diverse team of space mercenaries follows the instructions of their captain, the student, to solve increasingly complex standards-based math problems that will ultimately determine the fate of the universe. Each Numericon episode consists of three segments: Challenge – The story begins and the team finds itself in a predicament that must be solved using math. Counselor – Students can check with the counselor. She will offer hints and strategies to help complete the mission. Resolution – Once the student has helped the crew to solve the math problem, the mission is completed and the episode concludes. The crew is one step closer to saving the universe. Supporting the Numericon Video Series – MatrixMath Instructional Guide The purpose of the MatrixMath Instructional Guide is to help teachers assist students in understanding the mathematics behind the problems posed in Numericon video episodes.

    If NoSQL is your answer, you are probably asking the wrong question. Hi, my name is Lukas Kahwe Smith and I am not a troll @lsmith @lsmith77 SQL For the conference we're looking for someone who can be a part of the 'Databases - short talks' presentations to give a lightning talk about SQL. SQL NoSQL No SQL? Not Only SQL? Time for some pseudo math Given that most relational databases have an SQL interface RDBMS - SQL = NoSQL ? NoSQL + SQL = RDBMS ? Key-Value-Store + Complex Queries = NoSQL ? I am about to blow your mind I have created a database API for unstructured hierarchical documents on top of an RDBMS with an SQL-like interface And I wasn’t even the first person to do it .. Can we agree to stop using the term NoSQL ? Using NewSQL is not any better! Instead talk about RDBMS, Doc-Stores, Key-Value- Stores, Graph-Databases .. There is clearly a growing number of people considering alternatives to RDBMS Actually Key-Value-Stores have been popular for many years already So clearly the current trend is not just about sharding unstructured documents in an elastically scaling cluster Its also not about getting rid of SQL, after all the CAP theorem doesn’t talk about what query languages to use RDBMS - relational model = ? We still love RDBMS for what their good for Storing and retrieving structured relational small to large data sets with high consistency and reliability And yes we also still love SQL Running ad-hoc search queries and schema updates even if we are not rocket scientists http://2012.nosql-matters.org/cgn/slides/#olaf_bachmann And while JSON queries might be easier parsed by computers SQL is definitely easy to parse for humans So what do we really worry about .

Read Full License Page 1/15 Abstract Introduction High rates of musculoskeletal injuries such as plantar fasciitis and stress fractures have been observed among physically active military personnel. During service time, infantry soldiers use issued boots daily that should be a proper t and provide comfort to effectively prevent injuries and decrease lower extremity pain. This study compares the subjective infantry boot size with optimal size and investigates perceived boot comfort for different boot parts among soldiers with and without a history of lower leg, ankle, and foot overuse injury. Materials/Methods During the cross-sectional study, 227 (males, n=213; females, n=14) active-duty infantry soldiers at a mean age of 29.5 years old, and with an average service time of 7.2 years were assessed for a history of overuse injury, footprint length, appropriate shoe size, and footwear comfort. Males with a history of overuse injury (n=32) and non-injured age-matched controls (n=34) were selected for detailed testing and establishing the possible relationship between footwear comfort and lower leg overuse injury.
