The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

Abstract: Nowadays, everybody uses web applications. Despite of their advantages, like being available at any place with Internet, they have some usability problems with regard to common desktop applications. This article tries to analyze the possible solutions in order to interconnect desktop and web applications, centered in the GNOME platform and using RTM-GLib as example and study case.

A general definition of web service said that it is a system which provides an interface to allow interaction between machines over a network. As time passes more and more web applications provide some kind of API in order to access their services. This number is growing and it seems that will keep growing for some time. Some examples of these applications: Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Web applications has some advantages compared with desktop applications: All the data is shared and in a centralized place. They do not need any special configuration or installation, just a simple web browser is enough.

  • The GNOME Desktop Environment
    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.

  • Evaporites Deposits Evaporites Are Formed in Closed Or Semi-Closed Basins Where Evaporation Exceeds Precipitation (+ Runoff)
    Evaporites deposits Evaporites are formed in closed or semi-closed basins where evaporation exceeds precipitation (+ runoff). Rogers Dry Lake, Mojave Desert, California The Salar de Uyuni Lake in Bolivia (more than 9,000 km2) is the largest salt playa in the world. The salar (salt pan) has about a meter of briny water (blue). In addition to sodium chloride, NaCl (rock salt), and calcium sulfate, CaSO4, the lake also contains lithium chloride, LiCl, making this the biggest source of lithium in the world. http://eps.mcgill.ca/~courses/c542/ 1/42 Chemical Fractionation and the Chemical Divide As a result of evaporation, chemical fractionation takes place between seawater and the remaining concentrated brines. The fractionation can be accounted for by a variety of mechanisms: 1) Mineral precipitation 2) Selective dissolution of efflorescent crusts and sediment coatings 3) Exchange and sorption on active surfaces 4) Degassing 5) Redox reactions Mineral precipitation is the most important and the one that can most easily be modeled. The basic assumption of the model is that minerals will precipitate as the solution becomes saturated with respect to a solid phase. In other words, precipitation occurs when the ion activity product of the solution becomes equal to the solubility constant of the mineral and remains constant upon further evaporation. The fate of seawater constituents upon mineral precipitation rests on the concept of the chemical divide. 2/42 Chemical Divides: Branching points along the path of solution evolution 3/42 Brine evolution and chemical divides 2+ 2- If we monitor the evaporation of a dilute Ca and SO4 solution, their concentrations will increase until we reach gypsum saturation.
