UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE • John T. Connor, Secretary NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS • A. V. Astin, Director Guide To Instrumentation Literature Julian F. Smith and W. G. Brombacher National Bureau of Standards Miscellaneous Publication 271 (Supersedes Circular 567) Issued July 7, 1965 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. , 20402 Price 31.25 ' FOREWORD In 19U5 the Instruments and Regulations Division, American Society of Mech- anical Engineers (A5ME), issued a pamphlet, Sources of Information on Instru- ments . In 195>2 Julian F. Smith of the Library of Congress prepared a guide and source list, Instrumentation Literature and its Use , for the Office of Basic Instrumentation, National Bureau of Standards. Revision of the two publications was undertaken jointly by AS ME and NBS, and the result was issued in 1955 as NBS Circular 567, Guide to Instrumentation Literature . Lyman Van der Pyl, for the Bibliography Committee of the Instru- ments and Regulators Division, ASME, participated in the revision. The Smith report was thoroughly revised, enlarged, and updated, but its list of instru- ment manufacturers (readily available elsewhere) was dropped. The present Monograph is a revision of Circular 567. The announced ob- jective of Circular 567 was to assist all persons "interested in utilizing the extensive and scattered literature of instrumentation." With the same objec- tive, this revision has brought its literature coverage into 196)4, while drop- ping older references now aging into obsolescence. The revision is part of a program of instrumentation research and development in the Basic Instrumenta- tion Section under Joshua Stern, chief of the section. A. V. Astin, Director.

  • The Politics of Privatization and Restructuring in Germany
    4^ ^ >v •> Dii.'^.^/ HD28 .M414 The Politics of Privatization and Restructuring in Germany Lufthansa and Deutsche Teleliom J. Nicholas Ziegler Revised October 1997 WP# 3880 Sloan School of Management Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, E52-581 Cambridge, MA 02142-1347 tel. 617-253-3698 fax 617-253-2660 [email protected] The privatization of public service companies offers an excellent case for assessing pressures for institutional convergence versus the staying power of distinctive national economic institutions in the advanced industrial countries. This paper examines the privatization of Lufthansa and Deutsche Telekom in order to see whether changes in enterprise ownership reflect a process of convergence in the rules of coiporate governance. While the outward form of privatization in Germany looks quite similar to privatization in Britain and the United States, these two cases show little evidence that the change in ownership is driving any formal changes in corporate governance. If anything, German financial institutions and trade unions continue to exercise distinctive roles that rest on their historical positions in the German economy. FEB 081998 LIBPARtCS Politics and Privatization in Germany Lufthansa and Deutsche Telekom J. Nicholas Ziegler Introduction Recent changes in the world economy have prompted scholars and practitioners to ask whether all countries are converging on a single most efficient set of institutions for economic management.

    DESIGN OF AN EEG SYSTEM TO RECORD TMS EVOKED POTENTIALS DESIGN OF AN ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY SYSTEM TO RECORD TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION EVOKED POTENTIALS '\.., By MARK ARCHAMBEAULT, B.ENG.M. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Applied Science McMaster University © Copyright by Mark Archambeault, August 2007 M.A.Sc. Thesis - M. Archambeault McMaster University - Electrical and Conymter Engineering Master of Applied Science (2007) McMaster University (Electrical Engineering) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Design of an Electroencephalography System to Record Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Evoked Potentials AUTHOR: Mark Archambeault, B.Eng.M. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. H. de Bruin NUMBEROFPAGES:xv, 106 11 M.A.Sc. Thesis - M. Archambeault McMaster University - Electrical and Conmuter Engineering Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to design, build and test a prototype artifact suppressing electroencephalogram data acquisition system (AS-EEG-DAQ-S) to collect electroencephalogram (EEG) evoked potential (EP) data during repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) without the EEG signal being masked by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) artifact. A functional AS-EEG-DAQ-S capable of blocking TMS artifact would provide for the first time a quantitative measurement system to assist in optimal TMS coil positioning during the rTMS treatment of depression, an alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). This thesis provides the details for an AS-EEG­ DAQ-S. Preliminary TMS EP results on a human subject were collected. Results showed transcallosal conduction times of 12ms to 31ms, which are consistent with those predicted and collected by other researchers in the TMS field. The first portion of this work provides electrode heating data for modem rTMS paradigms for the recording ofEEG during rTMS.

The case study covers telephone policy debates in France and Germany in five time periods fi*om 1876 until 1997: the ‘consolidation phase’ (1876 - 1900); the 1920s; the post-Second World War years; the debates leading up to corporatisation in the 1980s; and the debates around opening for full competition in the 1990s. The analytical framework is founded in writings on state traditions and on the role of ideas and discourse in policymaking. The study’s object of investigation, ‘sectoral state traditions’, is developed to allow for comparison both longitudi­ nally within one country and cross-nationally.

  • Systems Development Life Cycle
    Systems Development Life Cycle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see SDLC (disambiguation). Model of the Systems Development Life Cycle with the Maintenance bubble highlighted. The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), or Software Development Life Cycle in systems engineering, information systems and software engineering, is the process of creating or altering systems, and the models and methodologies that people use to develop these systems. The concept generally refers to computer or information systems. In software engineering the SDLC concept underpins many kinds of software development methodologies. These methodologies form the framework for planning and controlling the creation of an information system[1]: the software development process.

Any SDLC should result in a high quality system that meets or exceeds customer expectations, reaches completion within time and cost estimates, works effectively and efficiently in the current and planned Information Technology infrastructure, and is inexpensive to maintain and cost-effective to enhance.[2] Computer systems are complex and often (especially with the recent rise of Service-Oriented Architecture) link multiple traditional systems potentially supplied by different software vendors.
