With growing memory sizes and memory prices dropping by a factor of 10 every 5 years, data having a “primary home” in memory is now a reality. Main-memory databases eschew many of the traditional architectural pillars of relational database systems that optimized for disk-resident data. The result of these memory-optimized designs are systems that feature several innovative approaches to fundamental issues (e.g., concurrency control, query processing) that achieve orders of magnitude performance improvements over traditional designs. This monograph provides an overview of recent developments in main-memory database systems. It covers five main issues and architectural choices that need to be made when building a high performance main-memory optimized database: data organization and storage, indexing, concurrency control, durability and recovery techniques, and query processing and compilation. The monograph focuses on four commercial and research systems: H-StoreA/oltDB, Hekaton, HyPer, and SAPHANA. These systems are diverse in their design choices and form a representative sample of the state of the art in main-memory database systems. It also covers other commercial and academic systems, along with current and future research trends.

Ihre Kunst, die nichts mit Lug und Trug zu tun hat, findet kreative Umwege, ungewöhnliche Lösungen und schonende Kompromisse. Diese Kunst der sanften Sieger können Sie lernen, wenn Sie zwanzig Gesetze befolgen, mit denen Sie Mitmenschen, Mitarbeiter und Gegner für sich und Ihre Sache gewinnen.
Te Ao O Te Maori looks at the first New Zealanders who came in canoes from an ancestral home somewhere in the Pacific called Hawaiki. With their oral traditions and their closeness to their ancestors they can be called ‘Nga Tamariki a Maui’ – the children of Maui. New Zealand was very different to Hawaiki. In New Zealand nga tamariki a Maui had to make many social changes. They had to work out a partnership with the land which gave them everything they needed to survive. They came to be the tangata whenua – the people of the land.
Die rührend-komische Geschichte eines Jungen, der ein Murmeltier sein wollte, wenigstens einen Winter lang. Franz und das Murmeltier Albert sind unzertrennlich - bis der erste Schnee fällt, da ist Albert auf einmal spurlos verschwunden. Das sei ganz normal bei Murmeltieren, sagt Franz' Vater, die hielten nämlich Winterschlaf. Hört sich anstrengend an, denkt Franz, aber was sein Freund Albert aushält, schafft er auch: Er wird Winterschlaf halten, oben auf dem Dachboden, in einer großen alten Kiste. Jedenfalls wird er's versuchen ... Ein Lehrstück über Natur und Freundschaft des bekannten Künstlers Hans Traxler.
Geoffrey Chaucer var et skvat og Leonardo da Vinci en overvurderet hegnsmaler. Gamle Franz kan recitere Shakespeare, udlufte bremser og spille en habil sonate på blokfløjte. Det hele bedre end de fleste og på den halve tid. Han kan fortælle 1000 eventyr, endnu flere løgne og er Messias selv, når det kommer til fuldemandskvad. Han kender alle dambrug på denne side af Ejderen, kan rydde et skumdiskotek på en time og skyder fornuftigt med både seksløber, Stinger-missiler og slangebøsse. Så hvis du er i tvivl om, hvad Franz kan gøre for dig, så spørg hellere dig selv, hvad du kan gøre for Franz? Eller hvad vi kan gøre for hinanden? Er du klar, min dreng, til at tage en svingom? Da den 14-årige enspænder, Max, en dag får en kat af sine forældre, ændres hans liv. Franz er nemlig ikke som nogen anden kat, og snart er Max viklet dybt ind i de mystiske og vanvittige ting, der omgiver katten. En situation der rykker ved hans virkelighed og alt, han nogensinde har lært. Inden længe er Max kastet ud i et skørt eventyr, der leger med de mægtigste kræfter i universet, imens han samtidig forsøger at holde styr på alle kattens vanvittige lektioner om livet, om verdensordenen, og om hvordan man bedst spiser grillmad. En ældgammel fejde, farverige fjender og en småpsykotisk storesøster er alle ingredienser i, hvad der hurtigt bliver starten på en historie, verden aldrig har set magen til. Mikkel Wendelboe, f. 1988, uddannet i kommunikation og geografi fra Roskilde Universitet. Arbejder som TV-vært, forfatter, kommentator og journalist.
Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) was always a controversial figure, as was his doctrine, later called phrenology. Although often portrayed as a discredited buffoon, who believed he could assess a person's strengths and weaknesses by measuring cranial bumps, he was, in fact, a serious physician-scientist, who strove to answer timely questions about the mind, brain, and behavior. In many ways a remarkable visionary, his seminal ideas would become tenets of modern behavioral neuroscience. Among other things, he was the first scientist to promote publicly the idea of specialized cortical areas for diverse higher functions, while taking metaphysics out of his new science of mind. Moreover, although he obviously placed too much emphasis on "tell-tale" skull features (mistakenly believing that the cranium faithfully reflects the features of underlying brain areas), he fully understood the strength of "convergent operations," conducting neuroanatomical, developmental, cross-species, gender-comparison, and brain-damage studies on both humans and animals in his attempts to unravel the mysteries of brain organization. Rather than looking upon Gall's "organology" as one of science's great mistakes, this book provides a fresh look at the man and his doctrine. The authors delve into his motives, what was known about the brain during the 1790s, and the cultural demands of his time. Gall is rightfully presented as an early-19th-century biologist, anthropologist, philosopher, and physician with an inquisitive mind and a challenging agenda--namely, how to account for species and individual differences in behavior. In this well-researched book, readers learn why, starting as a young physician in Vienna and continuing his life's work in Paris, he chose to study the mind and the brain, why he employed his various methods, why he relied so heavily on cranial features, and why he wrote what he did in his books. Frequently using Gall's own words, they show his impact in various domains, including his approach to the insane and criminals, before concluding with his final illness and more lasting legacy.
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was born in Vienna of immigrant parents. During his short life he produced an astonishing amount of music. Symphonies, chamber music, opera, church music, and songs (more than 600 of them) poured forth in profusion. His 'Trout' Quintet, his 'Unfinished' Symphony, the three last piano sonatas, and above all his song cycles Die Schone Mullerin and Winterreise have come to be universally regarded as belonging to the very greatest works of music. Who was the man who composed this amazing succesion of masterpieces, so many of which were either entirely ignored or regarded as failures during his lifetime? In her new biography, Elizabeth Norman McKay paints a vivid portrait of Schubert and his world. She explores his family background, his education and musical upbringing, his friendships, and his brushes and flirtations with the repressive authorities of Church and State. She discusses his experience of the arts, literature and theatre, and his relations with the professional and amateur musical world of his day. Schubert's manic-depressive temperament became of increasing significance in his life, and McKay shows how it was partly responsible for his social inadequacies, professional ineptitude, and idiosyncracies in his music. She examines Schubert's uneven physical decline after he contracted syphilis, traces its affect on his music, his hedonism, and sensuality.
"The Shaping of American Anthropology is a book which is outstanding in many respects. Stocking is probably the leading authority on Franz Boas; he understands Boas's contributions to American anthropology, as well as anthropology in general, very well. . . . He is, in a word, the foremost historian of anthropology in the world today. . . . The reader is both a collection of Boas's papers and a solid 23-page introduction to giving the background and basic assumptions of Boasian anthropology."—David Schneider, University of Chicago "While Stocking has not attempted to present a person biography, nevertheless Boas's personal characteristics emerge not only in his scholarly essays, but perhaps more vividly in his personal correspondence. . . . Stocking is to be commended for collecting this material together in a most interesting and enjoyable reader."—Gustav Thaiss, American Anthropologist
Franz Rosenzweig's near-conversion to Christianity in the summer of 1913 and his subsequent decision three months later to recommit himself to Judaism is one of the foundational narratives of modern Jewish thought. In this new account of events, Benjamin Pollock suggests that what lay at the heart of Rosenzweig's religious crisis was not a struggle between faith and reason, but skepticism about the world and hope for personal salvation. A close examination of this important time in Rosenzweig's life, the book also sheds light on the full trajectory of his philosophical development.
