essential to linear systems theory are emphasized. The emphasis is on time-invariant systems, both continuous- and
discrete-time. A Linear Systems Primer is geared towards first-year graduate and senior undergraduate students in a typical
one-semester introductory course on systems and control. It may also serve as an excellent reference or self-study guide
for electrical, mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineers, applied mathematicians, and researchers working in control,
communications, and signal processing.

About the Book
Practical Load Balancing starts by introducing key concepts and the tools you’ll need to tackle your load-balancing issues. You’ll
travel through the IP layers and learn how they can create increased network traffic for you. You’ll see how to account for persistence
and state, and how you can judge the performance of scheduling algorithms. You’ll then learn how to avoid performance degradation
and any risk of the sudden disappearance of a service on a server. If you’re concerned with running your load balancer for an entire
network, you’ll find out how to set up your network topography, and condense each topographical variety into recipes that will
serve you in different situations. You’ll also learn about individual servers, and load balancers that can perform cookie insertion or
improve your SSL throughput. You’ll also explore load balancing in the modern context of the cloud. While load balancers need to be
configured for high availability once the conditions on the network have been created, modern load balancing has found its way into
the cloud, where good balancing is vital for the very functioning of the cloud, and where IPv6 is becoming ever more important.

GIMP for Absolute Beginners
Jan Smith; Roman Joost
About the Book
GIMP is a powerful open source graphics and digital imaging application with almost all the features of its proprietary counterpart,
Photoshop. But many of us are photographers and artists first, and we like to use our tools without having to think about them too
much. GIMP for Absolute Beginners gets us to this stage without patronising users who haven’t used GIMP before. But what can we
actually do with photos and graphical images? These questions are answered in a photo projects chapter as well as a chapter on
digital painting: Starting with making small changes to photos and adding information to them to creating paintings and drawings
without photographic input. GIMP for Absolute Beginners covers the newest version of GIMP, version 2.8, so you can be sure the book
covers the latest GIMP features.
Contents
What is GIMP? - Finding and Installing GIMP - Getting to Know the GIMP Work Area - Basic Computer Graphics in GIMP - Editing the
whole Image - Improving Photos—Working on Parts of an Image - Photo Projects—Adding to Images - Installing a Graphics Tablet in
GIMP - Digital Art - Hints, Tips and Further Help.
