An ETL (or ELT, if you focus on Oracle Data Integrator) tool will perform the BI data integration process. In this way, the Data becomes accessible to the BI solution's end user. The data warehouse is the central point of the BI solution. This contains structured data–detailed and consistent–for query analysis, and provides support for all BI operations from data mining to reporting. Unli…

If you’ve ever wondered how light can ferry vast amounts of information across huge distances, wonder no more. This book is just for you. Here, you discover how science and technology enable modern networks to convey humongous hunks of information (more than the entire contents of the Library of Congress, every second) hither, thither, and yon. Though optical networking may sound esoteric, i…
The present decade has seen a blossoming of software tools, research pro- jects, and everyday practice that can loosely be characterized under the heading of ‘online deliberation’. A community has formed around this con- cept, and has met in international conferences, workshops, and special in- terest group sessions. The present volume, which grew out of the Second Conference on Online Deli…
South Asia comprises the states of Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Bhutan, Pakistan, Nepal and Afghanistan. It is an area of enormous opportunity, staggering diversity but also pervasive poverty and instability. Home to 1.64 billion people – roughly 24 per cent of the world’s population – South Asia is an important and emerging market that has averaged an impressive rate of re…
At the time of my last period of fieldwork in Madagascar,1 Brika was seventeen. I had invited him to my house to participate in the study I was conducting about death and the ancestors (cf. Harris, Chapter 2). As with all other participants, I introduced Brika to the task by telling him that I was going to narrate a short story followed by several questions. I reassured him that these questions…
Before we dive into Odoo development, we need to set up our development environment, and you need to learn the basic administration tasks for it. In this chapter, you will learn how to set up the work environment, where we will later build our Odoo applications. You will also learn how to set up a Debian or Ubuntu system to host our development server instances, and how to install Odoo from the…
A liability is an existing debt or obligation of a company. It is an amount owed to a third-party creditor that requires something of value, usually cash, to be transferred to the creditor to settle the debt. Most obligations are known amounts based on invoices and con- tracts; some liabilities are estimated because the value that changes hands is not fixed at the time of the initial transactio…
Istarted researching this book in 1997 as I watched the East Asian currency crisis unfold. I was writing my doctoral dissertationatOxfordUniversityontheroleofSiliconValley firms and the United States government in that regional crisis. At the time, I saw the crisis across the Pacific as, in part, an American crisis. We had contributed to the East Asian Miracle, while at the same time cre…
The landmark approval of a health claim for oats in 1997 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marked the first food specific health claim. The FDA had concluded that an intake of at least glucan from oats as part of a diet low in saturated fats could help reduce the risk of heart disease (Chapter 17). Of importance is that the oat health claim signifies for the first time…
This handbook is intended as a reference for financial managers, credit and security analysts, bankers, lawyers, accountants, auditors, and educators, whose decisions en- compass the international dimensions of financial analysis, reporting, and control. It expands and updates the topical coverage of its award-winning predecessor, The Handbook of International Accounting, and, in its second e…
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been an important analytical and qualitative tool in chemistry, material science, and organic geochemistry for quite some time, and now is becoming recognized as a valuable tool in environmental science and technology. Because it is a non- destructive and element-specific probe, it is useful for examining a myriad of environmental reactions occu…
Although the two terms “technology” and “engineering” are interlaced, the prin- ciples of each subject and their capabilities are quite different. Generally, de fi nition of technology is broader than that of engineering, and from a normative standpoint, it is a part of coevolution process with society (Keulartz et al. 2004). Technology emerges from ideas and wills for creating and u…
When building a new application, often one of the first things you’ll want to do is to design its data model. In relational databases such as MySQL, this step is formalized in the process of normalization, focused on removing redundancy from a set of tables. MongoDB, unlike relational databases, stores its data in structured documents rather than the fixed tables required in relational databa…
By its very nature, a very large distributed,decentralized,self-organized,and evolving system necessarily yields uncertain and incomplete measurements and data.Probability and statistics are the fundamental mathematical tools that allow us to model, reason and proceed with inference in uncertain environments. Not only are probabilistic methods needed to deal with noisy measurements, but many of…
Logical complexity of software systems is one of the main factors causing problems and errors in their planning, design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance, and use. There is a common under- standing that building complex software systems requires careful planning, good architectural design, and well-controlled development processes. Many good books and papers, as well as all softwar…
