  • Understanding the Linux Kernel
    Understanding the Linux Kernel

    In order to thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it works so well on a wide variety of systems, you need to delve deep into the heart of the kernel.The kernel handles all interactions between the CPU and the external world, and determines which programs will share processor time, in what order.It manages limited memory so well that hundreds of processes can share the system efficiently, and expertly organizes data transfers so that the CPU isn't kept waiting any longer than necessary for the relatively slow disks.The third edition of Understanding the Linux Kernel takes you on a guided tour of the most significant data structures, algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel.Probing beyond superficial features, the authors offer valuable insights to people who want to know how things really work inside their machine. Important Intel-specific features are discussed. Relevant segments of code are dissected line by line.But the book covers more than just the functioning of the code; it explains the theoretical underpinnings of why Linux does things the way it does.This edition of the book covers Version 2.6, which has seen significant changes to nearly every kernel subsystem, particularly in the areas of memory management and block devices.The book focuses on the following topics: * Memory management, including file buffering, process swapping, and Direct memory Access (DMA) * The Virtual Filesystem layer and the Second and Third Extended Filesystems * Process creation and scheduling * Signals, interrupts, and the essential interfaces to device drivers * Timing * Synchronization within the kernel * Interprocess Communication (IPC) * Program execution Understanding the Linux Kernel will acquaint you with all the inner workings of Linux, but it's more than just an academic exercise.You'll learn what conditions bring out Linux's best performance, and you'll see how it meets the challenge of providing good system response during process scheduling, file access, and memory management in a wide variety of environments.This book will help you make the most of your Linux system.

  • The Great Observation Box
    The Great Observation Box

    Gilles Pourtier was welcomed for a year at 3 bis, a contemporary art center located in the heart of the Montperrin psychiatric hospital in Aix-en-Provence. The large repair area is interested in this place of care and its serial architecture, examining the typological variations of the pavilions where the patients are accommodated. The photographs emphasize the repetitive nature and mass production of these buildings, bringing this industrial aesthetic closer to the issues of minimal art.Gilles Pourtier also develops a series of drawings titled Wunderblocks who questions the relationship between buildings and individuals.Multidisciplinarity, defended in this work crossing drawings, photographs, architecture, allows to bring a new look on the subject of psychiatry by focusing on the close relationship between pathologies and environments.The texts of Jean-Christophe Arcos (curator) and Philippe Prost (architect) support and enlighten this approach throughout the book.Gilles Pourtier took part in a one-year artist's residency at 3 bis, a contemporary art center located in Montperrin psychiatric hospital in Aix-en-Provence. The Great Observation Box focuses on this mental health institute and its serial architecture, examining the typological variations of the pavilions where patients are admitted. The photographs underline the repetitive nature and the mass production of these buildings, establishing a parallel between this industrial aesthetic and the issues of minimal art. Gilles Pourtier also developed a series of drawings entitled Wunderblocksthat matters the relationship between built environments and individuals. The multidisciplinary approach in this publication mixes drawings, photographs and architecture. It is a new perspective on the subject of psychiatry by observing the relationship between pathologies and environments.

  • Histories of Scientific Observation
    Histories of Scientific Observation

    Observation is the most pervasive and fundamental practice of all the modern sciences, both natural and human.Its instruments include not only the naked senses but also tools such as the telescope and microscope, the questionnaire, the photographic plate, the notebook, the glassed-in beehive, and myriad other ingenious inventions designed to make the invisible visible, the evanescent permanent, the abstract concrete.Yet observation has almost never been considered as an object of historical inquiry in itself.This wide-ranging collection offers the first examination of the history of scientific observation in its own right, as both epistemic category and scientific practice. "Histories of Scientific Observation" features engaging episodes drawn from across the spectrum of the natural and human sciences, ranging from meteorology, medicine, and natural history to economics, astronomy, and psychology.The contributions spotlight how observers have scrutinized everything - from seaweed to X-ray radiation, household budgets to the emotions - with ingenuity, curiosity, and perseverance verging on obsession. This book makes a compelling case for the significance of the long, surprising, and epistemologically significant history of scientific observation, a history full of innovations that have enlarged the possibilities of perception, judgment, and reason.

Similar search terms for Observation:


  • What is non-participatory observation? What is deliberate observation? What is unintentional observation?

    Non-participatory observation is when the observer remains separate from the group being observed and does not interact with them. This type of observation allows the observer to remain objective and not influence the behavior of the group. Deliberate observation is when the observer intentionally focuses on specific behaviors or aspects of the group being observed. This type of observation is often used in research to gather specific data or insights. Unintentional observation is when the observer passively notices and absorbs information about a group or situation without intentionally focusing on specific aspects. This type of observation can occur in everyday life, such as when someone casually observes the behavior of people in a public setting.

  • Is it "during my observation day," "during my observation day," or "during my observation day"?

    The correct phrase is "during my observation day." This phrase indicates that the action or event is happening at some point in time while you are observing. The use of "during" shows the relationship between the observation day and the action taking place.

  • What are examples of covert observation and overt observation?

    Covert observation involves observing individuals or groups without their knowledge, such as secretly watching people in a public place or using hidden cameras to monitor behavior. Overt observation, on the other hand, involves openly observing individuals or groups with their knowledge and consent, such as conducting interviews or participating in group activities as a researcher. An example of covert observation could be a researcher secretly watching how people interact in a coffee shop, while an example of overt observation could be a researcher openly observing a classroom setting and taking notes on student behavior.

  • What distinguishes systematic observation from participant observation in field research?

    Systematic observation in field research involves the structured and planned collection of data through direct observation of a specific phenomenon, often using predetermined categories or criteria. On the other hand, participant observation involves the researcher immersing themselves in the social setting being studied, actively participating in the activities and interactions of the group being observed. While systematic observation allows for a more objective and standardized approach to data collection, participant observation provides a deeper understanding of the social context and dynamics by experiencing it firsthand. Ultimately, the main distinction lies in the level of involvement and interaction between the researcher and the subjects of the study.

  • What distinguishes systematic observation from participatory observation in field research?

    Systematic observation in field research involves the structured and predetermined collection of data based on specific variables or behaviors of interest. Researchers use predefined criteria to guide their observations and ensure consistency in data collection. On the other hand, participatory observation involves the researcher immersing themselves in the social setting being studied, actively participating in the activities of the group being observed. This approach allows the researcher to gain a deeper understanding of the context and culture of the group, but may be more subjective and less structured compared to systematic observation.
