SAP solutions make customer businesses best-run businesses by providing software solutions to optimize and innovate core businesses processes. The SAP technology platform with ABAP is used to store and process business-critical data (e.g. financial data, human resources data, and customer relationship data) . Therefore, it is crucial that customers secure the SAP technology platform. SAP systems must fulfill compliance regulations, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). More generally, conformance to data protection and privacy laws as well as compliance to industry-specific regulations is required. Since SAP systems run business-critical processes, protecting them from attacks is a vital need.]]>

To protect ABAP systems against unauthorized access and manipulation, security configuration must be applied on different levels (e.g. landscape architecture, operating system, database, SAP Basis, SAP applications, SAP authorizations). SAP and third parties provide comprehensive documentation on how ABAP systems can be secured, e.g. SAP Security Guides, SAP Security Notes, SAP Community Network, and materials in many books.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux has become the optimal platform for the deployment of high-performance, low-cost Oracle database solutions. This whitepaper examines the partnership between Red Hat and Oracle that led to these results and discusses the capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.]]>

Oracle is a Red Hat Premier Partner adding their efforts to the development and optimization of Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the optimal platform for deploying Oracle solutions in the enterprise. As a part of the Unbreakable Linux initiative, Oracle has ported and certified its major applications, including Oracle Database, Oracle Application Server, Oracle Collaboration Suite, the Oracle E-Business Suite, and Oracle Developer Suite, to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Demonstrating its commitment to Linux, Oracle also offers direct operating system and Oracle application support to customers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS and ES.br /br / It is not by accident or without reason that Oracle has placed such a central focus on Linux. Enterprise Linux offers several advantages, key among them the reliability, stability, and capability of UNIX, but on higher-performance, lower-cost industry standard hardware. As a result, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for an Oracle solution is lower on Linux than on other operating systems. The open source nature of Linux offers practical benefits as well. It gives developers such as those at Oracle and other independent software vendors (ISVs) transparency into the inner workings of the operating system. This transparency allows them to more readily tune their applications for optimal performance and reliability.br /br / These advantages led to a natural partnership between Red Hat and Oracle that extends back to the development cycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux v. 2.1 (originally known as Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1) . Working together, Red Hat and Oracle have been progressively adding, testing, and refining the capabilities of the Enterprise Linux operating system. For example, Oracle and Red Hat collaborated on developing and testing asynchronous I/O code for the Linux kernel.br /]]> http://mildpdf.com/programming/oracle-programming/1-manually-create-oracle-9i-database-in-redhat-linux-advanced-server-2-1.html Fri, 27 May 2011 11:45:36 -0400 admin Oracle Programming http://mildpdf.com/programming/oracle-programming/1-manually-create-oracle-9i-database-in-redhat-linux-advanced-server-2-1.html

The Classical Physics Fundamentals Handbook was developed to assist nuclear facility operating contractors provide operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff with the necessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of physical forces and their properties. The handbook includes information on the units used to measure physical properties; vectors, and how they are used to show the net effect of various forces; Newton's Laws of motion, and how to use these laws in force and motion applications; and the concepts of energy, work, and power, and how to measure and calculate the energy involved in various applications. This information will provide personnel with a foundation for understanding the basic operation of various types of DOE nuclear facility systems and equipment.]]>

These handbooks were first published as Reactor Operator Fundamentals Manuals in 1985 for use by DOE Category A reactors. The subject areas, subject matter content, and level of detail of the Reactor Operator Fundamentals Manuals was determined from several sources. DOE Category A reactor training managers determined which materials should be included, and served as a primary reference in the initial development phase. Training guidelines from the commercial nuclear power industry, results of job and task analyses, and independent input from contractors and operations-oriented personnel were all considered and included to some degree in developing the text material and learning objectives.br /br / The DOE Fundamentals Handbooks represent the needs of various DOE nuclear facilities' fundamentals training requirements. To increase their applicability to nonreactor nuclear facilities, the Reactor Operator Fundamentals Manual learning objectives were distributed to the Nuclear Facility Training Coordination Program Steering Committee for review and comment. To update their reactor-specific content, DOE Category A reactor training managers also reviewed and commented on the content. On the basis of feedback from these sources, information that applied to two or more DOE nuclear facilities was considered generic and was included. The final draft of each of these handbooks was then reviewed by these two groups. This approach has resulted in revised modular handbooks that contain sufficient detail such that each facility may adjust the content to fit their specific needs.br /]]> http://mildpdf.com/engineering/mechanical-engineering/continuum-damage-healing-mechanics-with-application-to-self-healing-composites.html Fri, 08 Apr 2011 14:48:37 -0400 admin Mechanical & Industrial Engineering http://mildpdf.com/engineering/mechanical-engineering/continuum-damage-healing-mechanics-with-application-to-self-healing-composites.html

The general behavior of self-healing materials is modeled including both irreversible and healing processes. A constitutive model, based on a continuum thermodynamic framework, is proposed to predict the general response of self-healing materials. The self-healing materials response produces a reduction in size of micro cracks and voids, opposite to damage. The constitutive model, developed in the mesoscale, is based on the proposed Continuum Damage-Healing Mechanics (CDHM) casted in a consistent thermodynamic framework that automatically satisfies the thermodynamic restrictions. ]]>

The degradation and healing evolution variables are obtained introducing proper dissipation potentials, which are motivated by physically based assumptions. An efficient three-step operator slip algorithm, including healing variables, is discussed in order to accurately integrate the coupled elastoplastic-damage-healing constitutive equations. Material parameters are identified by means of simple and effective analytical procedures. Results are shown in order to demonstrate the numerical modeling of healing behavior for damaged polymeric matrix composite. Healed and not healed cases are discussed in order show the model capability and to describe the main governing characteristics concerning the healed systems evolution.br /br / Structural material behavior is dominated by irreversible processes development, such as damage and residual strain release, which reduce the structural integrity and service life. Damage and irreversible deformation phenomena affect the integrity of the material, by creation and coalescence of micro cracks, fiber breaks, fiber matrix debond, etc. The evolution of internal defects produces structural degradation, with consequent stiffness and strength reduction (Dvorak 2000). Once micro-cracks development reaches the critical state, no further stress redistribution occurs, and the material rapidly reaches the failure condition (Aboudi 1991, Pindera 1992; Piggott et al. 2000; Herakovich 1999).br /br / The constitutive relationships and evolution equations define a non-linear differential problem, which is solved by means of a proper numerical algorithm. The main equations are integrated by Euler-backward technique, which is a stable numerical procedure to determine the actual solution by an incremental/iterative method. In particular, an elastic-predictor and Damage-Healing-Plasticity corrector integration scheme is used to solve the incremental nonlinear constitutive equations.br /]]> http://mildpdf.com/engineering/mechanical-engineering/simultaneous-design-for-manufacturing-process-selection-of-engineering-plastics.html Fri, 08 Apr 2011 14:44:59 -0400 admin Mechanical & Industrial Engineering http://mildpdf.com/engineering/mechanical-engineering/simultaneous-design-for-manufacturing-process-selection-of-engineering-plastics.html

This paper describes a methodology that helps designers select a manufacturing process for engineering plastics. For many advanced materials such as plastics, engineers must simultaneously select the material and its processing method while they develop the part geometry. Early comparison and determination of the manufacturing process will allow engineers to tailor the geometry to the selected process. ]]>

The major challenge is to guide the engineers to a set of compatible processes early in the design process at which time some decision factors may still be uncertain. The proposed system uses the concept of design compatibility analysis to represent the suitability of candidate processes with respect to a given part specification. A prototype system called HyperQ/PP uses HyperCard and Prolog to implement the proposed methodology.br /br / Recent developments in materials technology have brought many exciting changes to the field of engineering design. In particular, advances in materials and processing techniques for engineering thermoplastics offer tremendous opportunities in various products. Engineers can benefit from wider freedom in geometry, reduced weight, lower cost, and so on. Unfortunately, most engineers do not have a good understanding of how to design for these materials and do not utilize their full potential. In this light, one of the most important task for engineers is process selection at the early stages of design.br /br / In a traditional design process that targets metals to be machined, engineers start from the component specification, develop a geometry design, and proceed to process planning. However, for engineering plastics, the selection of the processing method places strong constraints on the geometry which designers should use to achieve various functions. Engineers cannot simply convert the geometry for metals to engineering plastics. Some plastic processes can readily produce certain classes of geometry, but it may be very costly, or even impossible, to realize other classes of geometry. Moreover, some processes may be totally incompatible with certain materials. Together with the selection of materials, process selection becomes a very important decision before engineers proceed to the design of detailed geometry. This challenge also applies to advanced materials other than engineering plastics such as composites.br / ]]>
