Books about Repurposing from Amazon.com

Beloved author-illustrator Kate Duke’s charming mice take the stage in a delightful tale of two bickering brothers. Pip and Squeak share a home, but can’t get along. The fumes from Pip’s paintings give his brother fits of coughing, and Squeak’s singing hurts Pip’s ears. Everything the brothers do becomes a competition, including their annual midwinter celebration. Until one year, when their efforts to outdo each other turn into a theatrical collaboration . . . with the best results of all—brotherly love!.

This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A535724. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: New facility construction and existing facility renovation create new or modified operation and maintenance (O&M) requirements for the maintenance responsibility organization such as a Public Works Department (PWD). This O&M requirement is fully described by an Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI) package. OMSI content includes facility, systems, and product information. This thesis will address information integration, the process of allowing information systems to cross-communicate and share data. OMSI information integrated within the framework of a Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) system allows for early identification of O&M requirements, an improved planning capability for new facilities, and more efficient economies of scale. In addition to PWD manpower savings, OMSI-CAFM integration will also allow a revolution in the way O&M requirements are planned and created. Preliminary OMSI information would be ideally created by the design A/E after having considered work force capability from both a workload and expertise perspective. While this may be impractical due to the changing nature of workforce capability and the lengthy planning and design cycle of military construction, OMSI-CAFM integration will certainly allow O&M planning to begin early in the OMSI development stages. OMSI submittals can be layered to provide preliminary planning information in the first submittal and add additional detailed information in later submittals. In such a manner, PWD O&M planners can begin an incremental planning effort early in the facility construction phase..

It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A192814. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Damage control communications should be improved onboard US Navy ships. Current standard operating procedures are antiquated and should be replaced. Wireless networks are an improvement over the status quo and mobile devices other new capabilities that greatly improve the situational awareness for team members. In this thesis, a system architecture is designed for a damage control wireless local area network with Commercial-Off-The-Shelf components. This makes the system affordable and prevents previous miscommunications from occurring. This architecture will meet the following requirements: operate in a shipboard environment, multi- purpose, multi-user, scalable, resilient, mobility, and secure..

It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A226483. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Virtual environments have achieved widespread use in the military in applications such as theater planning, training, and architectural walkthroughs. These applications are generally expensive and inflexible in design and implementation. Re-purposing these applications to meet the dynamic modeling and simulation needs of the military can be awkward or impossible. Video games are designed to be both technologically advanced and flexible in design. We evaluated current games and modified Quake 3 Arena(Q3A) to serve as both an architectural walkthrough and a primitive team trainer. To accomplish this, we incorporated a real Naval Postgraduate School building into Q3A. We also modified the game's source code, characters and their behaviors, weapons models and characteristics, and overall game play. By re-purposing commercial entertainment software, we have produced a viable military virtual environment application that is less expensive yet arguably as engaging as current computer- based options. This application was created in approximately 300 man-hours with a cost of $6780 (including hardware); far less than the development time and cost of similar military virtual environment applications. Game evaluations included in this thesis facilitate and inform similar modification efforts by highlighting entertainment technology available in the year 2000 game market..

It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A968924. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis proposes a design for content repurposing of electrical diagrams for presentation in small-screen wireless handheld devices. Content repurposing is the on-line adaptation of content to fit device capabilities and user's preferences. The focus of this thesis is on electrical diagrams of the schematic type used for maintenance purposes. Nevertheless, many of the proposed techniques are suitable for other technical drawings as well. A significant amount of work has been done in summarization of Web documents and in diagram recognition, but not for presentation of diagrams in handheld devices. In the design proposed here, techniques are proposed for understanding the semantics of electrical diagrams and for partitioning the drawing images in intelligent ways to formulate coherent units for presentation to the user..
