Create a superclass constructor; call this from the subclass methods. more… Two subclasses have the same field. Move the field to the superclass. more… You have methods with identical results on subclasses. Move them to the superclass. more… A field is used only by some subclasses. Move the field to those subclasses. more… Behavior on a superclass is relevant only for some of its subclasses. Move it to those subclasses. more… You have conditional code that is unnecessarily verbose and does not use the most readable Ruby construct. Replace the conditional code with the more idiomatic Ruby construct. more… Remove Assignments to Parameters The code assigns to a parameter. Use a temporary variable instead. more… You have a variable that is acting as a control flag for a series of boolean expressions.

Use a break or return instead. C Programming Notes. Professional Education creates Online X Programs and launches big data course. MIT will offer its first online professional course, Tackling the Challenges of Big Data, to a global audience beginning March 4.

Professional Education creates Online X Programs and launches big data course

The four-week online course, aimed at technical professionals and executives, will tackle state-of-the-art topics in big data ranging from data collection, storage, and processing to analytics and visualization, as well as address a range of real-world applications. Leading the course will be 12 faculty experts from the world-renowned MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at the School of Engineering.

The course will be offered through MIT Professional Education, the arm of MIT that provides professional education and training for science, engineering, and technology professionals worldwide. It will be the first of a new line of professional programs called Online X Programs, to be delivered globally using the open-source online education platform edX. R tutorials and Data Analysis Courses. POSIX Threads Programming. Table of Contents In shared memory multiprocessor architectures, threads can be used to implement parallelism.

POSIX Threads Programming

Historically, hardware vendors have implemented their own proprietary versions of threads, making portability a concern for software developers. For UNIX systems, a standardized C language threads programming interface has been specified by the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c standard. Implementations that adhere to this standard are referred to as POSIX threads, or Pthreads.

The tutorial begins with an introduction to concepts, motivations, and design considerations for using Pthreads. Level/Prerequisites: This tutorial is ideal for those who are new to parallel programming with pthreads. What is a Thread? Technically, a thread is defined as an independent stream of instructions that can be scheduled to run as such by the operating system.

An ever increasing rise in global population and development increases demands on global energy supplies.

MSc in Biofuels Process Engineering - Postgraduate Education - Cranfield University, UK

Globally, energy security has been at the forefront of political debate. The EU has set ambitious targets on renewable energy where members must achieve 20% of energy from renewable sources by 2020. Large developed nations such as China and the USA have high carbon emissions and are under pressure to put a price on carbon. This has led to renewed focus on developing alternatives to fossil derived fuels from more secure and sustainable sources. This will only be achieved through research and development of novel technologies where bioenergy and biofuels become an intrinsic part of the renewable energy mix for power generation and transport fuel.

As a "part of speech" transition words are used to link words, phrases or sentences.

Transition Words & Phrases

They help the reader to progress from one idea (expressed by the author) to the next idea. Thus, they help to build up coherent relationships within the text. Transitional Words This structured list of commonly used English transition words — approximately 200, can be considered as quasi complete. It can be used (by students and teachers alike) to find the right expression. There is some overlapping with prepositions and postpositions, but for the purpose of usage and completeness of this concise guide, I did not differentiate. Agreement / Addition / Similarity The transition words like also, in addition, and, likewise, add information, reinforce ideas, and express agreement with preceding material. in the first place not only ... but also as a matter of fact in like manner in addition coupled with in the same fashion / way.
