From the back cover:
Eager to learn Visual C# programming? This unique book-and-DVD package presents easy-to-follow lessons, reinforced by step-by-step instructions, screencasts, and supplemental exercises to help you master Visual C# programming quickly. You'll first discover how to write, debug, and run desktop applications that interact with the user and the computer. You'll then progress to more advanced lessons that teach you how to apply object-oriented concepts, perform calculations, manipulate files and strings, interact with simple databases, and more. All of this will give you the skills to write your own, customized Visual C# programs.
Stephens's C# Programming with Visual Studio 2010 24-Hour Trainer:
Shows you how to use the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) and the controls that make up a user interface
Demonstrates what variables are and how a program uses them to calculate results
Describes techniques for controlling a program's flow, making decisions, and repeating operations
Explores how to create and use advanced class features such as generics and operator overloading
Highlights steps that enable a program to interact with the operating system
Walks you through the basics of database programming
Introduction to Time Series Modeling
Author(s): Genshiro Kitagawa
Publisher: Chapman and Hall/CRC
Date : 2010
Pages : 296
Format : PDF
Language : English
ISBN : 1584889217
In time series modeling, the behavior of a certain phenomenon is expressed in relation to the past values of itself and other covariates. Since many important phenomena in statistical analysis are actually time series and the identification of conditional distribution of the phenomenon is an essential part of the statistical modeling, it is very important and useful to learn fundamental methods of time series modeling. Illustrating how to build models for time series using basic methods, Introduction to Time Series Modeling covers numerous time series models and the various tools for handling them.
The book employs the state-space model as a generic tool for time series modeling and presents convenient recursive filtering and smoothing methods, including the Kalman filter, the non-Gaussian filter, and the sequential Monte Carlo filter, for the state-space models. Taking a unified approach to model evaluation based on the entropy maximization principle advocated by Dr. Akaike, the author derives various methods of parameter estimation, such as the least squares method, the maximum likelihood method, recursive estimation for state-space models, and model selection by the Akaike information criterion (AIC). Along with simulation methods, he also covers standard stationary time series models, such as AR and ARMA models, as well as nonstationary time series models, including the locally stationary AR model, the trend model, the seasonal adjustment model, and the time-varying coefficient AR model.
With a focus on the description, modeling, prediction, and signal extraction of times series, this book provides basic tools for analyzing time series that arise in real-world problems. It encourages readers to build models for their own real-life problems.

Excel Data Analysis: Modeling and Simulation
Author(s): Hector Guerrero
Publisher: Springer
Date : 2010
Pages : 338
Format : PDF
Language : English
ISBN : 3642108342
This book is written for the students and practitioners who are looking for a single introductory Excel-based resource that covers three essential business and analytical skills—Data Analysis, Business Modeling, and Simulation of Complex Problems. The focus of the book is clearly on analysis of problems for decision making, yet detailed explanations regarding how to use Excel tools are provided. After many years of teaching and consulting, it is abundantly clear to me that for most students, a good example is worth its weight in gold. This book contains many excellent examples in each chapter, some simple and others more complex, and there is an abundance of exhibits to guide the student through the maze of steps necessary for each analysis.
The content is quite diverse: data presentation — the Feng Shui of spreadsheets, effective communication and collaboration, data preparation — import, scrub, manipulate data, data analysis — statistical methods: descriptive, inferential, and predictive, Design of Experiments, modeling — deterministic, probabilistic, What-if, Scenarios, simulation — quantifying uncertainty, Monte Carlo Simulation, optimization — constrained, Linear Programming, non-linear models, Goal Seek.
Couple these features with detailed discussions of how to realistically organize and extract insight from complex problems, and I believe you have a unique educational combination in one book.

I'm looking for "K. Tokimatsu (1995) : Geotechnical Site Characterization Using Surface Waves, Proc., First Int. Conf. on Earthquake Geotechnical Engrg., 3, , 1333-1368."
Does anyone have it?
Looking for UK National Annex to Eurocode 1: Actions on structures. At that stage I have only the following UK Annexes:
Part 1-1: General actions - Densities, self-weight, imposed loads for buildings
Part 1-3: General actions - Snow loads
Part 1-5: General actions - Thermal actions
Part 2: Traffic loads on bridges
Badly needed:
Part 1-4: General actions - Wind actions
And other remaining...
