IAM and PAM Cybersecurity: Securing Identities and Access Management in the Digitalization Era (Apress Pocket Guides)
by Massimo NardoneIn today&’s digital age, organizations face growing cyber threats targeting user identities and access credentials. Identity and Access Management (IAM) helps secure identities, manage privileges, and enforce security policies—making it essential for zero-trust security, compliance, and efficiency. Privileged Access Management (PAM), a specialized branch of IAM, focuses on protecting and monitoring privileged accounts such as administrators, root users, and service accounts. Because these accounts have elevated access, they are prime targets for cyberattacks. Together, IAM and PAM safeguard access to systems, applications, and data, playing a vital role in cloud security, IoT, and enterprise environments by preventing unauthorized access and mitigating insider threats. Readers will learn: · Why securing identities is critical today · <span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor

Introduction to Inverse Problems for Evolution Equations: Stability and Uniqueness by Carleman Estimates (Lecture Notes of the Unione Matematica Italiana #29)
by Masahiro YamamotoAmong several main formulations, the book treats inverse problems with single measurements by Carleman estimates and describes a method for proving the uniqueness and the stability for the first-order transport equations, parabolic equations, and hyperbolic equations. The book gives self-contained derivations of Carleman estimates, which do not rely on any general theory and simplified application method of the Carleman estimates to the inverse problems. Thus, the target audience is graduate students of faculty of sciences and interested graduate students from engineering fields. The book tries to limit the preliminary knowledge to a standard 4-year undergraduate course. In order to master the methodology, we restrict equations within first-order transport equations, parabolic equations and hyperbolic equations, but it is expected to apply the same methods for other evolution equations such as fluid dynamics.

Vintage Woodworking Machinery
by Dana Martin BatoryHere is the second volume in Dana Batory?s series of guides to the major woodworking machinery manufacturers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Covered in this volume are Parks Machine Co., the Boice-Crane Co., Baxter D. Whitney & Son, and Crescent Machine Co. All these manufacturers built a full line of woodworking machines, but most became especially known for a particular group, e.g., Boice-Crane produced medium size and capacity machines that were ideal for home shops, school shops and small business woodworkers; Whitney was famous for its thickness planers and spindle shapers, as well as for a large collection of cooperage machines; and Crescent won renown for its bandsaws and table saws, and for its Universal Wood-Worker, a combination machine. As in his first volume, the author provides a history of each manufacturer, as well as a description of the evolution of its product lines over the years. Accompanying the histories are many illustrations taken from the catalogs of the period. This is a mine of information about old woodworking machines and the companies that made them.
Through Blood & Fire
by Mark Nesbit Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain• Includes all of Chamberlain's known wartime letters• Shows his transformation from college professor to major general• Original writings placed into context by historian Mark NesbittIn July 1862 Joshua Chamberlain, a family man and respected professor at Bowdoin College in Maine, joined the fight to preserve the Union. His wartime service was exemplary; he is perhaps best remembered for his outstanding leadership at Gettysburg. At all times, however, he fought bravely and well, even at Petersburg in 1864 where he received the wound that was to torment him until his death in 1914.Throughout his time in the field, Chamberlain wrote letters of recommendation to his superiors, letters of condolence to the families of soldiers killed while under his command, and letters to his family at home. All are well written, revealing the professor's educated background and elegant prose. Nesbitt's notes set the scene, place Chamberlain's writings within the larger context of the war, and make clear the General's sterling character and his sacrifices for the country he loved.

Novel Approaches in Cancer Treatment: Tumor Targeted Therapy (Handbook of Cancer and Immunology #8)
by Nima RezaeiThe rapid flow of studies in the field of cancer and immunology during the last decades has increased our understanding of the interactions between the immune system and cancerous cells. In particular, it has been well-known that such interactions result in the induction of epigenetic changes in cancerous cells and the selection of less immunogenic clones as well as alterations in immune responses. Understanding the crosstalk between nascent transformed cells and cells of the immune system has led to the development of combinatorial immunotherapeutic strategies to combat cancer. The Handbook of Cancer and Immunology offers a comprehensive and up-to-date review of cancer immunology and immunotherapy, emphasizing key findings and clinically relevant data. This reference work is an essential resource for researchers, students, academics, and clinicians committed to advancing knowledge, diagnostics, and treatments in this vital field.
