" Electronic Security Systems " is a book written to help the security professional understand the various electronic security functional components and the ways these components interconnect. Providing a holistic approach to solving security issues, this book discusses such topics as integrating electronic functions, developing a system, component philosophy, possible long-term issues, and the culture within a corporation. The book uses a corporate environment as its example; however, the basic issues can be applied to virtually any environment.
For a security professional to be effective, he or she needs to understand the electronics as they are integrated into a total security system. " Electronic Security Systems " allows the professional to do just that, and is an invaluable addition to any security library.
* Provides a well-written and concise overview of electronic security systems and their functions

The objective of this Rapid Start Guide RSG] is to 'jump start you' on your path to becoming successful in fiber optic installation. This RSG will 'jump start' you by providing two types of information. The first type is the basic information the installer must have to get started in fiber optic installation. Without this information, the installer will have little chance of achieving the three goals of installation. The second type of information is the more subtle information that the installer must have to be consistently successful as a professional installer. In addition, this subtle information enables the installer to troubleshoot problems. As this is a Rapid Start Guide (RSG), it will provide the first type and a list of the information of the second type. See 'Other Terms' for a list of this subtle, but essential information. This Guide will reference the Building Wiring Standard, TIA/EIA-568-C, which is the latest version of the document used by most data network designers to design and implement their data networks.

The primary objective of this report is to describe the effectiveness of two prefabricated-treatment devices in removing a suite of inorganic and organic water-quality constituents from stormwater runoff. This report also describes methods and techniques used to determine the effectiveness of these devices. Detailed data describing water quality, flow, constituent loads, and removal efficiencies are presented for inlet and outlet samples collected between June 2002 and October 2004. Another objective of this report is to add to the understanding of stormwater-runoff quality and quantity in an urban environment.
