  • 41 managerialism

    Gen Mgt
    emphasis on efficient management, and the use of systems, planning, and management practice. Managerialism is often used in a critical sense, especially from the perspective of the public sector, to imply overenthusiasm for efficiency, or private sector management techniques and systems, possibly at the expense of service, or quality considerations. The term is also used to describe confrontational attitudes, or actions displayed by management toward labor unions.

    Та часть системы массового обслуживания, в которую поступает поток требований (заявок); может состоять из одного или нескольких «приборов», «каналов«, под которыми понимаются устройства или люди, осуществляющие акт обслуживания. В первом случае Б.о. называется одноканальным, во втором – многоканальным.

    Основы клиент-серверных технологий

    Сейчас мы хотим уточнить, что же такое сервер, какие функции он выполняет и какие вообще бывают серверы. Если речь идет о сервере, невольно всплывает в памяти понятие клиента. Все потому, что эти два понятия неразрывно связаны. Объединяет их компьютерная архитектура клиент-сервер. Обычно, когда говорят «сервер», имеют в виду сервер в архитектуре клиент-сервер, а когда говорят «клиент» – имеют в виду клиент в этой же архитектуре. Так что же это за архитектура? Суть ее в том, чтобы разделить функции между двумя подсистемами: клиентом, который отправляет запрос на выполнение каких-либо действий, и сервером, который выполняет этот запрос. Взаимодействие между клиентом и сервером происходит посредством стандартных специальных протоколов, таких как TCP/IP и z39.50. На самом деле протоколов очень много, они различаются по уровням. Мы рассмотрим только протокол прикладного уровня HTTP (чуть позднее), поскольку для решения наших программистских задач нужен только он. А пока вернемся к клиент-серверной архитектуре и разберемся, что же такое клиент и что такое сервер.

    Сервер представляет собой набор программ, которые контролируют выполнение различных процессов. Соответственно, этот набор программ установлен на каком-то компьютере. Часто компьютер, на котором установлен сервер, и называют сервером. Основная функция компьютера-сервера – по запросу клиента запустить какой-либо определенный процесс и отправить клиенту результаты его работы.

    Клиентом называют любой процесс, который пользуется услугами сервера. Клиентом может быть как пользователь, так и программа. Основная задача клиента – выполнение приложения и осуществление связи с сервером, когда этого требует приложение. То есть клиент должен предоставлять пользователю интерфейс для работы с приложением, реализовывать логику его работы и при необходимости отправлять задания серверу.

    Взаимодействие между клиентом и сервером начинается по инициативе клиента. Клиент запрашивает вид обслуживания, устанавливает сеанс, получает нужные ему результаты и сообщает об окончании работы.

    Услугами одного сервера чаще всего пользуется несколько клиентов одновременно. Поэтому каждый сервер должен иметь достаточно большую производительность и обеспечивать безопасность данных.

    Логичнее всего устанавливать сервер на компьютере, входящем в какую-либо сеть, локальную или глобальную. Однако можно устанавливать сервер и на отдельно стоящий компьютер (тогда он будет являться одновременно и клиентом и сервером).

    [ Источник]

    Существует множество типов серверов. Вот лишь некоторые из них.

    • Видеосервер. Такой сервер специально приспособлен к обработке изображений, хранению видеоматериалов, видеоигр и т.п. В связи с этим компьютер, на котором установлен видеосервер, должен иметь высокую производительность и большую память.
    • Поисковый сервер предназначен для поиска информации в Internet.
    • Почтовый сервер предоставляет услуги в ответ на запросы, присланные по электронной почте.
    • Сервер WWW предназначен для работы в Internet.
    • Сервер баз данных выполняет обработку запросов к базам данных.
    • Сервер защиты данных предназначен для обеспечения безопасности данных (содержит, например, средства для идентификации паролей).
    • Сервер приложений предназначен для выполнения прикладных процессов. С одной стороны взаимодействует с клиентами, получая задания, а с другой – работает с базами данных, подбирая необходимые для обработки данные.
    • Сервер удаленного доступа обеспечивает коллективный удаленный доступ к данным.
    • Файловый сервер обеспечивает функционирование распределенных ресурсов, предоставляет услуги поиска, хранения, архивирования данных и возможность одновременного доступа к ним нескольких пользователей.

    Обычно на компьютере-сервере работает сразу несколько программ-серверов. Одна занимается электронной почтой, другая распределением файлов, третья предоставляет web-страницы.

  • 50 galon

    (Possibly Spanish galán [galán] < French galant)
       According to Hendrickson, a big horse used for hauling. He quotes Edna Ferber, who suggests that the term is a Mexican adaptation of the American English phrase 'G'long!' used to urge the horses along. However, the Spanish sources listed below provide a much more credible derivation for this term. Sobarzo notes that in Sonora a galán is a lively, graceful, well-proportioned horse. The DRAE defines galán as a good-looking, well-proportioned man who carries himself in an elegant or graceful manner. A Spanish origin for this term is much more plausible, since it was the Mexican/Spanish vaqueros who taught the Anglos cowboying and ranching.

    Ex: And yet, everyone knows that historically only a very small portion of the eligible users have ever crossed the threshold of a public library.

    Ex: Other words which might be feasible access points in a general index prove worthless in an index devoted to a special subject area.
    Ex: In simple terms, the essence of subject organisation is the division of literature (or references to literature) into manageable, or scannable categories, with each category being associated with an index term.
    Ex: Various modes of operation are possible for such a journal, and the precise operation will depend upon the type of information being conveyed.
    Ex: The system permits the requester to specify up to five potential lending libraries, and the system transmits the requests to these libraries one at a time.
    Ex: The advocacy of title entry for serials implies an ideology which focuses on the publication as the principal object of interest of the prospective library user rather than the work conveyed by the book or publication.
    Ex: With printed thesauri there are limits on space, if the publication is to be economically viable, and easy to handle.
    Ex: The only viable alternatives open to would-be users are to produce or commission the production of custom-made application programs.
    Ex: This article emphasises the importance of a preservation plan that includes ways of dealing with every conceivable type of disaster a library might experience.
    Ex: This incompleteness of search and retrieval therefore makes possible, and plausible, the existence of undiscovered public knowledge.
    Ex: A thesaurus developed with such a module can support the addition of candidate terms to the thesaurus during the indexing process.
    Ex: Barbara Tillett's vision of one seamless bibliographic system, either real or virtual, looks realizable over a 5 to 10 year horizon.
    Ex: The result is a pair of overlapping sets of sufficient conditions for autonomy that are argued to be satisfiable by real human agents.
    Ex: This has opened up issues of what is & is not thinkable &, therefore, doable in the present conjuncture of crisis & instability.
    Ex: The most likely causes of brain damage among low birthweight infants are prematurity and infections, not oxygen starvation.
