Computing

J A derivative and redesign of APL with added features and control structures. J is purely functional with lexical scope and more conventional control structures, plus several new concepts such as function rank and function arrays. J was designed and developed by Kennneth E. Iverson and Roger Hui . J uses only the ASCII character set but has a spelling scheme that retains the advantages of APL's special alphabet. J is a conventional procedural programming language but can be used as a purely functional language. Version 4.1 for MS-DOS, Sun, Mac, Archimedes. Source available in C from Iverson Software, +1 (416) 925 6096. Version 6 package from ISI includes an interpreter and tutorial. Ported to DEC, NeXT, SGI, Sun-3, Sun-4, Vax, RS/6000, MIPS, Macintosh, Acorn Archimedes, IBM PC, Atari, 3b1, Amiga.

Current (electricity)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In electricity, current is any flow of charge, usually through a metal wire or some other electrical conductor. Conventional current was defined early in the history of electrical science as a flow of positive charge, although we now know that, in the case of metallic conduction, current is caused by a flow of negatively charged electrons in the opposite direction. Despite this understanding, the original definition of conventional current still stands. The symbol typically used for the amount of current (the amount of charge flowing per unit of time) is I, and the SI unit of electrical current is the ampere. Electric current is therefore also informally referred to as amperage, by analogy with the term voltage.

Current density is the current per unit (cross-sectional) area.

In metallic conductors, such as wires, currents are caused by a flow of electrons (negatively charged particles), but this is not case in most non-metallic conductors. Electric currents in electrolytes are flows of electrically charged atoms (ions), which exist in both positive and negative varieties. For example, an electrochemical cell may be constructed with salt water (a solution of sodium chloride) on one side of a membrane and pure water on the other. The membrane lets the positive sodium ions pass, but not the negative chlorine ions, so a net current results. Electric currents in plasma are flows of electrons as well as positive and negative ions. In water ice and in certain solid electrolytes, flowing protons constitute the electric current.

There are also instances where the electrons are the charge that is physically moving, but where it makes more sense to think of the current as the positive "holes" (the spots that should have an electron to make the conductor neutral) as being what moves. This is the case in a p-type semiconductor.

See electrical conduction for more information on the physical mechanism of current flow in materials.

Mathematically, current is defined as the net flux through an area. Thus:

φ = j·A

where A is the area through which the current is flowing, φ is the current, and j is called the "current density". The current density is defined as:

where n is the particle density (number of particles per unit volume), u is the average velocity of the particles in each volume, and x can be mass, charge, or any other characteristic whose flow one would like to measure.

Every electric current produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field can be visualized as a pattern of circular field lines surrounding the wire.

Electric current can be directly measured with a galvanometer, but this method involves breaking the circuit, which is sometimes inconvenient. Current can also be measured without breaking the circuit by detecting the magnetic field it creates. Devices used for this include Hall effect sensors, current clamps and Rogowski coils.

Ohm's Law predicts the current in an (ideal) resistor to be the quotient of applied voltage over electrical resistance.

J

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The tenth letter of the Latin alphabet, J was originally only a capital letter, therefore, some people still write their names as Jsabel, Jnes instead of Isabel, Ines in the German-speaking world, and in Italy, in pre-modern use one also sometimes encounters J as a capital of I.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

The Humanistic scholar Pierre de la Ramée (d. 1572) was the first to make a distinction between I and J. Originally, both I and J were pronounced as [i], [i:], and [j]; but Romance languages developed new sounds (from former [j] and [g]) that came to be represented as I and J; therefore, English J has a sound quite different from I.

In other Germanic languages J stands for /j/.

In modern standard Italian only foreign or Latin words have J. Until the 19th century, J was used instead of I in diphthongs, as a replacement for final -ii, or in vowels groups (as in Savoja); this rule was quite strict for official writing. J is also used for rendering words in dialect, where it stands for /j/, e.g. Romanesque ajo for standard aglio (garlic).

In Spanish J stands for /x/ (that in some cases developed from the /dZ/ sound, i.e. the same sound that English still has). In French former /dZ/ is now pronounced as /Z/ (as in English MEASURE).

In Turkish, Azeri and Tatar J is always prounced [zh]. (see SAMPA for meaning of all those phonetic symbols).

Juliet represents the letter J in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

J programming language

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The J programming language, developed in the early 90's by Ken Iverson and Roger Hui, is a synthesis of APL (also by Iverson) and FP, the functional programming language created by John Backus (of Fortran, Algol, and BNF fame).

To avoid the problems faced by the special character set of APL, J requires only the basic ASCII character set, resorting to the use of dot and colon characters to extend the meaning of the basic characters available.

J is a very terse and powerful language, and is often found to be useful for math programming, especially when performing operations on matrices. It also offers a flexible namespace scheme ("locales") which can be used as a framework for OOP.

Java Database Connectivity

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Java Database Connectivity, or JDBC, is an API for the Java programming language that defines how a client may access a database. It provides methods for querying and updating data in a database. JDBC is oriented towards relational databases. The Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition includes the JDBC API together with an ODBC implementation of the API enabling connections to any relational database that supports ODBC. This driver is native code and not Java.

Types of Drivers

There are commercial and free drivers available for most relational database servers. These drivers fall into one of the following types:

Overview of the API

JDBC allows multiple implementations to exist and be used by the same application. The API provides a mechanism for dynamically loading the correct Java packages and registering them with the JDBC Driver Manager. The DriverManager is used as a connection factory for creating JDBC connections.

JDBC connections support creating and executing statements. These statements may be update statements such as SQL INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE or they may be query statements using the SELECT statement. Additionally, stored procedures may be invoked through a statement. Statements are one of the following types:

Update statements such as INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE return an update count that indicates how many rows were affected in the database. These statements do not return any other information.

Query statements return a JDBC row result set. The row result set is used to walk over the result set. Individual columns in a row are retrieved either by name or by column number. There may be any number of rows in the result set. The row result set has metadata that describes the names of the columns and their types.

There is an extension to the basic JDBC API that allows for scrollable result sets and cursor support among other things. Refer to the SUN documentation [1] for more details.

Example

The method Class.forName() is used to load the jdbc driver class. The line below causes the JDBC driver from some jdbc vendor to be loaded into the application.

Class.forName( "com.somejdbcvendor.TheirJdbcDriver" );
Next, the DriverMangager.getConnection() method is used to create a JDBC connection.

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection( 
     "jdbc:somejdbcvendor:other data needed by some jdbc vendor",
     "myLogin",
     "myPassword" );
The URL used is dependent upon the particular JDBC driver. It will always begin with "jdbc:", but the rest is upto the particular vendor. Once a connection is established, a statement must be created.

Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate( "INSERT INTO MyTable( name ) VALUES ( 'my name' ) " );
Data is retrieved from the database using a database query mechanism. The example below shows creating a statement and executing a query.

Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( "SELECT * FROM MyTable" );
while ( rs.next() ) {
    int numColumns = rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();
    for ( int i = 1 ; i <= numColumns ; i++ ) {
       //Column numbers start at 1.
       //Also there are many methods on the result set to return
       // the column as a particular type. Refer to the sun documentation
       // for the list of valid conversions.
       System.out.println( "COLUMN " + i + " = " + rs.getObject(i) );
    }
}
rs.close();
stmt.close();
Typically, however, it would be rare for a seasoned Java programmer to code in such a fashion. The usual practice would be to abstract the database logic into an entirely different class and to pass preprocessed strings (perhaps derived themselves from a further abstracted class) containing SQL statements and the connection to the required methods.

An example of a PreparedStatement Query. Using conn and class from first example.

try {
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs;
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement( "SELECT i.*, j.* FROM Omega i, Zappa j WHERE i = ? AND j = ?" );
// In the prepared statement ps, the question mark denotes variable input,
// which can be pass through a parameter list, for example.

// The following replaces the question marks, 
// with the string or int, before sending it to SQL.
// The first parameter corresponds to the nth occurrence of the ?, 
// the second parameter tells Java to replace it with 
// the second item.
ps.setString(1, "Poor Yorick");
ps.setInt(2, 8008);

// The ResultSet rs, receives the SQL Query response.
rs = ps.executeQuery();
while ( rs.next() ) {
    int numColumns = rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();
    for ( int i = 1 ; i <= numColumns ; i++ ) {
       //Column numbers start at 1.
       //Also there are many methods on the result set to return
       // the column as a particular type. Refer to the sun documentation
       // for the list of valid conversions.
       System.out.println( "COLUMN " + i + " = " + rs.getObject(i) );
    }

rs.close();
ps.close();
stmt.close();
}
catch (SQLException e) {
 // typical exception handling here
}
Here are examples of host database types, Java can convert to with a function.

Java transaction service

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Java Transaction Service, or JTS, is an implementation of the JTA Transaction Manager, AKA TP monitor, that maps onto the OMG Object transaction service used in the CORBA architecture. It uses IIOP to propagate the transactions between multiple JTS transaction managers.

J2EE application servers are required to provide a JTS implementation.

Joule

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy and work, and is defined as 1 kg·m2·s-2 = 1 N·m = 1 W·s. It is named in honour of the physicist James Prescott Joule.

One joule is the work required to exert a force of one newton for a distance of one metre, so the same quantity may be referred to as a newton metre. However, to avoid confusion the newton metre is usually used as a measure of torque, not energy. Another way of visualizing the joule is the work required to lift a mass of 102 g (e.g. a small apple) for one metre under the earth's gravity.

One joule is also the work done to produce power of one watt for one second, such as when somebody takes one second to lift the small apple mentioned above through one metre under the earth's gravity.

1 joule is equal to:

See 1 E0 J for further comparisons.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

ITCH, n. The patriotism of a Scotchman. J J is a consonant in English, but some nations use it as a vowel -- than which nothing could be more absurd. Its original form, which has been but slightly modified, was that of the tail of a subdued dog, and it was not a letter but a character, standing for a Latin verb, jacere, "to throw," because when a stone is thrown at a dog the dog's tail assumes that shape. This is the origin of the letter, as expounded by the renowned Dr. Jocolpus Bumer, of the University of Belgrade, who established his conclusions on the subject in a work of three quarto volumes and committed suicide on being reminded that the j in the Roman alphabet had originally no curl.
