Congratulations on selecting this book! The payment card industry and payment card security is a growth industry! When I was a PCIP (Payment Card Industry Professional) certification candidate, I looked for test questions and exercises that could gauge how I was doing when studying for the certification exam. At the time, I would have loved to have had access to a book like this! However, to my disappointment, I found no resource that would allow me to access a full blown test bank and exercises to more clearly judge my progress. While studying, I wrote my own questions and yes, I passed the PCIP certification exam. Many of my practice questions and exercises written during my study process went into this book. My goal in writing this book is to provide support for other Payment Card Industry Professional (PCIP) candidates who are interested in sitting for the certification exam by passing on this valuable resource. This book does not replace the downloadable study material from the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council website. Studying the PCI SSC material is critical to understanding the material and exam success. As a matter of fact, all candidates are encouraged to thoroughly study the material on the PCI SSC website before accessing the 320 practice questions and exercises in this book. Obtaining the PCIP certification demonstrates to your employer that you are a qualified and valuable team member when it comes to PCI compliance and audits. How well you do on the PCIP certification exam could have a significant impact on your future.

Set in the future when Earth has become heavily over-populated, advances in space travel led to the discovery of Eden, an earth-like planet. Colonisation is progressing but the majority of the settlers are men and the need for more women has become urgent. Some willing women are persuaded to move to Eden to redress the balance. Beth is one such woman who has elected to live with four brothers. Each brother is uniquely different. The eldest, Luke, has emotional scars and maintains a discreet distance, which only draws Beth closer. The Eden natives are feline in appearance, affectionate and fun-loving. They have no discernable language or technology and are regarded merely as highly developed animals. They are particularly drawn to Beth and with their aid, she manages to solve the riddle Luke represents.

A sol-gel stationary phase was developed for in-situ infrared (IR) detection of analytes on thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates. These sol-gel-based TLC plates have improved optical properties compared with conventional TLC plates in IR spectroscopic analysis. Samples can be analyzed in transmission geometry, requiring no special attachments. The sol-gel-based TLC plates demonstrate significantly better light throughput and a wider spectral range than conventional TLC plates analyzed in diffuse reflectance geometries. The sol-gel precursor, methyltrimethoxyorthosilicate (MTES), was templated with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and urea in order to form a porous sol-gel. Aerosol deposition was used to apply the sol-gel solution onto either glass slides or silicon wafers within an enclosed chamber. Many variables were studied to determine their effect on the quality of the sol-gel stationary phases, including the ratio of MTES:methanol:water:CTAB:urea:HCl:, gelation times and temperatures, and deposition rate. Sol-gel films prepared using MTES/methanol/water/CTAB at ratios of 1 : 20 : 7 : 0.2 containing 5 wt% urea (relative to MTES) and pH 1.5 were crack-free, mechanically stable, and uniform in appearance. The films were tens of microns thick with a highly interconnected porous structure. For chromatographic separations, the films exhibited good solvent migration velocity and could be repeatedly washed and reused for TLC separations without showing degradation in the separation. Several different classes of compounds, including polyaromatic hydrocarbons and dyes, were successfully separated. Theoretical plate values measured on the MTES-based sol-gel films were comparable to those obtained on commercially available TLC plates.
