George N. Bullen, "Successful Composites Technology Transfer: Applying NASA Innovations to Industry"
English | 2015 | pages: 306 | ISBN: 0872638804 | PDF | 13,8 mb
The ingenuity and visibility of NASA space programs, such as the max launch abort system (MLAs), are sparking the creativity, knowledge transfer, and unique applications of revolutionary technologies in areas such as aerospace, wind energy, transportation, oil, safety, and civil infrastructure. Lightweight, high-strength, carbon-fiber composites materials, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding, smart sensors, out-of-autoclave curing of autoclave composites, unified structures, structural health monitoring systems, smart phone/rfid tracking, determinant assembly, forensic engineering, and the digital tapestry that ties everything together are just a few of the technological advances perfected in NASA s programs. Successful composites technology transfer takes the discussion of these technologies to the next level addressing the advantages and challenges to their more widespread industrial application. Readers will get insight into how high-strength, carbon-fiber composites and its related technologies are making inroads into products such as commercial airplane seats and carts, turbine blades, firefighting equipment, trucks, buses, lifting and support devices, and containers. The author shares breakthrough thinking on other potential applications, such as a new lighter than air ship, prototype vehicles, driver health and safety, firefighter safety, and bridge infrastructure safety and health monitoring. According to Foreword author, Tim Shinbara, vice president of manufacturing technology at AMT (Association for Manufacturing Technology), ...it is of considerable value to search out, discover, and digest resources such as this book in an effort to continually improve the lens by which we innovate. Aside from new product innovations, extension of the manufacturing technologies, and processes described herein have the potential to not only add new functionality or modify the existing functionality of existing products and systems, but in many cases, adoption would require minimal effort from the manufacturing enterprise.

Adrian Kelly, "Sophocles: Oedipus at Colonus "
English | ISBN: 0715637134 | 2009 | 144 pages | PDF | 1070 KB
In his final play, Sophocles returns to the ever-popular character of Oedipus, the blind outcast of Thebes, the ultimate symbol of human reversal, whose fall he had so memorably treated in the 'Oedipus Tyrannus'. In this play, Sophocles brings the aged Oedipus to Athens, where he seeks succour and finds refuge, despite the threatening arrival of his kinsman Creon, who tries to tempt and then force the old man back under Theban control. Oedipus' resistance shows a fierceness in no way dimmed by incapacity, but he also refuses to aid his repentant son, Polyneices, in his coming attack on Thebes, manifesting once more the passion and harshness which mark his character so thoroughly. His mysterious death at the end of the play, witnessed only by Theseus himself, seems the sole fitting end for such an exceptional and problematic figure, transforming Oedipus into one of the 'powerful dead' whose beneficence towards Athens heralds a positive future for the city. This useful companion provides background, context, a synopsis and detailed analysis of the play.

Amber Dawn, "Sodom Road Exit"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1551527162 | 404 pages | EPUB | 1.6 MB
It's the summer of 1990 and Crystal Beach has lost its beloved, long-running amusement park, leaving the lakeside village a virtual ghost town. It is back to this fallen community that Starla Mia Martin must return to live with her overbearing mother after dropping out of university and racking up significant debt. But an economic downturn, mother-daughter drama, and Generation X disillusionment soon prove to be to be the least of Starla's troubles. A mysterious and salacious force begins to dog her; inexplicable sounds in the night and indescribable sights spotted in the periphery. Soon enough, Starla must confront the unresolved traumas that haunt Crystal Beach. Sodom Road Exit might read like a conventional paranormal thriller, except that Starla is far from a conventional protagonist. Where others might feel fear, Starla feels lust and queer desire. When others might run, Starla draws the horror nearer. And in turn, she draws a host of capricious characters toward her-all of them challenged to seek answers beyond their own temporal realities. Sodom Road Exit, the second novel by Lambda Literary Award winner Amber Dawn, is a book that's alive with both desire and dread.

Simulations in the Political Science Classroom: Games without Frontiers
English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367699761 | 319 Pages | PDF (True) | 6 MB
This book is premised on the assumption that games and simulations provide welcome alternatives and supplements to traditional lectures and class discussions-especially in political science classrooms, where real-world circumstances provide ideal applications of theory and policy prescriptions. Implementing such an active learning program, however, is sometimes daunting to overburdened professors and teaching assistants. This book addresses the challenges of using games and simulations in the political science classroom, both online and in person. Each chapter offers a game or simulation that politics teachers can use to teach course concepts and explains ways to execute it effectively. In addition, the authors in this volume make a proactive case for games and simulations. Each chapter offers research to evaluate the effectiveness of the activity and pedagogical design best practices. Thus, the book not only serves as a game design resource, but also offers demonstrable support for using games and simulations in the political science classroom. Aimed at teachers at all levels, from high school through college, the book may be especially appealing to graduate students entering teaching for the first time and open to new teaching and learning approaches.

Jeff Chinn, "Russians As The New Minority"
English | ISBN: 0367301954 | 2021 | 320 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Twenty-five million Russians live in the newly independent states carved from the territory of the former Soviet Union. When they or their ancestors emigrated to these non-Russian areas, they seldom saw themselves as having moved "abroad." Now, with the dissolution of the USSR, these Russians find themselves to be minorities―often unwelcome―in new states created to fulfill the aspirations of indigenous populations. Will the governments of these newly independent states be able to accept the fact that their populations are multi-national? Will the formerly dominant and privileged Russians be able to live with their new status as equals or, more often, subordinates? To what extent do the new regimes' policies of accommodation or exclusion establish lasting patterns for relations between the titular majorities and the minority Russians? Developing the concept of interactive nationalism, this timely book explores the movement of Russians to the borderlands during the Russian Empire and Soviet times, the evolution of nationality policies during the Soviet era, and the processes of indigenization during the late Soviet period and under the newfound independence of the republics. The authors examine questions of citizenship, language policy, and political representation in each of the successor states, emphasizing the interaction between the indigenous population and the Russians. Through the use of case studies, the authors explore the tragic ethnic violence that has erupted since the demise of the Soviet Union, and weigh strategies for managing national conflict and developing stable democratic institutions that will respect the rights of all ethnic groups.

Reversible Logic Synthesis: From Fundamentals to Quantum Computing by Anas N. Al-Rabadi
English | PDF | 2004 | 448 Pages | ISBN : 3540009353 | 5 MB
This book presents for the first time comprehensive and systematic methods for the reversible synthesis of logic functions and multi-dimensional logic circuits. This methodology is able to solve major problems in system design today and in the future, namely the high rate of power consumption, and the emergence of quantum effects and properties for highly dense and nano-scale ICs. The challenge is to design nano-scale reliable systems that consume as little power as possible and in which the signals are processed and transmitted at very high speeds with very high signal integrity. Researchers in academia or industry and graduate students, who work in logic synthesis, computer design, computer-aided design tools, and low power VLSI circuit design, will be interested in this book.

Restless Reason and Other Variations on Kantian Themes by Amihud Gilead
English | EPUB | 2022 | 150 Pages | ISBN : 3030841960 | 0.3 MB
This book, combining integratively-revised previously-published papers with entirely new chapters, challenges and treats some major problems in Kant's philosophy not by means of new interpretations but by suggesting some variations on Kantian themes. Such variations are, in fact, reconstructions made according to Kantian ideas and principles and yet cannot be extracted as such directly from his writings. The book also analyses Kant's philosophy from a new metaphysical angle, based on the original metaphysics of the author, called panenmentalism.

English | 2015 | pages: 388 | ISBN: 1909030961 | PDF | 6,7 mb
Polymers have been one of the most widely used materials in our daily life due to properties including low production costs, light weight, hygiene, durability and design adaptability. However, the increasing consumption of different kinds of polymer-based materials in various fields results in a huge amount of waste material. Once the polymers have fulfilled the function for which they were manufactured, they are disposed of in landfills in large amounts each year, which is incompatible with current environmental goals. The disposal of polymer-based plastics, such as incineration and landfill, results in environmental pollution and land occupation.

University Press Biographies, "Ragnar Lothbrok: The Extraordinary Viking"
English | ISBN: 1976910471 | 2018 | 65 pages | EPUB | 119 KB
Ragnar Lothbrok: The Extraordinary Viking From the misty depths of the Early Middle Ages comes the story of a mighty Viking warrior and king named Ragnar Lothbrok. The rich oral tradition of Norse legend, written down hundreds of years after the events happened, sifted the story of Ragnar's exploits through time and poetry to create for Ragnar a lasting image of bravery in the face of the unknown. The dramatic tale of Ragnar brings up interesting questions. For example, was Ragnar a real person? If so, have the facts about him been exaggerated to the point that they no longer have much basis in reality? And, if the story has been reshaped by its storytellers, what does this say about what the people wanted to hear? Also, how can Ragnar be called a hero when his most notable feat was invading and plundering Paris? As you read Ragnar's story, you'll find the answers to questions you may not imagine right now, such as: Why was Ragnar called Lothbrok, the Old Norse word for Shaggy-Breeches? Through his legend, you see a man who had three strong wives and many vengeful sons. What kind of father and husband could this man have been? Ragnar was certainly no peacemaker. He was tall and powerfully-built, but what about his moral character? Modern people might see this "Scourge of England and France" as a brute and a warmonger, and rightly so - not exactly in keeping with modern mores. Yet, even modern people can appreciate what he did for the world. We can thank Ragnar's kind for creating trade routes throughout Scandinavia, Britain, Europe, and even into Russia. In expanding his empire, he aided in the settlement of the regions he conquered. Learning about Ragnar's life, times and character can give you a new way to view the world. The basic struggle of Ragnar's life was between good and evil, but these two concepts are not as clear-cut as you might think. What Medieval Norsemen saw as good, you might see as wicked, aggressive and based on self-interest alone. And, what they saw as evil, you might see as simply the natural way of the life on this planet. As you read this book, you can enjoy learning about a character that is larger than life and fascinating in a way only legends can be. After you finish reading, we suspect you'll want to know more about Ragnar Lothbrok and delve into the poetry that tells his story so beautifully.
