Model-based Nonlinear Control of Aeroengines by Jiqiang Wang, Weicun Zhang, Zhongzhi Hu
English | EPUB | 2022 | 255 Pages | ISBN : 9811644527 | 46.1 MB
This book aims to develop systematic design methodologies to model-based nonlinear control of aeroengines, focusing on (1) modelling of aeroengine systems-both component-level and identification-based models will be extensively studied and compared; and (2) advanced nonlinear control designs-set-point control, transient control and limit-protection control approaches will all be investigated.

Allison Margaret Bigelow, "Mining Language: Racial Thinking, Indigenous Knowledge, and Colonial Metallurgy in the Early Modern Iberian World "
English | ISBN: 1469654385 | 2020 | 376 pages | AZW3 | 4 MB
Mineral wealth from the Americas underwrote and undergirded European colonization of the New World; American gold and silver enriched Spain, funded the slave trade, and spurred Spain's northern European competitors to become Atlantic powers. Building upon works that have narrated this global history of American mining in economic and labor terms, Mining Language is the first book-length study of the technical and scientific vocabularies that miners developed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as they engaged with metallic materials. This language-centric focus enables Allison Bigelow to document the crucial intellectual contributions Indigenous and African miners made to the very engine of European colonialism.

Millimeter-Wave Communication Systems: Network Analysis and Hybrid Precoding Design by Kai Yang, Minwei Shi, Hang Yuan, Zhitong Ni
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 186 Pages | ISBN : 9811696209 | 38.5 MB
This book investigates the analytical framework and hybrid precoding scheme in millimeter-wave networks. Millimeter-wave communication is a frontier technology for supporting ultra-high data rate transmissions in future wireless networks due to larger bandwidth and higher spectral efficiency. However, the involved interference characterization and increased energy consumption are two dominant limitations in millimeter-wave network evolution. In this monograph, we develop a unified analytical framework for large-scale millimeter-wave communication networks, which leads to abundant network design insights and guidelines. Under this framework, we design low-complexity hybrid precoding algorithms for millimeter-wave systems, which greatly reduce energy consumption without obvious performance degradation.

Erasmo Coronado Gamboa, "Mexican Labor and World War II: Braceros in the Pacific Northwest, 1942-1947 "
English | ISBN: 029597849X | 2000 | 208 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
"Although Mexican migrant workers have toiled in the fields of the Pacific Northwest since the turn of the century, and although they comprise the largest work force in the region's agriculture today, they have been virtually invisible in the region's written labor history. Erasmo Gamboa's study of the bracero program during World War II is an important beginning, describing and documenting the labor history of Mexican and Chicano workers in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and contributing to our knowledge of farm labor."―Oregon Historical Quarterly

Methane Activation and Utilization in the Petrochemical and Biofuel Industries by Hua Song, Jack Jarvis, Shijun Meng, Hao Xu, Zhaofei Li, Wenping Li
English | EPUB | 2022 | 264 Pages | ISBN : 3030884236 | 64.6 MB
This book discusses effective and alternative uses for natural gas (NG) and highlights the utilization of NG in the field of methane activation and chemical production. It details the techniques used during the reforming process of petrochemical and bio-derived fuels and it presents cutting-edge research that describes the utilization of NG that enables it to be more cost-effective and eliminate the expensive greenhouse gas emitting process of hydrogen production.

Messianic Thought Outside Theology By Anna Glazova (editor), Paul North (editor)
2014 | 316 Pages | ISBN: 0823256715 | PDF | 2 MB
Why did a "secularized" concept of messianicity seem so crucial in the twentieth century? Are messianic structures intelligible outside the theological systems in which they were invented? This book seeks to situate the ethical, ontological, and literary adoptions of messianism within the broader contours of messianic thought.The gesture by Benjamin, Rosenzweig, and others of detaching messianism from the person of the messiah, understanding it instead as a redemptive potential inherent in all human history, is one facet of a broad move in political theory, philosophy, linguistics, and historiography to redeem secular thinking through theological figures.Yet already within religious discourse the messiah figure is paradoxical. With the invocation of a future arrival "to come," history is opened, yet the previous assumption of an end threatens to shut it off from whatever unexpected might come. The coming arrival, so certain, so complete, will have already come in an anteriority that seems to cancel the future and close down historical life before it starts.

Richard E Mack, "Memoir of a Cold War Soldier"
English | ISBN: 0873386752 | 2000 | 232 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Fifty years after America's involvement in the Korean War began, Richard E. Mack's memories of his time spent on the front lines are still strong and clear. In Memoir of a Cold War Soldier, he recalls his service in front-line combat infantry units in Korea and Vietnam as rifle platoon leader, adviser, and battalion commander. His accounts, perceptions, and observations of the military culture are incisive and candid. He discusses the tasks and challenges army platoon leaders faced in Korea, the problems and concerns battalion commanders confronted in Vietnam, and the uncertainty facing all soldiers during the Cold War. This book will be of special interest to those who served in Korea and Vietnam, but anyone with an interest in military culture and history will find Memoir of a Cold War Soldier a valuable source.

Melancholic Travelers: Autonomy, Hybridity, and the Maternal By Nowak, Katarzyna
2007 | 158 Pages | ISBN: 3631556276 | PDF | 28 MB
The book analyzes traveling post-colonial subjects in recent prose by women writers of South Asian origin, tracing the links between thetropes of femininity, silence, loss, and migration. Traveling is understood as an act of generating meaning out of movement, displacement andmigration, while the position of traveling subjects is seen as that of a paradoxical liminality, yet carrying the insurgent potential of finding newmodes of agency. The argument evolves from crossing boundaries of one's own body towards radical transgression of borders of identity.Before the traveler is able to transgress the limitations exhorted by forces beyond a single person's grasp, she has to establish the boundariesof her own identity - only in order to shed its steadiness and discover liberating instability.
