„Prawda to metal i piekło!” – głosił Roman Kostrzewski. Sprawdźcie sami, czy miał rację. Kat to zespół, który wielu zamyka w szufladce z etykietą „satanizm”. Zdefiniowanie tej jednej z najważniejszych polskich grup metalowych wymaga jednak o wiele więcej słów, o czym przekonacie się, czytając tę książkę. A w niej: • szaleństwa muzyków Hanoi Rocks i Kata podczas wspólnej trasy; • opis koncertów z Metallicą w katowickim Spodku i legendarnych występów w Jarocinie; • kulisy nagrań, m.in. albumu Oddech wymarłych światów – zestawianego przez krytyków na równi z kultowym Master of Puppets; • rytualne morderstwo i obrona przed zarzutami; • anali...
High-energy particle accelerators are as diverse as their uses, which range from scientific research in fields such as high-energy physics, materials science and the life sciences, to applications in industry and medicine. Despite the diversity of accelerators, the particle beams that they are designed to produce behave in ways that share many common features. Beam Dynamics in High Energy Particle Accelerators aims to provide an introduction to phenomena regularly encountered when working with beams in accelerators; from the basic principles of motion of relativistic particles in electromagnetic fields, to instabilities that can affect beam quality in machines operating at high current. This...
This book is new in every aspect and not only because neither the official history nor an unofficial history of the KGB, and its many predecessors and successors, exists in any language. In this volume, the author deals with the origins of the KGB from the Tsarist Okhrana (the first Russians secret political police) to the OGPU, Joint State Political Directorate, one of the KGB predecessors between 1923 and 1934. Based on documents from the Russian archives, the author clearly demonstrates that the Cheka and GPU/OPGU were initially created to defend the revolution and not for espionage. The Okhrana operated in both the Russian Empire and abroad against the revolutionaries and most of its ope...
This document brings together a set of latest data points and publicly available information relevant for Platforms & Applications. We are very excited to share this content and believe that readers will benefit immensely from this periodic publication immensely.
This book provides a brief exposition of the principles of beam physics and particle accelerators with an emphasis on numerical examples employing readily available computer tools. However, it avoids detailed derivations, instead inviting the reader to use general high-end languages such as Mathcad and Matlab, as well as specialized particle accelerator codes (e.g. MAD, WinAgile, Elegant, and others) to explore the principles presented. This approach allows readers to readily identify relevant design parameters and their scaling. In addition, the computer input files can serve as templates that can be easily adapted to other related situations. The examples and computer exercises comprise ba...
Whether youOCOre a stream studies novice or a veteran aquatic monitor, Watershed Dynamics gives you abundant practical resources to extend your studentsOCO investigations into local water quality and land-use issues. This two-part set is ideal for teaching biological and ecological concepts and research techniques. It also shows how the interplay between scientific data and human judgment can shape public policy decisions on zoning, flood control, and agricultural practices."
This is the first comparative study of literature written by writers who fled from East-Central Europe during the twentieth century. It includes not only interpretations of individual lives and literary works, but also studies of the most important literary journals, publishers, radio programs, and other aspects of exile literary cultures. The theoretical part of introduction distinguishes between exiles, émigrés, and expatriates, while the historical part surveys the pre-twentieth-century exile traditions and provides an overview of the exilic events between 1919 and 1995; one section is devoted to exile cultures in Paris, London, and New York, as well as in Moscow, Madrid, Toronto, Bueno...
