Fluid Flow Phenomena in Metals Processing outlines the fundamentals of fluid flow theory, emphasizing the potential applications of fluid flow concepts that are illustrated by actual problems drawn from the metallurgical literature. This book is divided into 10 chapters. Chapters 1 to 4 are devoted to the fundamentals of fluid flow, while Chapters 5 to 9 are concerned with the application of basic concepts to specific systems, such as electromagnetically driven flows, surface tension and natural convection driven flows, multiparticle systems, gas bubbles, and impinging jets. The discussion on flow measurements and introduction to physical modeling are provided in the last chapter. This publication is suitable for a one semester graduate level course for metallurgy and chemical engineering students.
Technologie lenkt uns oft von der Natur ab, aber was wäre, wenn sie uns stattdessen hilft Tiere und Pflanzen wirklich zu verstehen oder sogar mit ihnen zu sprechen? In der Natur wimmelt es von Klängen, von denen viele außerhalb des menschlichen Hörbereichs liegen: Es ist die verborgene Kommunikation der Tiere und Pflanzen. Wissenschaftler setzen bahnbrechende digitale Technologien ein, um diese erstaunliche Kommunikation zwischen unseren Mitgeschöpfen zu entschlüsseln. The Sounds of Life erzählt faszinierende Geschichten über nichtmenschliche Klänge, beruhend auf den neuesten Erkenntnissen der Bioakustik. Wir erfahren, wie künstliche Intelligenz nichtmenschliche Geräusche entschl...
"Kim był ten poeta, który zapisał się w zbiorowej pamięci wierszami o zaczarowanej dorożce, ogórku, który nie śpiewa, i Teatrzykiem Zielona Gęś? Zielonym Konstantym zakochanym na wieki w srebrnej Natalii? Oszustem, słodkim szarlatanem, sztukmistrzem wyciągającym wiersze jak króliki z kapelusza? Kpiarzem sypiącym fajerwerkami dowcipu? A może „psem na forsę” piszącym na akord dla tego, kto zapłaci? Postacią tragiczną, uwikłaną w nałóg i kolejne polityczne układy? Człowiekiem zdolnym oświadczyć się podczas wojennej tułaczki trzem kobietom naraz, gdy w domu czekała żona? A może „księżycowym facetem”, zakochanym przed wszystkim w poezji i muzyce? Książka Anny Arno odkrywa przed nami wszystkie te twarze Konstantego Ildefonsa Gałczyńskiego i jeszcze wiele innych. Podobnie jak jego poezja, mieni się wieloma odcieniami, obraz poety raz jest flamandzkim portretem, raz socrealistycznym plakatem, a innym razem karykaturą z „Przekroju”. "
Sport is a global phenomenon engaging billions of people and generating annual revenues of more than US$ 145 billion. Problems in the governance of sports organisations, fixing of matches and staging of major sporting events have spurred action on many fronts. Yet attempts to stop corruption in sport are still at an early stage. The Global Corruption Report (GCR) on sport is the most comprehensive analysis of sports corruption to date. It consists of more than 60 contributions from leading experts in the fields of corruption and sport, from sports organisations, governments, multilateral institutions, sponsors, athletes, supporters, academia and the wider anti-corruption movement. This GCR provides essential analysis for understanding the corruption risks in sport, focusing on sports governance, the business of sport, planning of major events, and match-fixing. It highlights the significant work that has already been done and presents new approaches to strengthening integrity in sport. In addition to measuring transparency and accountability, the GCR gives priority to participation, from sponsors to athletes to supporters an essential to restoring trust in sport.
This open access book describes and illustrates the surgical techniques, implants, and technologies used for the purpose of personalized implantation of hip and knee components. This new and flourishing treatment philosophy offers important benefits over conventional systematic techniques, including component positioning appropriate to individual anatomy, improved surgical reproducibility and prosthetic performance, and a reduction in complications. The techniques described in the book aim to reproduce patients’ native anatomy and physiological joint laxity, thereby improving the prosthetic hip/knee kinematics and functional outcomes in the quest of the forgotten joint. They include kinema...

In this original and eye-opening study, Stefan Morawski sheds light on the often confused debate about postmodernism, postmodernity and human values. Drawing upon a wide range of evidence from the experience of everyday life in the sciences, religion, visual arts, literature, film, television and contemporary music, The Troubles with Postmodernism is an indispensable guide to our understanding and evaluation of contemporary literature.
