Remember Muckadilla
Muckadilla Township is on the Warrego Highway about 40 kilometers from Roma in South Western Queensland. We trust that the insight given by many will benefit Present and Future Generations who appreciate the Characters who came to open up Mount Abundance Properties, Build the Railway, School and Businesses. Then enjoy each others company at Sporting Events. Barry Mc Mullen used to say, "Muckadilla Country is good enough to fatten a crowbar!" - We hope there will always be people who say with a chuckle, "I've been to Muckadilla - have you?"
Computational Science and High Performance Computing IV
This volume contains 27 contributions to the Forth Russian-German Advanced Research Workshop on Computational Science and High Performance Computing presented in October 2009 in Freiburg, Germany. The workshop was organized jointly by the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), the Institute of Computational Technologies of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICT SB RAS) and the Section of Applied Mathematics of the University of Freiburg (IAM Freiburg) The contributions range from computer science, mathematics and high performance computing to applications in mechanical and aerospace engineering. They show a wealth of theoretical work and simulation experience with a potential of bringing together theoretical mathematical modelling and usage of high performance computing systems presenting the state of the art of computational technologies.
Noise and Vibration Mitigation for Rail Transportation Systems
This volume contains the contributions to the 10th International Workshop on Railway Noise, held October 18–22, 2010, in Nagahama, Japan, organized by the Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI), Japan. With 11 sessions and 3 poster sessions, the workshop featured presentations by international leaders in the field of railway noise and vibration. All subjects relating to 1. prospects, legal regulation, and perception; 2. wheel and rail noise; 3. structure-borne noise and squeal noise; 4. ground-borne vibration; 5. aerodynamic noise and micro-pressure waves from tunnel portals; 6. interior noise and sound barriers; and 7. prediction, measurements, and monitoring are addressed here. This book is a useful “state-of-the-art” reference for scientists and engineers involved in solving environmental problems of railways.
Nature-Inspired Fluid Mechanics
This book is the closing report of the national priority program Nature-Inspired Fluid Mechanics (Schwerpunktprogramm SPP 1207: Strömungsbeeinflussung in der Natur und Technik). Nature-inspired fluid mechanics is one subset of biomimetics, a discipline which has received increased attention over the last decade, with numerous faculties and degree courses devoted solely to exploring ‘nature as a model’ for engineering applications. To save locomotion energy, evolution has optimized the design of animals such that friction loss is minimized. In addition to many morphological adaptations, animals that are often exposed to water or air currents have developed special behaviors that allow th...
Animal Locomotion
The physical principles of swimming and flying in animals are intriguingly different from those of ships and airplanes. The study of animal locomotion therefore holds a special place not only at the frontiers of pure fluid dynamics research, but also in the applied field of biomimetics, which aims to emulate salient aspects of the performance and function of living organisms. For example, fluid dynamic loads are so significant for swimming fish that they are expected to have developed efficient flow control procedures through the evolutionary process of adaptation by natural selection, which might in turn be applied to the design of robotic swimmers. And yet, sharply contrasting views as to ...
Rune to Ruin
A viking crew set on revenge. A conspiracy among the gods. The Spear of the Gods Saga continues with Rune to Ruin. Ansgar the Skald is sailing into the middle of an epic war between two legendary vikings. That’s about to be the least of his problems. Delving deep beneath Midgard? Battling trolls, sea monsters, and sorcerers? Just another season for Ansgar and the crew of the Sea Squirrel as they seek revenge for fallen friends. This time, they will need to cross even more dangerous thresholds. The realm of the dead awaits, where secrets are easier to uncover. That deep wisdom has a price, though, and it might cost Ansgar his sanity. It helps to have Haldor Skullsplitter and company watching his back. But it will take all Ansgar's powers of poetry and runes, a guardian spirit, and a shapeshifting sword to survive this adventure. Rune to Ruin is book two in Gregory Amato's Spear of the Gods Saga, where the myths, magic, and monsters of the Viking Age are real.
New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics IX
This book presents contributions to the 18th biannual symposium of the German Aerospace Aerodynamics Association (STAB). The individual chapters reflect ongoing research conducted by the STAB members in the field of numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, mainly for (but not limited to) aerospace applications, and cover both nationally and EC-funded projects. By addressing a number of essential research subjects, together with their related physical and mathematics fundamentals, the book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the current research work in the field, as well as its main challenges and new directions. Current work on e.g. high aspect-ratio and low aspect-ratio wings, bluff bodies, laminar flow control and transition, active flow control, hypersonic flows, aeroelasticity, aeroacoustics and biofluid mechanics is exhaustively discussed here.
Burden to Bear
Telling the Norse myths is a lot easier than living them. Ansgar isn't your typical viking: He tells stories of gods and heroes for a living. When viking crews set out to do something insane, they want a chronicler who can spin the crazy into the heroic. Ansgar runs into one band of brothers intent on doing something truly stupid. They need a skilled storyteller, as their last five were all devoured, drowned, or hacked to death soon after joining. That new recruit has to be capable of surviving long enough to tell the tale, though. Ansgar doesn't want some troll to rip his arms off. But damn, it's going to be a great story if he survives. Burden to Bear is book one of Gregory Amato's Norse fantasy series Spear of the Gods, where the myths, magic, and monsters of the Viking Age are all real.
