A/AS Level History for AQA The Quest for Political Stability: Germany, 1871–1991 Student Book
A new series of bespoke, full-coverage resources developed for the AQA 2015 A/AS Level History. Written for the AQA A/AS Level History specifications for first teaching from 2015, this print Student Book covers The Quest for Political Stability: Germany, 1871-1991 Breadth component. Completely matched to the new AQA specification, this full-colour Student Book provides valuable background information to contextualise the period of study. Supporting students in developing their critical thinking, research and written communication skills, it also encourages them to make links between different time periods, topics and historical themes.
The Evolving Universe
This revolutionary book proposes that the universe did not begin with a Big Bang and that it is slowly converging to an equilibrium state. Key features of the book include: ? The modern model of the atom. ? How the Earth and Solar System formed. ? Evolution of life on Earth. ? Nucleosynthesis in stars. ? Recent changes in the Solar System. ? The various entities in the universe, including black holes, quasars and supernovas. ? The interstellar medium. ? The classical theory of relativity. ? Beunkers alternative theory of relativity. ? The Steady State Universe theory. ? The Big Bang theory of the universe is disproved. ? Redshift is caused by cosmic dust, not the Doppler Effect and an expand...
Marine Structural Design
Marine Structural Design, Second Edition, is a wide-ranging, practical guide to marine structural analysis and design, describing in detail the application of modern structural engineering principles to marine and offshore structures. Organized in five parts, the book covers basic structural design principles, strength, fatigue and fracture, and reliability and risk assessment, providing all the knowledge needed for limit-state design and re-assessment of existing structures. Updates to this edition include new chapters on structural health monitoring and risk-based decision-making, arctic marine structural development, and the addition of new LNG ship topics, including composite materials a...
Industrial Metrology
The subject of this book is surface metrology, in particular two major aspects: surface texture and roundness. It has taken a long time for manufacturing engineers and designers to realise the usefulness of these features in quality of conformance and quality of design. Unfortunately this awareness has come at a time when engineers versed in the use and specification of surfaces are at a premium. Traditionally surface metrology usage has been dictated by engineers who have served long and demanding apprenticeships, usually in parallel with studies leading to technician-level qualifications. Such people understood the processes and the achievable accuracies of machine tools, thereby enabling ...
Robust Estimation and Failure Detection
This book introduces robust estimation and failure detection, with a thorough presentation of Kalman filtering and H-infinity filtering theory. These estimation techniques make it possible for engineers to design estimators that are more general and robust. The book also reviews the likelihood ratio method for failure detection and demonstrates how to design failure detectors that are sensitive to failures but insensitive to model variations. This book will give engineers a concise presentation of these important techniques, as well as an overview of important robust control developments of the last fifteen years.
CNC Machining Technology
This is the third volume of three which will give the reader an insight into the current state of CNC technology with a focus on practical applications. This volume deals with CNC programming. It has been written in conjunction with a major European supplier of controllers in order to give the reader a more consistent and in-depth understanding of the logic used to program such machines. It explains how why and where to program specific features of a part and how to build them up into complete programs. Thus, the reader will learn about the main aspects of the logical structure and compilation of a program. Finally, there is a brief review of so me of the typical controllers currently available from both universal and proprietary builders. The author draws on his extensive experience as a practitioner and teacher. The text is thoroughly practical in character and generously illustrated with diagrams and photographs.
Intelligent Vision Systems for Industry
The application of intelligent imaging techniques to industrial vision problems is an evolving aspect of current machine vision research. Machine vision is a relatively new technology, more concerned with systems engineering than with computer science, and with much to offer the manufacturing industry in terms of improving efficiency, safety and product quality. Beginning with an introductory chapter on the basic concepts, the authors develop these ideas to describe intelligent imaging techniques for use in a new generation of industrial imaging systems. Sections cover the application of AI languages such as Prolog, the use of multi-media interfaces and multi-processor systems, external device control, and colour recognition. The text concludes with a discussion of several case studies that illustrate how intelligent machine vision techniques can be used in industrial applications.
