The name Prachurya means Goddess of wealth in ancient Sanskrit. True to that meaning, Prachurya Bharadwaj the author, has accumulated herself an ocean of experiences, that very few 28-year-olds would fathom. She didn’t just stop at one post-graduate degree in engineering but pursued another one, then some more professional courses after that. At 21, when she went abroad to study, she found internship opportunities in one country, created a start-up in another followed by full-time positions, then again in another country where she bought her first house. This book is a story of her defeating all odds, taking proactive measures, rising above those who thought too little of her, healing hers...
Using the easily-learned "D-I-S-C" system, Rohm's "Positive Personality Profiles" helps readers to understand themselves and others. The book describes key differences in basic personality types, give practical insights into how people, and explain methods for working better with others.
This book serves as a textbook for senior undergraduate students who are learning the subject of general relativity and gravitational waves for the first time. Both authors have been teaching the course in various forms for a few decades and have designed the book as a one stop book at basic level including derivations and exercises. A spectacular prediction of general relativity is gravitational waves. Gravitational waves were first detected by the LIGO detectors in 2015, hundred years after their prediction. Both authors are part of the LIGO Science Collaboration and were authors on the discovery paper. Therefore, a strong motivation for this book is to provide the essential concepts of ge...
The author offers a detailed and realistic, sometimes enchanted, description of the current world situation. An eclectic tormented world full of problems, inequalities, injustices, degradation... What the author tries to do through his intricately crafted words is not only to identify the problems that afflict all the people of the world but to try to offer solutions to challenges that we face every day globally. His words are harsh but at the same time true, objective testimony, of a world that seems to have forgotten harmony, peace, and equality. He successfully stirs the reader to reflect upon the world we live in. Promise Beshel, born in Nigeria in 1985, grew to be passionate about the u...
Computational mechanics is a scientific discipline that marries physics, computers, and mathematics to emulate natural physical phenomena. It is a technology that allows scientists to study and predict the performance of various productsâ€"important for research and development in the industrialized world. This book describes current trends and future research directions in computational mechanics in areas where gaps exist in current knowledge and where major advances are crucial to continued technological developments in the United States.
The greatest and most conflicted nation of our world democratically chose an Afro-American to serve as first citizen, and it happened twice already. On the 4th of November 2008, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States of America by defeating the Republican candidate, Senator John McCain and by prevailing over Hillary Clinton. On the 6th of November 2012, he was confirmed in his office when he triumphed over the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney. This was an unprecedented event. By making this choice, the United States of America stressed the importance of equality between men and women, the equal dignity, and the fact that everyone can aim for the highest office in the land. ...
Since the most ancient human civilizations, it was clear that the best way to cure any illness is prevention. But where does prevention start? This required more time to be understood, as the science of medicine developed and humanity grasped the understanding of how our bodies work. Today we know without the shadow of a doubt that, first and foremost, prevention starts from what we eat and how we exercise our bodies, and, in theory, it’s not hard to understand how to be healthy. We just have to eat fruit and go jogging, right? Well, not exactly. And looking for more detailed advice is not as simple as it seems. In the internet era, having access to every imaginable kind of information is ...
Farewell Party is an autobiographical novel and consists of three sections. The first section shows two farewell rituals: an aged man in his late 70s performs in the high mountain before the tombs of his ancestors with a flutist playing Daegeum sanjo (a piece of traditional Korean melodies). The other ritual with a pansori song follows the first one before a tomb on the seashore of an uninhabited island. The book’s second section appears as a flow of the aged man’s consciousness, so it seems not to follow the physical sequence of time. The sea, which used to be near in his boyhood, turns up vividly through his retrospection. Then, unexpectedly, there appears a flamenco dancer. He had met...
Tribology of Polymer Composites: Characterization, Properties, and Applications provides an exhaustive overview of the latest research, trends, applications and future directions of the tribology of polymer composites. Covering novel methods for the synthesis of polymer composites and their properties, the book starts by reviewing the fabrication techniques, wear and frictional properties of polymer composite materials. From there, it features chapters looking at the tribological behavior and properties of specific polymer composite materials such as synthetic fiber-reinforced, cellulose fiber-reinforced, wood fiber, synthetic fiber, mineral fiber-reinforced, and thermosetting composites. Final chapters cover the tribology of polymer nanocomposites and particulate polymer composites and their metal coatings. Applied examples spanning a wide range of industries are emphasized in each chapter. - Demonstrates the potential of polymer composites and their applications - Covers novel methods for the synthesis of polymer composites and their properties - Reviews the fabrication techniques, wear and frictional properties of polymer composite materials
