 Timber Designers' Manual By E. C. Ozelton, J. A. Baird 2002 | 554 Pages | ISBN: 0632039787 | PDF | 4 MB This major reference manual covers both overall and detail design of structural timber, including aspects such as shear deflection, creep, dynamic and lateral stability considerations for flexural members. It has been substantially revised to take account of changes since the last edition, nearly 20 years ago, and to include the latest revision of British Standard BS 5268-2 : 2002, which has brought design concepts closer to European practice and Eurocode 5. New features of the Third Edition include: revised information on bolt values including a consideration of improved performance using 8.8 grade bolts new chapters on composite sections and Eurocode 5 on structural timber new developments in materials and products horizontal roof and floor diaphragms vertical shear walls The manual continues to provide extensive tables and coefficients that will save the practising engineer many design hours. It will also be of interest as a reference for civil engineering undergraduates and to timber manufacturers. Whilst the design examples in the book are based on BS 5268, a large part of the content will have international appeal, whatever code or standard is being used.

 Peter Kúš, "Thin-Film Catalysts for Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers and Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030208583 | PDF | pages: 113 | 6.9 mb This work revolves around the hydrogen economy and energy-storage electrochemical systems. More specifically, it investigates the possibility of using magnetron sputtering for deposition of efficient thin-film anode catalysts with low noble metal content for proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEM-WEs) and unitized regenerative fuel cells (PEM-URFCs). The motivation for this research derives from the urgent need to minimize the price of such electrochemical devices should they enter the mass production.
 Thermal Plasma Torches and Technologies: Plasma Torches: Basic Studies and Design (v. 1) by O P Solonenko English | pages: 410 | 2000 | ISBN: 1898326592 | PDF | 4 mb This unique two-volume book is published to celebrate the life and achievements of Prof Mikhael F Zhukov, one of the leading Russian scientists working in the area of plasma science and technology.  Eric David Perl, "Theophany: The Neoplatonic Philosophy of Dionysius the Areopagite (S U N Y Series in Ancient Greek Philosophy)" English | ISBN 10: 079147111X | 2007 | PDF | 163 pages | 3.4 MB Situates Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite as a Neoplatonic philosopher in the tradition of Descriptioninus and Proclus.  The Weight Maintenance Manual: How to achieve and maintain your ideal weight by Steve Marshall, Caroline Ross English | ISBN: 1838183906 | 282 pages | EPUB | January 3, 2021 | 0.58 Mb We are Steve and Caroline. Between the two of us, we lost fifteen stone and we have kept it off for several years. This book tells you how we did it, and it will help you to achieve something similar. It is for people who want to lose weight, but are particularly interested in keeping that weight off forever. It is based on the idea that long-term maintenance of a healthy weight depends on losing weight in the right way. We do not push exciting and exotic new miracle diets - diets that, somehow, the entire medical establishment has been too stupid to notice until now! Instead, we explain clearly  Newton Lee, "The Transhumanism Handbook" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030169197 | PDF | pages: 837 | 17.9 mb Modern humanity with some 5,000 years of recorded history has been experiencing growing pains, with no end in sight. It is high time for humanity to grow up and to transcend itself by embracing transhumanism.

The book is remarkable not only for the historical depth it lends to our understanding of Hindu nationalism but also for the insights it affords contemporary politics in India.--Akhil Gupta, Stanford University The rise of strong nationalist and religious movements in postcolonial and newly democratic countries alarms many Western observers. In The Saffron Wave, Thomas Hansen turns our attention to recent events in the world's largest democracy, India. Here he analyzes Indian receptivity to the right-wing Hindu nationalist party and its political wing, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which claims to create a polity based on ''ancient'' Hindu culture. Rather than interpreting Hindu nationalism as a mainly religious phenomenon, or a strictly political movement, Hansen places the BJP within the context of the larger transformations of democratic governance in India. Hansen demonstrates that democratic transformation has enabled such developments as political mobilization among the lower castes and civil protections for religious minorities. Against this backdrop, the Hindu nationalist movement has successfully articulated the anxieties and desires of the large and amorphous Indian middle class. A form of conservative populism, the movement has attracted not only privileged groups fearing encroachment on their dominant positions but also ''plebeian'' and impoverished groups seeking recognition around a majoritarian rhetoric of cultural pride, order, and national strength. Combining political theory, ethnographic material, and sensitivity to colonial and postcolonial history, The Saffron Wave offers fresh insights into Indian politics and, by focusing on the links between democracy and ethnic majoritarianism, advances our understanding of democracy in the postcolonial world. |
