 Dimitri P. Bertsekas, "Convex Optimization Theory" English | 2009 | pages: 256 | ISBN: 1886529310 | DJVU | 3,9 mb An insightful, concise, and rigorous treatment of the basic theory of convex sets and functions in finite dimensions, and the analytical/geometrical foundations of convex optimization and duality theory. Convexity theory is first developed in a simple accessible manner, using easily visualized proofs. Then the focus shifts to a transparent geometrical line of analysis to develop the fundamental duality between descriptions of convex sets and functions in terms of points and in terms of hyperplanes. Finally, convexity theory and abstract duality are applied to problems of constrained optimization, Fenchel and conic duality, and game theory to develop the sharpest possible duality results within a highly visual geometric framework. The book may be used as a text for a theoretical convex optimization course; the author has taught several variants of such a course at MIT and elsewhere over the last ten years. It may also be used as a supplementary source for nonlinear programming classes, and as a theoretical foundation for classes focused on convex optimization models (rather than theory). It is an ideal companion to the books Convex Optimization Algorithms, and Nonlinear Programming by the same author.  Control Techniques Drives and Controls Handbook By Drury, Bill 2001 | 374 Pages | ISBN: 0852967934 | PDF | 17 MB This is the first commercially published edition of this bestselling book by the Control Techniques company, a leading manufacturer of drives and control units to the electronics and manufacturing industries. The revised handbook has been extensively expanded and is well-written and illustrated. It is a very comprehensive guide to the technology underlying drives, motors and control units and contains a wealth of technical information for the practicing drives and electrical engineer. However, its practical approach will make it invaluable as a reference work on the shelf of every engineering department and library.  Tula A Connell, "Conservative Counterrevolution: Challenging Liberalism in 1950s Milwaukee " English | ISBN: 0252081420 | 2016 | 272 pages | EPUB | 3 MB In the 1950s, Milwaukee's strong union movement and socialist mayor seemed to embody a dominant liberal consensus that sought to continue and expand the New Deal. Tula Connell explores how business interests and political conservatives arose to undo that consensus, and how the resulting clash both shaped a city and helped redefine postwar American politics. Connell focuses on Frank Zeidler, the city's socialist mayor. Zeidler's broad concept of the public interest at times defied even liberal expectations. At the same time, a resurgence of conservatism with roots presaging twentieth-century politics challenged his initiatives in public housing, integration, and other areas. As Connell shows, conservatives created an anti-progressive game plan that included a well-funded media and PR push; an anti-union assault essential to the larger project of delegitimizing any government action; opposition to civil rights; and support from a suburban silent majority. In the end, the campaign undermined notions of the common good essential to the New Deal order. It also sowed the seeds for grassroots conservatism's more extreme and far-reaching future success.  Concrete Pressure Pipe By 2008 | 279 Pages | ISBN: 1583215492 | PDF | 33 MB This comprehensive operations manual for water service explains the use of concrete pressure pipe. The manual provides all the supplemental information engineers and designers need to optimize field performance of concrete pressure pipelines. Coverage includes hydraulics, surge pressure, external loads, bedding, and backfilling; designing reinforced concrete pressure pipe, fittings and appurtenances, thrust restraints, pipe on piers, trench and tunnel installation, and subaqueous installations; design considerations for corrosive environments; and transportation of pipe, hydrostatic testing, tapping, and disinfection. In addition, this edition offers guide specifications for the purchase and installation of concrete pressure pipe to assist the engineer and purchaser to assure specified product performance.  Computer Modeling of Water Distribution Systems By 2005 | 171 Pages | ISBN: 1583213457 | PDF | 19 MB Computer models of water distribution systems are tools that have evolved over time to help water system designers, operators, and managers deliver safe, reliable water at low cost. This manual provides water professionals the basics of distribution system modeling, including information on model preparation, system tests and measurements, steady-state and extended-period simulations, and water quality modeling. It also covers data collection, model design, calibration, and the many uses for distribution system computer models.

Linda Barrett Osborne, "Come On In, America: The United States in World War I" English | ISBN: 1419723782 | 2017 | 176 pages | EPUB | 5 MB On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany and joined World War I. German submarine attacks on American ships in March 1917 were the overt motive for declaring war, but the underlying reasons were far more complex. Even after the United States officially joined, Americans were divided on whether they should be a part of it. Americans were told they were fighting a war for democracy, but with racial segregation rampant in the United States, new laws against dissent and espionage being passed, and bankers and industrial leaders gaining increased influence and power, what did democracy mean?
