 Sean Manning, "Armed Force in the Teispid-achaemenid Empire: Past Approaches, Future Prospects " English | ISBN: 3515127755 | 2020 | 437 pages | PDF | 5 MB The armies of Cyrus, Xerxes and Darius III are usually understood through the lens of classical literature and stereotypes about the orient. Sean Manning proposes a new understanding based on all kinds of evidence and the study of the ancient Near East. He examines the last century and a half of research in its historical and ideological context. Three core chapters treat Akkadian tablets, Aramaic documents, royal inscriptions, and artifacts as sources in their own right, not compliments to Herodotus. The different perspectives of Iranian philologists, Mesopotamian archaeologists and historians of ancient Greece are considered and addressed. A series of case studies show that the Greek and Latin texts can be read in unfamiliar ways which can survive stronger criticism than traditional interpretations. The king's troops were not literary foils to show the virtues of Greek hoplites or Scythian horsemen, they were agents of an early world empire which drew on long traditions and the latest innovations to gather money, soldiers, and workers and deploy them at the will of the king.

It was written on the demand of the students in our courses who try to understand given solutions from their books or to solve problems from scratch.Often solutions in text books cannot be reproduced due to minor mistakes or lack of mathematical knowledge. Here we walk the reader step by step through the solutions given in all details. We thereby are trying to address students with different educational background and bridge the gap between undergraduate studies, advanced courses on mechanics and practical engineering problems. It is an easy read with plenty of illustrations which brings the student forward in applying theory to problems. This is the fourth volume of 'Another Book on Engineering Mechanics' covering bending and stress of elastic beams and deflection curve determination.This is a valuable supplement to a text book in any introductory mechanics course.
 An Introduction to Thermogeology: Ground Source Heating and Cooling, 2nd Edition By David Banks(auth.) 2012 | 539 Pages | ISBN: 0470670347 | PDF | 10 MB This authoritative guide provides a basis for understanding the emerging technology of ground source heating and cooling. It equips engineers, geologists, architects, planners and regulators with the fundamental skills needed to manipulate the ground's huge capacity to store, supply and receive heat, and to implement technologies (such as heat pumps) to exploit that capacity for space heating and cooling. The author has geared the book towards understanding ground source heating and cooling from the ground side (the geological aspects), rather than solely the building aspects. He explains the science behind thermogeology and offers practical guidance on different design options.An Introduction to Thermogeology: ground source heating and cooling is aimed primarily at professionals whose skill areas impinge on the emerging technology of ground source heating and cooling. They will be aware of the importance of the technology and wish to rapidly acquire fundamental theoretical understanding and design skills.This second edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded to cover new technical developments and now includes end-of-chapter study questions to testthe reader'sunderstanding.Content: Chapter 1 An Introduction (pages 1-10): Chapter 2 Geothermal Energy (pages 11-39): Chapter 3 The Subsurface as a Heat Storage Reservoir (pages 40-78): Chapter 4 What Is a Heat Pump? (pages 79-113): Chapter 5 Heat Pumps and Thermogeology: A Brief History and International Perspective (pages 114-132): Chapter 6 Ground Source Cooling (pages 133-149): Chapter 7 Options and Applications for Ground Source Heat Pumps (pages 150-201): Chapter 8 The Design of Groundwater?Based Open?Loop Systems (pages 202-247): Chapter 9 Pipes, Pumps and the Hydraulics of Closed?Loop Systems (pages 248-278): Chapter 10 Subsurface Heat Conduction and the Design of Borehole?Based Closed?Loop Systems (pages 279-324): Chapter 11 Horizontal Closed?Loop Systems (pages 325-352): Chapter 12 Pond? and Lake?Based Ground Source Heat Systems (pages 353-371): Chapter 13 Standing Column Wells (pages 372-382): Chapter 14 Thinking Big: Large?Scale Heat Storage and Transfer (pages 383-409): Chapter 15 Thermal Response Testing (pages 410-431): Chapter 16 Environmental Impact, Regulation and Geohazards (pages 432-462):  Ambipolar Materials and Devices English | 2021 | ISBN: 1788018680 | 462 Pages | PDF (True) | 34 MB Ambipolar materials represent a class of materials where positive and negative charge carriers can both transport concurrently. In recent years, a diverse range of materials have been synthesized and utilized for implementing ambipolar charge transport, with applications in high‐density data storage, field effect transistors, nanotransitors, photonic memory, biomaterial-based memories and artificial synapses. This book highlights recent development of ambipolar materials involving materials design, fundamental principles, interface modifications, device structures, ambipolar characteristics and promising applications. Challenges and prospects for investigating ambipolar materials in electronics and optoelectronics are also discussed. With contributions from global leaders in the field, this title will appeal to graduate students and researchers who want to understand the design, materials characteristics, device operation principles, specialized device application and mechanisms of the latest ambipolar materials.
