Alexander Gibson, "Algorithms and Auguries" English | 2013 | ASIN: B00EHLAG6G | EPUB | pages: 32 | 0.7 mb Many call ancient Egyptian mathematics merely a recipe book for calculations; this belies a fundamental ignorance of sentential logic systems. This book draws links between the world of ancient number theory and modern programming languages, as well as posits a foundation for the investigation of synchronicity. Investigate the underlying meaning of number theory through the hidden discussion of mathematics and spirituality permeating society from Pythagoras to Pascal.
Aircraft and Rotorcraft System Identification: Engineering Methods with Flight-Test Examples by Mark B. Tischler English | PDF | 2012 | 560 Pages | ISBN : 1600868207 | 10.6 MB Presenting proven methods, practical guidelines, and real-world flight-test results for a wide range of state-of-the-art flight vehicles, "Aircraft and Rotorcraft System Identification, Second Edition" addresses the entire process of aircraft and rotorcraft system identification from instrumentation and flight testing to model determination, validation, and application of the results. In this highly anticipated second edition, authors Tischler and Remple have added dedicated in-depth chapters presenting extended model structures and identification results for large flexible transport aircraft, and the detailed methodology to develop a continuous full flight envelope simulation model from individual system identification models and trim test data. Topics Discussed include: Frequency-response methods that are especially well suited for system identification of flight vehicle models from flight-test data; specific guidelines for flight testing, data analysis, and the proper selection of model structure complexity; and emphasis on the importance of physical insight in model development and applications. University of Washington J. Mattingly, U.S. Air Force Academy W. Heiser, University of Washington and D. Pratt, "Aircraft Engine Design, Second Edition" English | 2003 | pages: 716 | ISBN: 1563475383 | PDF | 5,4 mb This text presents a complete and realistic aircraft engine design experience. From the request for proposal for a new aircraft to the final engine layout, the book provides the concepts and procedures required for the entire process. It is an expanded and updated version of the first edition that emphasizes contemporary developments impacting engine design such as theta break/throttle ratio, life management, controls, and stealth. The key steps of the process are detailed in ten chapters that encompass aircraft constraint analysis, aircraft mission analysis, engine parametric (design point) analysis, engine performance (off-design) analysis, engine installation drag and sizing, and the design of inlets, fans, compressors, main combustors, turbines, afterburners, and exhaust nozzles. Air Transport and its Subsidies English | 2022 | ISBN: 3658388986 | 156 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 0.7 MB The book deals with the subsidies of air transport. It shows which subsidies are used to promote air transport and how the subsidies influence the various segments of air transport. The types of subsidies dealt with correspond to the OECD's delimitation. In addition to tax breaks and transfers, capital subsidies, infrastructure subsidies, regulatory deficits and non-internalised externalities are also included. The areas of air transport in which subsidies are identified are airports, airlines and air traffic control. Furthermore, aircraft manufacturers and research as well as air transport regulation, the behaviour of MPs and airport-related infrastructure are dealt with. The subject is of general and long-term interest. The book is the most comprehensive and systematic compilation of subsidies available. The result is that air transport is permeated by a largely uncoordinated system of subsidies in all its areas, the overall effects of which have not been recorded until today. After Identity: A Reader In Law And Culture By Dan Danielsen; Karen Engle 1995 | 396 Pages | ISBN: 0415909961 | PDF | 7 MB Authored by the leading voices in critical legal studies, feminist legal theory, critical race theory and queer legal theory, After Identity explores the importance of sexual, national and other identities in people's lived experiences while simultaneously challenging the limits of legal strategies focused on traditional identity groups. These new ways of thinking about cultural identity have implications for strategies for legal reform, as well as for progressive thinking generally about theory, culture and politics. African Awakening: The Emerging Revolutions By Sokari Ekine (editor), Firoze Manji (editor) 2011 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 0857490214 | PDF | 4 MB An insightful and comprehensive compilation of the year's events, this record offers in-the-moment comment and analysis as well as informed reflection on the 2011 African uprisings. While the tumultuous uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya have seized the attention of media analysts, the concurrent rebellions in Benin, Gabon, Senegal, Swaziland, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda, and in other parts of the African continent have gone virtually unnoticed. Arguing that these disturbances are the result of decades of declining living standards, mass unemployment, land dispossessions, and impoverishment of the majority, this account provides an overview of the struggle for democratization, which constitutes a reawakening of the spirit of freedom and justice for all.
