Large signal amplifiers are dealing with signals whose magnitude is such that the operation of the active element can no longer be considered linear. They are usually designed to get as much power gain and efficiency as possible. That is why they are often called power amplifiers. In this book, two implementations of PA are considered. First, it is of interest to obtain large signals (current or voltage) at the output of a cascade of direct coupled amplifiers. In this case, linearity, frequency response, and speed are the most important requirements. Second are real power amplifiers where the power delivered to the load is of primary interest. Of course, efficiency, linearity, and high frequency response are of interest, too. A very special attention is paid to modern power electronic components such as Power BJT, VDMOS, IGBT, SiC MOS, and GaN HEMT. DC and switching properties of all these devices are studied in much detail. This book also includes a set of appendices which cover: solved problems, SPICE simulation results for selected set of circuits, and a short review of microelectronic technology process ![]() Lean UX: Designing Great Products with Agile Teams by Jeff Gothelf, Josh Seiden English | October 26, 2021 | ISBN: 1098116305 | 254 pages | MOBI | 3.09 Mb Lean UX is synonymous with modern product design and development.

Frisina, Michael E. Frisina English | February 1st, 2023 | ISBN: 1640553274 | 248 pages | True EPUB | 3.31 MB It's never been this urgent to build employee relationships that spark higher brain thinking and the skills to connect with people to encourage their highest performance. In other words, it's vital to engage team members' upper brains, which control critical reasoning, judgment, and creativity. When that positive connection is lacking, leaders risk provoking team members' lower brains-which govern fear and survival behaviors-and creating a toxic workplace. ![]() Joan Frank, "Late Work: A Literary Autobiography of Love, Loss, and What I Was Reading" English | ISBN: 0826364209 | 2022 | 136 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Curious, ruminative, and wry, this literary autobiography tours what Rachel Kushner called "the strange remove that is the life of the writer." Frank's essays cover a vast spectrum-from handling dismissive advice, facing the dilemma of thwarted ambition, and copying the generosity that inspires us, to the miraculous catharsis of letter-writing and some of the books that pull us through. Useful for writers at any stage of development, Late Work ![]() Laboratory Methods for Soil Health Analysis by Douglas L. Karlen, Diane E. Stott, Maysoon M. Mikha English | August 24, 2021 | ISBN: 0891189823 | 352 pages | EPUB | 8.53 Mb Laboratory Methods for Soil Health Analysis ![]() Tim Hartman, "Kwame Bediako: African Theology for a World Christianity" English | ISBN: 1506480454 | 2022 | 209 pages | EPUB | 627 KB Ghanaian theologian Kwame Bediako presses all Christians to question their own theological commitments. He does so by rethinking Christian identity in light of cultural identity and the shortcomings of colonialism. Bediako's quest to be both African and Christian informs what it means to be Christian in a secularized Europe and North America. Far more than just chronological and biographical, Tim Hartman's analysis of the arc of Bediako's theology demonstrates that Bediako's vision of Christianity as a non-Western religion allows it to serve as a resource for World Christianity amid the exponential growth of Christianity in the Global South. ![]() Jr Douglas W. W. Bristol, "Knights of the Razor: Black Barbers in Slavery and Freedom" English | ISBN: 1421418398 | 2015 | 232 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Black barbers, reflected a freed slave who barbered in antebellum St. Louis, may have been the only men in their community who enjoyed, at all times, the privilege of free speech. The reason lay in their temporary-but absolute-power over a client. With a flick of the wrist, they could have slit the throats of the white men they shaved. In Knights of the Razor, Douglas Walter Bristol, Jr., explores this extraordinary relationship in the largely untold story of African American barbers, North and South, from the American Revolution to the First World War. ![]() Killing It On Kobo: Leverage Insights to Optimize Publishing and Marketing Strategies, Grow Your Global Sales and Increase Revenue on Kobo By Mark Leslie Lefebvre 2019 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 1386521086 | EPUB | 3 MB Do you want to increase your overall sales and visibility on Kobo?Are you having trouble gaining any traction or growing your reader base outside the Kindle store?Wouldn't it be empowering not to be dependent upon a single retailer for the majority of your eBook income?If you want to tap into the mind behind the creation of Kobo's world-class self-publishing platform, Kobo Writing Life, to understand both the basics and some of the complexities of the platform, then look no further.Mark Leslie Lefebvre was the Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations at Kobo for six years.
