Download or read book Breakdown Lane written by Robert Phillips and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades Robert Phillips has built a reputation as one of the outstanding American poets of his generation. Now, in his fifth full collection of verse, that reputation is both confirmed and consolidated. These are thoughtful, substantive poems that may make the reader smile - and reflect. There are autobiographical poems about the poet's childhood, elegies for the recent dead in American arts, extended metaphors on suburban existence, and a long section of poems in which the poet courts, wins, then loses the Muse. Both in voice and performance, Breakdown Lane is a thoroughly consistent and engaging volume.

Download or read book Advanced Highway Driving written by Paul Maravelias and published by Paul Maravelias. This book was released on 2015-01-07 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only book of its kind, "Advanced Highway Driving Tactics for Safety and Optimization" is an unprecedented discussion - a rigorous technical exploration of a neglected yet crucial driver education topic: freeway driving. While most driver education classes and defensive driving books offer a broad overview of safe automobile operation in the highway context, these discussions have traditionally taken a back seat to that of local and secondary traffic environments. Highway driving is however a critical necessity to international commerce, local economic vitality, and every day life in developed societies, calling to need a specialized manual describing invaluable practices to ensure safety and promote a host of optimizations. Driving on the freeway is a potentially lethal task, nevertheless carrying with it certain expenditure costs of time, fuel, environmental, and law enforcement resources. By employing sound optimization techniques, drivers can minimize costs to improve safety, arrive at destinations more quickly, improve fuel-efficiency, decrease legal risks, minimize environmental impact, and increase the overall social utility of the developed world's most prominent means of medium-range transportation: the controlled-access divided highway. "Advanced Highway Driving Tactics for Safety and Optimization" develops a precise tactical model for spatial maneuvering on the highway and reviews topics such as spatial awareness technique, lane optimization, speed choice and control, entrance merging procedures, dangerous situation identification and avoidance, defensive and predictive intervehicular maneuvers, and vehicle control - all supported by thorough explanatory theory and research. Professional driving ability on the highway starts and ends with proper tactics, which this book examines in rich detail.
Download or read book Long term Performance of Corrosion Inhibitors Used in Repair of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Components written by Moavin Islam and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of the project was to determine the effectiveness of cathodic protection, electrochemical chloride extraction, and corrosion-inhibitor treatment systems installed during the SHRP effort through the long-term evaluation of 32 field test sites and a number of laboratory concrete slab specimens. The FHWA program required monitoring the long-term performance of corrosion inhibitor treatments on selected components of four bridges that were treated and evaluated under SHRP C-103. Three evaluations over a period of 5 years were conducted on structures located in Minnesota, New York and Pennsylvania, and two evaluations were conducted on a structure in Washington State. An analysis of the results concluded that neither of the corrosion inhibitors evaluated in this study, using the specified repairs and exposed to the specific environments, provided any corrosion-inhibiting benefit. Shrinkage cracking plagued repairs at all test sites except for the Washington site.
