Download or read book Hyena written by Jude Angelini and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyena is a collection of autobiographical stories by Jude Angelini, which takes the reader on his journey of heartbreak, depravity, and hilarity, deftly moving between his adult life and his childhood growing up in a factory town outside of Detroit. Each story is told with brutal honesty, yet maintains a gallows humor that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief. Jude is one of the top hip-hop radio hosts on Sirius Satellite radio. His self-published, print-on-demand edition of Hyena has been an indie bestseller, despite having no ebook or physical distribution. Its exploration of drugs, sex, and the human condition compares to Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Artie Lange, and Jim Norton. It also captures the hardscrabble culture, language, and landscape of post-industrial Detroit, from which came some of pop culture's most compelling artists.

Download or read book Fins into Limbs written by Brian K. Hall and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago, fish fins evolved into the limbs of land vertebrates and tetrapods. During this transition, some elements of the fin were carried over while new features developed. Lizard limbs, bird wings, and human arms and legs are therefore all evolutionary modifications of the original tetrapod limb. A comprehensive look at the current state of research on fin and limb evolution and development, this volume addresses a wide range of subjects—including growth, structure, maintenance, function, and regeneration. Divided into sections on evolution, development, and transformations, the book begins with a historical introduction to the study of fins and limbs and goes on to consider the evolution of limbs into wings as well as adaptations associated with specialized modes of life, such as digging and burrowing. Fins into Limbs also discusses occasions when evolution appears to have been reversed—in whales, for example, whose front limbs became flippers when they reverted to the water—as well as situations in which limbs are lost, such as in snakes. With contributions from world-renowned researchers, Fins into Limbs will be a font for further investigations in the changing field of evolutionary developmental biology.

Book excerpt: Navine is suffering Incubus addiction--a death sentence for any Sempire. When the search for a cure turns up only one rumor, Navine is horrified to learn the mutant Fin might be her only chance to live. Fearing the taint of the mutant more than fearing death, she continues to push him away as she tries to deny how his touch inflames her. Fin is captivated by Navine the first moment their gazes lock, but Navine rejects him at every turn because of what he is--a male Sempire, an abomination. Fin is burning with the need to touch her, taste her, and he’ll do almost anything to save her. With time running out, passion must overcome prejudice to save Navine’s life and to grant Fin’s fantasy.

Download or read book A Summary of Aerodynamic Characteristics for Wrap around Fins from Mach 0 3 to 3 0 written by James A. Humphrey and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wrap-around fin effectiveness for tube-launched missiles was investigated in a series of 6 wind tunnel tests. Wind tunnels were AEDC Propulsion Wind Tunnel, NASA/Langley Research Center Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel and McDonnell Douglas 4-foot Trisonic Wind Tunnel. Mach number range was 0.3 to 3.0. Basic model was a 2-caliber secant ogive nose with an 8-caliber cylindrical afterbody and 21 fin configurations. Variations in the coefficients are presented for changes in fin geometry including taper ratio and leading edge sweep angle, aspect ratio, exposed semi-span, and root chord length; opening angle, fully closed to 10 deg past fully open; and body step down.

Six component aerodynamic forces and moments were recorded on the complete missile configuration while simultaneously measuring the aerodynamic normal force and bending moments acting on each fin. The fin configuration parameters varied include chord length, fin thickness, leading edge configuration, tip chord geometry and body, root chord gap. The report presents the plotted coefficient data in two volumes. Volume I contains the complete missile aerodynamic data. Volume 2 contains the individual fin aerodynamic data.
