Download or read book Rebuilding a Layout from A Z written by Pelle K. Søeborg and published by Model Railroader's How-To Guid. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After completing his Daneville & Donner River layout, Pelle Søeborg realized that he could build a better layout, so he did. Pelle kept seeing things he wanted to redo, and as he discovered new techniques and materials, his list of projects grew. Some projects involved major renovation, so it was easier to tear down the Daneville & Donner River layout and start over with a new model railroad, the Union Pacific's Daneville Subdivision. [This book] takes you through the complete construction process. Using the lessons Pelle learned from building his previous layout, the book covers benchwork, track, scenery, backdrops, and more."--p. [4] of cover.

Book excerpt: AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF 2O16 PICK IN BUSINESS & LEADERSHIP WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER A BUSINESS BOOK OF THE WEEK AT 800-CEO-READ Master one of our economy’s most rare skills and achieve groundbreaking results with this “exciting” book (Daniel H. Pink) from an “exceptional” author (New York Times Book Review). Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep Work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way. In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill. 1. Work Deeply 2. Embrace Boredom 3. Quit Social Media 4. Drain the Shallows A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.
Download or read book Switch Mode Power Converters written by Keng C. Wu and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Switch-Mode Power Converters introduces an innovative, highly analytical approach to symbolic, closed-form solutions for switched-mode power converter circuits. This is a highly relevant topic to power electronics students and professionals who are involved in the design and analysis of electrical power converters. The author uses extensive equations to explain how solid-state switches convert electrical voltages from one level to another, so that electronic devices (e.g., audio speakers, CD players, DVD players, etc.) can use different voltages more effectively to perform their various functions. Most existing comparable books published as recently as 2002 do not discuss closed-loop operations, nor do they provide either DC closed-loop regulation equations or AC loop gain (stability) formulae. The author Wu, a leading engineer at Lockheed Martin, fills this gap and provides among the first descriptions of how error amplifiers are designed in conjunction with closed-loop bandwidth selection. BENEFIT TO THE READER: Readers will gain a mathematically rigorous introduction to numerous, closed-form solutions that are readily applicable to the design and development of various switch-mode power converters. - Provides symbolic, closed-form solutions for DC and AC studies - Provides techniques for expressing close-loop operation - Gives readers the ability to perform closed-loop regulation and sensitivity studies - Gives readers the ability to design error amplifiers with precision - Employs the concept of the continuity of states in matrix form - Gives accelerated time-domain, steady-state studies using Laplace transform - Gives accelerated time-domain studies using state transition - Extensive use of matrix, linear algebra, implicit functions, and Jacobian determinants - Enables the determination of power stage gain that otherwise could not be obtained
