Book 1: Learning How to Fly is now available! Nelson is a superhero with an embarrassing problem… He can't fly very well and he's been ordered to attend remedial flying school. If he doesn't pass the class he'll lost his superhero license and have to work at the weather bureau. But a class in remedial flying is just the beginning of his problems. His girlfriend thinks he's self-obsessed, and his mom won't get off his case about not living up to the family legacy. When Nelson is framed for a crime and sent to the Defining Center of Adjustments, the sinister warden Pretty Boy will challenge everything he thought he knew about being a hero. If Nelson can't get his act together and realize that what makes a superhero isn't the costume, but the actions the superhero takes, he might lose more than his career. He might lose his life and everyone important to him.

Download or read book Technology Enhanced Learning and Cognition written by Itiel E. Dror and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of technology in learning has increased dramatically. Training and education is now utilizing and almost integrated with the World Wide Web, podcasts, mobile and distant learning, interactive videos, serious games, and a whole range of e-learning. However, has such technology enhanced learning been effective? And how can it better serve training and education?E-learning must be 'brain friendly', so it optimizes learning to the cognitive architecture of the learners. If technology enhanced learning promotes the formation of effective mental representations and works with the human cognitive system, then the learners will not only be able to acquire information more efficiently, but they will also remember it better and use it. Technology should not be the driving force in shaping e-learning, but rather how that technology can better serve the cognitive system. This volume, originally published as a special issue of Pragmatics & Cognition 16:2 (2008) and partly in Pragmatics & Cognition 17:1 (2009), explores the research frontiers in cognition and learning technology. It provides important theoretical insights into these issues, as well as very practical implications of how to make e-learning more brain friendly and effective.

Download or read book Applications of Machine Learning in UAV Networks written by Hassan, Jahan and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-01-17 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applications of Machine Learning in UAV Networks presents a pioneering exploration into the symbiotic relationship between machine learning techniques and UAVs. In an age where UAVs are revolutionizing sectors as diverse as agriculture, environmental preservation, security, and disaster response, this meticulously crafted volume offers an analysis of the manifold ways machine learning drives advancements in UAV network efficiency and efficacy. This book navigates through an expansive array of domains, each demarcating a pivotal application of machine learning in UAV networks. From the precision realm of agriculture and its dynamic role in yield prediction to the ecological sensitivity of biodiversity monitoring and habitat restoration, the contours of each domain are vividly etched. These explorations are not limited to the terrestrial sphere; rather, they extend to the pivotal aerial missions of wildlife conservation, forest fire monitoring, and security enhancement, where UAVs adorned with machine learning algorithms wield an instrumental role. Scholars and practitioners from fields as diverse as machine learning, UAV technology, robotics, and IoT networks will find themselves immersed in a confluence of interdisciplinary expertise. The book's pages cater equally to professionals entrenched in agriculture, environmental studies, disaster management, and beyond.

Download or read book An Analytical Study of V STOL Handling Qualities in Hover and Transition written by R. L. Stapleford and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hover analysis considers pilot attitude and position control tasks in the presence of horizontal gusts. The effects of each of the stability derivatives on the difficulty of the control tasks and on the closed-loop gust responses are determined. It is clearly shown that the handling qualities studies of control sensitivity and angular damping must consider the influences of M sub u (or L sub v) and should include gust inputs. These conclusions are substantiated by previous variable-stability-helicopter experiments. The effects of vehicle size and geometry are investigated by several approaches. The key result of increasing size is found to be a reduction in M sub u and L sub v which can, in turn, lower the requirements for control power and damping. The handling qualities during transition of two vehicles, a tilt duct and a tilt wing, which were previously tested on a simulator are analyzed. It is shown that both trim control and perturbations about the trim conditions must be considered. In fact, part of the increased difficulty in landing transitions, in comparison with takeoff transitions, is due to more difficult trim control; the much more stringent position control requirements in landing are also a contributing factor.
