Download or read book Optimal Human Relations written by C. David Mortensen and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the human desire to live the good life, defined as seeking that which "is good, optimal, or ultimately desirable." While there may be different ways of achieving this goal, the pathways are similar in some ways. In exploring the ways in which these paths cross, Mortensen asserts that an ability to sustain optimal human relations--that is, healthy communication, interpersonal compatibility, and prosocial influence--is a standard against which the good life can be measured. Optimal Human Relations explores the favorable conditions for human beings to live the best possible way of life imaginable; it both argues the case for and documents recent advances in the study of social influences on everyday life. Social influences help to develop an expansive sense of intrinsic motivation in daily encounters with others. While optimal relations are not easily achieved or maintained, it is through healthy relationships that one may pursue pleasure and happiness--even meaning, importance, and significance with valued companions. The cultivation of physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual health through these relations generates an enhanced sense of well-being, growth, and maturity. Mature individuals are more likely to maintain optimal relations by counting daily blessings more than lamenting routine burdens. This inspirational conception of "the good life" invites productive inquiry into the conditions responsible for the pursuit of optimal conditions, fulfilled expectations, and a rich, vital, way of life. It is through this lens that Mortensen measures the good life, pointing to these aspects of human communication as a litmus test of the relative importance of individualistic and collective orientations. Along the way, the reader discovers who and what we are in relation to the quality of the world in which we reside alongside those who journey with us.

Download or read book Multi Mode Resonant Antennas written by Wen-Jun Lu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title provides a unique theoretical framework for multi-mode resonant antennas and different approaches to their implementation, with an emphasis on mode gauge functionality, a new concept for a clear identification and flexible control of all usable resonant modes in multi-mode resonant antenna design. The book commences by advancing a generalized odd-even mode theory as a general theoretical framework for resonant elementary antennas, offering new insights into the classical problem of coupling effects between antenna and transmission lines and helping reveal the operation mechanism of elementary antennas under multi-mode resonance. Then, the concept of "mode gauge" is developed and employed for wideband elementary antenna design by simultaneously exciting and tuning multiple resonant modes within a single radiator. Apart from theoretical explorations, the authors also provide analysis of up-to-date implementation of multi-mode resonant elementary antennas with different functionalities, including wideband antennas, circularly polarized antennas, multiband antennas, frequency scanning antennas and low-profile antennas. Academics, students and professional engineers at all levels will greatly benefit from the book and will be provided with historical background, state-of-the-art methodology, useful design tools and multiple applications of multi-mode resonant antennas.

It shortens subject headings, provides a more intuitive sequence of topics, and reduces the number of classes to nine-freeing up the tenth class for any purpose of the librarian's choosing. It retains Dewey's classic preface and card catalog appendix, removes the outdated index, retains most of Ockerbloom's scope and nomenclature, and adds guidance for digital collections.

Book excerpt: Kerry Edwards's life took an adventurous turn when the world, especially the USA, got hit by the Great Recession of 2008. Unemployment was peaking, people were struggling, and as a salesman, Kerry's luck had withered for there was nothing people were willing to buy. The world was changing, and unfortunately not for the better. Kerry applied at multiple places and got one hit. Driving taxis around the city! Little did he know that his job will bring him some of the craziest stories to narrate. Stories that would one day be compiled as a book for their quirkiness, stemming from Kerry's own 'personalities'. Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood both make cameos in the book from Kerry's mind that push him to be the hero he hides within himself. His introverted persona vanishes when Eastwood takes over the wheel and plays along to the insanity that some of Kerry's rides bring him. From saving a mother and her kids from thugs and druggies, to shutting up a condescending too-good-for-you customer, Kerry has seen it all, and experienced it all. With Connery and Eastwood to guide him through his difficulties, Kerry learned to become a better version of himself as he saved complete strangers, got his heart broken, and traveled the city to drop off the strangest characters to walk this earth
