Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Aerospace Dictionary is an authoritative and accessible reference useful to scholars and enthusiasts alike. This dictionary is an essential tool for professionals involved in the aerospace industry and flight, and for anyone who must read and understand the technical literature of the aerospace industry and about specific air and space craft. It is also an ideal reference for engineering and physics students encountering a subject replete with technical jargon and acronyms. Bill Gunston, one of the most widely read and respected aviation writers, has added more than 5,000 new terms and acronyms to this carefully updated volume. Terms used in the dictionary reflect the diverse and international nature of the aerospace industry and include brief explanations of aerospace materials and organizations. Gunston has scrupulously avoided terms specific to manufacturers, airlines, and armed forces in an effort to encourage clear communication and understanding among professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the very near future energy-efficient building will be the rule rather than the exception. Insulating glazing, multi-functional facades and organic solar cells are examples of important new developments in the field of solar thermal technology, photo-voltaics, heating and ventilation technology which are suitable for a wide range of uses from large-scale urban-planning projects to individual single family houses, and can make significant contributions to the conservation of natural resources in sustainable building. Carefully selected articles provide information on planning methods and techniques which will enable the user to assess and apply appropriate measures. The essays are complemented by a selection of built examples which demonstrate innovative solutions and the importance of an integrated planning process in realized projects, complete with full plans and large scale details.

Download or read book Immigrants Turned Activists written by Simone Battiston and published by Troubador Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do Australian celebrity chef Stefano de Pieri, former Labor state MP Giovanni Sgro, and the late SBS Italian Radio host Umberto Martinengo have in common? They are all Italian immigrants who became political militants, along with several hundreds more, in left-wing organisations and parties before or throughout the 1970s in Melbourne, a key period of Australian political history in the post-Second World War period. This book offers a unique insight into the life trajectories of politically active Italian immigrants and their left-wing grassroots organisations. It does so in the light of fresh archival data and a string of oral accounts gathered from former and current members and collaborators of leading left-wing organisations, such as the Italian Federation of Migrant Workers and Their Families (FILEF). This study, which portrays successful pro-migrant lobbying as well as organisational failures and political sectarianism, is a telling example of the political potential and limits of immigrant activism in Australia."

Download or read book The Spatial Dimension of Risk written by Hans-Detlef M?ller-Mahn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through its exploration of the spatial dimension of risk, this book offers a brand new approach to theorizing risk, and significant improvements in how to manage, tolerate and take risks. A broad range of risks are examined, including natural hazards, climate change, political violence, and state failure. Case studies range from the Congo to Central Asia, from tsunami in Japan and civil war affected areas in Sri Lanka to avalanche hazards in Austria. In each of these cases, the authors examine the importance and role of space in the causes and differentiation of risk, in how we can conceptualize risk from a spatial perspective and in the relevance of space and locality for risk governance. This new approach - endorsed by Ragnar Löfstedt and Ortwin Renn, two of the world's leading and most prolific risk analysts - is essential reading for those charged with studying, anticipating and managing risks.

Download or read book Cold War and Decolonisation written by Andrea Benvenuti and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia’s policy towards Britain’s end of empire in Southeast Asia influenced the course of this decolonization in the region. In this book, Andrea Benvenuti discusses the development of Australia’s foreign and defence policies towards Malaya and Singapore in light of the redefinition of Britain’s imperial role in Southeast Asia and the formation of new post-colonial states. Placed within the emerging literature on the global impact of the Cold War, the book sheds new light on the choices made – by Australia, by Britain and the new emerging states – in these crucial years.
Download or read book Mechanical Spectroscopy Q 1 2001 written by Robert Schaller and published by Trans Tech Publications. This book was released on 2001 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanical spectroscopy is a non-desctructive technique that is very well suited for studying the dynamics of singularities such as structural defects in solids. It has been successfully applied in solid state physics and materials science for more than 50 years, and in this textbook aims at summarizing the state-of-the-art in this field by presenting results obtained by Western European laboratories. spectroscopy (Ch. 1) is basedon a complete description of elastic, viscoelastic, and viscoplastic behaviour of solids. The anelastic response is analyzed from three different veiwpoints: phenomenology, rheology and thermodynamics. defect dimensionality: point defects (Ch. 2) one-dimensional defects, such as dislocations (Ch. 3), two-dimensional defects, such as grain boundaries (Ch. 4) or the surface of domains (Ch 6). Mechanical losses associated with phase transitions are presented in chapter 5, and relaxation in non-crystalline materials in chapter 7. as thin-layers, localized surface properties, stress relazation in composites, fatigue and the development of high-damping materials, are described, with examples, in chapter 8. Chapter 9 covers classical, and new, techniques for measuring internal friction or ultrasonic attenuation in solids, from macro- down to nanoscale.
