Book excerpt: A wild outer-space fantasy about fixing your mistakes and the friends you meet along the way. When Jo, a headstrong maintenance technician, makes an error that destabilizes her planet's core, she only knows one way to fix things: leaving her underground home for a trip to the planet's dangerous, unruly surface. Soon she's wandering through deserts, riding on the backs of giant beasts, and cutting deals with con artists and bounty hunters. Meanwhile, agents of the core are in hot pursuit. J. N. Monk and Harry Bogosian (co-creators of the web-comic StarHammer) present a wild outer-space fantasy about fixing your mistakes and the friends you meet along the way.

Download or read book Design Aids for Offshore Topside Platforms Under Special Loads written by Srinivasan Chandrasekaran and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offshore platforms face many risks, including a hostile ocean environment, extreme temperatures, overpressure loads, fire risks, and hydrocarbon explosions, all of which pose unique challenges in designing their topside platforms. The topside design also involves the selection of appropriate materials to reduce fire risk without compromising the functional requirements. These platforms serve valuable, utility, production, and processing purposes, and can also provide living quarters for personnel. Concepts such as basic design, special design, materials selection, and risk hazards are explained in the authors' straightforward classroom style, and are based on their rich experience in both academia and industry. Features • Includes practical examples which are solved using international codes to offer a better understanding of the subjects presented • Addresses safety and risk of offshore platforms, and considers numerous topside accident scenarios • Discusses the structural and mechanical properties of various materials, such as steel and newer functionally graded materials (FGMs) Design Aids for Offshore Topside Platforms Under Special Loads serves as a design manual for multi-disciplinary engineering graduates and practicing professionals working in civil, mechanical, offshore, naval, and petroleum engineering fields. In addition, the book will serve as reference manual for practicing design engineers and risk assessors.

Download or read book In flight Characteristics of the Topside Ionospheric Monitor SSIE on the DMSP Satellite Flight 2 and Flight 4 written by F. Rich and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Topside Ionospheric Plasma Monitor (SSIE) has been successfully flown on the Block 5D DMSP satellites on Flight 2 and Flight 4. This report describes the value and the limitations of these data based on an analysis of in-flight data. The SSIE is useful for determining the relative variation of the plasma density along the orbit of the satellite on a nearly continuous basis from August 1977 to February 1980. Variations in plasma density due to daily and seasonal changes in the ionosphere can be determined. Variations due to geomagnetic storms and substorms can also be determined. The instrument is limited during daytime operations by a large negative potential caused by the solar panels. During daylight operations, thermal ions are accelerated toward the ion sensor and thermal electronics are deflected away. On F4, a series of four floating bias potentials between the instruments and the spacecraft ground was installed and has proven successful. These bias potentials will be used for SSIE instruments on Flights 5 through 7. Additional design changes for Flights 8 through 10 are discussed. A format for archived data types for Flights 5 through 7 is described.

Download or read book Thermal Structure of the Topside Ionosphere Observed by INJUN 5 During an Intense Magnetic Storm written by W. J. Burke and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electron densities and temperatures as well as omnidirectional fluxes of hyperthermal positive ions (E > 28 eV) were measured by means of spherical Langmuir probes aboard INJUN 5 at altitudes > 2000 km during a major geomagnetic storm. The electron density in the mid-latitude trough decreased and the temperatures increased during the early phases of the storm. As the storm progressed the trough's position moves equatorward with plasma depletions being observed to an invariant latitude of 40 deg during the early recovery phase. The latitude of the transition between heavy and light ion dominance also moved equatorward, but recovered at a rate slower than that of the electron trough's position. Hyperthermal ions detected in the vicinity of the trough were ring current particles reaching to the satellite's altitude. The minimum thermal electron densities in the trough were found to be within 1 deg of latitude of the maximum ring current flux. Maximum electron temperatures were measured several degrees equatorward of this position. INJUN 5 electron temperatures are compared with those measured by Alouette 2 over the reported positions of SAR arcs. The observations are also used to further evaluate a method developed for calculating the position of the ring current using ground magnetic fluctuations.

Download or read book Papa Topside written by Helen A Siiteri and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneer in the field of deep-sea diving, George F. Bond helped develop the theory of saturation diving and the techniques and dive tables used by divers around the world. In this edited journal Bond offers a lively account of his work with the U.S. Navy’s first manned undersea habitats, the Sealab experiments of the 1960s. Dubbed “Papa Topside” by the media that followed his work with Navy aquanauts, Bond gives a colorful eyewitness account of what today are considered benchmarks in the history of diving. This is a candid, personal record of Sealabs I, II, and III, and the FISSH experiment, the finale of Bond’s career. The picture that emerges is one of a brilliant, larger-than-life figure who, though often difficult to get along with, earned the respect and affection of his peers. The book draws on the editor’s interviews with Bond’s fellow researchers and divers, editor Helen Siiteri as well as Bond’s daily logs and correspondence. Always frank and to the point, he describes his frustrations with the Navy brass, his friendly competition with Jacques Cousteau, and his spirited relationship with aquanaut/astronaut Scott Carpenter. As the only full-length book written about U.S. aquanauts and their undersea exploits, it is an important historical document. It is also an entertaining read.
Download or read book Large Amplitude Irregularities at Low Latitudes in the Topside Ionosphere written by W. J. Burke and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observations from the high resolution spherical electrostatic analyzer experiment aboard ISIS I have been used to study large amplitude irregularities at low latitudes in the topside ionosphere. The irregularities appeared as plasma depletions near the magnetic equator and were observed up to satellite apogee (3500 km). The altitude-local time distribution of the depletions was such that those at altitudes greater than 2000 km were found only in the post-midnight sector. This result agrees with the predictions of a simple MHD model for plasma bubbles drifting under the influence of gravity-buoyancy forces. (Author).

Book excerpt: New York City has been decimated by war and plague, and most of civilization has migrated to underground enclaves, where life expectancy is no more than the early 20's. When Deuce turns 15, she takes on her role as a Huntress, and is paired with Fade, a teenage Hunter who lived Topside as a young boy. When she and Fade discover that the neighboring enclave has been decimated by the tunnel monsters--or Freaks--who seem to be growing more organized, the elders refuse to listen to warnings. And when Deuce and Fade are exiled from the enclave, the girl born in darkness must survive in daylight--guided by Fade's long-ago memories--in the ruins of a city whose population has dwindled to a few dangerous gangs. Ann Aguirre's thrilling young adult novel is the story of two young people in an apocalyptic world--facing dangers, and feelings, unlike any they've ever known.
