During its twenty years of life as an independent company, Airspeed designed and built a dozen different aircraft from the renowned Horsa glider of WWII, to the Ambassador and Elizabethan airliners of the 1950s. Airspeed's aircraft were either outstandingly advanced in design for their time, or especially ingenious. This scarce Putnam volume details the aircraft designed and constructed by the company, including designs which never reached production.. 149 photographs, 27 3-view illustrations. Missing: cover.

Aging: Theories and Potential Therapies By Joseph, Ph.D. Panno
2004 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 0816049513 | PDF | 5 MB
There are almost as many theories about the aging process as there are researchers working in the field. This stems from the fact that scientists do not know why animals grow old and examine every aspect of an animal's physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology in attempting to answer this important question. The current trend among biologists studying the way animals grow old is to keep the theories in mind, but to focus their attention on dominant age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's or cardiovascular disease. This new volume in The New Biology set tackles the fascinating subject of aging, from natural processes to technological developments, and descibes past and present research into extending the human life span. Different theories about aging and the studies of the fruit fly and housefly, which have provided a basis of knowledge in this field, are presented in a clear and concise manner. The use of hormone therapy is explored as a possible way to reverse the effects of aging, the use of antioxidants is discussed as another area being pursued by scientists seeking to find the key to extending the human life span, and possible side effects and monetary expenses are also examined. Concluding with a collection of biographies of influential researchers in this field, a bibliography, a glossary, and an index, Aging presents the full story about the hopes, efforts, progress, and realities of this timeless topic.

Clemens Gantner, "After Charlemagne: Carolingian Italy and its Rulers"
English | ISBN: 1108840779 | 2020 | 350 pages | PDF | 3 MB
After Charlemagne's death in 814, Italy was ruled by a succession of kings and emperors, all of whom could claim some relation to the Carolingians, some via the female line of succession. This study offers new perspectives on the fascinating but neglected period of Italy in the ninth century and the impact of Carolingian culture. Bringing together some of the foremost scholars on early medieval Italy, After Charlemagne offers the first comprehensive overview of the period, and also presents new research on Italian politics, culture, society and economy, from the death of Charlemagne to the assassination of Berengar I in 924. Revealing Italy as a multifaceted peninsula, the authors address the governance and expansion of Carolingian Italy, examining relations with the other Carolingian kingdoms, as well as those with the Italian South, the Papacy and the Byzantine Empire. Exploring topics on a regional and local level as well as presenting a 'big picture' of the Italian or Lombard kingdom, this volume provides new and exciting answers to the central question: How Carolingian was 'Carolingian Italy'?

A Machine Learning Based Model of Boko Haram by V. S. Subrahmanian
English | EPUB | 2021 | 145 Pages | ISBN : 3030606139 | 7.2 MB
This is the first study of Boko Haram that brings advanced data-driven, machine learning models to both learn models capable of predicting a wide range of attacks carried out by Boko Haram, as well as develop data-driven policies to shape Boko Haram's behavior and reduce attacks by them. This book also identifies conditions that predict sexual violence, suicide bombings and attempted bombings, abduction, arson, looting, and targeting of government officials and security installations.

A Basic Introduction to Pollutant Fate and Transport : An Integrated Approach with Chemistry, Modeling, Risk Assessment, and Environmental Legislation By Frank M. Dunnivant, Elliot Anders
2006 | 485 Pages | ISBN: 0471651281 | PDF | 21 MB
A uniquely accessible text on environmental modeling designed for both students and industry personnel Pollutant fate and modeling are becoming increasingly important in both regulatory and scientific areas. However,the complexity of the software and models often act as an inhibitor to the advancement of water quality science. A Basic Introduction to Pollutant Fate and Transport fills the need for a basic instructional tool for students and environmental professionals who lack the rigorous mathematical background necessary to derive the governing fate and transport equations. Taking a refreshingly simple approach to the subject that requires only a basic knowledge of algebra and first-year college chemistry, the book presents and integrates all of the aspects of fate and transport, including chemistry, modeling, risk assessment, and relevant environmental legislation; approaching each topic first conceptually before introducing the math necessary to model it. The first half of the book is dedicated to the chemistry and physics behind the fate and transport models, while the second half teaches and reinforces the logical concepts underlying fate and transport modeling. This better prepares students for support jobs in the environmental arena surrounding chemical industry and Superfund sites. Contributing to the book's ease of use are: * An extremely user-friendly software program, Fate(r), which uses basic models to predict the fate and transport of pollutants in lakes, rivers, groundwater, and atmospheric systems * The use of "canned" models to evaluate the importance of model parameters and sensitivity analysis * A wealth of easy-to-understand examples and problems * A chapter on environmental legislation in the United States and Europe * A set of lab exercises, as well as a downloadable set of teaching aids A much-needed basic text for contemporary hydrology or environmental chemistry courses and support courses forthe environmental industry, this is a valuable desk reference for educators and industry professionals.
