laboratory in the physical sciences and beyond. George King, University of Manchester For many years, Building Scientific Apparatus has been the first book I reach for to remind myself of an experimental technique, or to start learning a new one. And it has been one of the first references I’ve recommended to new students. With valuable additions (e.g. tolerances table for machining, formula for aspheric lenses, expanded information on detector signal-to-noise ratios, solid-state…

between reasonable consumer voltages and higher DC transmission voltages could only be realized by means of rotating DC machines. In an AC system, voltage conversion is simple. An AC transformer allows high power levels and high insulation levels within one unit, and has low losses. It is a relatively simple device, which requires little maintenance. Further, a three-phase synchronous generator is superior to a DC generator in every respect. For these reasons, AC technology was…

graphic artists with rich experience in the field, following industry standards for creating interactive 3D environments. It features artistic works and modifications from many community members unified under one art direction. The game has been redesigned with new visual qualities, and is offered as one convenient, complete package to reach a user base beyond the modding community. This mod has been created with a thought of bringing the beautiful and immersive game of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.…

2012 2 WHITE PAPER | Competitive Threats In a year of financial crisis, no one is worried about the money…but they certainly have issues on their minds. Introduction Over the past 32 years, Fuld & Company has handled thousands of research assignments from around the globe, most related to competitive threats of one kind or another – new market entrants, price wars, a rival’s change of strategic direction, among many others. After all, we are a competitive intelligence firm.…

forces in the corona wire, directed away from the ground electrode, and state that there are no electrostatic forces on the ground electrode. We disagree with their results since, according to our study, the force on the corona wire has the opposite direction (is directed towards the ground electrode), and the main electrostatic force is precisely on the ground electrode. In the ensuing discussion we are going to clarify these concepts and we are going to apply the known theory of EHD…

ship’s speed - is based on routing experience with the ship considered or similar ships. When routing a ship for the first time a routing officer needs reliable speed loss graphs, to read the ship’s speed as a function of wave height and mean wave direction. Developments in the last decade made it possible to calculate with sufficient accuracy the speed in still water and the natural speed reduction due to added resistance caused by wind and waves. At this theoretical speed dangerous…

understanding of the role task-based instruction (TBI) plays in the context of second language learning and teaching seemed to be a complementary one. This paper intends to investigate on the different orientations, definitions and constructs that have helped frame the task-based instruction (TBI) in the SLA context. The paper will develop in the direction of defining what task means in SLA, the authors mostly involved with the theme, different perceptions of the task-based instruction…

The eyes are one of the most important features of anime style characters; they are the most expressive parts of the face, and are part of what makes each character different and recognizable. Thus, it is very important to be able to draw them correctly. In this section of the general face tutorial, I will show you how to draw a variety of anime style eyes. A lot of other sites only show you how to draw large female eyes, without really going over the large variety of other styles. In…

services, compared from one period of time to another. Um aumento da capacidade de uma economia para a produção de produtos e serviços, em comparação a partir de um certo período de tempo para outro. Economic growth can be measured in nominal terms, which include inflation, or in real terms, which are adjusted for inflation. O crescimento econômico pode ser medido em termos nominais, o que inclui a inflação, ou, em termos reais, que são ajustados pela inflação. For comparing one…
