Temporary Works Principles of Design and Construction (2024)


Free Download Murray Grant, Peter Pallett, "Temporary Works: Principles of Design and Construction"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0727741772 | PDF | pages: 379 | 52.4 mb
Temporary works have long been the poor relation of the construction process. Only when spectacular accidents have occurred, resulting in injuries and deaths, have they been given wide attention by the industry and the popular press. Yet there is little in the construction field that can be building without their use. Indeed, they form the interface between design and construction. Fully up-to-date with acts, codes (including Eurocodes), CDM regulations and forms of contract, Temporary Works presents a valuable reference to the method and theory, providing ideas and solutions for all aspects of temporary works.

Soft Computing Principles and Integration for Real-Time Service-Oriented Computing


Free Download Soft Computing Principles and Integration for Real-Time Service-Oriented Computing
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032551887 | 263 Pages | PDF (True) | 18 MB
In recent years, soft computing techniques have emerged as a successful tool to understand and analyze the collective behavior of service- oriented computing software. Algorithms and mechanisms of self- organization of complex natural systems have been used to solve problems, particularly in complex systems, which are adaptive, ever- evolving, and distributed in nature across the globe. What fits more perfectly into this scenario other than the rapidly developing era of Fog, IoT, and Edge computing environment? Service- oriented computing can be enhanced with soft computing techniques embedded inside the Cloud, Fog, and IoT systems.

Power Electronics Principles and Applications


Free Download J. Michael Jacob, "Power Electronics: Principles and Applications"
English | 2001 | pages: 512 | ISBN: 0766823326 | PDF | 5,1 mb
Power Electronics; Principles and Applications guides the reader through the circuit analysis techniques in the design, analysis and fabrication of power electronics for consumer, and commercial applications as well as those unique to industrial manufacturing. Included are composite high-voltage amplifiers, power op amps, linear audio power ICs, MOSFETs used in class AB amplifiers and in power switches, switching power supplies, thyristors and thyristor control circuits. Ideal for use in ABET-accredited engineering technology programs, the book adds to the classical industrial power control a rare mix of electronics designed to deliver power to consumer and commercial loads such as audio systems, and the management of power for the explosion of hand-held devices. How a power circuit is built is as critical as the parts that are selected. Both protoboard and printed circuit board layout principles are explained with detailed, step-by-step illustrations, photographs and lots of lab practice. Microprocessors are pervasive; in garage door openers, microwave oven, refrigerators, faxes, printers, copiers, and many toys. Power electronics are needed to follow their commands, delivering hundreds of milliamps to tens of amps to the motors, valves, heaters and lights that we use. A variety of low and high side switches, switch drivers and H bridges are illustrated. Buck, boost, flyback and line-powered switching power supplies are explained, design techniques and special purpose IC explored in detail, and practical laboratory exercises provided. Additional chapters feature circuit design simulations and lab exercises that offer practice in the design, analysis, fabrication and testing of classical industrial thyristor-based conversion and motor drive circuits.

The Art of Community Seven Principles for Belonging


Free Download The Art of Community: Seven Principles for Belonging by Charles Vogl, Tom Dheere, Berrett-Koehler ✅Publishers
English | 2016 | ISBN: B01JDZ9XXC | Format: MP3 / 3 hours and 50 minutes | 105 Mb
This book is a guide for leaders seeking to build a community, to strengthen the community they already have, or who may not think of themselves as community leaders but who are envisioning a group they hope to create. These communities can be formal, with official memberships and administrations, or informal, tied by shared values and commitments. Some people think communities happen by accident, or have to emerge organically, but Charles Vogl emphasizes that there are solid, time-honored principles for consciously building them.
Drawing on 3,000 years of tradition, Vogl lays out seven enduring principles that every community of every kind must master to be effective and supportive. He describes each principle’s purpose and provides extensive hands-on tools for implementing them. He also helps leaders ensure that their communities remain healthy and life-affirming and not degenerate into rigid cults.
