Free Download Morrice McCrae, "Simpson: The Turbulent Life of a Medical Pioneer"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1780270259 | EPUB | pages: 320 | 0.4 mb
This is the story of one of the great events in the history of medicine. In 1847, challenging the firmly held convictions of the medical profession of the time, James Young Simpson demonstrated for the first time that a woman could be safely relieved of the pains of difficult and traumatic labor by the administration of a general anesthetic. He later added to his fame when he introduced a new and better anesthetic, chloroform, which soon became the most popular general anesthetic for use in general surgery as well as midwifery. Its use was endorsed by Queen Victoria when she asked for it to be administered during the birth of Prince Leopold in 1853. The book also gives a history of a time of rapid change in Scottish society that allowed the seventh son of a village baker in a rural apart of Scotland to go to university and then become a successful physician, a medical professor at one of the leading university medical schools in the world and Physician to the Queen, all before he had reached the age of forty.

Free Download Petra Ahrens, "European Parliament’s Political Groups in Turbulent Times "
English | ISBN: 303094011X | 2022 | 311 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This open access book provides the first ever authoritative collection of scholarly insights, based upon original research, into the political groups of the EP tackling the fundamental changes since the Lisbon Treaty and the upsurge of radical right parties. It analyses political groups and their importance from multiple perspectives critically assessing their role and significance in EU politics. Each chapter is authored by leading scholars in the field, working on key topics in relation to political groups: political group formation and function, their role in parliamentary and EU policy-making, the way that Eurosceptic MEPs influence (or not) the Parliament, and the nature and form of interactions with external actors. In doing so, each chapter opens hitherto unexplored ‘black boxes’ in the political work of the EP, such as the internal practices of, and power relations within the political groups, and informal arenas of intra-group decision-making.

English | ISBN: 0198299575 | 2021 | 256 pages | EPUB, PDF | 587 KB + 13 MB
In recent years, human rights have come under fire, with the rise of political illiberalism and the coming to power of populist authoritarian leaders in many parts of the world who contest and dismiss the idea of human rights. More surprisingly, scholars and public intellectuals, from both the progressive and the conservative side of the political spectrum, have also been deeply critical, dismissing human rights as flawed, inadequate, hegemonic, or overreaching.

Free Download Living in Medieval England: The Turbulent Year of 1326 (Audiobook)
English | September 26, 2023 | ASIN: B0CJRYFH81 | M4B@128 kbps | 8h 3m | 465 MB
Author: Kathryn Warner | Narrator: Lucy Rayner
Both important and unique, this book highlights how life was for the everyday person just before the Black Plague wiped out most of Europe.
1326 was one of the most dramatic years in English history. The queen of England, Isabella of France, invaded the country with an army of mercenaries to destroy her husband’s powerful and detested lover, Hugh Despenser the Younger, and brought down her husband King Edward II in the process.

Free Download Volker John, "Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Incompressible Flows: Analytical and Numerical Results for a Class of LES Models"
English | 2003 | ISBN: 3540406433 | DJVU | pages: 279 | 3.1 mb
Large eddy simulation (LES) seeks to simulate the large structures of a turbulent flow. This is the first monograph which considers LES from a mathematical point of view. It concentrates on LES models for which mathematical and numerical analysis is already available and on related LES models. Most of the available analysis is given in detail, the implementation of the LES models into a finite element code is described, the efficient solution of the discrete systems is discussed and numerical studies with the considered LES models are presented.

Free Download Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Turbulent Structure and Particles-Turbulence Interaction
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031472578 | 349 Pages | PDF (True) | 47 MB
This book presents the proceedings of the ‘IUTAM Symposium on Turbulent Structure and Particles’ held in 2023. It provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research and developments in the field of turbulent dispersed multiphase flows. The book features contributions from experts in academia and industry, covering a range of topics including droplet and pollutant dispersion, sand/dust storms, sediment transport in water or air flows, fluidized beds, bubbly flows and more. The content is a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, and students who are interested in understanding the complex behavior of multiphase flows in different natural and industrial environments.

Free Download Noise Sources in Turbulent Shear Flows: Fundamentals and Applications by Roberto Camussi
English | PDF | 2013 | 453 Pages | ISBN : 3709114578 | 9.5 MB
The articles in this volume present the state-of-the-art in noise prediction, modeling and measurement. The articles are partially based on class notes provided during the course `Noise sources in turbulent shear flows’, given at CISM on April 2011. The first part contains general concepts of aero acoustics, including vortex sound theory and acoustic analogies, in the second part particular emphasis is put into arguments of interest for engineers and relevant for aircraft design: jet noise, airfoil broadband noise, boundary layer noise (including interior noise and its control) and the concept of noise sources, their theoretical modeling and identification in turbulent lows. All these arguments are treated extensively with the inclusion of many practical examples and references to engineering applications.

Free Download Public Education in Turbulent Times: Innovative Strategies for Leadership and Learning
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031432363 | 325 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2.5 MB
Public Education in Turbulent Times communicates a bold vision for the future of education, addressing the evolving purpose of American public education and the structural innovations schools are using to meet the needs of a rapidly transforming world. Highlighting key challenges that emerged during the immense economic and social disruptions of recent years, the book leverages case studies of four unique school districts where school communities overcame concerns high in the public consciousness – trauma, danger, economic inequality, and racial injustice. These obstacles have hampered efforts to reclaim lost learning opportunities that could define the educational experiences of a generation of students. If educators revert to business as usual, they risk dismissing essential lessons from resilient schools that thrived in the chaos of a global pandemic and its fallout. This book provides rich insights to refocus readers’ attention on achieving a more equitable and safe education system for the future.
