Истинная брошюра обобщенно объясняет часть самых занимательных советов и предложений, публиковавшихся на протяжении почти всех лет в журнальчике "Наука и жизнь", иных периодических изданиях.

Too late to change the course of the war, the Me262 was nevertheless a remarkable and very successful aircraft. Here Baker tells the full story, from its tortuous development through to its operational days, including details of its specs, and insight into the men who designed and flew the Me262. An exhaustive study.

In a series of chronological chapters, Submarines describes key developments in diving ability, underwater endurance, and weapons capabilities in specific periods, while highlighting strategic and operational innovations; the role of technological research; famous submarine events, battles, and commanders; and the impact of submarine services on naval society. The book also includes an illustrated reference section covering every submarine class worldwide since 1900. This coverage plus additional reference features make Submarines an essential introduction to a weapons system that has long held the public's imagination.

The structural use of brick masonry has to some extent been hampered by its long history as a craft based material and some years ago its disappearance as a structural material was being predicted. The fact that this has not happened is a result of the inherent advantages of brickwork and the design of brick masonry structures has shown steady development, based on the results of continuing research in many countries. Nevertheless, structural brickwork is not used as widely as it could be and one reason for this lies in the fact that design in this medium is not taught in many engineering schools alongside steel and concrete. To help to improve this situation, the authors have written this book especially for students in university and polytechnic courses in structural engineering and for young graduates preparing for professional examination in structural design.

The 99 examples in this book demonstrate what pneumatics can do by showing solutions in simplified form in a way that we hope will fire the imagination and encourage new ideas. This book is accordingly aimed at practical technical users, those responsible for rationalisation and also those who are taking their first steps in the world of pneumatics.

This book is mostly based on a series of notes for a primer course in electrical and computer engineering that I taught at the City College of New York School of Engineering. Each week, the class met for an hour of lecture and a three-hour computer laboratory session where students were divided into small groups of 12 to 15 students each. The students met in an informal learning community setting, a computer laboratory, where each student had the exclusive use of a PC. The small size of the groups permitted a great deal of individualized instruction, which was a key ingredient to cater successfully to the needs of students with heterogeneous high school backgrounds.

Vol. 64 : Jazwinski, A. H. Stochastic processes and filtering theory. - 1970. - 391 p.

This book presents a unified treatment of linear and nonlinear filtering theory for engineers, with sufficient emphasis on applications to anable the reader to use the theory.

Beyond cutting edge, Scott Mueller goes where no computer book author has gone before right past all the warranty stickers, the hidden screws, and the fear factor to produce a real owner's manual that every laptop owner should have on his desk. This book shows the upgrades users can perform, the ones that are better left to the manufacturer, and how to use add-on peripherals to make the most of a laptop. The CD contains one of a kind video showing just what's inside a portable PC. For readers who have ever wondered what goes on inside their portable PC, how to upgrade/repair the portable PC or how to live on the road with it, this is the one must-have book of the year!

The seminal book on the organization of the US Army in Vietnam is Shelby Stanton's Vietnam Order of Battle: A Complete Illustrated Reference to u.s. Army Combat and Support Forces in Vietnam 1961-1973. This extremely detailed tome examines all echelons of organization in units deployed to Vietnam during the course of a lengthy war. It provides the dates of arrival and departure, strengths, function, and assignment of every unit down to battalion level. It also lists all company-level units and order of battle of the US Army in Vietnam.

At one time, computer hardware was the key differentiator in information technology—what gave an organization it's competitive edge. Then, as hardware prices fell, software took center stage. Today, software having become a broadly shared commodity, a new differentiator has emerged—usability. Applications, including Web sites, are usable if they are practical, useful, easy to work with, and satisfying. Usability is now the factor likeliest to give an organization a distinct advantage. Institutionalization of Usability shows how to make user-centered design and development a routine practice within an enterprise. Other excellent books explain precisely how to make software usable; this book builds on that foundation, and focuses instead on how to get usability recognized and incorporated into an organization's values and culture. Based on author Eric Schaffer's extensive experience, the book provides a solid methodology for institutionalizing usability, guiding readers step-by-step with practical advice on topics like organizational change, milestones, toolsets, infrastructure, and staffing requirements needed to achieve fully mature usability engineering.

This work is intended to be of practical assistance in control engineering technology. It will help you to select and set up a suitable controller for various applications. It describes the different types of controller and the options for setting them up. The explanations and definitions are provided without using advanced mathematics, and are mainly applied to temperature-control loops.

The restoration and display of historic military vehicles is a hobby that has grown enormously in Britain and elswhere. Here, photographer Han Suermondt offers a gallery of more than 200 close-up studies of over 30 meticulously restored period trucks, motorbikes, armoured vehicles and guns - mostly British and American - for the information and pleasure of military historians, restorers, modellers and enthusiasts alike. Hightlights include an M3 series half-track, Daimler Dingo scout car, DUKW, M3A1 and M5 Stuart light tanks, M8 Greyhound armoured car and a T34/85 tank.
