Made Of Time - Theophanis Kleanthous - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

How do you measure time in and around yourself? Or, is time as invisible and artificial as other sensations we assimilate? How much of the present are we prepared to abandon? Time and thought cannot be measured in the present, yet we have made them two of the pillars of our existence. Why? Made Of Time Tell me why is time and why is space And why we swim them bound by grace Rescued on the ladders of our languages While mathematics grins its soundless face Flirting with our senses as though our lover While all the time attentive of some other Weighing burdens in the cities of our thinking While we dream excursions or escaping Tell me of the forces keeping us on grounds The gravities of lights and air bound sounds All thriving in the mysteries of galaxies Spinning, asking if their destinies are found Tell me why we think with patterns made of time So I can know beyond this universe’s mime Made Of Time is the new collection of inspirational poetry from Theophanis Kleanthous, author of Drying Naked (ISBN: 9781785891366).

Pedestrian Traffic - John Schoon - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This book looks at the deficiencies, biases and potential improvement to pedestrians’ safety and convenience. It examines more closely person crossing needs, tasks and abilities, including those for disabled people. The inconsistencies and biases of our Highway Code, lessons and shortcomings of reporting and accident investigation, as well as approaches to speed and alcohol problems and societal attitudes evidenced by court rulings are all the covered. Vehicle-related technology examined includes the ‘black box’ in motor vehicles, available automated pedestrians detection and avoidance, the potential for so-called ‘driverless’ cars, and ‘forgiving’ vehicle design. In addition, the chapters on improvements focus on potentially significant numerical reductions in pedestrian casualties – to get an idea of what could reasonably be achievable. The book aims to inform readers having minimal technical background while providing references for people more numerically adept. Its intent is to stimulate thought and discussion among planners, engineers, elected officials and, most of all, among people who petition their local councillors, MPs and others who can enact legislation to reduce the casualties among pedestrians.

Kick-Start - Lorna Roth - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

When strangers, motorbikes and horses share a path – anything can happen. Four men meet to challenge their prowess on motorbikes. Four women meet to enjoy their horses and ribald camaraderie. All are grounded by their horsepower – the touch, the smell, the speed of it. Confident men, strong women. When their paths collide, a chain of friendship and friction is set in motion. Highly independent people, several are single, fifty-something and searching for that illusive factor… ‘chemistry’. For an ex-forces man, the strait-jacket of his own social prejudice is painful; for Judith, Luc and Lizzie, the internet provides succour but not always the dream person they envisage. The highs, the scares, the embarrassing lows, all told with pithy candour. Sometimes the only reaction can be laughter but is Judith’s intrinsic fear of meeting a total stranger justified and can Luc’s injured machismo survive the limitations of his lame leg? Can a human runner outwit a pack of bloodhounds? Hope – of companionship or passion. It gets picked up, trodden on, dusted off, then slung in the hedge again. It can be a dangerous ally or a fickle friend. Will any of them brave a kick-start?

The Next Station Stop - Peter Caton - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Join Peter Caton on his 10,000 mile tour of Britain, discovering what it’s like to travel on our modern railways and contemplating train journeys made over the last fifty years.Inspired by finding a childhood notebook, Peter revisits the locations of family holidays, looking at how the journeys and places have changed, and wondering why his parents chose such unlikely destinations. His travels take him to some of the most beautiful and remote parts of the country and on trains so eccentric that sometimes he wonders if Thomas the Tank Engine is round the corner. Sampling a selection of Inter City routes, he questions whether the pursuit of speed and efficiency has taken away some of the enjoyment of travelling by train, but on sleepers to Cornwall and Scotland finds the romance of rail travel is still alive. He ends with a journey to Italy, with a diversion up a snowy mountain, comparing European train travel with British railways.We read of Peter’s frustrations with missed connections, inflexible computers, annoying passengers and of an encounter with a machine gun-carrying policeman. He writes of his experiences with ‘health and safety’ and ridiculous announcements, and how these combine to give the book its title.Illustrated with 60 colour photographs covering the steam, diesel and electric eras of the last 50 years, The Next Station Stop will appeal to anyone who travels on Britain’s trains.

Tsushima: Japan's Trafalgar - Phil Thorne - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Battle of Tsushima, the epic battle between the Japanese and Russian navies on May 27-28 1905, is examined in far greater detail than ever before. Making extensive use of official records, personal accounts and a wealth of untouched information on the Russian Navy’s activities, this battle, little known about by a general readership, is brought vividly to life. Also the immense coaling operation, with the names of all the colliers, is described in very informative and sometimes amusing detail. The later stages of the battle, its details often described as lost in the ‘fog of battle’, are clearly portrayed, as is the chaotic, high-speed night action when numerous Japanese destroyer and torpedo-boat flotillas terrorised the Russian seamen. Exhaustive examination of Japanese flotilla records has made it possible to reproduce an exciting and very informative account, placing the reader on board the attacking vessels, suffering collisions and gunfire as they career in and around the Russian battle line, while the human side of both participants brings into sharp focus the horrors of war. Tsushima was not only the culmination and climax of the pre-Dreadnought era; it was the most decisive naval battle ever fought. Other battles are more well known, but they did not achieve such a result, neither in their decisiveness nor in bringing the war in which they were fought to a conclusion.

Network Modelling of Engineering Systems - Janos Korn - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The book is an integrated, unified approach to modelling engineering systems including control system and thermal effects for the computation of thermal transients and will appeal to all readers interested in a novel approach to the fundamentals of engineering systems. The classification of variables into through (force, current…) and across (speed, voltage…) leads to the construction of multidisciplinary networks which act as the unifying agent for modelling engineering systems from mechanical, electrical, fluids and thermodynamics disciplines. Network models admit non-linear functions such as relations involving temperature and entropy flow. A general treatment of energy conversion is given which models dissipation and heat transfer as external to internal and internal to internal energy converter. It then becomes possible to compute the increase of entropy arising from dissipation and temperature transients illustrating the operation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The performance of signal converting devices are described. Differential equations of change of state are derived from network models including those of control systems using topology which enable computations of steady state and dynamic conditions of multidisciplinary, engineering systems. Stability of systems is considered followed by the introduction of an aspect of systems design for countering environmental disturbances, for example. The notion of ‘one-dimensional variable’ is introduced leading to ‘field representation’ of engineering systems. A general theory of ‘engineering systems components’ is developed which through simplifications, describes ‘environments’ and ‘amplifiers’. Aspects of ‘analytical mechanics’ of Lagrange are used for the development of differential equations of change of state which describe, for example, the performance of capacitances or inductances in motion.The method presented in the book shows the points at which ‘conventional science’ of physics enters ‘systems science’ i.e. at the stage of network elements. It shows an integrated representation of multidisciplinary control systems and through the notion of ‘network models’ brings these systems closer to the ‘physics of situations’. This and many worked examples facilitate understanding of the subject matter. Teaching of the topics presented in the book was carried out for a number of years and many examination papers and examples are available. The method encourages application of computers for analysis and design.
