"Mercury Increasing: Stories of Temperature" is a charming collection that digs into the complex parts of temperature, investigating its effect on the regular world, human encounters, and the steadily developing elements of our planet. This assortment of stories, papers, and logical bits of knowledge gives a complete excursion through the range of temperatures, from singing highs to freezing lows, disentangling the narratives concealed inside this principal part of our current circumstance. The compilation starts by submerging perusers in the limits of temperature, disentangling the secrets of searing deserts, cold tundras, and in the middle between. Every story is a demonstration of the strength of life notwithstanding testing warm circumstances, offering a brief look into the step by step processes for surviving embraced by both greenery. Through distinctive symbolism and suggestive writing, the compilation portrays the mind boggling dance between living creatures and the temperature vacillations that shape their reality. Past the domains of the normal world, "Mercury Rising" dives into the human experience of temperature. From the nostalgic warmth of a late spring's day deep down chilling cold of winter, the treasury investigates the profound and mental effect of temperature on people. It digs into social points of view on intensity and cool, uncovering how various social orders have adjusted to and deciphered temperature varieties since the beginning of time. The human association with temperature is a string that winds through the compilation, interfacing different stories and making a rich embroidery of encounters. Logical experiences structure a basic piece of the collection, furnishing perusers with a more profound comprehension of the components overseeing temperature minor departure from Earth. From the complexities of environmental change to the material science of intensity move, the collection overcomes any barrier between logical talk and lay perusers, making complex ideas available and locking in. "Mercury Rising" isn't simply an assortment of secluded stories; a mosaic collects the divergent strings of temperature-related stories into a reasonable and intriguing embroidery. As perusers venture through the pages, they end up examining the interconnectedness of every living thing and the sensitive equilibrium kept up with by temperature in supporting life.

This book deals with the study of tilt-rotor omnidirectional aerial robots and their application to aerial physical interaction tasks. Omnidirectional aerial robots possess decoupled translational and rotational dynamics, which are important for stable and sustained aerial interaction.

This book highlights issues related to the organization and improvement of the efficiency of training system in technical operation of radio-electronic equipment currently used in civil aviation. The increasing intensity of air traffic around the world leads to a quantitative increase in old problems and the emergence of qualitatively new ones that can only be solved by trained people, whose training process should be carried out on a systematic basis. Modern approaches to improving the human resources potential of civil aviation, as a rule, are based only on modernizing the management mechanisms of the training system. One of the main advantages of this book is the unique integrated approach to building a system for training aviation personnel in the field of technical operation of radio-electronic equipment and air traffic control, which consists in taking into account various factors that affect the training of specialists, promising areas of development of civil aviation based on the analysis of various guidance documents and the construction of mathematical models that give a qualitative assessment of existing methods and the proposed new methodology. The book contains a large amount of visual illustrative material showing the existing structure of the system of training in the field of civil aviation.

The ground segment is the fundamental backbone of every satellite project, yet it is usually not visible to the public or the end user of a satellite service. Also the bulk of existing published space literature tends to focus on the satellite or its subsystems. This book tries to fill this gap and addresses systems engineering concepts applied to the design, development, qualification, and deployment of the ground control segment required to operate a single satellite, a constellation, or even a manned space vehicle.The domain of ground segment engineering has significantly evolved in recent years, mainly driven by major advances in the IT sector. Hardware virtualisation or the availability of on-demand cloud computing services are typical examples of new technologies that have changed fundamental architectural concepts previously standard in heritage ground segments. Furthermore, the stark increase of cyber attacks - today a major risk to almost all critical IT based infrastructure - has made a cyber threat resilient architecture to become one of the indispensable design requirements for ground segment engineers. The new mega constellations recently put into space deploying up to several hundred of flying objects have put very demanding needs on the ground segment for automated satellite operations. These topics and more are addressed in the book's chapters, along with a detailed explanation of the most relevant components of a typical ground segment architecture. The basic functional requirements, design features, and the most important ground and space segment interfaces are addressed and explained in detail, supported by a wealth of figures for easier understanding.This book is kept at an introductory level, allowing newcomers to get familiar with this fairly complex subject matter. It is therefore suitable for graduate students, but can equally serve as a valuable source of information for already experienced space engineers who seek to gain a deeper understanding of the ground segment infrastructure and related systems engineering processes. It can also help project managers to better interact with their systems engineers, satellite developers to define their ground segment interfaces, and satellite operators to improve their flight and ground procedures. It is very well suited for everyone intending to start a career in satellite ground segment systems engineering.

This book shows possible solutions to how a profitable energy supply can be implemented with almost no population resistance. Worldwide, more than 80 % of our energy needs are still covered by fossil fuels. Under these circumstances, can climate change still be stopped?Essential technologies for usage of wind energy with an emphasis on high-altitude wind utilization are presented. Airborne wind energy is one of the most promising technologies to enable a renewable energy turnaround in an economical way. The main problem of conventional renewable energy is the insufficient availability. To ensure a 100 % supply of renewable energy, enormous and very expensive storage capacities would have to be built up.How we can cover our entire energy needs (electricity, mobility and heat) in the future without fossil fuels, without risking the competitiveness of our economy, is shown in this book.

This is a detailed study of the development of the Russian small arms industry. Humiliated in the Crimean War, Russia turned to the United States for help. Using archival sources, Bradley, author of Muzhik and Muscovite: Urbanization in Late Imperial Russia (Univ. of California Pr., 1985), describes the role of famous gunsmiths like Colt, Smith, and Wesson; they provided Russia with machinery, tools, production techniques, and even workers to build an independent arms industry. Assimilation was only partially successful; an inflexible economy hindered military modernization. A 30-page bibliography and 40 pages of footnotes testify to Bradley's meticulous research and academic style. Recommended for specialists.
