Getriebekonzepte für Fahrzeuge: Übertragungskonzepte für Fahrzeugantriebe – heute und zukünftig (erfolgreich studieren)
by Werner KlementAuf Grundlage von Konzeptfahrzeugen werden die spezifischen Anforderungen an Getriebe je nach Antriebskonzept erarbeitet und die technischen Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt. Dabei werden zunächst grundlegende Aspekte wie der Leistungsfluss abgeleitet und anhand praktischer Beispiele verdeutlicht. Es werden Lösungen sowohl für Verbrennungsmotoren in PKW als auch für LKW beschrieben. Im Bereich der Ackerschlepper spielen stufenlose Getriebekonzepte eine bedeutende Rolle. Bei alternativen Fahrzeugantrieben werden die Möglichkeiten von Hybridlösungen sowie die Notwendigkeit einer geeigneten Übersetzung für elektrische Antriebe behandelt. Der Fokus liegt dabei stets auf der Fahrzeuganwendung und den daraus resultierenden Anforderungen an die Übertragungskomponenten bei gegebener Energiequelle. Getriebe sind keine eigenständigen Produkte, sondern fungieren als „Übersetzer“, die passgenau die Anforderungen des jeweiligen Fahrzeugs erfüllen müssen. Oft ergibt sich daraus eine ganzheitliche Lösung, die in Bezug auf Performance und Wirkungsgrad Standardanwendungen überlegen ist. Zahlreiche Beispiele verdeutlichen diese Symbiose und die damit einhergehende Verbesserung der Gesamtsysteme.

Getting Laid
by Barb WebbSustainable living boasts no boundaries. You don’t need massive amounts of acreage or even a fenced-in backyard. We may not be 100 percent sustainable in our lifestyle, but we can become better in-tune with our environment and conscientious of our actions. Like all aspects of life, it’s about balance, finding ways to live a greener, cleaner life within the parameters of your current lifestyle. Top blogger for country living, Rural Mom, shows us the (actually very easy) way to live a sustainable lifestyle without making ourselves crazy in the process. Why does even Jennifer Aniston raise chickens in the Hollywood Hills? Easy answer, it is extremely cool to raise you own hens. Eat the organic eggs and lie back on feather beds from your own brood. And what about you? Author Barb Webb believes there's a farm girl in all of us and she helps you find yours! What initially drew you to the idea of raising chickens, organic gardening and incorporating more sustainable living practices into your lifestyle? Are you interested in saving money, eating a more healthy diet, being on trend, going more "green,” or saving the planet one plant at a time? Whatever the reason, the good new is all of the above motivators are real, tangible end-results of sustainable living. SUSTAINABLE LIVING IS. . . a) reducing your carbon footprint b) eating organic and "living off the land” c) living in harmony with the earth d) using resources efficiently and investing in renewable resources e) creating a better future for the next generation f) protecting and nurturing our natural resources g) eliminating waste and recycling h) actively pursuing a balanced and simplistic lifestyle i) spending money and resources in a frugal way j) our economy, social structure and natural environment working in agreement for the betterment of the world Sustainable living has many definitions and interpretations that have developed over time. In its basic definition, the Merriam Webster Dictionary defines sustainable as "able to be used without being completely used up or destroyed,” and living as "full of life or vigor. ” In a nutshell - as sustainable living agents, we are ultimately defenders, maintainers and supporter of life! Our mission is of the utmost importance to ourselves, our environment and our future generations. Our mission is also easy. In fact, it takes less than five minutes to incorporate one sustainable living practice into your life right now but the effect of your action may have an ever-lasting positive impact for the world.

Getting Started in Quantum Optics (Undergraduate Texts in Physics)
by Ray LaPierreThis book, based on classroom-tested lecture notes, provides a self-contained one semester undergraduate course on quantum optics, accessible to students (and other readers) who have completed an introductory quantum mechanics course and are familiar with Dirac notation and the concept of entanglement. The book covers canonical quantization, the harmonic oscillator, vacuum fluctuations, Fock states, the single photon state, quantum optical treatment of the beam splitter and the interferometer, multimode quantized light, and coherent and incoherent states. Metrology is a particular area of emphasis, with the book culminating in a treatment of squeezed light and its use in the laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory (LIGO). The Heisenberg limit is described, along with NOON states and their application in super-sensitivity, super-resolution and quantum lithography. Applications of entanglement and coincidence measurements are described including ghost imaging, quantum illumination, absolute photodetector calibration, and interaction-free measurement. With quantum optics playing a central role in the so-called “second quantum revolution,” this book, equipped with plenty of exercises and worked examples, will leave students well prepared to enter graduate study or industry.

Getting Started with 3D Carving: Five Step-by-Step Projects to Launch You on Your Maker Journey
by Zach Kaplan3D printing has been the hot topic in the maker world for years now, but there's another type of desktop manufacturing that's become the go-to choice for anyone who needs durable results fast. Instead of slowly depositing layers of plastic, a 3D carver starts with a solid block of material and carves it away using a rotating metal bit. It's faster than 3D printing, offers a wider choice of materials, and creates durable, permanent parts that look great. This book covers the basics of designing and making things with a 3D carver, and gives you several projects you can build yourself including a guitar, clock, earrings, and even a skateboard.
