Описание: After being in practice in the field of physical therapy, Osteopathic medicine, and teaching in Belgium, Dr. Luyckx, at the age of forty-four, moved to the United States of America. After living the American "dream" for twenty-five years, he experienced a very different way of living in the United States compared to how society is built in Western Europe. This book is meant to show an objective comparison between the American and Western European socioeconomic and institutional systems. The book points out the weaknesses in the American educational system, the differences in health care and medicine, the judicial system full of inconsistencies and unfairnesses, the rigidness of the democratic system, the never-ending topic of racism, the bad infrastructure of the country, the very conservative and puritan ideas about subjects that are generally accepted in Western Europe, and the lack of willingness to change. For all the years under the administration of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the United States was losing its grip as a superpower of the world. After the economic crash in 2008, things got even worse, and this led to the content of this book by writing down some ideas about how to improve this country. Finally, during the last three years under the Donald Trump administration, the American people are experiencing real changes for the better of their country. Despite the malevolence attempts by the Democratic Party, President Trump is gaining more and more respect not only from the American people but also from people all over the world. Many of the topics in this book have already been addressed by the Trump administration; however, as a people, we have a long way to go. In order to continue the upward spiral of success in making America great again, President Trump should be giving the opportunity to do so. Therefore, the American people should vote to reelect President Trump for another term in 2020.

Описание:
The ability to compare is fundamental to human cognition. Expressing various types of comparison is thus essential to any language. The present volume presents detailed grammatical descriptions of how comparison and gradation are expressed in ancient Indo-European languages. The detailed chapters devoted to the individual languages go far beyond standard handbook knowledge. Each chapter is structured the same way to facilitate cross-reference and (typological) comparison. The data are presented in a top-down fashion and in a format easily accessible to the linguistic community. The topics covered are similatives, equatives, comparatives, superlatives, elatives, and excessives. Each type of comparison is illustrated with glossed examples of all its attested grammatical realizations. The book is an indispensable tool for typologists, historical linguists, and students of the syntax and morphosyntax of comparison.
Описание: Energy harvesting is the procedure for deriving, capturing and storing energy from external sources. Power is a very important part of any system, and for Internet of Things and WPAN, managing power is the biggest challenge. This book aims to explore the methods and systems to generate energy and use it efficiently for IoT applications to upgrade the Industries. The book comprises of ten chapters. Chapter 1 describes the low power renewable power supply through thermo electric generators. The main aim of this chapter is to familiarize the energy harvesting among the various sources of renewable energy (Solar light, Vibration, Heat, RFID, Wind and Hybrid energy) and to provide electrical output in the range of 1 I"W to few Watts for low power devices (Wireless Networks/ IoTs). Chapter 2 describes the concept of distributed generation as a part of the smart grid that is proposed at IKG Punjab Technical University. The proposed smart micro grid includes the Distributed Generation based on renewable resources like solar PV and biogas as an individual and hybrid energy system. Chapter 3 proposed the energy harvesting types for end sensor nodes for pipeline monitoring in remote areas and addressed challenges for future advanced energy harvesting for sensor nodes. Chapter 4 described the fundamental concept, latest developments and applications addressing the related theoretical and practical aspects on wireless communication. In Chapter 5 different renewable energy harvesting technique has been discussed. Solar power optimization has been done to make more efficient harvesting techniques. Chapter 6 gives a review on energy harvesting and storage. In Chapter 7 the design and development of energy harvesting system is reviewed. Chapter 8 proposed an idea to implement a street light management system which can work on self power generation method based on piezoelectric techniques and communication module for analysing and transferring of data to the cloud or the web server for real time application. Chapter 9 proposed an architecture where in the bins XBee network is used to connect nearby control unit of local municipal authority and from the control authority, LoRa network is used to communicate to long range and also these bins are assisted with solar panel for providing the power supply to devices that are existed in the architecture. Chapter 10 presented the study to optimize the process parameters for biofuel production by transesterification of algal oil using KOH as catalyst.

Описание: Explores the health care systems of Denmark, Germany, and Sweden, and compares them with the system in the United States through 30 first-hand case reports by advanced medical students taking part in an international exchange program. This book describes how these health care systems have developed and how they differ.
Описание: The computation of complex turbulent flows by statistical modelling has already a long history. The most popular two-equation models today were introduced in the early sev- enties. However these models have been generally tested in rather academic cases. The develope- ment of computers has led to more and more acurate numerical methods. The interactions betwe n numerical and modelling techniques are generally not well mastered. Moreover, computation of real life cases, including 3D effects, complex geometries and pressure gra- dients based on two-equation models with low-Reynolds treatment at the proximity of walls are not really of common use. A large number of models has been proposed; this is perhaps the sign that none of them is really satisfactory, and then the assessment of their generality is not an easy task: it requires a lot of understanding of the physics and a lot of work for testing the large number of relevant cases in order to assess their limits of validity which is a condition for an improved confidence in engineering applications. This is probably why workshops and working groups are frequent and the ETMA consor- tium has choosen to build a state of the art in theoretical and numerical statistical turbu- lence modelling for real life computations by taking some marks with respect to previous workshops such as the Stanford meetings (1980,1981); some problems are kept or updated by new experiments, some problems are discarded, some new problems are introduced; the focus is kept on flows with 2D geometries.

Описание: The deepest crises cannot destroy the universal model of literariness. It maintains its appeal for participants in literary communication as a «contradictory» model. This thought recurs in many epochs. Literariness involves suspending the formal or logical norms of contradiction (lex contraditionis). In everyday speech, it is not permissible for «A» to simultaneously be «not-A»; in literary structures this is the norm. This is both in the ideas, and in the tensions between the artificiality and naturalness of speech, the structure and the chaos of the plot, experimentation and revitalization of tradition, objective observation and a biased vision of the world, its visibility and invisibility, expressibility and inexpressibility, and a realistic and an imaginative focus. Executions of this model are gradative.
