Controls Engineering

Humanity chose to suffer. The alternative was extinction. When genetic engineering nearly doomed the species, humanity made a desperate bargain: let the frontier do what nature intended. Harsh colony worlds. Brutal selection. Children dying on planets designed to test them. Two centuries later, the Mandate has kept humanity alive, but at a price no one is allowed to question. Cadet Constantine Ramsey questions it anyway. As a frontier colonist at Earth's Space Fleet Academy, Constantine keeps flinching at the hard calls, and finds himself being outperformed by the cadets who don't. Then ...

The Book was written with main purpose of helping new undergraduate students in Instrumentation and Control Engineering have a general idea what entails studying Instrumentation. The Book gives a glimpse of what actually makes up Instrumentation as an Engineering field on its own. The author introduces measurement and control in a simplified and easy to understand way, and goes a head to show how it is applied in Industrial control and automation through a practical example. Key Instrumentation parameters as well as basic control loop elements are covered.

When 25-year-old Harry Walker was killed by a bear in Yellowstone Park in 1972, the civil trial prompted by his death became a proxy for bigger questions about American wilderness management that had been boiling for a century. At immediate issue was whether the Park Service should have done more to keep bears away from humans, but what was revealed as the trial unfolded was just how fruitless our efforts to regulate nature in the parks had always been.

Survival of the fittest in space just became a lot more dangerous. Eleven colonies have gone dark across Federation space.

The core principles of structural firefighting are fire behavior, building construction, strategy, tactics, safety and training. Each core principle is examined with relevant on-the-job stories to bring lessons home. Fire departments must constantly train their firefighters and officers in these core principles if they want them to be safe and effective at structure fires. Training is the foundation of all the other core principles, and must be realistic, scenario-based, and hands-on. Never stop learning during your time as a structural firefighter. If you come to a point where you ...

Control is a book about what geneticist Adam Rutherford calls “a defining idea of the twentieth century.” Inspired by Darwin’s ideas about evolution, eugenics arose in Victorian England as a theory for improving the British population, and quickly spread to America. With disarming wit and scientific precision, Rutherford explains why eugenics still figures prominently in the twenty-first century, despite its genocidal past. And he confronts insidious recurring questions, revealing the intellectual bankruptcy of the idea, and the scientific impossibility of its realization.

Not since the atomic bomb has a technology so alarmed its inventors that they warned the world about its use. Not, that is, until the spring of 2015, when biologist Jennifer Doudna called for a worldwide moratorium on the use of the new gene-editing tool CRISPR - a revolutionary new technology that she helped create - to make heritable changes in human embryos.

You know that sick, hollow feeling when someone twists your words, erases history, or makes you feel crazy? That’s not just a "personality clash", it is a sophisticated, calculated attack on your perception of reality. For too long, we’ve treated emotional manipulation and gaslighting like an unpredictable emotional weather system we must simply endure.

How a gas plant actually works – process and control, as one machine. A natural gas processing plant turns wet, sour, raw gas into pipeline-quality sales gas and natural gas liquids – and none of it runs on its own.
