Free Download Micah L. Thorp, "Handbook of Common Problems in Clinical Nephrology "
English | ISBN: 1608768287 | 2010 | 162 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This handbook has been written to assist clinicians in assessing and treating problems that arise in the course of patient care. The recommendations are general guidelines which may or may not apply to a particular patient. Individualisation of drugs, dosages, assessments, tests and treatment schedules should be considered when treating specific patients. The reader is advised to carefully consult instruction and information included in the package insert of any prescribed medication and to consult the references provided at the end of each chapter.

Common Rail System for GDI Engines Modelling, Identification, and Control


Free Download Common Rail System for GDI Engines: Modelling, Identification, and Control By Giovanni Fiengo, Alessandro di Gaeta, Angelo Palladino, Veniero Giglio (auth.)
2013 | 81 Pages | ISBN: 1447144678 | PDF | 6 MB
Progressive reductions in vehicle emission requirements have forced the automotive industry to invest in research and development of alternative control strategies. Continual control action exerted by a dedicated electronic control unit ensures that best performance in terms of pollutant emissions and power density is married with driveability and diagnostics. Gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine technology is a way to attain these goals. This brief describes the functioning of a GDI engine equipped with a common rail (CR) system, and the devices necessary to run test-bench experiments in detail. The text should prove instructive to researchers in engine control and students are recommended to this brief as their first approach to this technology. Later chapters of the brief relate an innovative strategy designed to assist with the engine management system; injection pressure regulation for fuel pressure stabilization in the CR fuel line is proposed and validated by experiment. The resulting control scheme is composed of a feedback integral action and a static model-based feed-forward action, the gains of which are scheduled as a function of fundamental plant parameters. The tuning of closed-loop performance is supported by an analysis of the phase-margin and the sensitivity function. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the control algorithm in regulating the mean-value rail pressure independently from engine working conditions (engine speed and time of injection) with limited design effort.

Teaching History for the Common Good


Free Download Linda S. Levstik, "Teaching History for the Common Good"
English | 2004 | pages: 301 | ISBN: 0805839313 | PDF | 2,6 mb
In Teaching History for the Common Good, Barton and Levstik present a clear overview of competing ideas among educators, historians, politicians, and the public about the nature and purpose of teaching history, and they evaluate these debates in light of current research on students’ historical thinking. In many cases, disagreements about what should be taught to the nation’s children and how it should be presented reflect fundamental differences that will not easily be resolved. A central premise of this book, though, is that systematic theory and research can play an important role in such debates by providing evidence of how students think, how their ideas interact with the information they encounter both in school and out, and how these ideas differ across contexts. Such evidence is needed as an alternative to the untested assumptions that plague so many discussions of history education.

Critical Urban Theory, Common Property, and the Political Desire and Drive in the City


Free Download Dan Webb, "Critical Urban Theory, Common Property, and "the Political": Desire and Drive in the City"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367371782 | EPUB | pages: 200 | 0.6 mb
Dan Webb explores an undervalued topic in the formal discipline of Political Theory (and political science, more broadly): the urban as a level of political analysis and political struggles in urban space. Because the city and urban space is so prominent in other critical disciplines, most notably, geography and sociology, a driving question of the book is: what kind of distinct contribution can political theory make to the already existing critical urban literature? The answer is to be found in what Webb calls the "properly political" approach to understanding political conflict as developed in the work of thinkers like Chantal Mouffe, Jodi Dean, and Slavoj Žižek. This "properly political" analysis is contrasted with and a curative to the predominant "ethical" or "post-political" understanding of the urban found in so much of the geographical and sociological critical urban theory literature. In order to illustrate this primary theoretical argument of the book, Webb suggests that "common property" is the most useful category for conceiving the city as a site of the "properly political." When the city and urban space are framed within this theoretical framework, critical urbanists are provided a powerful tool for understanding urban political struggles, in particular, anti-gentrification movements in the inner city.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of common medical conditions that present in women’s primary care clinics. Medical conditions often present differently in women than they do in men and as a result, primary care providers should be familiar with how to identify and treat these conditions. This book provides a collection of common medical conditions and aims to educate the reader on how to approach and manage such conditions. Chapters cover non-infection conditions, infectious conditions, and health maintenance in women.

Technology and the Common Good The Unity and Division of a Democratic Society


Free Download Allen Batteau, "Technology and the Common Good: The Unity and Division of a Democratic Society"
English | ISBN: 180073526X | 2022 | 234 pages | PDF | 35 MB
Building on the work of Elinor Ostrom (Governing the Commons) the author examines how the different shared goods of a democratic society are shaped by technology and demonstrates how club goods, common pool resources, and public goods are supported, enhanced, and disrupted by technology. He further argues that as the common good is undermined by different interests, it should be possible to reclaim technology, if the members of the society conclude that they have something in common.
