This book contains two parts. In each part, the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials to strengthen existing, structurally deficient steel girder bridge is summarized. Two bridges were strengthened using these materials in an effort to improve the live load carrying capacity of the bridges. In one case (Part I), a bridge was strengthened using CFRP bars that were post-tensioned in the positive moment region. In the other case...

This carefully edited volume aims at providing readers with the most recent progress on intelligent autonomous systems, with its particular emphasis on intelligent autonomous ground, aerial and underwater vehicles as well as service robots for home and healthcare under the context of the aforementioned convergence. “Frontiers of Intelligent Autonomous Systems” includes thoroughly revised and extended papers selected from the 12th International...

New York Times Best-Selling Author – Nominated for the 2019 Hugo Award for Best Series – Winner of the 2016 Locus Award – Nominated for the Hugo, Nebula and Arthur C. Clarke AwardsWhen Captain Kel Cheris of the hexarchate is disgraced for her unconventional tactics, Kel Command gives her a chance to redeem herself, by retaking the Fortress of Scattered Needles from the heretics. Cheris’s career isn’t the only thing at stake: if the fortress fa...

When the hexarchate's gifted young captain Kel Cheris summoned the ghost of the long-dead General Shuos Jedao to help her put down a rebellion, she didn't reckon on his breaking free of centuries of imprisonment - and possessing her. Even worse, the enemy Hafn are invading, and Jedao takes over General Kel Khiruev's fleet, which was tasked with stopping them. Only one of Khiruev's subordinates, Lieutenant Colonel Kel Brezan, seems to be able t...

There is no such thing as conservation of shadows. When light destroys shadows, darkness does not gain in density elsewhere. When shadows steal over earth and across the sky, darkness is not diluted. This title features a selection of short stories.

Intelligent autonomous systems are emerged as a key enabler for the creation of a new paradigm of services to humankind, as seen by the recent advancement of autonomous cars licensed for driving in our streets, of unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles carrying out hazardous tasks on-site, and of space robots engaged in scientific as well as operational missions, to list only a few. This book aims at serving the researchers and practitioners ...

This book describes a comparative study of the primary science learning objectives (from the cognitive domain) in the curriculum of six high-achieving East Asian states - mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Singapore. Specifically, the authors use one of the most widely accepted and useful tools in curriculum research - revised Bloom's Taxonomy. This is the first time that such findings from all six states have been published i...

Als offizielle Besitzerin von Clare kehrt Palia nach dem Ende der Sommerferien in die Militärakademie zurück und begegnet dort Keith-Chel wieder. Sie ist überrascht, wie sehr er sich inzwischen verändert hat. Viel Zeit, sich darüber zu wundern, bleibt ihr allerdings nicht, denn eine unbekannte Person versucht, in die Schule einzudringen. Doch keiner weiß, wer diese verrückte Frau ist, die zum Spaß kurzerhand Piren als Geisel nimmt ...!

Seit Fräulein Sorbet den Checkpoint von Ryun zerstört hat, befindet sich die Militärakademie in heller Aufruhr: Es droht ein Gegenangriff! Unterdessen erwacht Sasenia aus ihrem Tiefschlaf, denn wie durch ein Wunder hat sie überlebt! Und damit nicht genug, kann sie auf einmal Gefühle empfinden - eine für sie völlig neue Erfahrung! Nicht ahnend, dass ihre Schwester noch lebt, verrichtet Palia zusammen mit Keith-Chel Feldarbeit, doch die Krieger ...

To win an impossible war Captain Kel Cheris must awaken an ancient weapon and a despised traitor general.

A practical, enlightening overview and explanation of self-assembly and nanotechnology Self-assembly is an important method used in nanotechnology to construct objects from the nanoscale to microscale. A fabrication process in which nanostructures form naturally has the potential to be much cheaper than building the nanostructures manually. To encourage and facilitate exploration of these processes, Self-Assembly and Nanotechnology: A Force B...
