Sinopsis

Tunnel Boring Tech explores the remarkable evolution of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and their profound impact on underground construction since the mid-20th century. It highlights how these advancements have not only made tunneling more efficient but also safer, allowing us to build critical infrastructure, expand urban environments, and extract resources in increasingly challenging geological conditions.

The book examines the design and engineering of modern TBMs, delving into various cutterhead types, support systems, and steering mechanisms. The book emphasizes the vital role of geological investigations and ground conditioning techniques in preparing for tunneling in diverse soil and rock formations. It also underscores the growing importance of automation, robotics, and data analytics in TBM operations, leading to improved efficiency and safety. For example, advancements in ground conditioning allow TBMs to navigate through previously impenetrable geological formations.

The book progresses from fundamental principles and historical context to the core areas of TBM design, geological considerations, and automation, culminating in a discussion of future trends like autonomous TBMs.

This book stands out by focusing on the integration of digital technologies into tunneling operations, showcasing the potential for data-driven decision-making to transform the industry. Case studies and real-world project examples illustrate the challenges and successes of modern tunneling. It offers a comprehensive overview valuable for civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, construction managers, and students eager to understand the technology shaping our subterranean world.

Python for Beginners -...

Alexa Campbell

Python is one of the most powerful computer programming languages of all time, for several reasons we’ll discuss in the first section. The syntax is simple to learn and use and, compared to other programming languages, you often don’t need to write so much code. The sheer simplicity of the language helps programmers write more and develop programs that are more complex in less time. 
This guide provides all you need to master the basics of programming with Python. I have kept it deliberately simple – it is a quick-start guide, after all. I have provided plenty of coding examples to show you how the syntax works, too, along with a guide on installing Python on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. I finish with some useful tips on helping you to code better. 
By the end of the guide, you will have a deeper understanding of the Python language, a stepping stone from which to take your learning further. 
Please note that we are using Python 3 in this guide, not Python 2, as many similar guides do. 
Are you ready to become a computer programmer? Let’s get started on this wonderful journey.

The Coming Healthcare Revolution...

Paul Kusserow, David W. Johnson

The Coming Healthcare Revolution identifies and describes five top-down macro forces and five bottom-up market forces that have sufficient strength to transform the US healthcare industry from the outside-in. The powerful macro forces are demographic determinants, funding fatigue, chronic pandemics, technological imperatives, and pro-consumer/market reforms. The equally powerful market forces are whole health, care redesign, care migration, aggregators' advantage, and empowered caregivers. Written by David Johnson and Paul Kusserow, professional healthcare advisors operating at the intersection of healthcare economics, policy, strategy, and capital formation, this book provides expert insight on how the US healthcare system is becoming cheaper, better, more balanced between prevention and treatment, easier to access, and more empowering for both frontline caregivers and consumers. 
 
 
 
In this book, listeners will learn about factors leading to rising healthcare costs; US healthcare in comparison to other high-income countries; similarities between the US automobile industry crisis in the 1980s and today's adapt-or-die situation for healthcare providers and suppliers; and how the healthcare industry is reorganizing to decentralize delivery of whole-person health in ways that will improve health outcomes and overall societal health.

Bird Keeping - Everything You...

Angie Tracks

This book contains 2 books, which are:
Birds - Selecting the right bird and creating a comfortable living environment are crucial first steps in ensuring a happy and healthy life for your feathered companion. The process begins with understanding your own lifestyle and preferences, as this will help you choose a bird species that aligns with your needs. Birds vary widely in size, temperament, and care requirements. For example, small species like canaries and finches are low-maintenance and ideal for beginners, while parrots and cockatoos demand more attention and interaction due to their intelligence and social nature. Once you’ve chosen your bird, setting up an appropriate home is the next essential step. A well-chosen cage serves as both a sanctuary and a playground for your bird, so it’s important to select one that suits its size and activity level. Smaller birds require less space but still benefit from a cage that allows for free movement, while larger species need ample room to stretch their wings and explore. The spacing between the bars should be appropriate for your bird’s size to ensure safety and prevent escapes.
Parrots - Parrots are among the most captivating and intelligent birds, known for their vibrant plumage, social personalities, and remarkable ability to mimic sounds. These fascinating creatures have been companions to humans for centuries, offering not just companionship but also the joy of watching their unique behaviors and engaging in interactive activities. Whether you are a first-time parrot owner or have experience with pet birds, understanding the intricacies of parrot care and training is essential for ensuring a happy and healthy life for your feathered friend.
