Summary

What Is Ground Level Power Supply
 
In the concept and group of technologies known as ground-level power supply (also known as surface current collection or, in French, alimentation par le sol), electric vehicles collect electric power at ground level from individually powered segments as opposed to the more common overhead power lines. The usage of a power supply located at ground level has been done largely for aesthetic reasons. In the latter part of the 2010s, it began to compete well with the overhead lines in terms of cost.

    This book consists of 3 titles, which are the following: 
    Exoplanets - Exploring exoplanets opens up a realm of possibilities for understanding the vastness of the cosmos. With over 4,000 confirmed exoplanets discovered to date, each new finding offers a glimpse into the incredible diversity of worlds that exist beyond our solar system. 
    Planetary Formation - Planetary formation is a captivating process that unfolds over millions to billions of years, sculpting the celestial bodies that populate our cosmos. It begins within the swirling embrace of a protoplanetary disk, a vast expanse of gas and dust leftover from the birth of a new star. Within this cosmic crucible, tiny grains of dust collide and coalesce, forming larger and larger aggregates known as planetesimals. Through the relentless pull of gravity, these planetesimals grow into protoplanets, embryonic worlds with the potential to one day become full-fledged planets. 
    Stellar Evolution - Stellar evolution refers to the process by which a star changes over the course of time. This field of astrophysics studies the formation, life, and death of stars, which involves a series of complex physical processes and transformations. Here, we outline the key stages and concepts in stellar evolution.

    Management is understood in different ways by different people. Economists regard it as a factor of production. Sociologists see it was a class or group of persons while practitioners of management treat it as a process. For our understand management may be viewed as what a manager does in a formal organization to achieve the objectives. It is called bee by Mary Parker Follet: “The art of getting things done through people”. This definition throws light on the fact that managers achieve organizational goals by enabling others to perform rather than performing the tasks themselves.The writer emphasizes on the project management skills with a maiden introduction of “Scrum project management skills”. Author has briefed the differences between management methodology of Scrum project management and other project management methods. 
    Scrum Project Management Method gives you: 
    1.Fast and easy understanding approach 
    2.A rapid process to reap the benefits quickly 
    3.It simplifies the toughest and difficult tasks technically 
    4.It is a framework in which you can join various processes and techniques

    In a country where health care is increasingly driven by profit, Margin over Mission exposes the dire consequences of corporate ownership in hospitals. James Kelly, an ICU nurse with over two decades of experience, narrates a gripping account of his final year at Lovelace Women's Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico—a year marred by preventable deaths, administrative changes, and the heartbreaking loss of a once-mission-driven institution to the clutches of Wall Street. 
     
     
     
    Kelly's poignant narrative takes listeners on an emotional journey through the corridors of a hospital that once stood for community and care but became overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. Through detailed anecdotes and critical analysis, Kelly reveals the stark reality of a health care system compromised by private equity, where decisions prioritize profit margins over the mission of saving lives. 
     
     
     
    Kelly's unique perspective as an ICU nurse provides an insider's look into how private equity is wreaking havoc in hospitals around the country. His story is also a powerful tribute to the countless health care workers who struggle to maintain their integrity and compassion in an increasingly inhumane system that prioritizes money over people.

    Many female athletes struggle with body confidence and change their nutrition in unhealthy ways, only to the detriment of both their performance and their health. SPRING Forward: Balanced Eating, Exercise, and Body Image in Sport for Female Athletes provides performance nutrition and body image flexibility guidance for adolescent and adult female athletes. This book details the problems and the consequences, and provides extensive education on healthier, higher-quality performance. 
     
     
     
    Nutritional details include specific nutritional needs for female athletes related to hormones and nutrition for peak performance, as well as fad diets. Body image education includes societal pressure, unrealistic ideals, handling mental aspects of body image, psychological obstacles, and dealing with more severe problems. Healthy performance is addressed along with sleep, camaraderie, and how to manage the ups and downs of being a female athlete. 
     
     
     
    Several instructional manuals that can be easily used for teams at any level, from secondary school to elite athletes, are included in the book. Secondary school athletes who used the program showed significant improvement in body image flexibility and gave the program rave reviews, stating that not only were they stronger athletes, but their teams also felt the education was a bonding experience.

    This audiobook is a study guide to prepare for the Respirator Fit Test CNC method exam. It presents more than hundred questions and answers relating to human respiratory system and defence mechanisms, health effects of airborne contaminants, respiratory hazards in the workplace, general respiratory fit testing and respiratory selection requirements, and a sample script to prepare for the submission of a video demonstrating respiratory fit testing by the CNC (Condensation Nuclei Counter) method. 
    Respirator fit testing is a process used to determine whether a particular respiratory protective equipment (RPE) fits an individual properly and provides an adequate seal to protect against hazardous substances. Fit testing is required for tight-fitting respirators, from disposable filtering facepieces to reusable full-face respirators, including some respirators that typically operate in positive pressure mode. 
    There are several methods that can be used for respirator fit testing, including the CNC (Condensation Nuclei Counter) method. The CNC method involves measuring the particulate concentration inside the respirator while the user is wearing it and performing a series of exercises or movements to simulate the physical demands of the job. If the ratio between the air concentration inside the respirator and outside of the respirator meets the respiratory protection standard it is considered to have a good fit. 
    To prepare for the RESP-FIT CNC method exam, this book provides the listener the principles and procedures of respirator fit testing, including the CNC method. This includes excerpts from Australian and International Standards and guidelines and learning about the various types of RPE and their specific fit testing requirements. The listener should also become familiar with the equipment and procedures used in fit testing, as well as the potential risks and limitations of the CNC method.
