  Your Fast-Track Guide to PLCs, SCADA, and Smart Control.
  Book Description
  Embark on a structured, hands-on journey into the world of PLC Programming and Machine Automation. This comprehensive guide takes you from the fundamentals of IEC 61131-3 programming languages, ??such as Ladder Logic, Structured Text, and Function Blocks to the advanced techniques required to build reliable and scalable automation systems.
  Start by understanding how software environments interact with PLC hardware, and the field devices they control. Explore the inner workings of industrial networks, the role of standardization in system design, and how to ensure seamless communication and interoperability using protocols, such as Modbus, Profinet, and OPCs.
  As the chapters progress, you will gain practical insights into modular software design, integration with HMI and SCADA systems, and how to architect automation projects for small machines as well as complex processes. You will also learn how to future-proof your solutions through robust network topologies, version control practices, and building a solid foundation for modern, connected, and intelligent industrial control systems.

  This thought-provoking collection of original material, translated from Russian includes interviews with Dr. Buteyko covering the development of his ideas from 1962 to 1998 and his main CEOB (Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing) manual. It is important because it provides insight into the power of his method when used by trained practitioners, especially in a clinical setting. 
  He saw breathing as a fundamental measurable parameter in the treatment of 150 common diseases and because of his disciplined scientific research he never allowed it to be considered simply an alternative asthma treatment' as it is often now perceived in the West. With trained practitioners and Breathing clinics it would result in a profound improvement in the health of millions of people suffering from many different conditions throughout the world. 
  Here is a summary of the main chapters: 
  1. 1962 interview while he was Head of a functional Diagnostics laboratory within the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Science. 
  2. 1982 interview covers the development of his theoretical ideas and practical work in further detail. 
  3. Large practical guide (CEOB Breath Retraining Manual) showing his systematic approach to 'the Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing' in sick patients in a clinical setting. 
  4. 1997 Buteyko answers questions by callers on a public radio program. 
  5. Interview with a Siberian newspaper in 1998 when he was 75 where he talks about his work and medical and spiritual perspective. 
  6. Interview on Ukrainian Television in the late 1980s with a detailed restating of his work where he advocates for breathing retraining centers in Ukraine and Russia. 
  The book's approximate length is 35,000 words.

  What if everything you thought you knew about reality… was incomplete? 
  How can a particle be in two places at once? Why does simply observing something change its behavior? And how can two objects be “connected” across vast distances with no visible link? 
  This audiobook breaks down the mind-bending logic of quantum mechanics into something even complete beginners can follow — without dumbing it down. With engaging, bite-sized chapters, it brings you inside the bizarre but beautiful logic that shapes the tiniest parts of our universe… and influences far more than you might think. 
  You’ll finally understand concepts like entanglement, the photoelectric effect, and quantum uncertainty — but more importantly, you’ll discover how these ideas connect to technology, philosophy, and even the human body. 
  You’ll learn:Why the double-slit experiment is the weirdest and most important experiment in physicsHow observation can change reality, and what that really meansWhat Einstein got right — and wrong — about quantum mechanicsWhy energy is quantized, and what that means for atoms and lightHow mathematics became physics’ secret weaponWhat perturbation theory is, and how it helps predict the unpredictableThe surprising role of conservation laws and symmetriesWhat quantum physics tells us about the nature of time and causalityHow technology like lasers, transistors, and MRI depends on quantum principlesWhat modern science says about the human body as a quantum system 
  Forget lifeless textbooks. This is science with all the wonder left in.Start listening — and discover the quantum side of reality you were never taught in school.

  Curious Species - How Animals...

  Can corals build worlds? Do rattlesnakes enchant? What is a raccoon, and what might it know? Animals and the questions they raised thwarted human efforts to master nature during the so-called Enlightenment—a historical moment when rigid classification pervaded the study of natural history, people traded in people, and imperial avarice wrapped its tentacles around the globe. Whitney Barlow Robles makes animals the unruly protagonists of eighteenth-century science through journeys to four spaces and ecological zones: the ocean, the underground, the curiosity cabinet, and the field. Her forays reveal a forgotten lineage of empirical inquiry, one that forced researchers to embrace uncertainty. This tumultuous era in the history of human-animal encounters still haunts modern biologists and ecologists as they who struggle to fathom animals today. 
   
   
    
  In an eclectic fusion of history and nature writing, Robles alternates between careful historical investigations and probing personal narratives. These excavations of the past and present of distinct nonhuman creatures reveal the animal foundations of human knowledge and show why tackling our current environmental crisis first requires looking back in time.

  Rethinking Hypothyroidism - Why...

  In this primer for patients, their families, and their doctors, a leading physician and scientist explains why the standard treatment for hypothyroidism fails many—and offers an empowering call for change.
   
  
   
  Hypothyroidism, also commonly referred to as Hashimoto’s disease, affects millions in the United States alone. It occurs when the thyroid—the butterfly-shaped gland that sits in your neck right above the front of your shirt collar—malfunctions or after thyroid surgery, causing thyroid hormone levels in circulation to drop below normal. Thus, treatment is aimed at bringing these hormone levels back to normal. This is done with daily tablets of thyroxine or T4. Because hypothyroidism is so common, we likely know someone who is on this type of medication. While most patients respond well to this standard treatment, about ten to twenty percent (some two to three million individuals in the United States) are far from living a typical life. They exhibit “foggy brain”—low energy, confusion, and poor memory. Many doctors have shrugged off their complaints, believing these symptoms to be unrelated to the thyroid disease. In Rethinking Hypothyroidism, Dr. Antonio C. Bianco, a physician and a scientist who has studied hypothyroidism and thyroid hormones for decades, offers an accessible overview of the disease’s treatment and the role of big pharma in shaping it, making the case that the current approach is failing many patients. But more than this, Bianco calls for alternatives to improve lives, and he equips patients and their families with the tools to advocate for other treatments.
