Alternating Currents - Fundamentals and calculation methods

Sandro Ronca

Sinopsis

This volume exposes and develops the essential topics for understanding the physical foundations and calculation methods of alternating current circuits. The text is a useful tool for the acquisition of skills necessary for professionals as well as students of Electrical and Electronic Technologies, also representing a preparatory resource for university courses.
            Specifically, it is composed of the first six chapters of the larger work: "From Alternating Current to the Fourier Transform" and is recommended for those who intend to limit themselves to the study or review of only the aspects relating to the steady state of single-phase alternating current systems.
                The maximum possible self-sufficiency was one of the guiding elements in the conception of this work, with references and detailed explanations of the most critical aspects of the subject, with the aim of making the reader as autonomous as possible and quickly.
              Knowledge of the basic concepts relating to direct current networks and the possession of elementary notions of electromagnetism are considered prerequisites for tackling this text, but as regards the topic of alternating currents, as mentioned, the text is substantially self-sufficient.
             For each chapter there is a certain number of examples and for all there are verification problems.  

1 SINUSOIDAL ELECTRICAL QUANTITIES 
2 SINUSOIDS, PHASORS AND COMPLEX NUMBERS 
3 IMPEDANCE AND REACTANCE 
4 ADMITTANCE AND AC NETWORKS 
5 RESONANCE 
6 ELECTRICAL POWER IN AC SYSTEMS

Our Western spring - Where is...

Nir Shvalb

"Progress is not just electronics and robots; it’s also adaptation and correction of social structures in light of these technological advances," Shvalb asserts, warning that "the old democracy won't survive if we don’t adjust it to the new era." 
After reviewing the social phenomena leading societies to dangerous places, he points out, "History teaches us that civilizations tend to fade, and when they do, it can happen very suddenly." He then explores the influence of social networks on public discourse, noting that "fake news spreads six times faster than truthful news." As a scientist in the field of hard sciences, he examines the dangers of advancing technology, particularly the role of AI in societal unrest. Shvalb questions, "Can technological mega-giants know us intimately enough to control our choices?" 
Life as we knew it no longer exists. The benefits technology has given us come with a heavy price. In a world where social interactions are shaped by powerful platforms guiding the way we think, behave, buy, and choose, there is a real risk to our societies that we must consider. The last part of the book is dedicated to practical solutions and suggestions. Yet, despite its serious themes, "Our Western Spring: Where is Political Divide Leading Us?" is engaging and fun to read. If you're curious about who suffered from scrotal ascites, what is considered the worst film of all time, or why China's government hates Winnie-the-Pooh, this book is for you. This blend of intriguing trivia and insightful analysis makes the book both thought-provoking and enjoyable, offering readers a captivating journey through the complexities of modern society.

Lite is Dangerous -...

Henriette Chardak

In 6,000 food products, aspartame is found everywhere in so-called diet nutrition. However, several scientific studies show that this sweetener is harmful for children, pregnant women and epileptics. Used to replace sugar and reduce the caloric intake of food, aspartame actually works in the opposite direction, it develops obesity and diabetes. In this first in-depth investigation of the diet industry, Henriette Chardak exposes a health scandal. She shows why the use of aspartame continues despite the risks it generates. How people were pushed into consuming these chemical substances—whose harmlessness had been questioned for many years. Between Chicago and Tokyo, top-secret files and complacency of the authorities, the author offers us a breathless thriller, behind-the-scenes of the world chemical industry. The story begins in Chicago and ends up in our plates and our medicines. A real cold case, where readers will find the keys to a thriller that was played out in the 1970s. They will make up their minds about the usefulness—or danger—of this fake sugar.
Two scoops:
• super sweeteners from aspartame are given to cattle to make them grow fatter faster;
• Japan, which manufactures aspartame, does not consume it.
This book also lays bare what is was not meant to be told—the conflicts of interest, colossal stakes, secret files forbidden to the public.

Vanishing Life on Earth

Bimalendu B. Nath

The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.
