From rising picture book star Andrew Arnold comes I Have a Question, a book for anyone who’s ever felt too shy, too afraid, or too silly to raise their hand and ask a question. For Stevie, speaking up in class can be scary. So, when Ms. Gail asks, “Are there any questions?” Stevie looks around the classroom, hoping someone will raise their hand. But no one does. No one has a single question. Except Stevie. “I can’t ask, can I? If I do, I know just what will happen,” Stevie thinks, beginning a journey of worried imagination. Everyone will certainly laugh, they''ll think the question is silly, they''ll think Stevie is silly. But Stevie has to know. Stevie has to ask. Written with terrific humor, empathy, and tenderness, author-illustrator Andrew Arnold''s I Have a Question is wonderfully funny and mightily empowering--inspiring anyone who has ever felt too shy, too silly or too afraid to raise their hand.

What''s the Matter Marlo? is a picture book about best friends that highlights empathy, as well as anger and sadness, and reminds us that these aren''t feelings to run away from, but instead to help each other through. Marlo and Coco are best friends. They do everything together—they read together, laugh together, and play games together. After all, they’re best friends. And that’s what best friends do. But one day, when Coco asks Marlo to play, he doesn’t answer. Instead, Marlo turns away ignoring Coco, until he’s lost in his anger. Coco is worried about her friend, but then she remembers she can always find Marlo. In this charming, thoughtful picture book, author-illustrator Andrew Arnold explores empathy and sadness, and how friends can help each other navigate big emotions. Because that’s what best friends do.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart arrhythmia of clinical significance. Internal cardioversion can be used to restore sinus rhythm; however, the amount of delivered energy elicits intolerable pain. Lowering delivered energy could make implantable cardioverters a promising treatment option. This study simulated cardioversion shocks in a model of the human heart using finite element analysis to determine effects of different electrode placements on defibrillation threshold (DFT) and esophageal electric field (EEF) near the left atrium. Ten right atrial to coronary sinus electrode placements were tested. Small shifts in electrode placements changed DFT by up to 42%, indicating electrode position is an important factor in lowering DFT. A relationship was not discovered between EEF and DFT. If a relationship can be discovered between an alternate EEF or other measure and DFT, electrode placements could be optimized on a patient-specific basis to lower delivered energy to painless or tolerable levels. .

During the development of modern aircraft, testing of sub scale models of the airframe is often done in wind tunnels to evaluate the effect that the aircraft inlet can have on the propulsion system. During these inlet integration test, special test equipment is required to vary the airflow through subscale inlet to represent an engine that varies from low to high thrust levels. A forty pressure probe array is also frequently used to characterize potential pressure defects in terms of extent (angular range of low pressure defect) and intensity. This thesis explores using a rotor with blades of different modal frequencies (mis-tuned rotor) to both vary the airflow through the inlet and measure the pressure distortion extent and intensity. The pressure distortion extent and intensity is determined by measuring blade vibrations using a Non-intrusive Stress Measurement System (NSMS). The blade vibrations are an input to an algorithm that evaluates the Fourier series composition of the circumferential pressure variation. An experimental rig with a mis-tuned rotor was developed to explore the new measurement device. Variations in blade vibratory amplitudes with varying pressure distortion levels were measured with the experimental rig, but blade excitation from other experimental rig features limited the usability of the test results. An effort was then undertaken to develop a model in the Simulink® environment that matched the experimental test rig results. This simulation did match the experiment rig results, and final evaluation of the proposed device was performed using the simulation alone. The measurement device as proposed in this thesis was limited to measuring pressure distortion with the desired uncertainty requirements at only one airflow. Recommendations are made to reconfigure the mis-tuned rotor to permit measuring pressure distortion at up to four different airflows. Recommendations are also made for advanced NSMS processing algorithms that will result in a reduction in the pressure measurement error.

All day long, the Knight peels turnips. This isn’t what she had in mind for her first magic lesson. She wants to make a magic potion, not soup! Things get a lot more exciting when she steals the wizard’s magic wand and spell book. Her potion transforms Edward into a giant worm—and he’s hungry! Hocus Focus offers more sweet, goofy storytelling from the creators of Adventures in Cartooning. With simple how-to-draw tutorials on the endpapers, these cute picture books are a playful extension of the hit instructional series.

The knight and her horse, Edward, have made a startling discovery: there are three huge ogres asleep at her doorstep! When they wake up, the kingdom is in big trouble! The knight, Edward, and some garden gnomes fight back, not with swords and shields, but with potato peelers and spoons. It turns out that ogres are pretty friendly when they have full stomachs!

If the railroads won the Gilded Age, the coal industry lost it. Railroads epitomized modern management, high technology, and vast economies of scale. By comparison, the coal industry was embarrassingly primitive. Miners and operators dug coal, bought it, and sold it in 1900 in the same ways that they had for generations. In the popular imagination, coal miners epitomized anti-modern forces as the so-called “Molly Maguire” terrorists. Yet the sleekly modern railroads were utterly dependent upon the disorderly coal industry. Railroad managers demanded that coal operators and miners accept the purely subordinate role implied by their status. They refused. Fueling the Gilded Age shows how disorder in the coal industry disrupted the strategic plans of the railroads. It does so by expertly intertwining the history of two industries—railroads and coal mining—that historians have generally examined from separate vantage points. It shows the surprising connections between railroad management and miner organizing; railroad freight rate structure and coal mine operations; railroad strategy and strictly local legal precedents. It combines social, economic, and institutional approaches to explain the Gilded Age from the perspective of the relative losers of history rather than the winners. It beckons readers to examine the still-unresolved nature of America’s national conundrum: how to reconcile the competing demands of national corporations, local businesses, and employees.

A story about the magical cartooning elf and a brave knight creating a book for children for Christmas introduces information about story elements, rhyming text, and creating comic strips.

Once upon a time ... a princess tried to make a comic. And with the help of a magical cartooning elf, she learned how--well enough to draw her way out of an encounter with a dangerous dragon, near-death by drowning, and into her very own adventure! Like the princess, young readers will discover that they already have the drawing and writing skills it takes to make a comic -- they just need a little know-how. And Adventures in Cartooning supplies just that--Publisher description.

China's increasing influence has surpassed that of an emerging power and now directly confronts the United States' (U.S.) interests within the Pacific and throughout the world. The People's Republic of China (PRC) ascendancy as a world power will be the greatest strategic challenge that faces the United States over the next century. Historically a major land power, China has embarked on a massive build-up of naval forces to counter U.S. maritime power in the region, provide security for her national economic interests, and demonstrate her political power throughout the region and the world. This naval expansion appears to go beyond simply challenging U.S. maritime capability; rather, this increase may be part of a complex plan of military expansion, economic development, and political hegemony. While China's rise to superpower status presents a broad range of national and international challenges and opportunities, a key insight into Sino ambitions may be obtained through careful analysis of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). These objectives have strategic consequences for the U.S., and America's response to these challenges will affect this nation's ability to compete economically, influence the region politically, and if necessary, respond militarily.
