This lecture provides an introduction to transmission line effects in the time domain. Fundamentals including time of flight, impedance discontinuities, proper termination schemes, nonlinear and reactive loads, and crosstalk are considered. Required prerequisite knowledge is limited to conventional circuit theory. The material is intended to supplement standard textbooks for use with undergraduate students in electrical engineering or computer engineering. The contents should also be of value to practicing engineers with interests in signal integrity and high-speed digital design. Table of Contents: Introduction / Solution of the Transmission Line Equations / DC Signals on a Resistively Loaded Transmission Line / Termination Schemes / Equivalent Circuits, Cascaded Lines, and Fan-Outs / Initially-Charged Transmission Lines / Finite Duration Pulses on Transmission Lines / Transmission Lines with Reactive Terminations / Lines with Nonlinear Loads / Crosstalk on Weakly Coupled Transmission Lines

Psychological experts are omnipresent across public and private spheres. Nonetheless, psychology has always been dogged by questions about its authority and validity. Psychological research has yielded relatively few unambiguous successes, and the widely publicized “replication crisis” has called much of the published literature into question. How closely akin to other experimental sciences is psychology, and should its findings be assessed by the same standards? What makes psychology distinct, and how do such differences affect understandings of the boundaries of science? In The Unbuilt Bench, David Peterson argues that the scientific study of the mind and human behavior is a different sort of epistemic activity than the work of the natural sciences. Through fieldwork in ten experimental psychology laboratories and, as a comparison, a molecular biology lab, he explores the concrete practices of experimentation. Ongoing improvement of research practice and technology at the frontiers of data collection, a process Peterson calls “bench-building,” is essential to most sciences, since it opens new possibilities for experimentation. Psychology labs, however, largely lack an emphasis on bench-building. Instead, the discipline and its subfields gravitate toward different dimensions of scientific progress that focus on theory building and cultivation of outside audiences. An empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated exploration of experimental psychology and scientific practice, The Unbuilt Bench also offers new insight into the ethical questions that psychology’s aims raise.

This book explores how Australian secondary schools prepare their students for global citizenship. Globalisation has irrevocably changed modern countries and societies, and the benefits and pressures this brings are being felt as never before. Drawing on empirical data from six Australian secondary schools, the author examines how school leaders and teachers understand global citizenship, how they translate this into their practice, and how students experience and make sense of global citizenship education. In doing so, the book portrays how school leaders, teachers and students grapple with key issues central to global citizenship education, including how they work to mediate some of the tensions involved. While the book concentrates on the Australian context, its findings and analysis have resonance for other countries in which global citizenship education operates as a core goal of education and schooling.

ESCAPADAS INCRÍVEIS. UMA JORNADA DESESPERADA. E OS TERRÍVEIS FANGS DE DANG. Janner, Tink e Leeli Igiby pensavam ser crianças normais com vidas normais e um passado normal. Mas agora eles sabem que são as verdadeiras Joias Perdidas de Anniera, herdeiros de um reino lendário além do mar ― e que, repentinamente, todos parecem querer matá-los. Para sobreviverem, os irmãos Igiby terão de fugir para a segurança das Pradarias de Gelo, onde os reptilianos Fangs de Dang não conseguem segui-los. Antes, no entanto, eles precisam escapar dos monstros da Floresta Glipwood (todos com dentes muito afiados), dos ardilosos Marginais da Curva Oriental (canalhas sanguinários, todos eles) e da temível Fábrica de Garfos (ai!). Ainda mais perigosos, porém, são os ciúmes e as amarguras que ameaçam separá-los. Janner e seus irmãos precisam aprender do jeito difícil que o amor da família é mais importante que todo o resto.

Hay una fuerte conexión bíblica entre las personas y los árboles. Ambos provienen de la suciedad. A ambos se les dice que den fruto. De hecho, el lenguaje arbóreo se aplica tan a menudo a los humanos que es fácil pasarlo por alto, ya sea que estemos hablando de árboles genealógicos, pasando nuestra semilla, cortando a alguien como una rama, estando arraigado en un lugar o llevando el fruto del Espíritu. Es difícil negar que los árboles significan algo, teológicamente hablando. Este libro es en muchos sentidos una memoria, pero también es un intento de despertar al lector a la gloria de Dios brillando a través de su creación. Uno de los primeros mandamientos a Adán y Eva fue "trabajar y guardar" el jardín. El galardonado autor y compositor Andrew Peterson, siendo lo más honesto posible, comparte una historia de infancia, dolor, redención y paz, caminando a través de un bosque de recuerdos: "Confío en que al contar mi historia, te encontrarás con la tuya. Con suerte, como yo, verás que el Dios del Jardín está y siempre ha estado presente, trabajando y manteniendo lo que ama". A veces planta, a veces poda, pero en su bondad tiene la intención de cosechar una cosecha de justicia. There’s a strong biblical connection between people and trees. They both come from dirt. They’re both told to bear fruit. In fact, arboreal language is so often applied to humans that it’s easy to miss, whether we''re talking about family trees, passing along our seed, cutting someone off like a branch, being rooted to a place, or bearing the fruit of the Spirit. It’s hard to deny that trees mean something, theologically speaking. This book is in many ways a memoir, but it’s also an attempt to wake up the reader to the glory of God shining through his creation. One of the first commands to Adam and Eve was to “work and keep” the garden. Award-winning author and songwriter Andrew Peterson, being as honest as possible, shares a story of childhood, grief, redemption, and peace, by walking through a forest of memories: “I trust that by telling my story, you’ll encounter yours. Hopefully, like me, you’ll see that the God of the Garden is and has always been present, working and keeping what he loves.” Sometimes he plants, sometimes he prunes, but in his goodness he intends to reap a harvest of righteousness.
