From the creators of the critically acclaimed The Night Gardener and Ocean Meets Sky comes a whimsical and elegantly illustrated picture book about community, art, the importance of giving back—and the wonder that fell from the sky. It fell from the sky on a Thursday. None of the insects know where it came from, or what it is. Some say it’s an egg. Others, a gumdrop. But whatever it is, it fell near Spider’s house, so he’s convinced it belongs to him. Spider builds a wondrous display so that insects from far and wide can come look at the marvel. Spider has their best interests at heart. So what if he has to charge a small fee? So what if the lines are long? So what if no one can even see the wonder anymore? But what will Spider do after everyone stops showing up?

Lizzy and the Cloud is a whimsical and sweet tale of a young girl who cares for her pet cloud as it grows, from the creators of the critically acclaimed The Night Gardener and Ocean Meets Sky. It’s a little out of fashion to buy a pet cloud, but Lizzy doesn’t mind. She’s not looking for a big one or a fancy one, just one that’s right for her. And she finds it in Milo. Soon, she’s taking Milo out on walks with her family, watering Milo right on schedule and seeing Milo grow and grow. But what happens when her pet cloud gets too big for Lizzy to handle? This charming story with beautiful illustrations from the exceptionally talented Fan brothers will enchant readers young and old alike, teaching children an unpredictable journey of growth and loving something enough to set it free.

A delectable picture book about midnight snacks, nocturnal creatures and unexpected generosity, inspired by lunch carts that were the predecessors of today’s food trucks and diners. For fans of It Fell from the Sky and Lizzy and the Cloud. Noses sniff the air as mouthwatering smells waft down city streets, luring growling bellies to the Night Owl. Inside this elegant, horse-drawn establishment, a feathery cook works the grill, serving up tasty dishes for shift-workers and operagoers alike: a mince pie for Fox, a ham sandwich for Badger and puddings for little Possums. Mouse, a poor street sweeper, watches as the line of customers swells, ever hopeful that someone will drop a morsel of food — but Owl’s cooking is far too delicious for more than a crumb to be found. As the evening’s service winds down, weary Owl spots trembling Mouse. Has he found his own night lunch, or will he invite this small sweeper inside for a midnight feast for two? From the imagination of two acclaimed picture book creators, together for the first time, this dreamlike picture book is a magical ode to Victorian lunch wagons. Evoking the sounds, sights, smells and tastes of the city at night, Night Lunch reveals how empathy and kindness as well as dignity and gratitude can be found — and savoured — in the most unexpected places.

Technology industries primarily strive for innovation and revenue, living by mantras such as "move fast, break things" and "fail fast, fail often." These industrial demands have molded computing education systems to focus on commercial values and overlook the impact of technology on individuals and societies. Author Eric Fan has the conviction that the issues of educational equity and social impact in computing education are just as foundational in his book The Inclusive Code. The stories and lessons in The Inclusive Code apply to anyone interested in computer science education, diversity and inclusion, educational equity, or the social impact of computing. Taking a deep dive into the issues that face modern-day computing education systems, Fan poses concrete ideas and shares actionable stories to foster equity in these spaces. The Inclusive Code addresses the following topics: Providing students from diverse backgrounds access to study computer science Promoting inclusive and equitable learning experiences within computer science education Teaching the social impact of computing, including computer ethics, technological biases, and the accessibility of technology, in core computer science courses As the world moves into the future, we must create a culture that prioritizes people and societies in computing education. Fan and The Inclusive Code can help us achieve this goal.

A little boy builds a ship to honour his late grandfather and sets sail for the magical place where ocean meets sky from his grandfather''s stories.

MEMS based silicon ultrasonic nozzle utilizes piezoelectric transducer technique to generate Faraday wave mechanism on a longitudinal vibrator to produce micron sized monodisperse droplets that is beneficial in the drug delivery of lung diseases. While commercial devices provide a means for drug delivery, the non-uniform droplet distribution results in excessive drug usages that are usually expensive. Thus, the ultrasonic silicon nozzle serves as a novel solution to reduce the drug usage in addition to its low driving power and high delivery flow rate. Using the Finite Element Method through commercial software, ANSYS, the optimized shape of the device is being studied here. In order to do so, fundamental theories from mechanical vibration to damping theories are discussed. Various alternations and verificationsare performed in simulation in attempt to realize the optimized designing dimensions. To better match the simulation and experimental results, stress, strain, damping factor and material property were researched. To account for the narrow operating bandwidth of the nozzle, silicon thickness and tip enlargements on various Fourier Horns are simulated to gain a better insight in the generation of monodisperse droplets from multiple Fourier horns silicon ultrasonic nozzle.
