New Releases by Gregory Rogers

It is 1992 and the space shuttle program is having its busiest year to date. Another mission is planned for the orbiter Columbia to operate the Spacelab module for scientific investigations. Yet this will not be a routine operation at all. Donna Kennedy will be only the second woman to command a shuttle crew. However, not everyone feels she is ready. This troubled mission will call upon her finest qualities as she navigates the events that will create the most difficult space venture since Apollo 13! NASA management has been warned about the repeated damage to the Thermal Protection System that must withstand temperatures above 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit during the return to Earth through the atmosphere. The disregard of these warnings is going to cost a heavy price on this occasion. It will be up to Donna Kennedy to save her spacecraft and crew in this distressed set of events that will challenge all she knows about spaceflight, control systems, and courage. This novel was originally published in 1995, bringing another warning to the NASA management. Sadly, no changes were made in the subsequent years. Eight years later, the nation suffered a great tragedy when we lost the Columbia and her crew. If only they had listened!

It is not often for U.S. Air Force and NASA senior flight surgeon to experience an event that shocks and mystifies him. However, that is what happened to Major (Doctor) Gregory Rogers in 1992. He first saw a flying saucer on a video feed to his location at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and then saw the writing on it that said U.S. Air Force and sported a U.S flight insignia on the craft. Keeping quiet about this event for 33 years, Dr. Rogers has now told his story on multiple podcast platforms and has had his story told by Newsweek and the New York Post. In this book, he will relate the strange incident, as well as other tales from his military career. His story is being told to the American public and to all humans on the planet. This is your opportunity to find out what truly happened!

Angels, both righteous and fallen, engage in military operations focused on framing the real nature of how all things came to be; their target, a small group of men and women whose core beliefs are challenged as the truth about the origins of Heaven and Earth is brought to light.

The work summarized in this thesis focuses on the recording and analysis of data from micro-ECoG arrays implanted in vivo. The electrode arrays with diameters on the order of tens of microns and grid pitches on the order of hundreds of microns are recording from the surface of the brain at a novel scale. The research summarized in this work is aimed at the successful implantation and recording of these arrays and subsequent analysis of the properties of the electric potentials on the brain surface as measured at this considerably smaller than usual scale.

It might be said that ninety percent of the population base their assumptions on the same-sex issue on only ten percent of the available evidence... The highly controversial subject of homosexuality receives welcome illumination in this definitive volume. The product of some ten years meticulous research, 'Homosexuality: An Issue for our Time' deals thoroughly and meticulously with most every key area touching on this much-heated issue, and comes to reasoned, well-planned conclusions. Topics treated include: -What is the actual percentage of gay persons in mainstream society? -Homosexuality: born or bred? (three chapters) -Is there any such thing as a 'gay agenda'? (three chapters) The book also deals thoroughly with issues such as same-sex marriage, adoption by same-sex couples, and homosexuality and the church. Thorough yet thoroughly readable, 'Homosexuality: An Issue for our Time' provides a balanced, enlightening treatment of this much-misunderstood subject, shedding light and enlightenment for any honest enquirer (and perhaps even a few dishonest ones...)

The complete set of award-winning wordless classics by a master of visual storytelling.

When a boy being chased through present-day London seeks refuge in the National Gallery, a dog escapes from the painting of one Dutch master, and together they leap into the painting of another, where their adventures in 17th-century Delft are a prelude to returning to London and continuing the chase. Full color.

Things were tough at times for Twofold Castle's newest page, but Roland never expected to be this cold, hungry or wet. Mind you, Roland never expected to be this lost either. He was supposed to be with Morris, Humphrey and the other pages on a Royal hunting trip. Instead Roland and his pet mouse Nudge were lost in a thick, dark and terrifying forest. Why didn't anyone explain how easy it is to become separated from the main party when the chase is on? And what does a small boy and a mouse do when the only possible rescuer is the last person either of you wants to see?

This thesis presents the results from a modification of a previously existing research project titled the Intelligent Pothole Repair Vehicle (IPRV). The direction of the research in this thesis was changed toward the development of an industrially based mobile robot. The principal goal of this work was the demonstration of the Precision Mechatronics Lab (PML) robot. This robot should be capable of traversing any known distance while maintaining a minimal position error. An optical correction capability has been added with the addition of a webcam and the appropriate image processing software. The primary development goal was the ability to maintain the accuracy and performance of the robot with inexpensive and low-resolution hardware. Combining the two abilities of dead-reckoning and optical correction on a single platform will yield a robot with the ability to accurately travel any distance. As shown in this thesis, the additional capability of off-loading its visual processing tasks to a remote computer allows the PML robot to be developed with less expensive hardware. The majority of the literature research presented in this paper is in the area of visual processing. Various methods used in industry to accomplish robotic mobility, optical processing, image enhancement, and target interception have been presented. This background material is important in understanding the complexity of this field of research and the potential application of the work conducted in this thesis. The methods shown in this research can be extended to other small robotic vehicles, with two separate drive wheels. An empirical method based upon system identification was used to develop the motion controllers. This research demonstrates a successful combination of a dead-reckoning capability, an optical correction method, and a simplified controller methodology capable of accurate path following. Implementation of this procedure could be extended to multiple and inexpensive robots used in a manufacturing setting.
