Black Holes Wormholes and Time Machines

Bringing the material up to date Black Holes Wormholes and Time Machines Second Edition captures the new ideas and discoveries made in physics since the publication of the best-selling first edition. While retaining the popular format and style of its predecessor this edition explores the latest developments in high-energy astroparticle physics and Big Bang cosmology. The book continues to make the ideas and theories of modern physics easily understood by anyone from researchers to students to general science enthusiasts. Taking you on a journey through space and time author Jim Al-Khalili covers some of the most fascinating topics in physics today including: Black holes Space warps The Big Bang Time travel Wormholes Parallel universes Professor Al-Khalili explains often complex scientific concepts in simple nontechnical terms and imparts an appreciation of the cosmos helping you see how time traveling may not be so far-fetched after all.

Acting and Character Animation The Art of Animated Films Acting and Visualizing

Animation has a lot to do with acting. That is character animation not the standardized mechanical process of animation. Acting and animation are highly creative processes. This book is divided into two parts: From film history we learn about the importance of actors and the variety of acting that goes into animation; then we will turn to the actor's point of view to describe the various techniques involved. Through exhaustive research and interviews with people ranging from the late Ray Harryhausen Jim Danforth Joe Letteri and Bruno Bozzetto this book will be the primary source for animators and animation actors. Key Features Interviews with industry legends are found throughout this exhaustive work on animation From film history we learn about the importance of actors and the variety of acting that goes into animation then turn to the actor's point of view to describe the various techniques involved Coverage of acting from Vaudeville to Rotoscoping to Performance Capture Case studies throughout bring the content to life while providing actionable tools and techniques that can be used immediately | Acting and Character Animation The Art of Animated Films Acting and Visualizing

Petroleum Refining Technology Economics and Markets Sixth Edition

For four decades Petroleum Refining has guided thousands of readers toward a reliable understanding of the field and through the years has become the standard text in many schools and universities around the world offering petroleum refining classes for self-study training and as a reference for industry professionals. The sixth edition of this perennial bestseller continues in the tradition set by Jim Gary as the most modern and authoritative guide in the field. Updated and expanded to reflect new technologies methods and topics the book includes new discussion on the business and economics of refining cost estimation and complexity crude origins and properties fuel specifications and updates on technology process units and catalysts. The first half of the book is written for a general audience to introduce the primary economic and market characteristics of the industry and to describe the inputs and outputs of refining. Most of this material is new to this edition and can be read independently or in parallel with the rest of the text. In the second half of the book a technical review of the main process units of a refinery is provided beginning with distillation and covering each of the primary conversion and treatment processes. Much of this material was reorganized updated and rewritten with greater emphasis on reaction chemistry and the role of catalysis in applications. Petroleum Refining: Technology Economics and Markets is a book written for users the practitioners of refining and all those who want to learn more about the field. | Petroleum Refining Technology Economics and Markets Sixth Edition

Ransomware and Cybercrime

In May 2021 Jim Gosler known as the Godfather and commander of US agencies’ cyber offensive capability said ''Either the Intelligence Community (IC) would grow and adapt or the Internet would eat us alive. '' Mr Gosler was speaking at his retirement only several months before the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He possibly did not realise the catalyst or the tsunami that he and his tens of thousands of US IC offensive website operatives had created and commenced. Over the last two decades what Mr Gosler and his army of Internet keyboard warriors created would become the modus operandi for every faceless nameless state-sponsored or individual cybercriminal to replicate against an unwary ill-protected and ignorant group of executives and security professionals who knew little to nothing about the clandestine methods of infiltration and weaponisation of the Internet that the US and UK agencies led all in the name of security. This book covers many cyber and ransomware attacks and events including how we have gotten to the point of massive digital utilisation particularly during the global lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic to online spending that will see twice the monetary amount lost to cybercrime than what is spent online. There is little to no attribution and with the IC themselves suffering cyberattacks they are all blamed on being sophisticated ones of course. We are witnessing the undermining of our entire way of life our economies and even our liberties. The IC has lots to answer for and unequivocally created the disastrous situation we are currently in. They currently have little to no answer. We need—no we must demand—change. That change must start by ensuring the Internet and all connections to it are secure and no longer allow easy access and exfiltration for both the ICs and cybercriminals. | Ransomware and Cybercrime

Mining Haul Roads Theory and Practice

Mining haul roads are a critical component of surface mining infrastructure and the performance of these roads has a direct impact on operational efficiency costs and safety. A significant proportion of a mine’s cost is associated with material haulage and well-designed and managed roads contribute directly to reductions in cycle times fuel burn tyre costs and overall cost per tonne hauled and critically underpin a safe transport system. The first comprehensive treatise on mining haul road design construction operation and management Mining Haul Roads – Theory and Practice presents an authoritative compendium of worldwide experience and state-of-the-art practices developed and applied over the last 25 years by the three authors over three continents and many of the world’s leading surface mining operations. In this book the authors: Introduce the four design components of an integrated design methodology for mining haul roads – geometric (including drainage) structural functional and maintenance management Illustrate how mine planning constraints inform road design requirements Develop the analytical framework for each of the design components from their theoretical basis and using typical mine-site applications illustrate how site-specific design guidelines are developed together with their practical implementation Summarise the key road safety and geometric design considerations specific to mining haul roads Specify the mechanistic structural design approach unique to ultra-heavy wheel loading associated with OTR mine trucks Describe the selection application and management of the road wearing course material together with its rehabilitation including the use of palliatives Develop road and operating cost models for estimating total road-user costs based on road rolling resistance measurement and modelling techniques Illustrate the approach of costing a mining road construction project based on the design methodologies previously introduced List and describe future trends in mine haulage system development how mining haul road design will evolve to meet these new system challenges and how the increasing availability of data is used to manage road performance and ultimately provide 24x7 trafficability. Mining Haul Roads – Theory and Practice is a complete practical reference for mining operations contractors and mine planners alike as well as civil engineering practitioners and consulting engineers. It will also be invaluable in other fields of transportation infrastructure provision and for those seeking to learn and apply the state-of-the-art in mining haul roads. “This book is the most definitive treatise on mining haul roads ever written […] There has never been a text that addresses the many facets of mining haul roads on such a scope […]” From the Foreword by Jim Humphrey Professional Engineer Autonomous haulage systems developer and Distinguished Member of the Society of Mining Metallurgy and Exploration. | Mining Haul Roads Theory and Practice
