This volume details the principles underlying rapid solidification
processing, material structure and properties, and their
applications. This practical resource presents a manifold approach
to both amorphous and crystalline rapidly solidified metallic
alloys.;Written by over 30 internationally acclaimed specialists in
their respective fields, Rapidly Solidified Alloys: surveys
nucleation and growth studies in undercooled melts; examines
various processes for the production of rapidly solidified alloys;
discusses the compaction of amorphous alloys; describes surface
remelting treatments for the rapid solidification of surface layers
and the resultant improved workpiece properties; covers the closely
related topics of structural relaxation, atomic transport and other
thermally induced processes; demonstrates microstructure-property
relationships in rapidly quenched crystalline alloy systems and
their beneficial effects in applications; and elucidates the basic,
engineeering, and applications-oriented magnetic properties of
amorphous alloys.;Furnishing more than 2300 literature citations
for further study of specific subjects, Rapidly Solidified Alloys
is intended for materials, mechanical, product, and civil
engineers; metallurgists; magneticians; physicists; physical
chemists; and graduate students in these disciplines.
Ganbatte (gan-ba-tay) is a Japanese philosophy focused on doing the
best you can with what you have. Though there is no direct
translation, "Keep Going," and "Give it your all," embody the
sentiments behind the word. Just as wabi sabi shows the beauty of
imperfection in life, ganbatte teaches you how to get past
obstacles and be motivated to keep moving forward. In Ganbatte!
author Albert Liebermann provides an inspirational, yet practical
guide to becoming more resilient the Japanese way. In 50 short
chapters, some deeper and some more playful, Liebermann guides you
through ways you can adopt the ganbatte approach to achieve a
happier, more fulfilling life--and a happier, more fulfilled self.
These include: Separating "difficult" from "impossible" Making use
of failure Cultivating patience Working mindfully with a sense of
awareness Continually improving Practicing meditation Pushing
through a crisis Taking the slow route Sprinkled throughout the
book are "Ganbatte Rules"--short, actionable steps you can take to
move forward in a part of your life where you may be stuck (whether
it's fitness, love or starting a business). A foreword by Hector
Garcia, author of the bestselling Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a
Long and Happy Life, introduces the concept of ganbatte and how he
learned of its existence from one of Japan's centenarians. While
many aspects of life are beyond our control, how we deal with
setbacks and difficulties is as much of a choice as how we approach
everyday tasks. This book helps you tap into your own ability to
persevere and encourages you to stay motivated and hopeful in
difficult times. If you apply the tenacity and resilience of the
Japanese in your daily life, difficult becomes easy, and impossible
becomes possible.

Vitrification in Assisted Reproduction presents standard and new
cryopreservation techniques in detail, outlining those that have
resulted in success, and providing recommended means for overcoming
typically encountered problems. This new edition provides a much
broader range of clinical application and data to demonstrate its
contribution to the use of vitrified oocytes and embryos. The book
also discusses new areas in the field of assisted reproductive
technology such as oocyte banking, preimplantion diagnostics at the
blastocyst stage, and the burgeoning adoption of elective single
embryo transfer. Written by expert scientists and clinical
embryologists, this book will help you to consistently and
predictably apply vitrification as an important therapeutic
strategy in assisted reproduction.
This book expands the information the factory provided pilot's
operating handbook (POH) gives and provides valuable information
for pilots flying or going to fly the Robinson R-44.Whether you are
a student pilot getting to know the R-44 or an experienced pilot
reviewing content for recency or biannual check rides this Handbook
will provide the information you need.It features and explains the
main content of the POH giving a more detailed and in-depth
description about the Systems, the Performance and the Limitations
of the Robinson R-44 helicopter.Be able to do a more throughout,
knowledgeable Pre-Flight inspection and get a better understanding
about the R-44's features by reading the enhanced System
descriptions.For the pilot to get a more thorough safety
understanding the Robinson Awareness Training is included, as well
as a special emphasis on the Performance and Loading Limits of this
specific helicopter.This book covers all models of the R44 series.
Regarding a significant difference between these models, the
principles and limitations of the carburetor, as well as the fuel
injection are explained in an easy to understand manner. Also
provided in this Handbook are conversion tables for multiple units.

Physical Therapy Association (APTA), CEO of Prime Rehabilitation
Services, Inc. Illustrator: Katie Soko Editor: Alison Cohen About
the Book: This 74-page clinical book is written in a user-friendly
format with colorful, easy-to-follow, illustrated functional
exercises. It is intended for therapists to utilize during
treatment in the care environment (hospital, outpatient, nursing
home, assisted living, and home) in order to demonstrate, practice
and teach proper techniques. It then becomes a familiar tool to use
upon discharge from the skilled therapy program for both the
patient and the caregiver. The explanations and colorful
illustrations provide the patient and care givers with visible and
achievable goals which they can use as a practice guide. The book
relates primarily to a brain attack that affects the strength and
sensation of one side of the body, and it focuses on a few basic
aspects of body motion: Trunk control Stabilization, strength, and
flexibility for the bodys core structure, followed by arm and leg
movements. Weight shifting- and equal weight bearing on both sides
of the body. Correct breathing Long exhalation (in flexion) versus
short inhalation (in extension). Repetition The best way to
increase brain plasticity (its ability to change) and restore
motion About the Author: Yaffa Liebermann, PT, GCS, CEO of Prime
Rehabilitation Services, Inc. has 42 years of clinical experience
and she is a certified Neuro-Developmental Therapist (NDT) in adult
Hemiplegia. She found her love and passion working with the elderly

Liebermann hopes to educate people about how patients can breathe
better and perform movements in a safe and correct wayso they can
prevent future injuries and carry their bodies in a healthy and
beautiful way. About the Illustrator: Katie Soko is Ph.D. candidate

Up until fairly recently, memory used to be mainly considered
within the frames of the nation and related mechanisms of group
identity. Building on mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion, this
form of memory focused on the event as a central category of
meaning making. Taking its cue from a number of Anglophone novels,
this book examines the indeterminate traces of memories in literary
texts that are not overtly concerned with memory but still latently
informed by the past. More concretely, it analyzes novels that do
not directly address memories and do not focus on the event as a
central meaning making category. Relegating memory to the realm of
the latent, that is the not-directly-graspable dimensions of a
text, the novels that this book analyses withdraw from overt memory
discourses and create new ways of re-membering that refigure the
temporal tripartite of past, present and future and negotiate what
is 'memorable' in the first place. Combining the analysis of the
novels' overall structure with close readings of selected passages,
this book links latency as a mode of memory with the productive
agency of formal literary devices that work both on the micro and
macro level, activating readers to challenge their learned ways of
reading for memory.
