The development of new types of planetary and planetary face-gear
drives is proposed. The new designs are based on regulating
backlash between the gears and modifying the tooth surfaces to
improve the design. The goal of this work is to obtain a nearly
uniform distribution of load between the planet gears. In addition,
a new type of planetary face-gear drive was developed in this
project.
People all over the world are confronted daily by issues such as
poverty, a lack of access to quality education, unaffordable and or
inadequate housing, and a lack of needed health and mental
services. These issues are dynamic and varied, and social workers
need to have access to relevant and timely evidence-based materials
to meet the needs of those facing them. The Social Workers' Desk
Reference is a comprehensive resource for practicing social
workers. This essential reference is extraordinarily comprehensive
and provides updated information in 15 parts covering the
profession and its overarching themes; values, ethics, licensure;
theoretical constructs; assessment; treatment plans; techniques;
individual, family, and group Interventions; evidence-based
practice; case management; community practice; vulnerable
populations; behavioral and mental health; school social work;
military social work; and forensic social work. All 163 chapters,
written by experts in the field, are focused, practical, and
contain critical content in addition to websites and updated
references. The fourth edition follows in the tradition of the
first three editions and updates previous topics but fearlessly
addresses current salient subjects such as white nationalism,
gaming disorder, substance abuse, LGBTQ+ populations, suicide,
sexual violence in the military, smart decarceration, the legacy of
racism, neurobiology, technology and social work practice,
Islamophobia, pseudoscientific behavioral and mental health
treatments, emerging fields of practice, and more. It has greatly
expanded its section on vulnerable populations to address the wide
variety of diversity in the U.S.
With advances in carbon composite material, magnetic bearings,
microprocessors, and high-speed power switching devices, work has
begun on a space qualifiable Energy Momentum Wheel (EMW). An EMW is
a device that can be used on a satellite to store energy, like a
chemical battery, and manage angular momentum, like a reaction
wheel. These combined functions are achieved by the simultaneous
and balanced operation of two or more energy storage flywheels. An
energy storage flywheel typically consists of a carbon composite
rotor driven by a brushless DC motor/generator. Each rotor has a
relatively large angular moment of inertia and is suspended on
magnetic bearings to minimize energy loss. The use of flywheel
batteries on spacecraft will increase system efficiencies (mass and
power), while reducing design-production time and life-cycle cost.
This paper will present a discussion of flywheel battery design
considerations and a simulation of spacecraft system performance
utilizing four flywheel batteries to combine energy storage and
momentum management for a typical LEO satellite. A proposed set of
control laws and an engineering animation will also be presented.
Once flight qualified and demonstrated, space flywheel batteries
may alter the architecture of most medium and high-powered
spacecraft.
This book is intended to be a guide to enable protestants to
discern the difference between false religion and true religion.

In his most celebrated work, Mexican writer Francisco Rojas
Gonzalez offers a rare blend of literature and indigenous
anthropology. Inspired by his fieldwork in Chiapas, Mexico, these
13 stories reflect the author's preoccupation with the totality of
Mexican life and capture his heralded ability to penetrate the
contradictions of human nature. The book is a dramatic presentation
of myths, religious beliefs, and customs of Mexican Indians framed
in their rigid, overpowering code of ethics. It served as the basis
for the 1954 film "Roots," which won the FIPRESCI Prize at the
Cannes Film Festival of 1955.
