Documentary following the career of legendary motor cycle racer
Valentino Rossi. Rossi is one of the most successful and celebrated
motorcyclists of all time. Hailing from Italy, he has won a record
nine Grand Prix World Championships. In the unforgiving world of
sport, however, past achievements count for little. This
documentary follows Rossi through the years 2010 and 2011 as he
bids to hold off a new batch of fast young racers and attempts to
recover from a broken leg sustained in an accident. Narrated by
Ewan McGregor.
Official review of the 2012 MotoGP season featuring racing action,
interviews and behind-the-scenes coverage from all 18 rounds of
competition. In what proved to be another fiercely competitive
championship, Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo was left to battle it out for
glory with Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa.
A look back at the last decade of racing in MotoGP. Widely
acknowledged as the world's top motorcycle racing competition,
MotoGP plays hosts to stars such as Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner,
Jorge Lorenzo and Nicky Hayden. The racers, along with other top
figures from the sport, reflect on such memorable events as the
rain-soaked 2007 Japanese Grand Prix, a huge crash at the 2006
Catalonia Grand Prix and the intense rivalry between Rossi and
Lorenzo.
Natural hazards and anthropic activities threaten the human
environment. The gathering of field data is needed so as to
quantify the impact of such activities. To gather the necessary
data researchers nowadays use a great variety of new instruments
based on electronics. Yet, the working principles of this new
instrumentation might not be well understood by some potential
users. All operators of these new tools must gain proper insight so
as to be able to judge whether the instrument is selected
appropriately and functions adequately. This book attempts to
demonstrate some characteristics that are not easy to understand by
the uninitiated in the use of electronic instruments. The material
presented in this book was prepared with the purpose of reflecting
the technological changes that have occurred in environmental
modern instrumentation in the last few decades. The book is
intended for students of hydrology, hydraulics, oceanography,
meteorology and environmental sciences. Basic concepts of
electronics, special physics principles and signal processing are
introduced in the first chapters in order to enable the reader to
follow the topics developed in the book, without any prior
knowledge of these matters. The instruments are explained in detail
and several examples are introduced to show their measuring
limitations. Enough mathematical fundamentals are given to allow
the reader to reach a good quantitative knowledge.
