Steve Coogan's legendary chat show host and broadcaster finally
receives the big screen treatment in this comedy directed by Declan
Lowney. Occupying a career stasis-defining role as a mid-morning DJ
on North Norfolk Digital Radio, Alan Partridge (Coogan)'s hopes for
one last shot at the big time suffer a severe setback when it
emerges that his employers have been taken over by a giant media
conglomerate. Alan soon finds himself back in the spotlight,
however, when newly-sacked fellow DJ Pat Farrell (Colm Meaney)
returns to the studio with a shotgun and begins taking hostages.
Called in by the police to act as a hostage negotiator, can
Britain's most famous Toblerone addict turn the tables and finally
save the day?
This is the latest edition - fully revised and updated - of the
standard textbook on aerodynamic theory, as applied to model
flight. Everything is explained in a concise and practical form for
those enthusiasts who appreciate that a better understanding of
model behaviour is the sure path to greater success and enjoyment,
whether just for fun or in competition. The revisions for this new
edition reflect the significant developments in model aircraft
during the last few years, and include brand new data: - The
chapter on aerofoils has been rewritten to take account of the vast
amount of testing carried out recently in the USA by the University
of Illinois. - A brand new chapter explains the latest research
into the flight of birds and insects and how it is applied to small
drones and model-sized surveillance aircraft. - Older wind tunnel
test reports all replaced with the latest trials and measurements.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th
Conference of the Workgroup Human-Computer Interaction and
Usability Engineering of the Austrian Computer Society, USAB 2011,
in Graz, Austria, in November 2011.
The 18 revised full papers together with 29 revised short papers
and 2 posters presented were carefully reviewed and selected from
103 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on
cognitive approaches to clinical data management for decision
support, human-computer interaction and knowledge discovery in
databases (hci-kdd), information usability and clinical workflows,
education and patient empowerment, patient empowerment and health
services, information visualization, knowledge & analytics,
information usability and accessibility, governmental health
services & clinical routine, information retrieval and
knowledge discovery, decision making support & technology
acceptance, information retrieval, privacy & clinical routine,
usability and accessibility methodologies, information usability
and knowledge discovery, human-centred computing, and biomedical
informatics in health professional education.

This book summarizes work done by the authors under the Esprit Tool
Use project (1985-1990), at GMD in Karlsruhe and at Berlin
University of Technology. It provides a comprehensive description
of the generic development language Deva designed by the authors.
Much of the research reported in this monograph is inspired by the
work of Michel Sintzoff on formal program development; he
contributed an enlightening Foreword. Deva is essentially a typed
functional language with certain deduction rules. The difference
with ordinary languages is, of course, the application domain: the
types serve here to express propositions such as specifications or
programs, rather than just data classes. Its practical
applicability was tested on several non-trivial case studies. The
whole book is written using the DVWEB system, a WEB for Deva,
beeing implemented at the Berlin University of Technology.
Years of experience have gone into a new walking guide to the Downs
- a book which fills its author with confidence. Of the 42 walks,
21 are within the West Sussex area, the area to the north of
Chichester being a particular favourite of Martin's. Ten years of
walking the Downs has gone into this book. Every walk has an
element of wow! factor, many using paths that don't appear in other
guides. It really is the Rolls Royce of South Downs walking. --West
Sussex Gazette. Book Description A staggeringly beautiful and
varied landscape, changing with the seasons, the South Downs offers
formidable scarp slopes, towering cliffs, flowing contours, river
valleys, and a wealth of woodland. Rich in history: prehistoric
burial mounds, Iron Age hill forts, ancient tucked away churches,
attractive villages and inns, all set in a backdrop of rolling
undulating hills. With challenging climbs, the rewards are, at
times, jaw-dropping! Nearly 2000 miles of footpaths and bridleways
crisscross the Downs, as well as new paths across access land and
nature reserves, stretching the 80 miles from Eastbourne to
Winchester. On many of the walks you may hardly see a soul, for
despite the proximity of large populations, getting away from it
all is a welcome reality. All 42 walking routes include: walking
route summary, ratings for Effort Time Distance Ascents/Descents
Refreshments and Vertigo risk, fully detailed walk description
including frequent timings to aid navigation and check your
progress, GPS waypoints at every key point on every route, full
colour 1:40,000 scale Ordnance Survey licenced mapping for each
route, short walk and stroll alternatives.
This monograph is concerned with the analysis and numerical
solution of a stochastic inverse anomaly detection problem in
electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Martin Simon studies the
problem of detecting a parameterized anomaly in an isotropic,
stationary and ergodic conductivity random field whose realizations
are rapidly oscillating. For this purpose, he derives Feynman-Kac
formulae to rigorously justify stochastic homogenization in the
case of the underlying stochastic boundary value problem. The
author combines techniques from the theory of partial differential
equations and functional analysis with probabilistic ideas, paving
the way to new mathematical theorems which may be fruitfully used
in the treatment of the problem at hand. Moreover, the author
proposes an efficient numerical method in the framework of Bayesian
inversion for the practical solution of the stochastic inverse
anomaly detection problem.
This book explains in simple terms the fundamental principles of
flight and the basic aerodynamic factors affecting radio controlled
flying models. Neither mathematics or higher physics is required in
order to understand how and why model aircraft behave and sometimes
misbehave in the way that they do. A little theory can be turned to
practical advantage, enhancing model performance and the enjoyment
experienced by the model flier. Although the book was written
primarily for fliers of conventional radio-controlled models, the
principles apply to other aspects of model flying such as free
flight, control-line, helicopters and gliders.
Airflow examines and describes the many ways in which modellers and
practitioners of a wide range of hobbies and sports (even cricket!)
can understand and confront, harness and exploit the physical
properties of wind and air. The book's admirable breadth and depth
offers something not only for students of many science and
technical subjects, but also to the hobbyists and disciples of
'alternative energy'. The book will be of particular interest to
the increasing number of people who are hooked on the thrill and
excitement of sports such as yachting, aeromodelling, ballooning,
car racing, parachuting, kite flying, boomerang throwing, hang
gliding, soaring in sailplanes and power flying.
This is a simple and easily understood guide to radio control
glider flying. No prior knowledge of flying, modelling or radio is
required and the advice offered will help the complete beginner to
avoid frustrating errors and possible subsequent disillusionment.
In this book you will find out how to choose your first model, what
kind of radio gear to buy, how to set about building the glider,
fitting the radio and linking up the controls, where to get help
when learning to fly, how to launch your model and make safe
landings, how to fly loops, slow rolls, stalls and spins and how to
soar over hills and in thermals.
