This eagerly awaited text from the United States Institute for Theatre Technology Physics of Theatre Project provides a firm conceptual grounding in physics principles along with a clear guide of how to apply those concepts to numerous common theatrical situations. How much power do you need to drive a wagon or skid? Why do we use design factors and where do those values come from? How does a rake affect the moving scenery installed on it? The Physics of Theatre: Mechanics is a first step to understanding why the machines in theatre work the way they do.
The first half of the book uses theatrical examples to guide readers through developing an understanding of kinematics, statics and dynamics, rotational mechanics, and center of mass. The second half applies these concepts to increasingly complex theatrical machines: wagons and skids, static rigging, dynamic rigging, turntables, and jackknives.

For some theatre technicians, the idea of delving headlong into physics might seam daunting, so a math primer is included to help exercise those math skills again before diving into the text. The examples and formulas used in this text are algebra and trigonometry based. Theatre technicians do harder things than this every day. You can do this math.
For instructors, this text includes a guide to pedagogical techniques and resources which have been validated through research and are known to increase student learning.
The examples in this book work up from first principles - Newton's laws and basic truths about how the world functions. By working all of the formulas from the ground up, students learn how and why the formulas work. They can also make informed decisions about how to change the formula to fit their specific situations. Understanding first principles and having the ability to derive equations is an incredibly powerful skill. There are no mystery equations in this book. In each case, the reader knows where the equation came from and what assumptions were made.
One of the great powers of working formulas from base principles is that one set of concepts allows a user to create and adapt one formula for multiple situations rather than trying to remember numerous formulas, each for a specific case. For instance, this text will walk readers through generating one formula to determine the tensions in 2-point bridle rigging. Whether the bridles are even or uneven, at the same height or different heights doesn't matter. The tensions can be found for any bridle if we know the angles off of vertical and the load.
The same advantage exists for linear motion. If we are willing to do a little math, we can determine the force necessary to drive a wagon or skid at a particular acceleration, stop a fire curtain cleanly at the deck, or investigate why allowable fall arrest distances are what they are. The process for all of these situations is startlingly similar. It doesn't matter if we generate the necessary force with cylinders, motors or humans. If we start with the forces acting on a system, then we can choose the mechanics that best fit our situation, rather than choosing a type mechanism up front. It also gives us a straight-forward path for combining machines.
The Physics of Theatre: Mechanics hopes to increase our intuition as technicians and mechanical designers, so we can create a safer, more efficient industry.

Описание: Learning games have long been used in adult education, and are particularly common in business education. This has brought up the question on how to design effective learning games to be continuously readdressed, often to emphasize some particular aspect as key to designing effective, game-based learning. Despite famous game-designer Costikyans characterization of game-design as an art, rather than an engineering discipline, such studies all seem to look for a recipe for unraveling how to design effective learning games. This book discusses topics on game design and developmental research. Some of the topics include game design and development curricula for digital literacies and 21st century learning; the role of metaphors in game-based learning processes; illustrative, iterative, interdisciplinary and design-oriented use of learning games in university teaching; the relationship between game volatility, house edge and prize structure of gambling games and what it tells us about gambling game design; and a gaming system for shoulder rehabilitation.

Описание: Water is one of the most valuable resources on this Earth. Without it, people could not survive. However, we all too often use it like some unlimited resource that will never end. Emerging pressure on water resources from population and economic growth, climate change, pollution, and other challenges has major effects on our social, economic, and environmental safety. Many of our utmost significant aquifers are being over-pumped, affecting pervasive declines in groundwater levels. Sustainable Water Technologies addresses water resources management, sustainability of water resources, ground and surface water quality and quantity, water use and reuse, surface and ground water interaction, aquifer recharge, storage and more. Furthermore, emphasises emerging nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology applications as well as sustainable processes and products to protect the environment and human health, save water and energy, and minimise material use. This book intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on development of advanced technologies; a critical component in overcoming the looming water crisis. It lays emphasis on emerging technologies and strategies that facilitate water sustainability for future generations. The scope of sustainable management of water resources concerns the responsibility of water managers and users to ensure that water resources are allocated efficiently and equitably and used to achieve socially, environmentally and economically beneficial outcomes. Future policies to address the sustainable management of water resources will be greatly influenced by climate change and climate variability, including seasonality problems, such as changes in the timing of annual rainfall patterns or periods of snow pack melt. Recognition of the complexity and diversity of water resource management is important from a policy perspective, as it means there is no one-size-fits-all policy solution to improving water resource management. Policies addressing water resource management need to be tailored and targeted to situations specific to countries and regions within countries. This reflects the great variety across different water basins from the local to international levels in terms of the: heterogeneity of water sources; linkages between water resource and water pollution issues; allocation of water between consumptive uses, such as agriculture, domestic, industrial, power generation, and to meet environmental needs; and the management of the complex institutional and property right arrangements associated with water. New technologies are promising to transform wastewater into a resource for energy generation and a source of drinking water.
