In her third poetry book, Bianca Bowers explores the complexities of love by asking the question: "What if our brains are slaveowners and love was never meant to be imprisoned?"
"I would not love the ocean if she were shallow and I cannot love you like this
So I will stop like a hurricane before its death."
In The Pursuit of Happiness Bianca C. Williams traces the experiences of African American women as they travel to Jamaica, where they address the perils and disappointments of American racism by looking for intimacy, happiness, and a connection to their racial identities. Through their encounters with Jamaican online communities and their participation in trips organized by Girlfriend Tours International, the women construct notions of racial, sexual, and emotional belonging by forming relationships with Jamaican men and other "girlfriends." These relationships allow the women to exercise agency and find happiness in ways that resist the damaging intersections of racism and patriarchy in the United States. However, while the women require a spiritual and virtual connection to Jamaica in order to live happily in the United States, their notion of happiness relies on travel, which requires leveraging their national privilege as American citizens. Williams's theorization of "emotional transnationalism" and the construction of affect across diasporic distance attends to the connections between race, gender, and affect while highlighting how affective relationships mark nationalized and gendered power differentials within the African diaspora.

Описание: This volume offers the first comprehensive study of the De Nola (Venice 1514), a hitherto underappreciated Latin text written by the Nolan humanist and physician Ambrogio Leone. Furnished with four pioneering engravings made with the help of the Venetian artist Girolamo Mocetto, the De Nola is an impressively rich and multifaceted text, which contains an antiquarian (and celebratory) study of the city of Nola in the Kingdom of Naples. By describing antiquities, inscriptions, and buildings, as well as social and religious phenomena, the De Nola offers a precious window into a southern Italian Renaissance city, and constitutes a refined example of sixteenth-century antiquarianism. The work is analysed in a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing art and architectural history, antiquarianism, literature, social history, and anthropology.

In her second book of poetry, Bianca Bowers deconstructs and redefines her identity beyond the confines of domesticity while exploring her creative voice and searching for an unattainable sense of belonging as an Australian immigrant.
I watch the moon dwarf my bedroom window and shelter inside a question mark
With a mix of poems that are both surreal and grounded in reality, Bowers shifts between the conscious and subconscious, reality and dreams, as she seeks to find passage in a restless landscape.
When I find my voice, it muzzles the lark's chorus... my roots shrivel below the heath, but harebells bloom from my fingertips∼

"We pick flowers, knowing they will die. We press flowers, hoping they will survive."
Reading a poem is not so different to picking a flower. Like flowers, there are some poems we want to press between the pages of a book.
This book contains eighty six of my most popular poems from my first three books: Death and Life (2014), Passage (2015), and Love Is A Song She Sang From A Cage (2016).

"Death is the great disruptor. It thrusts us opposite life's mirror, invites our truthful exploration, and reveals the naked truth from which rebirth is possible and we are free to reinvent ourselves anew."
Death and Life is the first poetry book by Bianca Bowers, and includes poems and essays written between 1987 and 2013. Dedicated to those who struggle in their youth, and autobiograhical in nature, she invites you to journey through various psychological, emotional, and spiritual experiences to discover why death is not isolated to physical loss, but extends to figurative deaths that arise from larger themes such as patriarchy, abuse, depression, love, exile, belonging, and identity.
"Change blows through the branches of our existence and fortifies the roots on which we stand."

Описание: Automatic control is the application of control theory for regulation of processes without direct human intervention. In the simplest type of an automatic control loop, a controller compares a measured value of a process with a desired set value, and processes the resulting error signal to change some input to the process, in such a way that the process stays at its set point despite disturbances. This closed-loop control is an application of negative feedback to a system. The book, Automation Control Systems, prepares carefully, the background of each topic. Detail explanations of each step given make it easy for the students to understand the complicated derivations. Most of the theoretical topic are supported with practical illustrations. It covers emerging technologies in a timely manner for two important subjects automatic control systems. In particular, it allows researchers and students to become familiar with state-of-the-art developments in the field, and it also helps engineers and practitioners enhance their productivity with the latest technology.

Описание: "Model predictive control is an advanced method of process control that has been in use in the process industries in chemical plants and oil refineries since the 1980s. In recent years it has also been used in power system balancing models. Model predictive controllers rely on dynamic models of the process, most often linear empirical models obtained by system identification. The main advantage of model predictive control is the fact that it allows the current timeslot to be optimized, while keeping future timeslots in account. This is achieved by optimizing a finite time-horizon, but only implementing the current timeslot. Model predictive control has the ability to anticipate future events and can take control actions accordingly. MPC models predict the change in the dependent variables of the modelled system that will be caused by changes in the independent variables. In a chemical process, independent variables that can be adjusted by the controller are often either the setpoints of regulatory PID controllers or the final control element. Independent variables that cannot be adjusted by the controller are used as disturbances. Dependent variables in these processes are other measurements that represent either control objectives or process constraints. The book entitled Advanced Model Predictive Control is intended to present the readers the recent achievements in this field. The book also delivers applications of MPC in modern industry and effective commercial software for MPC is familiarized."

Описание: Measurement is the process of comparing unknown magnitude of certain parameter with the known predefined standard of that parameter. Measurements are one of vital parts of not only mechanical engineering but all types of engineering fields. Every branch of engineering comprises two processes: design, and operations and maintenance. The design may be machine design, building design, circuit design, transportation design, and automobile design etc. The operations part includes operation of the machines, automobiles, various plants, circuits etc. Both, the design, and operations and maintenance involve measurements. For instance while designing automobile we have to consider dimensions of various parts of the automobiles, the loads they can pick up etc. Likewise during the operations of the plant, say like industrial refrigeration plant, we have to measure parameters like pressure, temperature, etc. In the power plant we have to measure various quantities of the coal, the quantity of water in the boiler, the amount of steam produced along with its flow rate, temperature and pressure, the amount of power produced, the outlet temperature of the steam from condenser etc. In the large chemical plants large numbers of such parameters have to be measured. Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements provides a timely and indepth reference to the theory of engineering measurements, measurement system performance, and instrumentation.

Описание: A machine has a power source and actuators that generate forces and movement, and a system of mechanisms that shape the actuator input to achieve a specific application of output forces and movement. Machine component refers to an elementary component of a machine. Machine component may be features of a part (such as screw threads or integral plain bearings) or they may be discrete parts in and of themselves such as wheels, axles, pulleys, rolling-element bearings, or gears. All of the simple machines may be described as machine elements, and many machine elements incorporate concepts of one or more simple machines. The book, Machine Component Design, involves analytical methodologies for determining strength, stiffness and stability of a mechanical component and application of these methodologies to determine the size, shape, geometry and life of the components. Intended to serve as a reference tool on design of machine elements for students in mechanical, production and industrial engineering as well as for practicing engineers, this book is focused on all aspects of design of machine components including material selection and lift or performance estimation under static. Fatigue, impact and creep loading conditions. The wide range of real life applications and examples presented in the book provide conceptual understanding of complex and important engineering theories and will help students and practitioners to improve the decision process in the field of mechanical component design.

Описание: Control system engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with the principles of control theory to design a system which gives desired behaviour in a controlled manner. Hence, this is interdisciplinary. Control system engineers analyse, design and optimize complex systems which consist of highly integrated coordination of mechanical, electrical, chemical, metallurgical, electronic or pneumatic elements. Thus control engineering deals with diverse range of dynamic systems which include human and technological interfacing. The applications of automatic control system is believed to be in use even from the ancient civilizations. Several types of water clock were designed and implemented to measure the time accurately from the third century BC, by Greeks and Arabs. The two methods of control systems include classical methods and modern methods. The mathematical model system is set up as first step followed by analysis designing and testing. Necessary conditions for the stability are checked and finally optimization follows. In classical method, mathematical modelling is usually done in time domain, frequency domain or complex s domain. Modern control engineering deals with Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems, State space approach, Eigen values and vectors etc. Instead of transforming complex ordinary differential equations, modern approach converts higher order equations to first order differential equations and solved by vector methods. Control System Engineering focuses on analysis and design of systems to improve the speed of response, accuracy and stability of system. It seeks to understand physical systems, using mathematical modelling, in terms of inputs, outputs and various components with different behaviours; use control systems design tolls to develop controllers for those systems; and implement controllers in physical systems employing available technology.
