Queen Mary 2


Book Description

This book documents the creation, from keel laying to christening, of one of the most ambitious passenger vessels of all time, Cunard Line's new flagship, the Queen Mary 2. The story of the Queen Mary 2 is told by noted maritime historian John Maxtone-Graham, whose engaging text takes us through the building of the ship and details its world-class amenities.




General Combination Rules for Qualitative and Quantitative Beliefs


Book Description

Martin and Osswald have recently proposed many generalizations of combination rules on quantitative beliefs in order to manage the conflict and to consider the specificity of the responses of the experts. Since the experts express themselves usually in natural language with linguistic labels, Smarandache and Dezert have introduced a mathematical framework for dealing directly also with qualitative beliefs. In this paper we recall some element of our previous works and propose the new combination rules, developed for the fusion of both qualitative or quantitative beliefs.




Queen Mary 2


Book Description

A "giant of the seas, " the transatlantic liner Queen Mary 2 is longer than the Eiffel Tower is high and can carry more passengers than any ship in history (up to 3,090, in addition to 1,253 crew members). This book provides an in-depth look at the ship, with photos illustrating the laborious construction process.

Fortran Programs for First Order Calculation of Properties of Beam Transport Systems


Book Description

A set of FORTRAN functions and subroutines has been written to facilitate calculations, using matrix techniques, of the first order properties of ion-optical systems for particle accelerators. These functions and subroutines generate matrices for various magnetic elements used in ion-optical systems and also program various matrix manipulations. A subroutine to calculate the strength of magnetic quadrupoles required to achieve prescribed focal conditions is available. Functions used to calculate the maximum excursion of a particle trajectory from the optic axis in a magnetic element, to calculate the waist of a particle beam if the emittance satisfies certain conditions, and to calculate the location of the focal plane for an arbitrary ion-optical arrangement have been written. Programs can be written, using these functions and subroutines, to calculate the properties of particular ion-optical systems. Illustrative coding shows how such programs are written. (Author).
