Building Your Own Street Rod Made Easy


Book Description

COLOR VERSION, Large Print. This book is a guide for building a street rod. It includes planning, ordering parts, title & registration, building instructions & procedures, and all aspects of the project from start to finish. Includes all the resources and their contact information. This book as the title says, "Made Easy," is simple, easy to understand and gives the builder credit for knowing the basic tools, how to use measuring devices, shop safety, etc. Other "how to build" books are long, too complicated, wordy, give more information than needed and don't list all the resources for the build. It's written in large easy to read print. The author has been building street rods and hot rods for 23 years. Also, he is an FAA licensed aircraft mechanic, commercial pilot, and has degree's in Aeronautical Technology, Human Resource Management and Social Psychology.




The entry into the RC tank modelling


Book Description

The author Gerhard O. W. Fischer shows you not only, how to build tank models from construction kits, but also, how to convert tank models to a completely different type of tank, because there is no construction kit of the desired tank type. Furthermore, it presents some large models and very special tank models, all built by experts in this field of model building. The reader will find many suggestions and hints for building your own model and a lot of information about the large on the large originals. This book is ideally suited as a beginner into a new league of tank modeling. From the content: • The role models of our RC models • RC-tank-finished models of the company robbe: Leopard 2A6, Tiger and T 72 • RC tank ready-made models of the company Revell: Leopard 2A5 and M1A1 • RC kit models: M 26 Pershing and T34-85 • Bundeswehr truck with four-wheel drive • Tracked vehicle according to own design • Kit model conversions: Pionierpanzer 3 Kodiak, • Tank fast bridge 2, Flakpanzer Gepard, Bergepanzer 3 Büffel, Leopard 1A2 main battle tank and a recovery tank • From kit model to large-scale model: Leopard 1A4 and King Tiger • The special model: tank fast bridge PSB 2, transport tank BV 206, amphibious 6-wheel tank AMX 10 and transport tank Fuchs • Figures of tank crews • Manufacturer's notes and list of sources

Fundamentals of Technical Rescue


Book Description

Learn essential technical rescue know-how with Fundamentals of Technical Rescue! Beginning with an introduction to technical rescue and progressing through discussions of tools and equipment, incident management, and conducting search operations, this text will introduce students to all aspects of the rescue process and the various environments in which they may be carried out. Fundamentals of Technical Rescue presents in-depth coverage of structural collapse, confined space and trench rescue, vehicle rescue, and water and wilderness rescue to allow students to approach any rescue situation confidently. Fundamentals of Technical Rescue includes coverage of both the awareness level requirements found in the 2009 Edition of NFPA 1670, Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents and Level I requirements found in the 2008 Edition of NFPA 1006, Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications.




Building Decision Support Systems


Book Description

This book introduces readers to the principles of intelligent decision support systems (IDSS) and how to build them with MiniZinc, a free, open-source constraint programming language. Managing an IDSS project requires an understanding of the system’s design and behaviour. The book enables readers to appreciate what “combinatorial” optimisation problems are, and how modelling a problem provides the basis for solving it. It also presents the main algorithms for tackling decision support problems, discusses their strengths and weaknesses, and explores ways of achieving the necessary scalability when problems become big. Moreover, to support the learning process it allows readers to try out the ideas described in the text on model applications and puzzles. The book highlights the potential benefits of deploying an IDSS. It enables users to recognise the key risks involved and identify which techniques can be applied to minimise them, and to understand the decision support technology sufficiently in order to manage or monitor an IDSS project. It also helps readers distinguish between good sense and mere jargon when dealing with anyone involved in an IDSS project, from sales personnel to software implementers. As such it especially appeals to graduate students and advanced professionals who need to learn how to build an IDSS and to tackle the problems on the way.
