"Revival" van het in 1989 door de Nederlandse Vacuümvereniging NEVAC uitgegeven boek 'Vacuümtechniek', in eerste instantie bedoeld om technici op MBO-niveau op te leiden voor het ontwikkelen van vacuümsystemen, het toepassen van technieken in vacuüm en het oplossen van problemen met vacuümapparatuur. Een boek met alle noodzakelijke informatie voor vacuümtechnici, maar zonder de door het middenkader als "ballast" ervaren verdiepingsstof, die het eveneens in een nieuwe editie verschenen '...

Geoengineering en Transhumanisme is het derde boek van Elana Freeland

en completeert het volledige beeld van waarvoor geoengineering vanaf het allereerste

begin, nu zo'n 30 jaar geleden, is bedoeld, namelijk het beheersen van de ionosfeer met

gepulseerde straling om zo een geïoniseerde atmosfeer te handhaven waarin

chemische stoffen en nanotechnologie voortdurend kunnen worden uitgestrooid door

straalvliegtuigen, drones en raketten met als excuus 'de strijd tegen

klimaatverandering'.

Advances in systems technology continue to ally systems and avionics, with aircraft support and flight systems ever increasingly controlled and monitored by electronics.

Practically all modern control systems are based upon microprocessors and complex microcontrollers that yield high performance and functionality. This volume focuses on the design of computer-controlled systems, featuring computational tools that can be applied directly and are explained with simple paper-and-pencil calculations. The use of computational tools is balanced by a strong emphasis on control system principles and ideas. Extensive pedagogical aids include worked examples, MATLAB ma...
