| Title | Oscillators and Oscillatory Signals from Smooth to Discontinuous : Geometrical, Algebraic, and Physical Nature |
| Author(s) | Pilipchuk, Valery N |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2023. |
| Description | XII, 456 p. 169 illus., 89 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This updated and enriched new edition maintains its complementarity principle in which the subgroup of rotations, harmonic oscillators, and the conventional complex analysis generate linear and weakly nonlinear approaches, whereas translations and reflections, impact oscillators, and hyperbolic Clifford???s algebras, give rise to the essentially nonlinear ???quasi-impact??? methodology based on the idea of non-smooth temporal substitutions. In the years since ???Nonlinear Dynamics: Between Linear and Impact Limits,??? the previous edition of this book, was published, due to a widening area of applications, a deeper insight into the matter has emerged leading to the rudimentary algebraic view on the very existence of the complementary smooth and non-smooth base systems as those associated with two different signs of the algebraic equation j2 =?? 1. This edition further includes an overview of applications found in the literature after the publication of first edition, and new physical examples illustrating both theoretical statements and constructive analytical tools. Presents an improved picture of non-smooth temporal transformations using impact systems as a basis for various analyses; Includes new examples of recent applications for problems in energy absorption/harvesting and resonance interactions; Describes a complementarity principle with a range of applications from smooth to discontinuous oscillatory processes |

| Title | The Craft of Scientific Films : How to Make Videos of Your Laboratory, Research, or Technical Projects |
| Author(s) | Murphy, Lauren;Alley, Michael |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2023. |
| Description | XIV, 211 p. 106 illus., 96 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book, the first of its kind, helps scientists and engineers of all stages and disciplines share their work in a new way???with movies. Today, much of scientific communication is embedded in papers and presentations, but these documents don???t often extend outside of a specific academic field. By adding movies as a medium of communication, scientists and engineers can better communicate with their colleagues while also increasing their reach to students, professors, peers, potential collaborators, and the public. Scientific films help translate complex technical topics into more accessible and consumable messages. By following Lauren Murphy???s filmmaking formula ??? planning, shooting, and editing ??? readers will create their very own scientific films that look professional and polished. Using tools as simple as a smartphone, readers can develop short, personal stories with no cost or experience needed. This book will guide readers through all steps of the movie making process to a finished product. Readers will evolve their creative thinking skills and use their movies to improve classroom presentations, network across student organizations, present at conferences, recruit students for their labs, secure grant money, and more. Adding a movie to your body of work can be the tool that sparks interest in audiences to learn more???driving traffic to your publications, research projects, and websites. This book will help you develop new skills to become a better communicator while spreading your ideas and research to new audiences |

| Title | Can Science Be Witty? : Science Communication Between Critique and Cabaret |
| Author(s) | Weitze, Marc-Denis;Goede, Wolfgang Chr;Heckl, Wolfgang M |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2023. |
| Description | IX, 244 p. 31 illus., 28 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Can Science Be Witty? takes a close look at an element of modern science communication that is as innovative as it is promising for the future: comedy! Readers are guided through lucidly presented academic theory as well as exciting hands-on and best-practice examples from renowned practitioners and cabaret artists: - What do sheep cheese and car tires have in common? - Can laughter tear down walls? - How does "Die Anstalt" work? - How does magic create knowledge? - Is there humor in museums? - Serving suggestion for the Holy Spirit - Dictatorship of stupidity - And much more! But it's not all just funny. Comedy can also take away some of the biting sharpness of criticism, making it digestible, even palatable, for the addressees. Can Science Be Witty? navigates between critique and cabaret and deals with comedy in various forms from different perspectives. 22 contributions show how the results of science, researchand technology can be brought to the general public in new ways. In particular, they also demonstrate how humour can be used as a critical and questioning force - valuable for all types of communication and helpful in making them more witty in the future. The translation was done with the help of the artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The text has subsequently been revised further by the original editors in order to refine the work stylistically. |

| Title | Spacelab Payloads : Prepping Experiments and Hardware for Flight |
| Author(s) | Haddad, Michael E;Shayler, David J |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2022. |
| Description | XXX, 520 p. 105 illus., 82 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Spacelab was a reusable laboratory facility that was flown on the Space Shuttle from 1983 to 1998. Completing 22 major missions and contributing to many other NASA goals, Spacelab stands as one of the Shuttle program???s most resounding successes. The system comprised multiple components, including a pressurized laboratory module, unpressurized carrier pallets and other related hardware, all housed in the Shuttle???s Payload Bay and crew compartment. But how did all those varied components actually come together? The answer is the little-known ???Level-IV???, a team of managers and engineers who molded separate elements of hardware into cohesive and safe payloads. Without the dedication and drive of the Level-IV team, the huge successes of the Spacelab missions would not have been achieved. This is their story. You will learn herein how Level-IV was formed, who was involved, and the accomplishments, setbacks and problems faced along the way, in a story that blends both the professional and personal sides of Level-IV operations and its legacy. Upon reading this book, you will gain a new appreciation for this crucial team and understand what is meant when you hear the term ???Level-IV??? |

| Title | Ingenious Principles of Nature : Do We Reckon With Nature Or Nature Reckons With Us |
| Author(s) | K??ppers, E. W. Udo |
| Publication | Wiesbaden, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden, 2022. |
| Description | XXI, 511 p. 1 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | How can the book's title be paraphrased in one succinct sentence? By Arthur Schopenhauer's handed-down statement: "Any stupid boy can crush a beetle, but not all the professors in the world can make one." Animals and plants of interconnected nature have learned over billions of years, through perfect adaptive adjustment to their environment, to achieve peak performance for their survival, whose effective and sustainable principles are unparalleled in our technology-infused environment. This immeasurably rich natural treasure trove of materials, tools, techniques, processes and organizations can help to steer the misguided development strategies of us humans, which in addition to extraordinary technical advances also produce extraordinary catastrophic consequential problems, into forward-looking paths capable of living and surviving. In view of the accumulation of damaged nature by us humans, both of whose existence is inextricably linked, new sustainable development strategies are inevitable. These can only be done with and not against nature. It will be a necessary struggle for survival against the "masters of humanity", against their pernicious, political and economic treatment of nature. which affects us all. From the contents - The inexhaustible wealth of evolutionary adaptive solutions - 22 evolutionary principles from fauna and flora - Operational principles of nature - Beyond the exhaustive wealth of technospheric maximum solutions - Bio-technospheric transformations - 30 workable resolutions - Konrad Lorenz "Eight Deadly Sins of Civilized Mankind" - Noam Chomsky's battle against the "masters of humanity" About the author As an engineering scientist and bionic scientist, Dr.-Ing. E. W. Udo K??ppers devotes his interest preferably to the complex border area between nature and technology. Associated with this are systemic thinking and acting, highly mindful organizational processes, accompanied by practical impact network methods. Besides activities in his working group ??K??ppers-Systemdenken?? (since 2000) he taught at different universities with the core module Interdisciplinary Competence until 2021. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation |

| Title | X-Planes from the X-1 to the X-60 : An Illustrated History |
| Author(s) | Gorn, Michael H;De Chiara, Giuseppe |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XX, 163 p. 90 illus., 87 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | For the past 75 years, the U.S. government has invested significant time and money into advanced aerospace research, as evidenced by its many experimental X-plane aircraft and rockets. NASA's X-Planes asks a simple question: What have we gained from it all? To answer this question, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the X-plane???s long history, from the 1946 X-1 to the modern X-60. The chapters describe not just the technological evolution of these models, but also the wider story of politics, federal budgets, and inter-agency rivalries surrounding them. The book is organized into two sections, with the first covering the operational X-planes that symbolized the Cold War struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R, and the second section surveying post-Cold War aircraft and spacecraft. Featuring dozens of original illustrations of X-plane cross-sections, in-flight profiles, close-ups, and more, this book will educate general readers and specialists alike |

| Title | The Space Shuttle: An Experimental Flying Machine : Foreword by Former Space Shuttle Commander Sid Gutierrez |
| Author(s) | Evans, Ben |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XI, 291 p. 102 illus., 99 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book explains how the achievements of the Space Shuttle, the world???s first reusable manned spacecraft, were built on the foundation of countless technical challenges. Through thick and thin, the Space Shuttle remained the centerpiece of the American human spaceflight program for three decades. In addition to deploying satellites, planetary probes and, of course, the Hubble Space Telescope, it delivered astronauts to the Mir space station and assembled and sustained the International Space Station. Yet the path to these incredible achievements was never an easy one, with some obstacles resulting in the loss of life and other major consequences that plagued the fleet throughout its operational career. The book adopts a challenge-by-challenge approach, focusing on specific difficulties and how (if at all) they were fully overcome. Going beyond the technical issues, it relates the human stories of each incident and how changes were effected in order to make the shuttle an exceptionally safer ??? though still experimental ??? flying machine |
