Unlike a how-to manual for investigating aviation accidents, this book focuses on the essential knowledge and mindset required to conduct a safety investigation. It covers the various phases of an investigation, from gathering facts to formulating safety recommendations, with each chapter addressing a different relevant aspect. With the increasing complexity of investigations, critical thinking, logic, and speculation are essential skills for investigators to possess. This book delves into these topics, offering thought-provoking examples and questions to address the challenges of drawing conclusions and obtaining positive investigative outcomes. Its aim is to help students and readers interested in air safety develop the necessary mindset and knowledge to conduct an investigation. By the end of the book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in an air safety investigation.14732023-08-23T01:44:41Z2023-08-23T01:44:41ZBiomedical Engineering Lab Manual Volume 2<img alt="Read more about Biomedical Engineering Lab Manual Volume 2" title="Biomedical Engineering Lab Manual Volume 2 cover image" class="cover " width="704" height="917" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTQwOCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--6cef512eaec7f0afa7ac5a77cb246ec348a5e38f/Screenshot%202023-08-22%20at%208.35.02%20PM.png" />The lab manual was written as the second installment that coincides with two lab courses taught at the University of Oklahoma (BME3171, BME3181).

It is intended that this handbook provide the basic information on principles, fundamentals, and technical procedures in the subject matter areas relating to the powerplant rating. It is designed to aid students enrolled in a formal course of instruction, as well as the individual who is studying on his or her own. Since the knowledge requirements for the airframe and powerplant ratings closely parallel each other in some subject areas, the chapters which discuss fire protection systems and electrical systems contain some material which is also duplicated in the Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook–Airframe (FAA-H-8083-31B). This handbook contains an explanation of the units that make up each of the systems that bring fuel, air, and ignition together in an aircraft engine for combustion. It also contains information on engine construction features, lubrication systems, exhaust systems, cooling systems, cylinder removal and replacement, compression checks, and valve adjustments. Because there are so many different types of aircraft in use today, it is reasonable to expect that differences exist in airframe components and systems. To avoid undue repetition, the practice of using representative systems and units is carried out throughout the handbook. Subject matter treatment is from a generalized point of view and should be supplemented by reference to manufacturer's manuals or other textbooks if more detail is desired. This handbook is not intended to replace, substitute for, or supersede official regulations or the manufacturer’s instructions. Occasionally the word “must” or similar language is used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).14662023-08-18T21:11:49Z2023-09-08T18:06:03ZAviation Maintenance Technician Handbook – General (FAA-H-8083-30B)<img alt="Read more about Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook – General (FAA-H-8083-30B)" title="Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook – General (FAA-H-8083-30B) cover image" class="cover " width="625" height="814" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTMzNywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--7068699576fb84a974ff19be962f8b606a1c2875/Screenshot%202023-08-18%20at%204.02.37%20PM.png" />The Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook–General (FAA-H-8083-30B) was developed as one of a series of three handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification with airframe or powerplant ratings, or both. It is intended that this handbook will provide basic information on principles, fundamentals, and technical procedures in the subject matter areas common to both the airframe and powerplant ratings. Emphasis in this volume is on theory and methods of application. The handbook is designed to aid students enrolled in a formal course of instruction preparing for FAA certification as a maintenance technician as well as for current technicians who wish to improve their knowledge. This volume contains information on mathematics, aircraft drawings, weight and balance, aircraft materials, processes and tools, physics, electricity, inspection, ground operations, and FAA regulations governing the certification and work of maintenance technicians. New to this volume is a section addressing how successful aviation maintenance technicians incorporate knowledge and awareness of ethics, professionalism and human factors in the field14372023-06-09T16:27:13Z2023-09-18T20:08:27ZCrawford Automation – A Guided Application of Structured Problem Solving<img alt="Read more about Crawford Automation – A Guided Application of Structured Problem Solving" title="Crawford Automation – A Guided Application of Structured Problem Solving cover image" class="cover " width="768" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzQ0NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--d17187b1c620322df7ad051245fae457c27ac9ea/crawford-case-cover-1-12-1-768x1024%20(1).png" />This is a multimedia-enabled case in which students will be guided, by an industry expert, to apply structured problem-solving that addresses a typical supply chain problem, missing parts. What first appears as the issue may be a symptom of a root cause(s). The case utilizes videos, data files for analytics, audio recording, and videogame-style exercises to find the missing box of parts. The case is a collaboration between the Conestoga Centre for Supply Chain Innovation and ATS Automation and utilizes the ATS Business Model (ABM) approach to identifying and solving root causes. The case can be used in any Continuous Improvement course or program for either Business or Engineering students.13702023-03-13T17:53:13Z2023-09-07T04:51:59ZIntroduction to Systems Biology: Workbook for Flipped-Classroom Teaching<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Systems Biology: Workbook for Flipped-Classroom Teaching" title="Introduction to Systems Biology: Workbook for Flipped-Classroom Teaching cover image" class="cover " width="1876" height="2430" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDYxNSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--630187190d84d0b85709381828819784fcb8b7a6/obp.0291.jpg" />This book is an introduction to the language of systems biology, which is spoken among many disciplines, from biology to engineering. Authors Thomas Sauter and Marco Albrecht draw on a multidisciplinary background and evidence-based learning to facilitate the understanding of biochemical networks, metabolic modeling and system dynamics. Their pedagogic approach briefly highlights core ideas of concepts in a broader interdisciplinary framework to guide a more effective deep dive thereafter. The learning journey starts with the purity of mathematical concepts, reveals its power to connect biological entities in structure and time, and finally introduces physics concepts to tightly align abstraction with reality. This workbook is all about self-paced learning, supports the flipped-classroom concept, and kick-starts with scientific evidence on studying. Each chapter comes with links to external YouTube videos, learning checklists, and Integrated real-world examples to gain confidence in thinking across scientific perspectives. The result is an integrated approach that opens a line of communication between theory and application, enabling readers to actively learn as they read. This overview of capturing and analyzing the behavior of biological systems will interest adherers of systems biology and network analysis, as well as related fields such as bioinformatics, biology, cybernetics, and data science.12022023-03-10T14:55:37Z2024-01-22T14:52:41ZIntroduction to Mechanical Engineering Design<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design" title="Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDU5NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--076ccfe0bae8459534e669fbfadeea4b79b3f032/Baughman-2022-IntroMechEngDes-350x453.png" />A collection of readings and exercises aligned with the course, ME 270, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design, at Iowa State University.

Hoy en día, a pesar de que menos de una decena es conocida por la población en general, hay cientos de sistemas operativos en uso y bajo un desarrollo activo. Cada uno de ellos persigue distintos fines, sea por la arquitectura o la capacidad de los equipos en que se ejecutará, características específicas que implementa, o persigue atraer un segmento distinto de la población. Todos ellos, sin embargo, realizan las mismas operaciones básicas, parten de los mismos fundamentos. Este libro, diseñado para servir como bibliografía para un curso de Sistemas Operativos para licenciatura, presenta las principales áreas en que se divide el trabajo de un sistema operativo. El libro está escrito nativamente en español, salvando las inconveniencias en que muchas veces incurren las traducciones técnicas. Los autores (uno mexicano, dos argentinos y uno colombiano) procuraron que el lenguaje y los términos empleados resulten lo más neutros y universales a la región latinoamericana.13372023-02-13T18:29:58Z2024-01-22T14:52:39ZAviation Weather Handbook FAA-H-8083-28<img alt="Read more about Aviation Weather Handbook FAA-H-8083-28" title="Aviation Weather Handbook FAA-H-8083-28 cover image" class="cover " width="542" height="698" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDUzOSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--51ce8298a625bf38194997a30a9d6188670131b8/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-13%20at%2012.29.02%20PM.png" />This handbook describes the United States (U.S.) aviation weather program, products, and services. It also documents weather theory and its application to aviation. The objective of this handbook is to help the pilot and operator understand the basics of weather, aviation weather hazards, and aviation weather products. The information included is not prescriptive. Furthermore, the guidance and recommendations in this handbook are not legally binding in their own right and will not be relied upon by the FAA as a separate basis for affirmative enforcement action or other administrative penalty. Conformity with the guidance and recommendations is voluntary only and nonconformity will not affect rights and obligations under existing statutes and regulations. The handbook is a consolidated source of weather information and, in some cases, best practices to assist with providing safety for flight. The visualization of the products discussed in this handbook has evolved over the past decade with the use of internet websites. The use of static black and white depictions of aviation forecasts is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Today’s websites provide the products in color and offer options to select and overlay multiple pieces of weather information.
