Sommario/riassunto |
|
Born of the Sun records the lives of seven young Australians who achieved widespread fame in their fields of endeavour between 1866 and 1933— rowing, rugby, swimming, boxing, cricket, medical research and on the battlefield —and who all died in the plenitude of youth. In doing so, it offers fascinating insights into Australia's coming of age. This lively account illuminates the lives of Harry Searle, Lonnie Spragg, Barney Kieran, Les Darcy, Archie Jackson, Professor John Hunter and Lieutenant Eric Edgerton. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Practical Process Control (loop tuning and troubleshooting). This book differs from others on the market in several respects. First, the presentation is totally in the time domain (the word ""LaPlace"" is nowhere to be found). The focus of the book is actually troubleshooting, not tuning. If a controller is ""tunable"", the tuning procedure will be straightforward and uneventful. But if a loop is ""untunable"", difficulties will be experienced, usually early in the tuning effort. The nature of any difficulty provides valuable clues to what is rendering the loop ""untunable"". For example, if r |
