The Five Criteria of Disability Used by the 1987 National Sampling Survey of the Disabled --Appendix B --References --IndexBodies of Difference chronicles the compelling story of disability's emergence as an area of significant sociopolitical activity in contemporary China. Keenly attentive to how bodies are embedded in discourse, history, and personal exigency, Matthew Kohrman details ways that disability became a fount for the production of institutions and identities across the Chinese landscape during the final decades of the twentieth century. He looks closely at the creation of the China Disabled Persons' Federation and the lives of numerous individuals, among them Deng Pufang, son of China's Communist leader Deng Xiaoping.BiopoliticsChinaPeople with disabilitiesChinaElectronic books.BiopoliticsPeople with disabilities362.4/0951Kohrman Matthewauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1035574DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910450084703321Bodies of Difference2455337UNINA02580nam 2200541 a 450 991043811590332120200520144314.01-283-69716-51-4614-4596-510.1007/978-1-4614-4596-8(CKB)2670000000277726(EBL)1030774(OCoLC)813219077(SSID)ssj0000796419(PQKBManifestationID)11492170(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000796419(PQKBWorkID)10789398(PQKB)10216905(DE-He213)978-1-4614-4596-8(MiAaPQ)EBC1030774(PPN)168300729(EXLCZ)99267000000027772620121018d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrModeling ships and space craft the science and art of mastering the oceans and sky /Gina Hagler1st ed. 2013.New York Springer20131 online resource (249 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4614-4595-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.pt. I. Fluid dynamics in action -- pt. II. Evolution of theory -- pt. III. Scale model testing begins -- pt. IV. Model testing today.Modeling Ships and Space Craft: The Science and Art of Mastering the Oceans and Sky begins with the theories of Aristotle and Archimedes, moving on to examine the work of Froude and Taylor, the early aviators and the Wright Brothers, Goddard and the other rocket men, and the computational fluid dynamic models of our time. It examines the ways each used fluid dynamic principles in the design of their vessels. In the process, this book covers the history of hydrodynamic (aero and fluid) theory and its progression – with some very accessible science examples – including seminal theories. Hydrodynamic principles in action are also explored with examples from nature and the works of man. This is a book for anyone interested in the history of technology – specifically the methods and science behind the use of scale models and hydrodynamic principles in the marine and aeronautical designs of today.Fluid dynamicsFluid dynamics.623.8201Hagler Gina935774MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438115903321Modeling Ships and Space Craft2108084UNINA
