This is a story of a poor young girl whose quest to travel landed her in a place of grandeur and affluence and enjoyed it to the fullest. As life would have it, her dreams interrupted by circumstances she had to face alone. Ultimately a life of godliness has been fulfilled as she leaves her earthly existence.
This book focuses on process simulation in chemical engineering with a numerical algorithm based on the moving finite element method (MFEM). It offers new tools and approaches for modeling and simulating time-dependent problems with moving fronts and with moving boundaries described by time-dependent convection-reaction-diffusion partial differential equations in one or two-dimensional space domains. It provides a comprehensive account of the development of the moving finite element method, describing and analyzing the theoretical and practical aspects of the MFEM for models in 1D, 1D+1d, and 2D space domains. Mathematical models are universal, and the book reviews successful applications of MFEM to solve engineering problems. It covers a broad range of application algorithm to engineering problems, namely on separation and reaction processes presenting and discussing relevant numerical applications of the moving finite element method derived from real-world process simulations.
This work focuses on the Limited Information Shared Control and its controller design using potential games. Through the developed systematic controller design, the experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of this concept compared to traditional manual and non-cooperative control approaches in the application of large vehicle manipulators.
Linear mathematical assumptions for procedures in other branches of engineering have little relevance for geoengineering, which must accommodate non-linear behaviors. Contributors to eight papers apply the breakthrough numerical modeling Distinct Element Method (Cundall, late 1960s). The design philosophy for structures or excavations in geotechnical engineering is different from that followed for fabricated materials like steel and concrete. The designer has little data both with regard to geological weaknesses and strength and deformation characteristics of materials before finalizing the designs. Also these characteristics vary from place to place. In-situ stresses due to gravity and tect...

"This book explores the religious lives of Catholic women in Vila Branca (a pseudonym), a small town on the north coast of Portugal. While the conventional picture of religious women in southern Europe has tended to see women as subdued and dominated by ideas about their sinful nature, Vila Branca women present themselves in different terms. With a focus on women's own thoughts and actions in the religious domain, this book explores the ways in which religion is meaningful to women." "This study deals with various facets of Catholic religious life, such as the cult of the saints and the Virgin Mary; death-related practices; the material culture of Catholicism; pilgrimmage journeys; and the ambiguous relationship between women and priests. The author argues that in order to understand the processes that underlie these religious phenomena, it is crucial to understand the actual role of women."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Packer is told from the point-of-view of Shane, a young Westie who works all night... packing boxes. We meet him at work but, being the charmer that he is, he soon gets talking and introduces us to Joyce, his alcoholic mother; Brad, his best mate and... Pina, daughter of the Niueans who move in next door. Then he's off on a hell-ride of a night in Auckland - a ride which will change him forever.
