In addition to sunshine, the Sun emits about one trillion tons of ionized hydrogen per second into the interplanetary space, a phenomenon known as solar wind. This book systematizes the knowledge of the solar wind acceleration region, which is, figuratively speaking, the space weather "kitchen" similar to the Mexican gulf (where the Gulf Stream originates). The processing of unique scientific information about the solar wind at heliocentric distances up to three solar radii obtained from receiving antennas directed almost to the Sun (a challenging technical task itself) during telecommunication sessions with "Mars-2", "Mars-4", "Venera-10", "Venera-15", and "Venera-16" spacecraft, along with original approaches for modelling the solar wind acceleration region, underlie the factual basis for the book.

"The purpose of this book is to educate readers on the proper utilization of Velocity-Based Training--including the data that it provides--and how that data can best be utilized to program for improved athletic performance. This book is intended for strength and conditioning coaches and personal trainers who work with athletes of all levels, as well as sport coaches and athletes who understand VBT concepts and can apply the guidelines to their own programs"--

Throughout its length from London to Glasgow via Crewe and Carlisle, with a loop through the West Midlands and spurs to Holyhead, Liverpool and Manchester, the West Coast Main Line has consistently provided interest for those many with more than a passing interest in trains and travel.This book outlines the history of the route, its physical characteristics and sets the scene for the various passenger and goods traffic flows that sustained it; it then details the arrangements for motive power and train working through the era of change that was 1957 to 1963.The level of interest - as evidenced daily by the presence at the lineside of hordes of young spotters and other observers - was particularly high at that time as processions of trains hauled by fine express passenger locomotives and those more suited to other traffic passed by. The book also goes 'behind the scenes' to provide insights into the daily and seasonal challenges of managing that section of a wider railway network, as directed by the varying terms of relevant legislation, and a government increasingly concerned to shape the railways for the changing needs of the public, industry and the economy.The book will be of particular interest to those who simply recall those days by the lineside, those with an interest in detailed arrangements to provide and maintain suitable motive power, those with an interest in how the railway served the needs of the nation and modelers who seek information.The book is illustrated with color and monochrome images and supported by maps.

In der musikalischen Aufführungspraxis ist es normalerweise der Mensch, der das Tempo erzeugt. Innerlich ein Tempo zu etablieren und es an das der mitmusizierenden Personen anzugleichen, ist eine grundlegende musikalische Fähigkeit. Was bedeutet es also, wenn das Tempo von einem technischen System vorgegeben wird? Philippe Kocher unterzieht diese besondere Art der Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion einer musikgeschichtlichen, technikgeschichtlichen und medienarchäologischen Betrachtung. Darüber hinaus entwickelt er innerhalb seiner wissenschaftlich-künstlerischen Studie ein eigenes System zur technikgestützten Tempovermittlung und beschreibt dessen Einsatz in der Praxis.
