This book is intended for an introductory undergraduate course in control systems for engineering students. This text presents a comprehensive analysis and design of continuous-time control systems and includes more than introductory material for discrete systems with adequate guidelines to extend the results derived in connection continuous-time systems. The prerequisite for the reader is some elementary knowledge of differential equations, vector-matrix analysis and mechanics. Transfer function and state variable models of typical components and subsystems have been derived in the Appendix at the end of the book.

Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics is a textbook for advanced undergraduate and first year graduate students in mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering. The book emphasizes understanding CFD through physical principles and examples. The author follows a consistent philosophy of control volume formulation of the fundamental laws of fluid motion and energy transfer, and introduces a novel notion of smoothing pressure correction for solution of flow equations on collocated grids within the framework of the well-known SIMPLE algorithm.

Introduction to Mechatronics and Measurement Systems provides comprehensive and accessible coverage of the evolving field of mechatronics for mechanical, electrical and aerospace engineering majors. The author presents a concise review of electrical circuits, solid-state devices, digital circuits, and motors- all of which are fundamental to understanding mechatronic systems.

In this series of lessons, we will be taking an introductory look at RealFlow 2012 and many of the key features of this robust fluid simulation software. It is important to develop good workflow habits early in your RealFlow education, so we will start by learning the importance of properly setting up your RealFlow projects as well as how to efficiently move around within the RealFlow interface.

In this course we'll cover a wide range of topics in order to get you quickly up to speed using 3ds Max 2011.

Description : Unlike most other how-to art books, the precise focus of this series-s tuition benefits both the beginner and those with more experience. Each book takes the aspiring artist through a series of projects based on a specific medium or a favourite subject of their choice. This book focuses on all the materials used for drawing - from pencils, pen and ink, and watercolour - then looks at the techniques of drawing, layout and composition, before applying these skills to buildings, interiors, landscape, movement, and portraiture.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) has revolutionized telecommunications, and has become an integral part of the networking infrastructure.
This introductory well-structured text on ATM networks describes their development, architecture, congestion control, deployment, and signalling in an intuitive, accessible way. It covers extensive background information and includes exercises that support the explanations throughout the book.

This subject is aimed at students with little or no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python™ programming language.

In this DVD, a professional tatto artist takes you through the steps necessary to create a color tattoo. he demonstrates how to map out an area of skin for the tattoo to prepare for the design stage. He shows how to design a tattoo using pencil and pen drawings that are scanned into a computer and finalized using Photoshop and Illustrator. then he explains how to properly set up a sanitary tattoo station, gives an in-depth overview of all the equipment needed for the tattoo procedure, and shows how to set up and mix different shades of color. Starting the outline process, he covers a variety of line work such as gray line, basic outlining and sculpting lines from thick to thin. He then moves into his techniques for black shading and color blending to give the work a smooth airbrushed look. This informative DVD is packed full of information that will help get beginning tattoo artists over the hurdles that they often face in their first color tattoos.
