Mirosław Nizielski, Krzysztof Urbaniec

Praca powstała jako rozszerzenie materiałów dydaktycznych przeznaczonych dla studentów kierunku studiów mechanika i budowa maszyn na Wydziale Budownictwa, Mechaniki i Petrochemii Politechniki Warszawskiej.   Zakres pracy obejmuje podstawową wiedzę przydatną w projektowaniu, budowie i eksploatacji aparatów o często spotykanych cechach konstrukcyjnych, z uwzględnieniem ich zastosowań w różnych procesach przemysłowych. Rozdziały poświęcone różnym typom aparatów nie zawierają kompletnego przeglądu aparatury przemysłowej, a jedynie zbiór przykładowych rozwiązań konstrukcyjnych. Są to rozwiązania aparatów stosowanych m.in. w energetyce, przemyśle chemicznym i spożywczym oraz instalacjach ochrony środowiska.   W stosunku do pierwszego wydania, z 2010 roku, w pracy: zaktualizowano dane o aktach prawnych i normach o istotnym znaczeniu dla projektowania i eksploatacji urządzeń przemysłowych, rozszerzono zakres tematyczny przeglądu rozwiązań konstrukcyjnych o informacje na temat bioreaktorów, uzupełniono informacje o filtrach do ciekłych zawiesin i piecach przemysłowych oraz zaktualizowano wykazy literatury.   Praca może być wykorzystana jako lektura uzupełniająca dla studentów różnych kierunków studiów, w tym chemii, inżynierii chemicznej i inżynierii środowiska.

Apartament w hotelu Wojna. Reportaż z Donbasu

Tomáš Forró

Donieck to miasto jak każde inne pod warunkiem że nie weźmie się pod uwagę wojny na jego przedmieściach, pustek na ulicach i strachu z tyłu głowy. Mamuka jako czternastoletni chłopiec brał udział w wojnie w Gruzji, po latach wylądował na froncie w Donbasie, gdzie strzelał do Rosjan z automatu, walczył z nimi wręcz i namierzał ich pozycje przed ostrzałem z moździerzy. Jura to przestępca, który trafił w szeregi prorosyjskich bojowników. Liza żyła na przedmieściach Ługańska. Kiedy wyjechała na kilka tygodni, żeby schronić się przed atakami separatystów, nie podejrzewała, że już tam nie wróci. Tomáš Forró opowiada o wojnie w Donbasie z samego serca konfliktu. Rozmawia z ludźmi po obu stronach frontu, niejednokrotnie naraża życie i potajemnie jeździ tam, dokąd nie zapuszcza się żaden dziennikarz. Wnikliwie opisuje sytuację polityczną na wschodzie Ukrainy i rosyjską taktykę wojny hybrydowej, w której walka konwencjonalna miesza się z partyzantką, a fakty z propagandą. Jego analizy są nieodłącznie związane z historiami ludzi, dla których wojna i jej skutki są bolesną codziennością. Wielka polityka przeplata się tutaj z małą, a losy żołnierzy z losami zwykłych rodzin, którym konflikt odebrał wszystko.

Apetyt na rzeczywistość. Między literaturą a dziennikarstwem - relacje interakcje perspektywy

Agnieszka Kłosińska-Nachin, Ewa Kobyłecka-Piwońska

Publikacja jest zbiorem artykułów eksplorujących relacje między dziennikarstwem a literaturą z różnych perspektyw i w różnych obszarach językowych. Wobec postępującej w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach kontaminacji między dziennikarstwem a literaturą autorzy tekstów pochylają się nad historycznymi związkami między badanymi dziedzinami (począwszy od starożytności do czasów najbardziej współczesnych), stawiają pytania dotyczące kontekstów kulturowych determinujących badaną ekspresję, przyglądają się typowym dla niej środkom wyrazu, wychwytują nieuniknioną hybrydyzację form oraz kreślą sylwetki konkretnych dziennikarzy-pisarzy. Wartością dodaną jest zderzenie perspektyw badawczych w odniesieniu do różnych kręgów kulturowych (hiszpański, latynoamerykański, francuski, bułgarski, polski, amerykański, angielski, germański, klasyczny, włoski). Takie ujęcie prowadzi do wieloaspektowej problematyzacji niezwykle aktualnego wymiaru współczesnej kultury. 

Apetyt na życie

Agnieszka Kazała, Halina Kowalczuk

W tej opowieści nikt nie zginął, nikt nie został zamordowany, nikt się nie zakochał i nie zmarniał z tęsknoty. To opowieść o tym, że warto żyć i cieszyć się każdą chwilą, którą możemy spędzić z kimś bliskim. Cieszyć się tym, co mamy i tym, co możemy przeżywać. Łapać każdą chwilę i rozkoszować się nią zanim zniknie. I chociaż postacie bohaterek nie do końca są prawdziwe, trochę wyimaginowane i trochę przekoloryzowane, to jednak podobne do każdego z nas, kto chciałby spróbować czasem czegoś innego, czegoś nowego. Czy to potrawy, czy podróży, czy rozmowy z drugim człowiekiem. Czasem brakuje nam odwagi, ale wystarczy szczery uśmiech, aby przełamać lody i wyjść naprzeciw prawdziwej przygodzie, jaką jest życie. I brać je z prawdziwym apetytem. Apetytem na życie. I smakować!

Apetyt turysty. O doświadczaniu świata w podróży

Anna Wieczorkiewicz

Książka poddaje refleksji siły kulturotwórcze, dzięki którym turystyka przybiera  zmienne społecznie i historycznie kształty, a mimo to wciąż pozostaje sobą. Opowiada o strategiach, do jakich jednostki oraz społeczności uciekają się, by nadać podróżniczym doświadczeniom znamię autentyczności. Ukazuje też tworzenie się  tkanki wyobrażeń, oczekiwań i przekonań, decydujących zarówno o tym, w jaki sposób podróżujemy, jak  i o sensach nadawanych temu o przedsięwzięciu. Zmierza do odpowiedzi na pytanie: na czym polega powiązanie zjawisk określanych mianem turystycznych z życiem społeczno-kulturowym.

Also, the behavioural and concurrency patterns are put forward explaining the communication between objects and multi-threaded programming paradigm respectively. We later on, deal with the issues regarding structuring of classes, instantiating or how to give a dynamic behaviour at a runtime, with the help of anti-patterns. We learn the basic OOPs principal in polymorphic and modular way to enhance its capability. Also, best practices of writing Apex code are explained to differentiate between the implementation of appropriate patterns. This book will also explain some unique patterns that could be applied to get around governor limits. By the end of this book, you will be a maestro in developing your applications on Force.com for Salesforce

Aphrodites Tränen

Hannah Fielding

Eine junge Archäologin gerät in ein Netz aus dunkler Besessenheit, Geheimnis und Verführung. Im antiken Griechenland bestand eine der zwölf Aufgaben von Herakles darin, einen goldenen Apfel aus dem Garten der Hesperiden zurückzubringen. Für die Archäologin Oriel Anderson scheint es ihr eigener goldener Apfel zu sein, als sie die Chance bekommt, sich einem Team griechischer Taucher auf der Insel Helios anzuschließen. Doch der Traum wird zum Albtraum, als sie den teuflischen Besitzer der Insel, Damian Lekkas, kennenlernt. Schockiert erinnert sie sich an eine romantische Nacht in den Armen eines Fremden vor sechs Jahren. Doch nun steht ein ganz anderer Mann vor ihr. Während sie die Schwerter kreuzen und Leidenschaften aufblühen, ist sich Oriel bewusst, dass böswillige Augen sie aus den Schatten heraus beobachten. Dunkle Gerüchte werden über die Familie Lekkas geflüstert. Welche Gefahren liegen in Helios verborgen, einem bezaubernden Land, in dem noch alte Rituale durchgeführt werden, um die Götter zu besänftigen, junge Männer ihr Leben in den tückischen Tiefen des Ionischen Meeres riskieren, und die brüchige Erde jeden Moment auseinanderbrechen kann? Wird Oriel die verborgenen Schätze finden, nach denen sie sucht? Oder wird Damians tragische Vergangenheit sie einholen und beide verschlingen?
