Scaling The Heights

'Scaling The Heights' is a non-fiction and Self-Help Book that illustrates the engineering of life influenced by various pillars and columns. The book throws adequate light on self-discovery, personal growth, and professional development. Discovering one's calling and interest, followed by commitment is the primary step in scaling any heights. Consumerism, sophisticated lifestyle, and corporate culture have impacted society and the way of thinking. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the existing realities to adapt to changes in life while scaling the heights. The vivid examples and stories make the book thought-provoking and fascinating for readers, professionals, students, teachers, and people from all walks of life and help them to scale the heights of life in the existing realities. Life is like scaling heights or climbing a ladder. It need not be essentially continuous climbing. There can be unforeseen withdrawals and quite often the impact of the sophisticated standard of living comes on the way as an obstruction. One needs to learn how to tackle them. One can use any suitable tool to scale the heights. Ladders are everywhere, and there are different forms of ladders to fit different needs. Some want to scale heights on their own, many want to do it at the expense of others and, some want to scale the heights to take others along, however, a few, scale the heights to serve. What is your purpose in scaling the heights?

A thorough introduction to solar physics based on recent spacecraft observations. The author introduces the solar corona and sets it in the context of basic plasma physics before moving on to discuss plasma instabilities and plasma heating processes. The latest results on coronal heating and radiation are presented. Spectacular phenomena such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections are described in detail, together with their potential effects on the Earth.

Wind Engineering 1983, Part C contains the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Wind Engineering, held in Gold Coast, Australia, on March 21-25, 1983 and in Auckland, New Zealand, on April 6-7, 1983 under the auspices of the International Association for Wind Engineering. The conference provided a forum for discussing topics related to wind energy and wind engineering, from internal pressures and wind-induced heat losses to wind characteristics, wind power systems, and the dispersion of gaseous pollutants. Comprised of 29 chapters, this volume begins with a detailed treatment of theory and experiment regarding the response characteristics of air pressure inside double-glazed windows. The effects of surrounding buildings on wind pressure distributions and ventilative heat losses for a single-family house are then examined, along with the nonlinearity of pressure differentials induced by wind and mechanical ventilation. Subsequent sections focus on topographic modeling of the dispersion of gaseous pollutants; the effect of wind environment on shelter; the effect of wind characteristics on structures; wind flow over hills and ridges; and wind power systems. This monograph will be of interest to students, practitioners, and researchers concerned with wind energy and wind engineering.
