    Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Wind Power Structures in Marine Environments: Volume 2: Corrosion Protection Measures
    Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Wind Power Structures in Marine Environments: Volume 2: Corrosion Protection Measures offers the first comprehensive review on corrosion and corrosion protection of offshore wind power structures. The book extensively discusses corrosion phenomena and corrosion types in different marine corrosion zones, including the modeling of corrosion processes and interactions between corrosion and structural stability. The book addresses important design issues, namely materials selection relevant to their performance in marine environments, corrosion allowance, and constructive design. Active and passive corrosion protection measures are emphasized, with special sections on cathodic corrosion protection and the use of protective coatings. Seawater related issues associated with cathodic protection, such as calcareous deposit formation, hydrogen formation, and fouling, are discussed. With respect to protective coatings, the book considers, for the first time, complete loading scenarios, including corrosive loads, mechanical loads, and special loads, and covers a wide range of coating materials. Problems associated with fouling and bacterial-induced corrosion are extensively reviewed. The book closes with a chapter on recent developments in maintenance strategies, inspection techniques, and repair technologies. The book will be of special interest to materials scientists, materials developers, corrosion engineers, maintenance engineers, civil engineers, steel work designers, mechanical engineers, marine engineers, chemists, and coating specialists. Offshore wind power is an emerging renewable technology and a key factor for a cleaner environment. Offshore wind power structures are situated in a demanding and challenging marine environment. The structures are loaded in a complex way, including mechanical loads and corrosive loads. Corrosion is one of the major limiting factors to the reliability and performance of the technology. Maintenance and repair of corrosion protection systems are particularly laborious and costly.

    Control Your Home with Raspberry Pi (eBook, ePUB)
    Ever since the Raspberry Pi was introduced, it has been used by enthusiasts to automate their homes. The Raspberry Pi is a powerful computer in a small package, with lots of interfacing options to control various devices. This book shows you how you can automate your home with a Raspberry Pi. You'll learn how to use various wireless protocols for home automation, such as Bluetooth, 433.92 MHz radio waves, Z-Wave, and Zigbee. Soon you'll automate your home with Python, Node-RED, and Home Assistant, and you'll even be able to speak to your home automation system. All this is done securely, with a modular system, completely open-source, without relying on third-party services. You're in control of your home, and no one else. At the end of this book, you can install and configure your Raspberry Pi as a highly flexible home automation gateway for protocols of your choice, and link various services with MQTT to make it your own system. This DIY (do it yourself) approach is a bit more laborious than just installing an off-the-shelf home automation system, but in the process, you can learn a lot, and in the end, you know exactly what's running your house and how to tweak it. This is why you were interested in the Raspberry Pi in the first place, right? - Turn your Raspberry Pi into a reliable gateway for various home automation protocols. - Make your home automation setup reproducible with Docker Compose. Secure all your network communication with TLS. - Create a video surveillance system for your home. - Automate your home with Python, Node-RED, Home Assistant and AppDaemon. - Securely access your home automation dashboard from remote locations. - Use fully offline voice commands in your own language.

    The Ultimate Self-Discipline Library: How to Eliminate Excuses and Take Charge of Your Life!, Hörbuch, Digital, 649min
    Jim Whitaker, the first American to climb Mt. Everest, once said: “You can never conquer the mountain. You can only conquer yourself.” Yet, when the vast majority of people encounter obstacles to their goals, or difficulties on the journey of life, they tend to put their focus on the mountain - things that they cannot control, things outside of themselves - rather than turning inward, taking responsibility and conquering the self. That process of conquering the self is another name for that priceless quality of personality we call self-discipline. And, in this priceless collection of great ideas in sound from the world leader in personal development, Nightingale-Conant, you will be provided with all of the essential tools of self-discipline to conquer the self in every major arena of life. Welcome to The Ultimate Self-Discipline Library: How to Eliminate Excuses and Take Charge of Your Life! In this 10-volume library, you will hear some of the best ideas on self-discipline published by Nightingale-Conant over the past 50 years. You’ll learn: how to build self-disciplined habits, how to develop beliefs that support a self-disciplined life, how to be disciplined in several areas of your life like your goal achievement, time management, financial success, career success, and health and wellness. And you’ll learn how discipline can even help you savor the fruits of your labor - such as a lifestyle of simplicity and happiness. Best of all, you’ll discover that developing self-discipline need not be a laborious, tedious, and long process. Rather you’ll find that self-discipline can be an exciting adventure where you steer your life in the direction you want to go. And remember what William Feather once said: “If we don’t discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us.” Make the decision today to be the person who chooses to eliminate excuses and take charge of your life - so you can steer it to your own pre-determined destination. Throughout t Language: English.

    Meal Prep: 101 Amazing Meal Prep Recipes for Weight Loss and Clean Eating , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min
    We live in a world of perpetual motion, and even as the Earth keeps spinning, we also find ourselves spinning in the old familiar habits and routines of our lives. Many of these choices aren't the healthiest, but we find ourselves limited by the mere 24 hours we have throughout the course of the day to get things done. It is due to this lack of time that many of us reach for the greasy fast food, and the heavily processed microwaveable dinners. It's not necessarily because we prefer these substitutes, it's just that after a long day's work few of us have the time and energy to put anything better together. We settle for low quality foods because we figure that our busy lifestyles do not allow us much of a choice. But this is exactly where the idea of meal prepping comes in, because through the concept of prepping, the most laborious aspect of meal making ahead of time, you don't have to worry about it later. This is great for those who have free time on the weekend, but are swamped the rest of their work week. That way they can prep several meals - perhaps even their whole weeks worth of food - in advance. Then, when it comes time to eat in the early morning, or late evening rush, all they have to do is the bare minimum of work involved in cooking. In many cases, with all of the veggie chopping, meat cooking, and ingredient blending accounted for, all you really have to do is heat up the prepped meal in the microwave, and you are ready to go. But don't get me wrong, this is no microwave TV dinner, this is a full course meal that has simply been prepped well in advance. You are using the healthiest and cleanest of ingredients, saving yourself time and money in the process. So if you are interested in freeing yourself from the fast and junk food monotony of daily life, buy this audiobook, and learn to prep your meals way ahead of time! This audiobook covers: Implementation of Meal Prep Breakfast Meal Prepara ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matyas Job Gombos. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/093220/bk_acx0_093220_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
