MAN B&W DIESEL - K90MC-C6-TII Project Guide - Camshaft Controlled Two Stroke Engines.

This book written by famous scientist and professional astronomer J. B. Zirker is dedicated to the ocean waves, including tsunamis, stormy ocean waves and ripples, and the book is aimed at any interested persons including surfers and ocean scientists. The book is very hard to put down. It presents a very fascinating reading for them and is considered a great one for the oceanography classes, especially at undergraduate level.

The author has provided an up-to-date and quite comprehensive account of the matters whose complexity is commonly very hardly appreciated by non-professionals in the field and non-scientists. The deep insights, comprehensive narratives and historic perspectives included to the publication do not contain any single equation and presence of graphics has been kept to a minimum, making the volume very reader-friendly and being the reason why the title has been recognized as a very remarkable achievement.

We would say that this book may already be used as a standard textbook for the ocean as well as weather forecasters, scientists, plus climate modelers and students. The author has applied a very fresh look to the ocean waves and also provided the theory with numerous illustrations to make the content more accessible for everyone.

In this book the author tells us the biography of a truly remarkable boat and the story of the man who built this boat. It is much more than just a tale of technology - we would rather consider this publication a profile of imagination and hubris of a legendary enterpreneur. The man to whom this book is dedicated, has a dream and that dream was not to get very rich or acquire power.

Tom Perkins was one of the creators of the world famous Silicon Valley and, obviously, already possessed all of that wealth, being a one of the most successful venture capitalists. As he hit his seventies, this man decided to build the larges, highest-tech, fastest and, by the way, riskiest sailboat ever - and called it the perfect yacht. The yacht would be as long as the soccer field, about 42 feet wide, have three masts each having a height of a twenty-storied building... The Maltese Falcon, the world's biggest privately-owned sailing ship.

This book is a really exhilarating account of how this yacht was created. It is indeed revealing and very engaging. The ones who read it will for sure do that with a great deal of interest and will not get disappointed. This eminent person and his boat have been examined in this publication with precision and insight.

This "Marine Protected Areas: Tools for Sustaining Ocean Ecosystems" is a report produced by OSB (Ocean Studies Board) representing the culmination of a long, two-year examination of this approach to marine resource management.

This publication is aimed to be a sound basis for all future efforts to implement and design protected areas and marine reserves as it provides necessary recommendations about how to use the knowledge we possess and also a description of what we need to improve the effectiveness of it.

The authors of the volume have performed the comparison of the traditional approaches used in case of the marine resource management to augment the associated strategies with the protected area systems and are actually arguing that the proper implementation of the marine protected areas shall definitely be adaptive and incremental...

This small and compact vocabulary comprises thirteen pages covering the main areas of the shipping and offshore industry, such as types of marine ships, capacity measurements, offshore terminology, offshore support and supply vessels, general shipping terms, geographical abbreviations, types of affreightment, abbreviations, worldscale.

Bearing in mind the numerous topics addressed by the person who compiled the vocabulary, we may say that the booklet will definitely be of some use by persons working offshore, on board ships and offshore installations as crew members or service specialists; however, the information provided in some sections may be helpful even to the office personnel dealing with preparation of the purchase orders, various reports, requests, communications and other activities that may require proper and thorough understanding of the maritime/offshore industry terminology, including ship nomenclature, abbreviations used etc.

Moreover, the knowledge of the terms is also vitally important for port state control inspectors, marine authority officers, marine surveyors and all other specialists involved in the shipping and offshore industry. We would recommend to download this small vocabulary and keep it.

The Splicing Guide released by the well known manufacturer of ropes. It contains useful and interesting information on splicing, single and double braids, braided safety blue and hivee eye splice. tapering the cover on high-tech ropes, mega plait to chain eye splice, three strand, etc.

You will find all information and instructions required for correct splicing, such as the general tips, whipping and tools that are required to make a particular splice, handling ropes and used rope, fid and dimensions of the ropes. The detailed step by step instructions contained in the book will make the process of splicing ropes easily understandable even to the complete novices, taking into account the number and informativeness of the figures and images supplementing the text instructions.

The present official ITU Manual has been released in accordance with the Radio Regulations, Article 20 and takes into consideration all results obtained in the course of the relevant technical studies conducted in the ITU-R. This set consists of two separate volumes. The first volume opens with the introductory information,, followed by the detailed system overview of the GMDSS describing the working principles, communication services. provision of MSI and major sub-systems.

The scope of main activities and responsibilities is also addressed here together with the general rules, radio- and operational procedures established within the system, proper use of the radio frequencies for alerting, requirements to the radio personnel, station identification, other procedures and related publication. The appendix contains the terminology and definitions, technical characteristics, tables of allocation, glossary and abbreviations.

The second volume of the set is intended to provide the extracts from the numerous regulatory documents directly associated with the maritime operations, such as the ITU Convention. Among the issues addressed in this part there are responsibilities, suspension of services, infringements, harmful interference, distress calls/messages, monetary unit, secret language and so many other relevant and important information.

This training software was developed by Deimos long time ago; note, however, that it still remains absolutely actual and helpful for all people who are studying marine engineering and require some visual training in addition to the information they receive from the books and during the lectures.

This program could be used by the marine engineering students for simulation of the different situations that commonly happen in the course of the operation of HFO/DO, i.e. heavy fuel oil and diesel oil preparation systems installed on board ships.

The program is fully compatible with all Windows operation systems, including Windows 7. It will note require any installation codes, activations, sms etc. and was checked for viruses, trojans and other malware. Just use it and get familiarized with the operation of the ship machinery, it will for sure help in the future.

Not only students, in fact... this program can and shall be used by the marine engineers willing to refresh their technical knowledge and practical skills, or, for instance, when moving from one vessel to another.
