Theory of Aerospace Propulsion

By: Pasquale M. Sforza

Theory of Aerospace Propulsion provides excellent coverage of aerospace propulsion systems, including propellers, nuclear rockets, and space propulsion. The book's in-depth, quantitative treatment of the components of jet propulsion engines provides the tools for evaluation and component matching for optimal system performance. Worked examples and end of chapter exercises provide practice for analysis, preliminary design, and systems integration. Readers of this book will be able to utilize the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to analyze aircraft engines; understand the common gas turbine aircraft propulsion systems and be able to determine the applicability of each; perform system studies of aircraft engine systems for specified flight conditions; perform preliminary aerothermal design of turbomachinery components; conceive, analyze, and optimize competing preliminary designs for conventional and unconventional missions. The book is organized into 15 chapters covering a wide array of topics such as idealized flow machines; quasi-one-dimensional flow equations; idealized cycle analysis of jet engines; combustion chambers for airbreathing engines; nozzles and inlets; turbomachinery; blade element analysis of axial flow turbomachines; turbine engine performance and component integration; propellers; liquid rockets; solid propellant rockets; nuclear rockets; space propulsion; and propulsion aspects of high-speed flight. This book will appeal to aerospace or mechanical engineers working in gas turbines, turbomachinery, aircraft propulsion and rocket propulsion, and to undergraduate and graduate level students in aerospace or mechanical engineering studying aerospace propulsion or turbomachinery. - Early coverage of cycle analysis provides a systems perspective, and offers context for the chapters on turbomachinery and components - Broader coverage than found in most other books - including coverage of propellers, nuclear rockets, and space propulsion - allows analysis and design of more types of propulsion systems - In depth, quantitative treatments of the components of jet propulsion engines provides the tools for evaluation and component matching for optimal system performance - Worked examples and end of chapter exercises provide practice for analysis, preliminary design, and systems integration

Devils in Paradise

Writings on Post-emigrant Culture

By: Pasquale Verdicchio

In these essays Pasquale Verdicchio stresses the need to view the cultural works of minority groups not solely from the perspective of their immigrant roots, but primarily as post-emigrant products. Through writings on diverse figures such as Antonio Gramsci, the Super Mario Brothers, or Spike Lee, and on subjects that range from literature to sculpture and photography, the author closes in on a possible intellectual synthesis for what might be considered the most complex question of this end of century: What is the identity and place of a minority individual?

Corporate Finance

Fundamentals of Value and Price

By: Pasquale De Luca

This book on corporate finance systemically integrates firms' approach toward the market, the value fundamentals of investors, and the pricing dynamics of financial markets. The reader is first introduced to an illustration and analysis of some of the main models used in corporate finance and in asset pricing. The text moves to define the core analysis and valuation techniques to demonstrate how integrating the fields of corporate finance and asset pricing allows us to make comprehensive and precise valuations over time. The textbook combines rigorous quantitative analysis with effective use of graphics to aid intuitive understanding, as well as didactic elements to help grasp the theoretical framework. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as financial analysts and advisors, investors, and bankers, the book also provides an overview of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), IPO, and Private Equity to help illustrate the theoretical concepts in practice.

POP-UP HOTEL REVOLUTION, the architectural innovation about to come in the hotel industry

By: Joseph Di Pasquale,Chiara Butta,Paola Zatti

WHICH IS MOVING: PEOPLE OR ARCHITECTURE? In an era where nomadism is the keyword that relates people to the rest of the world, architecture is seeking for a concrete response to the recent needs, result of the rise of mobility and worldwide travels. The proposal of new modular structures for the hospitality market defines the tendency to think movable, modular, flexible.

Risky Agricultural Markets

Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies

By: Pasquale L Scandizzo,Peter B R Hazell,Jock Anderson

This book shows how decisions made by individual farmers influence the efficiency of agricultural markets. Unless farmers properly take account of the correlation between prices and yields in forming their price forecasts, competitive markets will often be socially inefficient, leading to misallocation of resources. The authors demonstrate that a simple and practical price forecasting rule, based on expected per unit revenue, is generally adequate to ensure efficient market behavior.Time-series data from various countries are used to test the hypothesis that market supply is influenced by the correlation of price and yield as well as by lagged market prices . The importance of market inefficiencies in risky situations is shown to, depend on the variability of yields, the nature of farmers'price forecasting behavior, the degree of private risk aversion,and the elasticity of demand. The authors suggest and evaluate three basic policy approaches governments may take when confronted with very inefficient markets--establishing production quotas, improving market information services, and implementing price stabilization schemes. They conclude by discussing implications of the study for the specification of agricultural supply models and for the economic appraisal of risky investment projects.

Thomas Aquinas

By: Pasquale Porro

The development of ideas in Thomas Aquinas's philosophical thinking has been the subject of numerous smaller studies, but no contemporary work in the English-speaking world covers his every single work in chronological order in terms of philosophical development, influences, manuscript evidence, and historical setting. In Thomas Aquinas: A Historical and Philosophical Profile, Pasquale Porro has provided a complete landscape of Thomas's corpus that will give Thomistic scholars and students an invaluable reference point for research, discussion, and debate.
