In this concept, there can be seen different vehicle types and stakeholders, different organizations and operations, most of which has a similar background and state of affairs. For the time being, the evolution of dolmü-minibus system and the vehicles used for this concept is mostly depended on and nourished from the social events, economical situations, political decisions and the changes of city structure in the country rather than industrial design and technological developments. However, there are numerous technological improvements especially on information and communication area, which can affect the next generation of paratransit system. In addition industrially designed paratransit system vehicles can be more human centered and may have rather aesthetic values in the very near future. This research study essentially focuses to review the evolution of paratransit system and its implementations in Turkey with particular reference to vehicles and therefore find out the potential design and technology impact on ameliorating the paratransit vehicles and system.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -From the 2nd century BC, the view emerged in China that the intent of the author is crucial to a poem's composition and understanding. Writing was seen as the manifestation of the author's inner spiritual nature and identity. Thus all writing was to some extent autobiographical; writing about oneself had to be indirect, rather than overt or blatant. There were a number of obstacles to the development of autobiography as a genre in China. A high value was placed on humility, and writers hesitated to focus on themselves, only rarely writing in the first person. They used different names for themselves, and unlikely literary forms, such as prefaces to works, or biographies of other people, or speaking through fictional characters. There was also resistance to autobiography, because it was thought that a life or career could only be assessed when it was over. There was still a substantial amount of autobiographical writing in ancient and Medieval China. This book focuses primarily on the Tang and Song periods, and on the development of the literary form of the self-written epitaph; the earlier development of the genre and its later influence are also discussed. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book, an Active Shed Unbalancing System was described and constructed on a narrow fabric loom using a computer controlled hydraulic actuator. It was first used as a passive shed unbalancer which confirmed previous findings that weaving resistance (W.R.) or Beat-up Force (B.U.F) could be substantially reduced and then as an active system that, when properly timed, gave a further 20% reduction. The advantage of the active system is that it eases beating - in of weft and also helps to minimize pick slipping back during the remaining part of the loom cycle. Also, with the active system it might be possible to weave a tighter fabric than previously possible and also have potential of improving the aesthetic qualities or cover of the woven fabric. Sometimes, fabrics of high sett, i.e. above or close to construction limits are necessary to meet certain end - use requirements, e.g. water proof, industrial filters, canvas, tarpaulin, etc. Thus, the book gives an account of the experiments and the literature survey of the patented and potential unbalancing systems for commercial looms. 80 pp. Englisch.
