The GHOST Group 2 by Dawn Colclasure Pdf

There’s something different about Sarah Town. It’s brimming with ghosts–and some of those ghosts need help! That’s where the GHOST Group comes in–the Ghost Helpers of Sarah Town. The GHOST Group is made up of five 11-year-old team members: Jesse, Jenny, Ryan, Trent, and Cassie. The Ghost of the Irish Setter is a “ghost dog” story where team member Jesse must come to terms with losing his dog, Lolly, after she ran away. A ghost dog that is an Irish setter seeks Jesse’s help, but when the rest of the GHOST Group join the case, it becomes a matter of life or death after Cassie and Ryan are kidnapped! Can the GHOST Group help the ghost dog? And can Jesse find out what really happened to Lolly? In The Ghost of the Missing Hiker, a day of April Fool’s hijinks turn into another mystery for the GHOST Group. Meanwhile, the group's helper ghost, Adam, has some bad news for the team, and Jenny realizes she must accept her special gift and learn how to use it so she can help other ghosts in Sarah Town.

The Ghost Army of World War II by Rick Beyer,Elizabeth Sayles Pdf

“A riveting tale told through personal accounts and sketches along the way—ultimately, a story of success against great odds. I enjoyed it enormously.” —Tom Brokaw The first book to tell the full story of how a traveling road show of artists wielding imagination, paint, and bravado saved thousands of American lives—now updated with new material. In the summer of 1944, a handpicked group of young GIs—artists, designers, architects, and sound engineers, including such future luminaries as Bill Blass, Ellsworth Kelly, Arthur Singer, Victor Dowd, Art Kane, and Jack Masey—landed in France to conduct a secret mission. From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. Every move they made was top secret, and their story was hushed up for decades after the war's end. Hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs, along with maps, official memos, and letters, accompany Rick Beyer and Elizabeth Sayles’s meticulous research and interviews with many of the soldiers, weaving a compelling narrative of how an unlikely team carried out amazing battlefield deceptions that saved thousands of American lives and helped open the way for the final drive to Germany. The stunning art created between missions also offers a glimpse of life behind the lines during World War II. This updated edition includes: A new afterword by co-author Rick Beyer Never-before-seen additional images The successful campaign to have the unit awarded a Congressional Gold Medal History and WWII enthusiasts will find The Ghost Army of World War II an essential addition to their library.

Investigation of Form Effect on Ballast Mechanical Behavior Based on Discrete Element Modeling by Bo Wang Pdf

As an essential component of the ballast track, the ballast layer provides functionali-ties such as drainage, load distribution, as well as strength and stability for the rail-way track. The mechanical behaviors of ballast track such as its permanent settle-ment, breakage, force propagation and void ratio are in a great extent influenced by the form distribution of ballast stones. Its reasonable design will greatly improve the mechanical behaviors, and thus prolong the maintenance cycle of ballast track, or reduce the number of ballast stones needed for construction. This dissertation focuses on proposing optimized ballast stones in the ballast aggre-gate in regard to their geometrical forms. As the first step, a ballast random form gen-erator, which is designed to generate ballast form databases with different form dis-tributions, is proposed. 15 databases are created for further usage. Afterwards, Dis-crete Element Method (DEM) based simulations are performed to investigate the mechanical behaviors of ballast aggregates. The simulation model is established based on a box test, whose result is presented firstly. Establishment and calibration process of the model are expatiated afterwards. A parameter study regarding to cru-cial modeling parameters is also performed. Using the validated parameters and the 15 generated form databases, DEM simulation models with different form distribu-tions of ballast stones in the ballast aggregate are proposed. Simulative methods to quantify the mechanical behaviors are elaborated. Based on the obtained results, the interrelation between mechanical behaviors of ballast aggregate and the form effect on mechanical behavior of the ballast aggregates are studied. The optimized ballast aggregate is proposed based on the findings stated above. The proposed optimized ballast aggregate is expected to be a reference for construc-tion of ballast track in real world. The modeling technic and the calibrated modeling parameters can be used for optimization for different railway operating programs.

The Use of Resealed Erythrocytes as Carriers and Bioreactors by Mauro Magnani,John R. DeLoach Pdf

Until recently the only biomedical use of erythrocytes was in transfusion medicine to restore a normal oxygen delivery. The development of a technology that permits one to open and reseal erythrocytes has dramatically changed this perspective. Currently, a number of teams have shown that engineered erythrocytes can behave as circulating bioreactors for the degradation of toxic metabolites or the inactivation of xenobiotics, as drug delivery systems, as carriers of antigens of vaccinal interest, and in many others biomedical applications. The technology of opening and resealing the erythrocytes has also been used successfully to investigate several basic aspects of erythrocyte metabolism, survival, pathology, etc. Thus, researchers in this field have an extraordinary opportunity to specifically modify the erythrocytes by the introduction of enzymes that generate new metabolic abilities, antibodies that inactivate single metabolic steps, or metabolites that can influence oxygen delivery and/or other cell properties. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetics of any drug can be potentially manipulated by using the erythrocytes as a delivery system. This book, The Use of Resealed Erythrocytes, is based on the fourth meeting of the "International Society for the Use of Resealed Erythrocytes as Carriers and Bioreactors" (I. S. U. R. E. ), held in Urbino, Italy, in 1991, and examines the most recent applications and developments of this technology.

Read It Forward by Linda Kay Pdf

With this practical guide, it's easy to implement the proven fun—and learning—of a read-it-forward program in your middle school library. Teens recommend books to other teens, offering a surefire way to promote books and reading. Finding the right book for each student is almost impossible if you serve several hundred students, as most school librarians do. Read It Forward offers an innovative way around that problem: a program that lets librarians saturate the school with a title that encourages middle school students to read for pleasure. As an added bonus, Read It Forward (RIF) creates learning opportunities that can be leveraged across the curriculum. The program presented here is based on the author's experience with a community RIF project that was a collaborative effort among nine middle school librarians from schools with varying needs and socioeconomic levels. This thoroughly practical book takes librarians through the process step by step, offering specific examples of what worked and what didn't, then showing how the process can be extended to almost any book. The author also discusses other aspects of running a successful RIF program—such as getting buy-in from school administrators, the PTA, and department chairs—so that parents and teachers can collaborate in the experience.
