Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The Jaguar D-Type, like its predecessor the C-Type, was a factory-built race car. Although it shared the basic straight-6 XK engine design (initially 3.4L and eventually uprated to 3.8 litres in the late fifties) with the C-Type, the majority of the car was radically different. Perhaps its most ground-breaking innovation was the introduction of a monocoque chassis, which not only introduced aircraft- style engineering to competition car design, but also an aeronautical understanding of aerodynamic efficiency. The D- Type was introduced purely for competition, but after Jaguar withdrew from racing, the company offered the remaining, unfinished chassis as the roadgoing Jaguar XKSS, by making changes to the racers: adding an extra seat, another door, a full-width windshield and primitive folding top, as concessions to practicality. However, on the evening of 12 February 1957, a fire broke out at the Browns Lane plant destroying nine of the twenty five cars that had already been completed or in semi-completion. Production is thought to have included 53 customer D-Types, 18 factory team cars, and 16 XKSS versions.

Electro House
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Electro house is a fusion genre of several electronic dance music subgenres that came into prominence in the 2000 decade. Stylistically, it combines the minimal-processed four to the floor beats commonly found in house music with harmonically rich analogue or digital basslines derived from electrotech, abrasive high-pitched leads commonly found in progressive psytrance and the occasional vocal tone, piano or string riff which define the genre as close to the original electro music. The tempo is predominant of house music, meaning that it usually ranges from 125 to 140 BPM, while the song structure pertains to trance-like progression.

École Néoclassique
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. L'école néoclassique est un terme générique utilisé pour désigner plusieurs courants économiques qui étudient la formation des prix, de la production et de la distribution des revenus à travers le mécanisme d'offre et de demande sur un marché. L'hypothèse de maximisation de l'utilité qui sous-tend ses calculs économiques la rattachent au courant marginaliste né à la fin du XIXe siècle. Des trois fondateurs du marginalisme à savoir Léon Walras, Carl Menger et William Stanley Jevons, le premier nommé est celui qui a la plus forte influence sur l'école néoclassique actuelle. Le mot néoclassique a été introduit à l'origine par Thorstein Veblen en 1900 pour désigner des auteurs qui intègrent la révolution marginaliste initiée par Stanley Jevons et l'école autrichienne (il n'évoque pas Léon Walras). Il classe sous ce vocable notamment Alfred Marshall et les autrichiens. A partir des années trente suite aux travaux de John Hicks le courant walrasien va prendre une place croissance et incorporer une partie de l'apport keynésien à travers la synthèse néoclassique.

Descent: FreeSpace - The Great War
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Descent: FreeSpace - The Great War is a 1998 space combat simulation IBM PC compatible computer game developed by Volition, Inc. when it was split off from Parallax Software. Published by Interplay Entertainment, it is also known as Conflict: FreeSpace - The Great War in Europe. In 2001, it was ported to the Amiga platform as FreeSpace - The Great War by Hyperion Entertainment. The story places the player in the role of a human pilot in the Galactic Terran Alliance, as it engages in war with the alien Parliamentary Vasudan Empire. This war is interrupted by the appearance of the enigmatic and militant Shivans, who begin slaughtering Terrans and Vasudans alike. Putting aside their differences, the Terrans and Vasudans form an alliance, and the player is assigned to missions to stop the Shivans' genocidal advance. The player pilots a starfighter, and alongside competent AI wingmen, completes these missions to determine the fate of two races. Important battles in the story feature capital ships, which dwarf the fighters piloted by the player, and explode spectacularly on destruction.

Haut Fourneau
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Un haut fourneau est un four à combustion interne, destiné à la fabrication de la fonte à partir du minerai de fer. Cette fonte est par la suite affinée par chauffage (décarburation) ce qui permet de produire de l'acier et des dérivés ferreux. Les premiers à avoir développé le haut fourneau furent les chinois (voir Histoire de la production de l'acier#Chine et Extrême-Orient). Au cours du XIVe siècle, la force hydraulique est appliquée pour la ventilation des foyers ou bas fourneaux utilisés pour extraire le fer du minerai. L'utilisation de roues à aubes ou à godets en remplacement de la force humaine permet d'augmenter la puissance des vents. Ceci permit l'augmentation de la hauteur des fours jusqu'à atteindre quatre à cinq mètres. Avec un fourneau de cette hauteur et les températures permises par les nouveaux soufflets, le fer une fois réduit se combinait au carbone, produisant de la fonte, dont la température de fusion (environ 1200°) est nettement inférieure à celle du fer pur.
