Chip, an android created by the high school science teacher, enrolls in junior high school, where his attempt to clear himself of charges of stealing lead to humorous adventures.

When was the last time you tried to assemble something without the instructions? Were you frustrated? Did you struggle to see how the pieces fit together? Do you struggle in the same way with your marriage, uncertain of how to assemble your relationship? If so, then join Courtney Short as he provides an instruction manual for the marriage you've always wanted. Courtney has set out to provide a how-to guide for struggling couples. He explains how the nuts and bolts of relationships—love, forgiveness, honesty, and respect—must be in place to build a strong, stable marriage. Of course, these things alone are not enough. A couple must also seek God's plan for their marriage and trust in his design. The fourteen keys that Courtney outlines for Christian couples will help you and your spouse build the marriage you were meant to have. Following godly instructions might not be easy, but the end result will be worth it. When it comes to marriage, there is Some Assembly Required.

Fantastic! You've won a cmpetition. You can choose your prize - a robot toy called the Annihilator 3000, or a tour of the Toy Factory. The factory is amazing - you'd swear the toys were alive! Well, yes. That would be because they are...alive, moving and very, vere upset... Or perhaps you'd rather have the cool new robot. It walks, talks and...shoots the cat? Hey, that wasn't in the instruction leaflet! Are you sure this was the right choice? Maybe you'd better just get out of here!

Hydrogen, Batteries and Fuel Cells provides the science necessary to understand these important areas, considering theory and practice, practical problem-solving, descriptions of bottlenecks, and future energy system applications. The title covers hydrogen as an energy carrier, including its production and storage; the application and analysis of electrochemical devices, such as batteries, fuel cells and electrolyzers; and the modeling and thermal management of momentum, heat, mass and charge transport phenomena. This book offers fundamental and integrated coverage on these topics that is critical to the development of future energy systems. - Combines coverage of hydrogen, batteries and fuel cells in the context of future energy systems - Provides the fundamental science needed to understand future energy systems in theory and practice - Gives examples of problems and solutions in the use of hydrogen, batteries and fuel cells - Considers basic issues in understanding hydrogen and electrochemical devices - Describes methods for modeling and thermal management in future energy systems

In this book, the development of next-generation batteries is introduced. Included are reports of investigations to realize high energy density batteries: Li-air, Li-sulfur, and all solid-state and metal anode (Mg, Al, Zn) batteries. Sulfide and oxide solid electrolytes are also reviewed.A number of relevant aspects of all solid-state batteries with a carbon anode or Li-metal anode are discussed and described: The formation of the cathode; the interface between the cathode (anode) and electrolyte; the discharge and charge mechanisms of the Li-air battery; the electrolyte system for the Li-air battery; and cell construction. The Li-sulfur battery involves a critical problem, namely, the dissolution of intermediates of sulfur during the discharge process. Here, new electrolyte systems for the suppression of intermediate dissolution are discussed. Li-metal batteries with liquid electrolytes also present a significant problem: the dendrite formation of lithium. New separators and electrolytes are introduced to improve the safety and rechargeability of the Li-metal anode. Mg, Al, and Zn metal anodes have been also applied to rechargeable batteries, and in this book, new metal anode batteries are introduced as the generation-after-next batteries.This volume is a summary of ALCA-SPRING projects, which constitute the most extensive research for next-generation batteries in Japan. The work presented in this book is highly informative and useful not only for battery researchers but also for researchers in the fields of electric vehicles and energy storage.
