The book is written by Ukrainian author Valentyn Ostyanov, using many years of research in boxing, as well as the practical work as a trainer and lecturer at the Ukrainian University of Physical Culture and Sports. It would be of interest to practicing coaches, lecturers in sports studies, scientists, and sportsmen. In Ukraine, it was recommended by Ministry of Education to study in Sports education institutions.The book includes:- basics of teaching and training boxers (fr...

Christianity Today Book Awards Missions and the Global Church Award of Merit (2025)When Russia invaded Ukraine, an evangelical seminary lost everything—except its commitment to serving God.In this searing eyewitness account, Valentyn Syniy recounts how the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 upended life for students, teachers, and staff of the Tavriski Christian Institute. As president of TCI, Syniy was responsible for evacuating ...

Why do we believe that today’s English-speaking reader needs this book of ours? We saw the amazement with which the world, including our nearest neighbors, watched the Euromaidan events. It was quite a discovery for them that there was a hitherto unknown fantastic country that was fighting hard for freedom and a chance to belong to their circle. Many Europeans began to forget the way their countries had passed before the European Union emerged. And, all of a sudden, this young passionate f...

This scientific and technological work presents a new global approach to phosphogypsum utilization — transforming industrial waste into valuable material assets.Based on long-term research and industrial experience, the book proposes innovative methods of converting phosphogypsum into high-value products such as potassium sulfate, calcium chloride, and rare earth element concentrates.It provides detailed analysis of global phosphogypsum production, market potential, and envi...

I believe that writing is need only in the moments of the highest emotional excitement – it is then creating things that later interesting to read and re-read. But here's the problem – every time I read, I'm going to edit and polish them. Sometimes this ends with the fact that the text changes to non-recognition. At the time of the release of this book, this opportunity will disappear for me. Enjoy!

The book presents theoretical and experimental studies to establish the relationship between volume jumps of the 90° domain wall in a ferromagnetic material and the magnitude of the half-space surface displacement caused by it. A method of evaluating the influence of the external magnetic field on the stress intensity factor at the tip of the crack-like defects in ferromagnets is discussed. The influence of hydrogen on the generation of magneto-elastic acoustic emission signals of ferromag...

The book presents topical theoretical and experimental studies for developing advanced methods of detecting materials fracture and assessing their structural state using acoustic emission. It introduces new mathematical models characterizing the displacement fields arising from crack-like defects and establishes a new criterion for classifying different types of materials fracture based on specific parameters obtained from wavelet transforms of acoustic emission signals. The book applies t...

With the increasing demands for safer freight trains operating with higher speed and higher loads, it is necessary to implement methods for controlling longer, heavier trains. This requires a full understanding of the factors that affect their dynamic performance. Simulation techniques allow proposed innovations to be optimised before introducing them into the operational railway environment. Coverage is given to the various types of locomotives used with heavy haul freight trains, along w...

This monograph analyses in detail the physical aspects of the elastic waves radiation during deformation or fracture of materials. It presents themethodological bases for the practical use of acoustic emission device, anddescribes the results of theoretical and experimental researches of evaluation of the crack growth resistance of materials, selection of theuseful AE signals. The efficiency of this methodology is shown through the diagnostics of various-purpose industrial objects. The aut...
