The Kitchen Shrink: A Psychiatrist's Reflections on Healing
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wang, Dora Calott, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, The personal story of how a psychiatrist confronts the profound changes sweeping the medical establishment as they reshape her life and career. In the past two decades, a seismic shift has occurred within the walls of our nation's hospitals and doctor's offices. The medical profession- once considered a sacred, cherished vocation-has devolved into a business motivated by a desire for profits. Even psychiatry, once the mainstay of the human interaction between doctor and patient, has fallen victim to rising costs and dictates by insurance sources. How has medicine strayed so far from its roots? In "The Kitchen Shrink," psychiatrist and lecturer Dora Calott Wang delves into what happened. Through the prism of her own story, Wang elucidates key events in her professional life-the declining state of hospitals and clinics, the advent of managed care, and the rise of profits at the ex?pense of patient care-that highlight the medical profession's decline. Along the way we meet some of her patients, whose plights reflect the profession's growing indifference to the human lives at risk. There's Selena, whose grief over her mother's death and lack of family support make it difficult for her to take the medicine that keeps her body from rejecting her new liver, and Leonard, a schizophrenic with no health insurance who develops peritonitis and falls into a coma for three months. Each new story brings additional compromises as the medical landscape shifts under Wang's feet. She struggles with depression and exhaustion, witnesses the loss of top doctors who leave in frustration, and attempts to find a balance between work and home as it becomes ever clearer that she cannot untangle the uncertain future of her patients from her own. Part personal story and part rallying cry, "The Kitchen Shrink" is an unflinchingly honest, passionate, and humane inside look at the unsettling realities of free-market medicine in today's America.
The Power of Purpose: Living Well by Doing Good
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Temes, Peter S., PUBLISHER: Three Rivers Press (CA), "The Power of Purpose" begins with a simple but remarkable statement: "The more you focus on helping others, the more you will succeed in reaching your own goals." Peter S. Temes builds on this fundamental insight to share a simple plan for living with the truest and most enduring kind of happiness. At the heart of "The Power of Purpose" are the "three levels of thinking." At the first level, we ask, Who am I? and What do I want? At the second level, we ask, Who do other people think I am? How do I look to them? But the real magic happens when we hit the third level, forgetting about ourselves and asking the questions that lend a powerful sense of purpose to our lives: How do others look to themselves? How can I help others become the people they want to be? To help us along the way, Temes, who teaches humanities at Columbia University, draws on the wisdom of great thinkers including Aristotle, Soren Kierkegaard, and Abraham Lincoln; the life lessons of great achievers ranging from Mother Teresa to Michael Jordan; and home truths he's gathered from his parents, his grandparents, and his three children. From all these sources and from his own life of great personal accomplishment, Temes identifies the essential knowledge that brings people happiness and success. He cites Aristotle's notion that happiness is not a psychological state but a moral one, resulting from doing good in the world. Temes also believes in the pivotal importance of trust and team-building in every area of life, from the family to the workplace to the street corner. "The Power of Purpose" is a map for finding the confidence and power, the opportunities and occasions, and--most important--the techniques and strategies for centering your relationships and work on helping others. It is a book with a point of view: the clearest path to your own success and happiness lies in helping others get to where they want to go. "From the Hardcover edition."
World Development Report : A Better Investment Climate
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: The World Bank / World Bank, Policy / World Bank Group, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Firms and entrepreneurs of all types--from microenterprises to multinationals--play a central role in growth and poverty reduction. Their investment decisions drive job creation, the availability and affordability of goods and services for consumers, and the tax revenues governments can draw on to fund health, education, and other services. The contribution they make to society depends largely on the way governments shape the investment climate in each location-through the protection of property rights, regulation and taxation, strategies for providing infrastructure, interventions in finance and labor markets, and broader governance features such as corruption. New sources of data from the World Bank highlight how investment climates vary dramatically across as well as within countries-and hence the potential for improvement. The World Development Report : A Better Investment Climate for Everyone argues that improving the investment climates of their societies should be a top priority for governments. Drawing on surveys of nearly firms in 53 developing countries, country case studies, and other new research, the Report explores questions such as: What are the key features of a good investment climate, and how do they influence growth and poverty? What can governments do to improve their investment climates, and how can they go about tackling such a broad agenda? What has been learned about good practice in each of the main areas of the investment climate? What role might selective interventions and international arrangements play in improving the investment climate? What can the international community do to help developing countries improve the investment climates of their societies? In addition to detailed chapters exploring these and related issues, the Report contains selected data from the World Bank's new program of Investment Climate Surveys, the Bank's Doing Business Project, and World Development Indicators --an appendix of economic and social data for over 200 countries. Now in its twenty-seventh edition, the World Development Report offers practical insights for policymakers, business developers, economic advisers, researchers, and professionals in the media and in non-governmental organizations. It is also an essential supplement to economic and development courses in both academic and professional settings.

Catherine the Great: Life and Legend
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alexander, John T., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Catherine II of Russia is one of the most colorful characters in modern history. Born a minor German princess, she was betrothed to the Grand Duke Peter of Russia at 15, through the designs of the childless Empress Elizabeth and her own scheming mother. By 33, she had overthrown her husband in a bloodless coup and established herself as Empress of the multinational Russian Empire, the largest territorial political unit in modern history. Portrayed variously as a political genius who restored to Russia the glory it had known in the days of Peter the Great and a despotic foreign adventuress who usurped the Russian throne, murdered her rivals, and tyrannized her subjects, she was, by all accounts, an extraordinary woman. Catherine the Great, the first popular biography of the mpress based on modern scholarship, provides a vivid portrait of Catherine as a mother, a lover, and, above all, an extremely savvy ruler. Concentrating on her long reign (), John Alexander examines all aspects of Catherine's life and career: the brilliant political strategies by which she won the acceptance of a nationalistic elite; her expansive foreign policy; the domestic reforms with which she revamped the Russian military, political structure, and economy; and, of course, her infamous love life. Alexander begins with an account of the dramatic "palace revolt" by which Catherine unseated her husband and a background chapter describing the circumstances of her early childhood and marriage, then proceeds chronologically through the 34 years of reign. In compelling narrative fashion, he describes such events as the incursion of bubonic plague on Moscow, the uprising of the Ural peasants, and the six political murders the empress sanctioned. Catherine is presented here in more human terms than in previous biographies, with numerous quotations included from her reminiscences and notes. We learn, for instance, not only the names and number of her lovers, but her understanding of what many considered a shocking licentiousness. "The trouble is," she wrote, "that my heart would not willingly remain one hour without love." The result of 20 years' research by one of the leading narrative historians of modern Russia in the U.S., this is truly an impressive work. Alexander delved into little-known sources (including a collection of Catherine's love notes which is included here as an appendix) as well as popular and specialized accounts to arrive at this much-needed, balanced appraisal of one of history's most scandal-ridden figures.

The Deficit and the Public Interest: The Search for
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: White, Joseph / Wildavsky, Aaron, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, Political time is counted, not in years, but in issues--the depression defined the political era of the s just as the cold war did the s and civil rights the s. Today the federal budget looms as the dominant issue by which all others are considered and has become a concern which catalyzes debate again and again in our nation's capital. In this definitive new work, Joseph White and Aaron Wildavsky describe and analyze the struggles over taxing and spending from Carter's last year through the Reagan administration. The battle of the budget is largely about how we define the role of the government and its relationship to the people. It is a story of congressional horsetrading, partisan posturing, and technical tricks that affect billions of dollars. It is also a story of politicians operating within constraints set by both public opinion and political interpretation of economic reality. Though budgeting has always been important, its impact on the national agenda has grown dramatically in the last decades. Based on extensive interviews with participants and thorough use of documentary sources, this book both explains how budgeting works so the reader can see what is at stake in seemingly arcane disputes and locates budgeting within larger ideological trends in American society. It also explains the relationship of the budget to media, party and policy activists and explores the ways in which the deficit represents a crisis of self-confidence in the ability of our institutions, preeminently Congress and the presidency. Along the way, it provides a uniquely comprehensive account of the entire budget problem, exploring Gramm-Rudman, tax reform, and the continuing stalemate around this issue. "The Deficit and the Public Interest" offers a wide-ranging "solution" to the deficit that encompasses several ideas: the authors demonstrate that institutions have performed better than their members and critics believe, and they contend that extreme solutions would likely be much worse than the original problems. Further, they redefine the problem as one of reducing interest costs so the deficit becomes manageable, and they proffer political advice on how to make this approach politically acceptable, both at home and abroad. This meticulously researched work provides an invaluable journey through the last decade of American politics. In its theoretical depth and incisive new approach to policymaking, "The Deficit and the Public Interest" lends a fundamentally new understanding of the place of the federal government in American society.

Simply put, Anthem Room Correction quickly "corrects" the effects that reflective surfaces such as walls, floors and ceilings have on the sound radiating from a loudspeaker. Removing the effects of these obstacles allows your audio equipment to achieve a more natural sound in any room, as close to the lab standard as possible. On a more complex level, ARC is a proprietary digital signal processing software that works with a specially-engineered calibration microphone and your PC to quickly and easily optimize audio for your unique listening space. Anthem engineers developed the ARC system while researching how to replicate the audio-lab standard of performance in non-lab environments. This groundbreaking research was conducted in conjunction with the National Research Council of Canada, the Canadian government's research and technology organization. Anthem engineers realized that real world listening experiences had little in common with the controlled environment of the audio lab. That's because even the best loudspeakers are affected by room anomalies like furniture. These obstacles cause standing waves, resonances, and reflections that can color the sound you hear. Imagine the sound waves coming from your speakers as ripples on a water surface. That makes it easy for you to understand how the ripples of sound bounce off any obstruction they encounter. You can immediately see the benefit of removing the obstacles. ARC digitally compares a room's acoustic signature to that of the lab standard. It measures the response of each speaker relative to the listening area. Then it uses advanced algorithms to eliminate the negative effects of the obstacles in the room, adjusting response and correcting phase effects. When ARC removes the obstacles, what's left is the lab standard performance. Limitless music. App-controlled convenience. Wireless connectivity. Everyone wants instant access to their digital audio library, anywhere in the home. And Anthem's AVM 60 with DTS Play-Fi® technology is the perfect, high performance means of delivery.

A Line in the Sand
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Roberts, Randy W. / Olson, James S. / Olson, James N., PUBLISHER: Free Press, In late February and early March of , the Mexican Army under the command of General Antonio Lipez de Santa Anna besieged a small force of Anglo and Tejano rebels at a mission known as the Alamo. The defenders of the Alamo were in an impossible situation. They knew very little of the events taking place outside the mission walls. They did not have much of an understanding of Santa Anna or of his government in Mexico City. They sent out contradictory messages, they received contradictory communications, they moved blindly and planned in the dark. And in the dark early morning of March 6, they died. In that brief, confusing, and deadly encounter, one of America's most potent symbols was born. The story of the last stand at the Alamo grew from a Texas rallying cry, to a national slogan, to a phenomenon of popular culture and presidential politics. Yet it has been a hotly contested symbol from the first. Questions remain about what really happened: Did William Travis really draw a line in the sand? Did Davy Crockett die fighting, surrounded by the bodies of two dozen of the enemy? And what of the participants' motives and purposes? Were the Texans justified in their rebellion? Were they sincere patriots making a last stand for freedom and liberty, or were they a ragtag collection of greedy men-on-the-make, washed-up politicians, and backwoods bullies, Americans bent on extending American slavery into a foreign land? The full story of the Alamo -- from the weeks and months that led up to the fateful encounter to the movies and speeches that continue to remember it today -- is a quintessential story of America's past and a fascinating window into our collective memory. In "ALine in the Sand," acclaimed historians Randy Roberts and James Olson use a wealth of archival sources, including the diary of Jose Enrique de la Pena, along with important and little-used Mexican documents, to retell the story of the Alamo for a new generation of Americans. They explain what happened from the perspective of all parties, not just Anglo and Mexican soldiers, but also Tejano allies and bystanders. They delve anew into the mysteries of Crockett's final hours and Travis's famous rhetoric. Finally, they show how preservationists, television and movie producers, historians, and politicians have become the Alamo's major interpreters. Walt Disney, John Wayne, and scores of journalists and cultural critics have used the Alamo to contest the very meaning of America, and thereby helped us all to "remember the Alamo." Acquista Ora

Regret: The Persistence of the Possible
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Landman, Janet, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, "We are a people who do not want to keep much of the past in our heads," Lillian Hellman once wrote. "It is considered unhealthy in America to remember mistakes, neurotic to think about them, psychotic to dwell upon them." Yet who in their lifetime has never regretted a lost love, a missed opportunity, a path not taken? Indeed, regret is perhaps a universal experience, but while poets and novelists have long explored its complexities, very little has been written from a scholarly perspective that examines this emotion. Now, in Regret, Janet Landman takes a lively and perceptive look at this multifaceted phenomenon. Much as Anthony Storr did in his best-selling Solitude, Landman here provides an insightful anatomy of an emotion, ranging far and wide to illuminate the nature of regret--what it is, how it changes you, how you experience it. She draws on a breathtaking variety of sources, ranging from psychology, economics, philosophy, and anthropology, to classic works of literature. We learn what people regret most--lack of education comes first, followed by employment, marriage, and children--and how regret differs from other emotions, such as remorse, disappointment, sadness, or guilt. In one of the most fascinating sections, Landman examines four "worldviews" of regret--the Romantic, the Tragic, the Comic, and the Ironic--as exemplified in four major novels: Great Expectations, Notes From Underground, The Ambassadors, and Mrs. Dalloway. In Dostoevsky, for instance, regret is a "poison of unfulfilled desires turned inward," destructive, incurable. Though it is common to regard regret as painful and destructive--being "stuck in the past" or "ruled by emotions"--Landman reveals some surprising benefits. At best regret is a dynamic changing process--one can transcend regret, and thus transform the self. In Anne Tyler's Breathing Lessons, for example, we witness how the characters Ira and Maggie Moran find themselves ready to move forward in their relationship only after they have accepted life's limits and losses without resignation or despair. "It is a good thing," Landman writes, "that the human mind is not limited by what actually exists, but works in such a way that it draws comparisons between what happens and what might have happened. It is in this ability to imagine alternatives, and the capacity to care about the particularities of experience, that we accomplish the task of becoming fully human." For anyone who has ever questioned, experienced, or avoided regret, here is a provocative and challenging look at this enduring emotion.

Changing reflectors, adding diffusion or adjusting power levels will result in a color temperature change that needs to be corrected. They know that taking the time to do it right is always a good investment because "perfect in" always looks better than an image that has been adjusted.

Berlin in the Balance: The Blockade, the Airlift, the First
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Parrish, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Da Capo Press, In June , Soviet authorities in Germany announced a land blockade of the American, British, and French sectors of Berlin. Isolated more than one hundred miles within Soviet-occupied territory, western Berlin was in danger of running out of coal, food, and the courage to stand up to Joseph Stalin.As "Berlin in the Balance" recounts, this crisis was a turning-point for U.S. policy. Just three years earlier, the Soviet Union had been an ally and Berlin the target of American bombers. In Winston Churchill had ignited protests by calling for an Anglo-American alliance against the USSR. The Berlin blockade made Churchill's "iron curtain" through Europe an inescapable reality.Led by Harry S. Truman, the Western Allies refused to back away from Berlin. Instead, they took to the air, packing passenger planes with coal, potatoes, flour, and other necessities. Not even the commanders of the year-old U.S. Air Force believed this fleet could supply western Berlin for long. Its main airport was squeezed among apartment buildings. Autumn would bring blinding fogs. And nobody had ever tried to supply a city of millions by air."Berlin in the Balance "tells the full, gripping story of this critical conflict--how it developed and how it played out. Noted historian Thomas Parrish shows us the crisis through the eyes of Truman, Stalin, and other leaders. We hear Berliners cheer the arrival of each "raisin bomber"; the planes' roar was assurance that the democratic powers had not abandoned them. Through sources made available only after the fall of the USSR, we learn how Soviet leaders planned their strategy to drive out the West, what they feared, and what they hoped to achieve."Berlin in theBalance" spotlights a different kind of air force heroism--flying heavy transport planes in weather so bad "the birds walked," harassed by Soviet fighters but never firing a shot. Under the decisive leadership of General William H. Tunner, crews took off every three minutes around the clock. Soldiers rushed to maintain the airplanes and runways, master a new radar system, even build a new airport. The operation depended on support from Frankfurt to London to Montana, on the sacrifices of German civilians and the boldness of French saboteurs. Using archives and fresh interviews, Parrish details the full scope and success of "Operation Vittles."The Berlin airlift stopped Stalin's expansion in Europe. It helped Truman win his upset election in . And it set the course of East-West conflict for the next forty years. More than sixty U.S. and allied fliers died in this great operation, keeping a besieged city fueled, fed, and free. "Berlin in the Balance" is a masterful chronicle of this crucial, stirring saga.

Linn Majik Chakra C amplificatore finale a 5 canali pote
Gli amplificatori di potenza Chakra sono il risultato di uno sviluppo ultraquinquennale a livello di proggettazione Linn, sulla base di criteri un'autentica flessibilità nella realizzazione e nell'up grade di impianti audio. Le molteplici opzioni disponibili in termini di numero dei canali, potenza di uscita, e collegamenti consentono di scegliere la soluzione di amplificazione ideale per il sistema in uso, sia esso sia stereo o surround, passivo o attivo. La tecnologia Chakra proprietaria Linn, adottata per la prima volta nello straordinario Klimax Chakra 500 Twin, viene impiegata in questa serie con performance eccezionali. La tecnologia CHAKRA utilizza una batteria di transistori bipolari di grandi dimensioni come "booster" attorno ad un unico monolitico. Il principio della transizione da monolitico a bipolare è esclusivo Linn che ne ha presentato domanda di brevetto. Quando la corrente d'uscita è inferiore a pochi ampère, tutta la potenza viene erogata dal monolitico IC, aumentando al massimo la velocità e le proprietà lineari di questa concezione. A correnti d'uscita più elevate sono i transistor bipolari a fornire la maggior parte della corrente, consentendo al monolitico di funzionare bene all'interno della sua capacità nonché di correggere istantaneamente eventuali errori. Si tratta di una tecnologia decisamente compatta - con superficie dei circuiti e lunghezza del percorso del segnale ridotti - e caratterizzata da un'elevata efficacia in quanto viene prodotta una temperatura inferiore rispetto a quella erogata dai precedenti amplificatori Linn. Alimentatori di tipo "switch mode" In tutti i modelli CHAKRA è integrato un alimentatore tipo 'switch mode' (SMPS). Si tratta di un alimentatore elettronico che, oltre a convertire e regolare la tensione di rete in ingresso, garantisce un isolamento elettrico ottimale della circuiteria audio interna rispetto all'esterno. L'alimentatore "switch mode" sostituisce l'ingombrante, pesante e rumoroso trasformatore come pure diversi altri componenti dimensionabili. Ecco alcuni dei principali vantaggi rispetto agli alimentatori convenzionali: dimensioni ridotte, elevata efficienza, risposta rapida, elevata tolleranza sulla tensione di rete in ingresso, buona tolleranza al carico, ridotta rumorosità e rispetto dell'ambiente grazie al ridotto impiego di materiali. Inoltre, diversamente da quelli convenzionali di grandi dimensioni, gli alimentatori "switch mode" non producono distorsione a livello della tensione di rete e, in caso di upgrade da un amplificatore con alimentatore convenzionale ad un CHAKRA, a parte i vantaggi della migliore amplificazione, è molto probabile che migliori il suono dell'intero impianto, grazie ad un'alimentazione di rete più pulita. Funzionamento AKTIV* Gli amplificatori CHAKRA supportano il funzionamento AKTIV. I crossover passivi standard vengono pilotati dal segnale audio, per cui una certa parte del segnale va effettivamente persa. I crossover AKTIV sono alimentati dall'SMPS (vedere sopra) per cui al diffusore arriva una parte molto maggiore del segnale audio. Inoltre, sono in grado di esercitare un grado di controllo molto superiore sul segnale: tutte qualità che - abbinate - comportano un decisivo miglioramento delle prestazioni audio rispetto alle modalità standard. Il rivenditore Linn di fiducia può effettuare la conversione AKTIV di qualsiasi canale amplificatore CHAKRA inserendo un modulo AKTIV espressamente progettato da Linn.

Linn Dynamik prodotti poteri in modo più efficace e permetterà di ottimizzare le prestazioni audio e la riduzione dei livelli di rumore più per essere sicuri di ascoltare di più di ciò che conta di più - la musica. Perché Dynamik? Una breve panoramica delle caratteristiche tecnologiche ei vantaggi dell'aggiornamento alimentazione Dynamik. La ridotta sensibilità alla rete rumore Emissioni ridotte Bassa rumorosità Maggiore efficenza e risposta rapida Aumenta la potenza e incrementa notevolmente le prestazioni audio Dynamik has improved filtering to minimise the susceptibility of mains borne noise from entering the power supply compared to Linn's previous switched mode supplies. Dynamik ha migliorato filtro per ridurre al minimo la suscettibilità di rete rumore sopportato l'ingresso di alimentazione rispetto alle precedenti forniture Linn modalità commutate. From our experience, having dedicated internal filters is more effective that having an external filter/conditioner which can allow product-to-product interactions with detrimental effects on the audio performance. Dalla nostra esperienza, aver dedicato filtri interni è più efficace che avere un filtro esterno / condizionatore che può permettere che il prodotto a prodotto interazioni con effetti negativi sulle prestazioni audio. Reduced Emissions Emissioni ridotte Dynamik has improved filtering to reduce the operating noise from exiting the power supply and affecting other products within the system. Dynamik è migliorata filtraggio per ridurre il rumore di funzionamento di uscire di alimentazione e che interessano altri prodotti all'interno del sistema. Typically, this noise can be in the Radio Frequency range, where the noise can capacitively couple between power cables, analogue interconnects or speaker cables, degrading the system performance. In genere, questo rumore può essere nel range di frequenza radio, dove il rumore può capacitivo coppia tra i cavi di alimentazione, di interconnessione analogico o cavi di potenza, riduzione delle prestazioni del sistema. Lower Noise Bassa rumorosità Dynamik has improved filtering to reduce the operating noise from entering the audio circuits that the Dynamik is powering. Dynamik ha migliorato filtro per ridurre il rumore di funzionamento di entrare nei circuiti audio che il Dynamik si alimentano. This improves the overall noise floor of the audio electronics, resulting in better performance. Questo migliora il livello di rumore dell'elettronica audio, con conseguente miglioramento delle prestazioni. Faster Response Una risposta più rapida The control loops in Dynamik have been improved. I cicli di controllo in Dynamik sono stati migliorati. This enables the power supply to react faster to changes in the music. Ciò consente l'alimentazione di reagire velocemente alle variazioni di musica. In a power amplifier this reduces the ripple on the voltage rails which is a source of noise/distortion coherent with the music. In un amplificatore di potenza riduce il ripple sulle rotaie di tensione che è una fonte di rumore / distorsione coerente con la musica. Dynamik is our fastest switch mode power supply yet, making it an ever bigger improvement over traditional linear power supplies (which have no feedback from the secondary to the primary so they must rely upon storing power in banks of capacitors, which results in long signal paths which limit the product performance). Dynamik è il più veloce il nostro alimentatore switching ancora, il che rende un miglioramento sempre più grande rispetto ai tradizionali alimentatori lineari (che non hanno risposte dal secondario al primario quindi devono fare affidamento sul potere di stoccaggio in banchi di condensatori, che si traduce in percorsi di segnale lunghi che limitano le prestazioni del prodotto). Specific to the Power Amplifier Dynamik Specifico per il Dynamik amplificatore di potenza (Applies to Klimax Solo, Klimax Twin, Akurate/Majik/Chakra power amplifiers, Majik-I, Classik Music, Classik Movie, Klimax loudspeakers, AV ) (Si applica a Klimax Solo, Klimax Twin, Akurate / Majik / amplificatori di potenza Chakra, Majik-I, Musica Classik, Classik Movie, altoparlanti Klimax, AV ) Increased Power Aumento di potenza The Power Amplifier Dynamik Power Supply has a 30% increase in its RMS output power. L'amplificatore di alimentazione Dynamik Power ha un aumento del 30% nella sua potenza di uscita RMS. This provides more power to the amplifier stages to enable the amplifier to control the drive units more effectively. Questo fornisce più potenza alle fasi dell'amplificatore per permettere all'amplificatore di controllare le unità di azionamento in modo più efficace.
