I'm going to split up my submissions for the crowdsourced history reading list initiated by Chris into several topical lists (with cross references), beginning with the authors and book series I'm submitting in toto, as well as some basic reference material.  So:

ALL BOOKS BY ...
* Antonia Fraser (women's history, Tudors & Stuarts)
* Ian Mortimer (British history, particularly Middle Ages)
* Dan Jones (ditto)
* Stanley Wells (Shakespeare -- everything from biographies and history to criticism)
* John Julius Norwich (British and Mediterranean history)

* Christopher Hibbert (ditto)
* Jared Diamond (intersection of (world) history, geography, and sociology)

SERIES
* Will Durant, Ariel Durant: The Story of Civilization (11 volumes, Ancient Orient to Age of Napoleon)

* Various Authors: Fischer Weltgeschichte (published elsewhere as Weidenfeld & Nicolson Universal History / Siglo XXI Editores Historia Universal / Storia Universale Feltrinelli, and Bordas / Fayard Histoire Universelle, respectively) (36 vols., prehistory to present day)

BASIC REFERENCE
* Oxford Encyclopedia of World History
* Putzger Atlas der Weltgeschichte (unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge not translated into English -- but for my money, one of the best historical cartographical works in existence)

The Vessel is the third book in the Semiramis series, and once again, we continue where we left off. Alexia and her sisters (plus others) are reunited; they still have the tablets to find; and now Alexia is dealing with Lucifer too. 

This series has completely enthralled me. I dropped what I was reading, to read this. Trust me, that NEVER happens. I am a monogamist reader!!! Except... I NEEDED to know what happened. Now, I'm not saying this book was perfect (although it came damn near close). Did I have questions at the end? Yes, I did. Did it matter or impact my enjoyment of this book? Absolutely not.

The wit, banter, and love is full throttle in this book, and one of the bits I loved most was when everyone thought Alexia was angry, and instead she was grief stricken. Her explanation was perfect! There are surprises aplenty in this book, and I will admit to crying throughout what felt like three-quarters of the book!!! The characters have drawn me in over the three books - becoming real in my mind. I laughed with them, and so therefore I cried with them too.

Artificial blood vessels, also known as vascular prostheses, the main material of artificial blood vessel include: EPTFE, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Polyurethane and so on. The main function of artificial blood vessels can replace the pumping blood. Now mainly used for replacement of aorta, the role of artificial blood vessels are connected the two ends of blood vessels, the blood circulation to recover.

The current artificial blood vessels are mostly polyester fibers or PTFE fibers woven into the corrugation of the tube has certain porosity. It implanted in the body which can form a layer of fake endometrial. Due to avoiding coagulation and thrombosis, it’s a better solution to the problem of preventing thrombosis. An organism that can be absorbed by the material emerging nonabsorbable material and crosswoven, or on the large pore fabric coating absorbable material e.g. collagen fibers of the artificial blood vessel, it is easy to fake endometrial growth acceleration effect better.

Artificial Blood Vessel is a substitute of vascular. It was developed successfully and begins clinical application in the 1950s. Artificial blood vessel requirements include stable physical and chemical properties; mesh suitable degree; have a certain strength and flexibility; easy to sew bypass surgery when making good; no bleeding or oozing blood when small blood vessels and can be turned on instantly stop; after Implantation of human tissue reactions were mild; human tissue can rapidly form the inner and outer membrane newborn; difficult thrombosis; and satisfactory longterm patency. Currently EPTFE, Polyethylene Terephthalate and Polyurethane are used in the manufacture of an artificial blood vessel which is widely used in aortic disease, peripheral vascular disease and hemodialysis.
Consider the global manufacture of Artificial Blood Vessel, Europe and the United States is the major producing regions, the main production companies are concentrated in this area, such as Maquet, Terumo, Gore, B. Braun, Bard, Jotec GmbH, LeMaitre Vascular, Perouse Medical and Nicast. The total production of artificial blood vessel 168450 units in US, whose occupies above 55.69% of total production in 2015. 117300 units were produced in Europe, accounting for more than 38.78% in 2015. 1730 units were produced by Chinese native manufacture in 2015.
The main production areas and consumption areas are concentrated in the United States and European. US and Europe consumption is about 37.50% and 33.26%. The market is mature and stable. Chinas consumer market share continues to expand. The United States is the worlds largest export country, China is still depends on import.

The global demand for Central heating boiler Water Treatment Chemicals is primarily driven by growing necessity for power generation. These challenges might be offset by using boiler mineral water treatment chemicals.

This ends up with the drastic reduction in temperature transfer capabilities, which further triggers overheating, tube failure, and lack of efficiency. You may input voltage, resistance, and other parameters to guage the efficiency and safety within your device.

Treating the water that circulates within the boiler is important for right functioning. Use of high-pressure boilers in the food and beverage industry for processes just like cleaning, processing, distillation, and fermentation in addition drive the demand for these kind of chemicals. Untreated water is more likely to form scales on the heat transfer surfaces once the water is heated. Those components heat up in addition

These impurities will be dissolved solids, dissolved gases, and suspended matter, which may bring about major problems such as scaling and also deposition, corrosion, and boiler h2o carry-on. A boiler is a closed vessel through which water is converted into steam considering the application of heat under stress
