Future Cities: Designing Better, Smarter, More Sustainable and Secure Cities

BookSurge Publishing, 2009

In Future Cities, three authors - futurists, urban experts and systems architects - consider how the demands of the 21st Century will reshape the places where half of the world's population lives. From the history of urban development to the challenges of climate change and terrorism, they show how technology advances have shaped cities...

Enabling Sustainable Energy Transitions: Practices of legitimation and accountable governance

Palgrave Macmillan, 2019

This open access book reframes sustainable energy transitions as being a matter of resolving accountability crises. It demonstrates how the empirical study of several practices of legitimation can analytically deconstruct energy transitions, and presents a typology of these practices to help determine whether energy...

Advances in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (Signals and Communication Technology)

Springer, 2008

Wireless ad hoc networks, mobile or static, have special resource requirements and topology features, which make them different from classic computer networks in resource management, routing, media access control, and QoS provisioning. Some of our day-to-day situations directly relate to ad hoc wireless network applications, such as...

Good Green Homes

Gibbs Smith, 2003

Green. It conjures images of a meadow in spring for some, and the color of money for others. What does "green" have to do with our homes? In essence, green building-or sustainable building-means being smart about how we use energy, water, and building materials so that we can live well without needlessly damaging the environment....

Computing Networks: From Cluster to Cloud Computing (ISTE)

John Wiley & Sons, 2011

“Computing Networks” explores the core of the new distributed computing infrastructures we are using today: the networking systems of clusters, grids and clouds. It helps network designers and distributed-application developers and users to better understand the technologies, specificities, constraints and benefits of these...

Formation Testing: Pressure Transient and Contamination Analysis

John Wiley & Sons, 2014

Traditional well logging methods, such as resistivity, acoustic, nuclear and NMR, provide indirect information related to fluid and formation properties. The “formation tester,” offered in wireline and MWD/LWD operations, is different. It collects actual downhole fluid samples for surface analysis, and through...

Advanced DC/AC Inverters: Applications in Renewable Energy (Power Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Energy, and Nanotechnology)

CRC Press, 2013

DC/AC inversion technology is of vital importance for industrial applications, including electrical vehicles and renewable energy systems, which require a large number of inverters. In recent years, inversion technology has developed rapidly, with new topologies improving the power factor and increasing power efficiency. Proposing many novel...

Mass Dimension One Fermions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

In 2005, Dharam Ahluwalia and Daniel Grumiller reported an unexpected theoretical discovery of mass dimension one fermions. These are an entirely new class of spin one half particles, and because of their mass dimensionality mismatch with the standard model fermions they are a first-principle dark matter candidate. Written by one of the...

Introduction to Supercritical Fluids, Volume 4: A Spreadsheet-based Approach (Supercritical Fluid Science and Technology)

Elsevier Limited, 2013

This text provides an introduction to supercritical fluids with easy-to-use Excel spreadsheets suitable for both specialized-discipline (chemistry or chemical engineering student) and mixed-discipline (engineering/economic student) classes. Each chapter contains worked examples, tip boxes and end-of-the-chapter problems and projects.

Process Improvement for Effective Budgeting and Financial Reporting

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

"The budget and financial reporting processes are well known sources of frustration for most CFOs. Seeking a quick fix to the problem, the common solution is to pour more money into new and better software. This leaves the root cause, the inefficient and dysfunctional underlying processes and routines, unaddressed. As this book shows,...

Victorian Poetry: Poetry, Poetics and Politics (Routledge Critical History of Victorian Poetry)

Routledge, 1996

To my mind Armstrong's book makes its contribution to the study of Victorian Literature in two key ways. I expect I will return often to her very sophistocated consideration of that old chesnut, the Victorian crystallization of lyric subjectivity in a political-poetical dramaturgy of self-spectatorship. And I find an extraordinary resonance in her...

Semi-active Suspension Control: Improved Vehicle Ride and Road Friendliness

Springer, 2008

Semi-active Suspension Control provides an overview of vehicle ride control employing smart semi-active damping systems (controlled dissipative elements which only require low energy input). These systems are able to tune the amount of damping in response to measured vehicle-ride and handling indicators.

Two physically...
