Описание: Fresh perspectives on how good design can create stylish yet ecologically sound living spaces in small-scale homes. Anyone who has faced the challenges of limited living space will find inspiration in this survey of the latest trends in environmentally sensitive, small-scale residential designs. More than fifty residential spaces are profiled--from woodsy houses and repurposed barns to cool apartments and urban lofts--both inside and out. Most of the projects were designed by up-and-coming architects, and each design proves that small-scale efficiency as well as beautiful, thoughtful design can overcome the apparent constraints of a small setting. Environmental impact is a growing concern, so each project was chosen because of its ecological sensitivity. Each case history describes the challenges confronting the designer and the solutions. Creating color schemes to enhance the feeling of openness, taking advantage of high ceilings to make multiple levels, and using collapsible furniture and sliding doors to maximize space are some of the design solutions that can be applied in any situation. Filled with beautiful color photographs and helpful floorplans, this book is a remarkable showcase of how good design can transform any small space into a comfortable, modern--and environmentally sensitive--home.
A comprehensive tutorial on photovoltaic technology now fully updated to include solar storage and the latest methods for on-site plant measurements
Starting with the basic principles of solar energy, this fully updated, practical text explains the fundamentals of semiconductor physics and the structure and functioning of the solar cell. It describes the latest measurement techniques for solar modules, and the planning and operation of grid-connected and off-grid PV systems.
It also looks at other thin film cells, hybrid wafer cells, and concentrator systems. Additionally, this Second Edition covers solar modules and solar generators; system technology of grid connected plants; the storage of solar energy; photovoltaic measurement technology; the planning and operation of grid-connected systems; economic efficiency of PV systems; and the future development of PV.
Presents the latest advances in PV R&D and industry deployment
Updated illustrations and tabular data reflect current state-of-the-art and PV technology efficiencies
Offers expanded tutorial sections to aid teaching and self-study
Includes a brand-new chapter on Solar Energy Storage
Features two enlarged chapters--one on up-to-date photovoltaic metrology and the other on the future developments in photovoltaics
Comes along with the accompanying website www.textbook-pv.org which offers free downloadable figures of the book, solutions of exercises, additional free PV software etc.
Developed to prepare engineering students for the PV industry, this practical text is an essential PV primer.

Описание: A presentation of contemporary houses that demonstrates how domesticity can be beautiful and still help the planet.
Описание: This book explores the possibility of using micro/nanostructures formed on the doped ice surface as a novel separation platform. The physicochemical properties of FCSs are measured to reveal the nature of the ice/FCS interface, and the zeta potentials of ice are measured by determining EOF rates in a microchannel fabricated in the ice.
Engineering Physics of High Temperature Materials: Metals, Ice, Rocks and Ceramics addresses an issue that is universally acknowledged and documented - that is, what causes a material to deform and fail at high temperatures and, more importantly, what are the mechanisms involved in the deformation processes leading to failure. This applies to ice, glass, ceramics, rocks and complex high-temperature alloys, including single crystals, used in gas-turbine engines.
Volume highlights include:
Experimental and theoretical studies on temperature-microstructure dependent delayed-elasticity (used to be called 'anelasticity') at high homologous temperature that has ready applications to the analysis of lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) temperature regime inferred from seismic velocities
Establishes the facts that engineering physics of polycrystalline ice and ice sheets, floating on their own melt, hence at extremely high homologous temperatures, are analogous to Earth's Asthenosphere and complex engineering materials like metallic alloys and ceramics used at high temperatures > 0.4Tm, where Tm is the melting point
Presents and emphasizes the fundamental grain-scale and lattice-scale (dislocations slip, climb and pileups) microstructural and micromechanical similarities of apparently different materials, such as metals, metallic alloys, ice, rocks and ceramics
Development of novel experimental technique, 'Strain Relaxation and Recovery Test (SRRT)' for characterization of the pivotal, yet neglected, role of delayed elasticity in shaping the primary creep, and nucleation and multiplication of grain-boundary cracks during this period
Development of 'Elasto-Delayed Elastic-Viscous (EDEV) equation that offers unified mathematical and physical descriptions of the (a) shapes of 'constant-stress creep curve' (primary, transitional minimum creep rate and tertiary), (b) 'constant strain-rate stress-strain curve' and (c) 'constant-strain stress relaxation'
Engineering Physics of High Temperature Materials is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of crystallography, mineralogy, petrology, structural geology, metamorphic geology, geophysics, glaciology, tectonics, engineering, mechanics, thermodynamics, high-temperature deformation, physics, metallurgy, ceramics, alloys, and material sciences.

Описание: Housing is rapidly having to adapt to the global changes of the twenty first century. This book examines the residential design trends that have arisen in response to these challenges.
Описание: Showcasing one hundred years of innovation and environmental sensitivity, Handmade Houses celebrates some of the world’s most idiosyncratic homes from Big Sur to Sardinia. Author Richard Olsen unveils the components used for their construction, including driftwood, boulders, and even old wine vats.
The first study of the handmade-homes phenomenon since its inception in the late 1960s, Handmade Houses revisits the subject’s roots and history, exploring how these homes and their owners paved the way for the architectural-salvage business and the reclaimed, industrial look ever-popular today. As fascinating as the structures are themselves, their owners—professionals and amateurs who personally designed and built each residence—offer their inspirations and stories behind the convention-defying homes. Design lessons are gleaned from each home—some examples of environmentally aware construction with applicable tips for use in more mainstream scenarios. Handmade Houses is an important and relevant volume to be appreciated by anyone interested in environmentally friendly design, craft, and the expression of personal style in the home.
