Energy Resilient Buildings and Communities A Practical Guide

Energy Resilient Buildings and Communities A Practical Guide

This book is written as a practical guide to those interested in the pursuit of energy resilience at a local scale. Energy resilience is defined as the relative ability of an institution to carry out its mission during a shock to the energy system and approach the concept on the level of a single site occupied by a single community or institution. Examples are drawn from four key community types: military bases healthcare campuses educational campuses and municipal governments. The book then describes a framework for developing an energy resilience plan that applies to each. While the focus is clearly on the United States understanding the energy resilience threat and conducting long-range energy resilience planning will benefit communities all over the globe. Divided into three main parts Part One describes the specific energy security threats that are facing local institutions and communities and how an energy shock can affect the mission at each of the four community types and the advantages that each will enjoy in their pursuit of energy resilience. Part Two provides concrete guidance for pursuing energy resilience at a particular institution and allows managers to assess where their institution lies on the energy resilience spectrum and plot a course toward where they would like to be. Part Three describes the three main areas of energy resilience performance: energy efficiency on-site generation and emergency planning. Case studies are also provided. | Energy Resilient Buildings and Communities A Practical Guide

A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Desalination

A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Desalination

Although more than 70% of the globe is covered with water only a small portion is suitable for direct human use making the scarcity of freshwater one of our plant's most serious challenges. In this context desalination defined as the removal of salt from water is one of the possible solutions for overcoming our planet's municipal and industrial thirst. By drawing upon the authoritative expertise of a remarkable team of international authors this book aims to provide an encompassing and multidisciplinary introduction to various aspects of desalination. The forte of this publication is that it does not overtly focus on a particular sub-topic of desalination but rather addresses the topic as a whole. In other words the unique assortment of reader-friendly chapters is designed to strike a delicate balance between the technical and non-technical. The book is divided into five general sections:The first section presents an overview of water scarcity followed by a review of integrated water management and the alternatives to desalination. The fundamentals of desalination are provided including simple water chemistry;The second section covers the conventional technologies of today including thermal and membrane desalination processes. The topics of pre- and post- treatment are given due credit as no desalination plant can operate without them;The third section reviews the history of how desalination technologies originated including a review of today's R&D activities and cutting edge research. The processes and engineering applied for membrane manufacturing are also presented;Section four is concerned with energy and environmental issues including the application of renewable and nuclear energy minimization of energy usage and the water-energy-nexus brine management and environmental impacts;Finally section five covers the social and commercial issues ranging from rural desalination to the politics of desalination. Desalination costs and feasibility are presented as well as issues in business development and the future market prospects. Effectively A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Desalination aims to be a holistic go-to-compendium for anyone seeking a balanced understanding of the various facets of desalination

6G Visions for a Sustainable and People-centric Future From Communications to Services the CONASENSE Perspective

6G Visions for a Sustainable and People-centric Future From Communications to Services the CONASENSE Perspective

6G is currently under definition being often addressed from a plain telecommunications perspective as an evolutionary paradigm that represents an extension of 5G. Having as a horizon 2030 6G initiatives are being deployed across the globe to further ignite the development of 6G services. At its philosophical core 6G embodies the human in the loop principle. The research effort being developed towards 6G requires an interdisciplinary approach that ignites discussion across different key technological sectors ranging from communications up to services and business cases. The contributions of this book to research in the field concern an evolutionary and interdisciplinary design of 6G as a paradigm that can be addressed by working together four different computational areas: communications; satellites and navigation; sensing; services. The book is derived from initial brainstorming that was developed during the 11th CONASENSE Symposium held in October 2021 in fortiss Munich Germany. Several international experts contribute to an overview of 6G key challenges new networking trends and challenges to be overcome and advanced 6G services. The book starts with a perspective on 6G challenges and use-cases beyond the 2030 horizon to then continue to address the role of non-terrestrial networks and cognitive service-centric satellite networks in future 6G services. Still with focus on 6G adaptive networking the book continues with a debate on the need to integrate social awareness based on an interdisciplinary approach in network operations. Then specific examples of advanced services (quantum imaging and holography; localization of the Internet of remote things) are discussed. The book is therefore intended to assist in developing critical thinking to back up novel networking applications and services towards 6G. | 6G Visions for a Sustainable and People-centric Future From Communications to Services the CONASENSE Perspective

Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Many scientific and real-world problems that occur in science engineering and medicine can be represented in differential equations. There is a vital role for differential equations in studying the behavior of different types of real-world problems. Thus it becomes crucial to know the existence and uniqueness properties of differential equations and various methods of finding differential equation solutions in explicit form. It is also essential to know different kinds of differential equations in terms of eigenvalues termed eigenvalue problems and some special functions used in finding the solution to differential equations. The study of nonlinear problems also plays a significant role in different real-world situations. There is a necessity to know the behavior of solutions of nonlinear differential equations. Still there are very few forms of differential equations whose solution can be found in explicit form. For the differential equations whose solutions cannot be found in explicit form one has to study the properties of solutions of the given differential equation to guess an approximate solution of it. This book aims to introduce all the necessary topics of differential equations in one book so that laymen can easily understand the subject and apply it in their research areas. The novel approach used in this book is the introduction of different analytical methods for finding the solution of differential equations with sufficient theorems corollaries and examples and the geometrical interpretations in each topic. This textbook is intended to study the theory and methods of finding the explicit solutions to differential equations wherever possible and in the absence of finding explicit solutions it is intended to study the properties of solutions to the given differential equations. This book is based on syllabi of the theory of differential equations prescribed for postgraduate students of mathematics and applied mathematics in different institutions and universities of India and abroad. This book will be helpful for competitive examinations as well. | Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach
