Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades

Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades

Visually enriched with over 250 photographs and drawings Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades is an essential reference guide for understanding the types and functions of double-skin façades. Author Mary Ben Bonham examines the history and continuing potential of double-skin architecture informing on the variety of approaches possible and advising a rigorous integrated design process leading to application. Featuring a wide selection of architectural examples the book will be of interest to professionals and students within the fields of architecture engineering and construction. Characterized by a buffer-like air space between two glazed building skins double-skin windows and façades aim to improve building comfort and energy performance. Double skins introduce complexity and initial costs yet significant buildings in locations around the globe continue to select this approach. In addition to exploring motivations benefits and cautions for designing with double skins the book provides a primer on fundamental façade design concepts and strategies for control of thermal luminous and acoustic environments. Chapters also address alternative types of high-performance façades and implications for each phase of façade design and construction. Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades promotes bioclimatic design that is inspired by nature measured in performance and uniquely adapted to climate and place.

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

In this classic work the author presents and develops his theory of the importance of 'the Skin-ego'. Just as the skin is wrapped around the body so the author sees the 'Skin-ego' as a psychical wrapping containing defining and consolidating the subject. From this perspective the structure and functions of the skin can provide psychoanalysts and general readers with a fertile and practical metaphor. The author's concept of the Skin-ego is the answer to questions he regards as crucial to contemporary psychoanalysis: questions of topography which were left incomplete by Freud; the analysis of fantasies of the container as of the contained; issues of touch between mothers and babies; extending the concept of prohibitions within an Oedipal framework to those derived from a prohibition on touching; and questions pertaining to the representation of the body and to its psychoanalytic setting. This new translation of Le Moi-peau is based on the second and last (1995) edition. | The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

Active and Programmable Networks for Adaptive Architectures and Services

Active and Programmable Networks for Adaptive Architectures and Services

Most conventional networks are passive with only basic traffic monitoring management routing and congestion control. At best they can be called reactive. Deploying new functions and integrating new standards into these architectures is difficult due to the rigid embedding of software and hardware into the network components. Active and Programmable Networks for Adaptive Architectures and Services introduces a new generation of network technologies and architecture that allows the creation customization and management of new services and applications deployed dynamically into network nodes. Following a brief introduction and historical overview the author outlines the architecture of active and programmable networks discusses the enabling technologies for network programmability in detail and introduces several paradigms and prototypes. He then explores packet scheduling management routing and security and examines active wireless and mobile networks. The final chapter presents several real-world examples of currently deployed active and programmable networks. Several tables present information on different schemes and architectures allowing easy comparison among a range of networking options. Placing the new paradigm in contrast with concepts such as TCP/IP and OSI Active and Programmable Networks for Adaptive Architectures and Services makes it easy to see how these new technologies can help you build more flexible and adaptive networks that can seamlessly integrate new functions.

Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

The aim of this book is to show the potential of natural hydrocolloids and active agents to develop sustainable edible packaging materials for food preservation. For this the current and future sources of natural hydrocolloids have been reviewed along with their extraction methods impact on health and ability to form different packaging such as film casing coating mat pad etc. Similarly natural active compounds were evaluated carefully considering their sources extraction methods regulatory status and compatibility with edible packaging. The book emphasizes the recent developments in methods strategies and technologies employed to enhance the performance of antimicrobial antioxidant and bioactive packaging. The basic testing methods used to evaluate antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of edible packaging in model media and food were discussed and carefully selected example active edible packaging applications for different food categories were provided with critical details such as the thin balance between effectiveness of packaging and sensory properties of food. As such it helps in understanding necessary parameters in designing an effective active edible packaging that is applicable to the target food category. Moreover readers are primed for the first time on how to develop a fully natural antimicrobial antioxidant or bioactive edible food packaging. This book is different from most of the similar books' avail as it provides neither methodologies about classical active packaging based on chemicals and fossil polymeric films nor is it a thorough collection of different food packaging applications. It is also not a book that concentrates on physicochemical characterization methods and engineering aspects of packaging. Instead this is a book that provides systematic knowledge about key methods of evaluating natural resources agro-industrial wastes and by-products for development of edible packaging and concentrates on concepts strategies technologies and applications of active edible packaging based solely on natural components. It is designed to share both positive and negative experiences in an emerging field that is expected to play a central role in improving food safety and quality human health and environmentally friendly practices. | Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

Advanced Skin Cancer A Case-Based Approach

Advanced Skin Cancer A Case-Based Approach

Advanced skin cancer is one that has already metastasized beyond its primary origin or one that has invaded underlying tissues such that surgical resection either is technically impossible or would lead to an unacceptable functional or cosmetic outcome. These skin cancers present a complex problem that requires the input of multiple specialties to delineate the best management plan. National guidelines utilize the best available data to guide management decisions. However there is considerable leeway within the guidelines enabling the ultimate care decision to be molded to best fit each individual patient. This book aims to provide instructional examples of patient cases where the input of the multidisciplinary team is critical in providing the most suitable care plan for the patient.

Working Schemes? Active Labour Market Policy in Ireland

Working Schemes? Active Labour Market Policy in Ireland

Published in 1997 this book is an examination of the Irish experience with active labour market policy. This text looks at training in comparison with employment programmes and examines this in the context of strong and weak market orientation. The study is based on a survey which is used to analyze the effect of programme participation on short and long-term employment prospects and on income. The results show that market-orientation is a significant factor in employment scheme success a factor that has not been taken into account in recent policy changes. The book also points out the applications of this sort of study in other European countries. | Working Schemes? Active Labour Market Policy in Ireland
