Solar Chimney Power Plants: Numerical Investigations and Experimental Validation summarizes the effect of the geometrical parameters of a solar chimney on the airflow behavior inside a solar chimney power plant. Chapters in this experimental handbook are presented in two parts with the goal of equipping readers with the information necessary to study and determine key factors which affect the performance of the solar chimney power plant.In the first part, the authors present a simulation developed by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling software ANSYS Fluent to model the airflow. The adopted CFD models include k-ɛ turbulence model, the DO radiation model and the convection heat flux transfer model. These models have been validated with anterior experimental results.In the second part, the simulated models are then tested with alternate geometric configurations of the solar chimney power plant. The numerical studies allow readers to consider ways to expand on the design optimizing of the solar chimney when constructing a prototype. Geometrical parameters include the height, the diameter of the chimney and the dimensions of the solar collector and their effect on the temperature and air pressure is documented to validate models used for experimental simulations.The handbook also includes a study of an experimental prototype, constructed at ENIS. The researchers have gathered data on the environmental temperature, distribution of the temperature, air velocity and the power output generated by the turbine, the solar radiation and the gap of temperature in the collector of the prototype.

Nanoscience is a multidisciplinary area of science which enables researchers to create tools that help in understanding the mechanisms related to the interactions between nanomaterials and biomolecules (nanotechnology). Nanomaterials represent nanotechnology products. These products have an enormous impact on technical industries and the quality of human life. Nanomaterials directly or indirectly have to interact with biosystems. It is, therefore, essential to understand the beneficial and harmful interactions of nanomaterials with and within a biosystem, especially with reference to humans. This book provides primary and advanced information concerning the interactions between nanomaterials and the components of a typical biosystem to readers. Chapters in the book cover, in a topic-based approach, the many facets of nanomolecular interactions with biological molecules and systems that influence their behavior, bioavailability and biocompatibility (including nucleic acids, cell membranes, tissues, enzymes and antibodies). A note on the applications of nanomaterials is also presented in the conclusion of the book to illustrate the usefulness of this class of materials. The contents of the book will benefit students, researchers, and technicians involved in the fields of biological sciences, such as cell biology, medicine, molecular biology, food technology, cosmetology, pharmacology, biotechnology, and environmental sciences. The book also provides information for the material science personnel, enabling them to understand the basics of target-oriented nanomaterials design for specific objectives.

L'emergenza sanitaria del Covid ha messo in rilievo criticità e precarietà del nostro quotidiano; in che maniera risponde il design? Come affrontare le tensioni esistenti tra le solitudini tecnologiche dell¿individuo contemporaneo, e la materia viva del pianeta, ferito a morte dall¿economia capitalista? Domande che scorrono tra le pagine di questo libro nel tentativo di accordare il mondo del progetto con le ineludibili questioni del nostro tempo. Una mappatura di spazi, esperienze, visioni unite dall¿obiettivo comune di creare altri mondi possibili sempre più necessari per la sopravvivenza del pianeta. Entra in gioco anche l¿azione politica vissuta come pratica/progetto attraverso cui I¿essere umano conferisce senso alla sua esistenza. Contro una riduzione del design a un¿analisi di risultati oggettuali su varia scala o come infrastruttura migliorativa dei contesti si dà vita a domande che interrogano nel profondo la natura di questa disciplina ridefinendo i confini e le implicazioni con altri ambiti. Le parole chiave per orientarsi in questo intreccio complesso di questioni sono: spazio pubblico, conoscenza, rivoluzione.

FAMA DE PISTOLEROMarcial Lafuente EstefaníaLady Valkyrie Colección Oeste(R)>...Y en el viejo y legendario Oeste, en una comarca plagada de forajidos y ventajistas, algunos conocerán, de primera mano, si la leyenda del "pacificador" es una exageración o una temible realidad... En el salvaje oeste Americano, también conocido como "far west" o "wild west", los vaqueros (cowboys) y los pistoleros (gunman) se repartían las aventuras a partes iguales siendo héroes y villanos, dependiendo de la zona y de la situación en la que se encontraban. Los famosos relatos sobre el viejo o lejano oeste coincidieron con la exploración de los territorios vírgenes del "oeste" Americano. El estilo de vida que tuvieron en el viejo oeste estaba ligado a la explotación de las minas, la crianza de ganado, y el cultivo de la tierra. Las ciudades del viejo oeste eran unas cuantas casas de madera, una tienda para comprar los artículos variados, varias cantinas (saloons), la oficina con cárcel del sheriff, una pequeña escuela, y a veces un local de oración. Era una época de violencia, donde es habitual el uso del plomo y de la cuerda, para solucionar todo tipo de problemas. Y un lugar en el que la justicia del ojo por ojo era la salsa de cada día, y donde el Colt era el instrumento favorito para solucionar problemas.

In a world where everyone has incredible Elemental abilities, from shooting fire to making plants grow, Pasin is remarkable in that she... can't. Labeled an "Absent" and raised in an orphanage, Pasin's life has been defined by this lack--lack of abilities, lack of parents, lack of support. The only escape she finds is through her writing. Her life changes on her sixteenth birthday when she is arrested in the marketplace, accused of disturbing the peace and causing bodily harm to bystanders, all after an altercation she cannot remember. Swept to the palace, Pasin is made a lady of the court and no one will tell her why--not Erise, the half-elf sword handler instrumental to Pasin's situation, nor Oramus, the king. Pasin is told not to ask questions. Why would she? Her life is so much better in Oramus's palace. And he seems to be taking an interest in her....She is given everything she could ever want--except answers.

"There are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." (Gospel of Saint John, final verse) You can discover much of those "many other things which Jesus did" in this unique compilation of ancient records and mystical revelations, which includes historical records of the lives of Jesus Christ and his Mother Mary that have been accepted and used by the Church since apostolic times. This treasury of little-known stories of Jesus' infancy, his sojourn in the Orient as recorded in the famous Ladakh Manuscript, and his passion, crucifixion, and resurrection, will broaden the reader's understanding of what Christianity really was in its original form: a far more vibrant and conscious movement than what we see today in its place. But this book is more than just a collection of ancient texts. Abbot George Burke's illuminating and scholarly commentary adds a further dimension and relevance, and will guide you to a deeper understanding of how, as he puts it, "to manifest the inner Christ that abides within us all." The Unknown Lives of Jesus and Mary includes the text and commentary on these early writings: The Protoevangelium Of Saint James The Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus and Mary The Gospel of the Nativity of Mary The History of Anna, The Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Gospel of Thomas The Infancy of the Savior The Ladakh Manuscript, a manuscript found in a Buddhist monastery in Tibet telling of Jesus' "Lost Years" and travels in India and Tibet The Gospel Of Nicodemus The Death of Pilate, Who Condemned Jesus The Narrative of Joseph The Book of John Concerning the Falling Asleep of Mary Miscellaneous Sources.

"Diversity, even religious diversity, has been God's intention from the beginning. No single religious understanding of God, even the one emerging from historic Christian tradition and biblical interpretation, exhausts the mystery of God. For this reason, Christian people must cultivate an openness to the perspectives of other religions about God. At the same time, they are called to share their own perspective about God with others, always maintaining an open and listening spirit in the midst of the dialogue"--
