Sustainable Light Concrete Structures
Presents new technologies for easy and economical construction of light concrete structures saving materials and CO2. The new super-light technology allows a designer to place forces, where it is optimal, and save material everywhere else. The book also supports this “Direct Engineering” principle with a number of new details and structural principles. The new pearl-chain technology makes it possible to design optimal shapes such as arches, vaults, cupolas, floating tunnels, and shells etc. from inexpensive, and mass-produced components. The new super-light deck-elements presented in the book are now produced in six factories in Denmark, Finland, and USA, and the number is increasing. The book will be of interest for all structural engineers, who would like to save materials, CO2 and optimize their structures, for students learning about the new technologies, and for contractors and architects, who want to investigate new building technologies.
Sustainable Development and Environmental Management : Experience and case studies
Presents the new EU approach to environmental management and its attempt to place it in the perspective of sustainable development. China and other large and fast growing economies are putting increasing pressures on global environment, but they are also looking at the European experience with great interest. To present critically this experience can help those countries avoid the mistakes made by developed countries in dealing with the relation between economic growth and environmental protection, and to improve the institutions and tools for better environmental governance.The variety of issues covered and the wide approach used in this book make it a useful tool for readers who want to place themselves in this perspective, although starting from different backgrounds and levels of knowledge on environmental and sustainability sciences.

SUPERSUIT : Poetic Interventions in Urban Spaces
The increasing accumulation of people in historyless living machines, the challenges posed by migration and a lack of space update the need for new thinking and action in public spaces. SUPERSUIT is an interdisciplinary experiment on the border between human and space. It is a tool for poetic interventions in different urban situations, invites participation and questions the relationship between people, space and city in a sensual way. As a marker of public space, the spontaneously emerging forms of the SUPERSUIT respond directly to the parameters of the urban context. SUPERSUIT enables the change of current design processes and the conception of new human-material constellations via performative interventions
Sunscreen contain extract of Olive leaves
Sunburn is erythema and oedema from excessive exposure to the sun's rays, more specifically the ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted from the sun. In addition, using chemical sunscreen may contribute to various health issues. To address this pressing issue, we aimed to assess public awareness of chemicals in sunscreen among Syrians using an online survey and to mitigate the negative effects of chemicals, we proposed an innovative formula of natural sunscreen made of olive leaf extract (OLE), which is rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phenolic compounds...
Successful Science and Engineering Teaching : Theoretical and Learning Perspectives
Describes how a professor can provide a learning environment that assists students to come to grips with the nature of science and engineering, to understand science and engineering concepts, and to solve problems in science and engineering courses. As such, this book is intended to be useful for any science or engineering professor, who wants to change their course to include more effective teaching methods, to instructors at post-secondary institutions, who are beginning their careers, and as a handbook for TA’s. Since the book is based upon articles that I have had published in Science Educational Research and which are grounded in educational research that I have performed (both quantitative and qualitative) over many years, it will also be of interest to anyone engaged in research into teaching science and engineering at the post-secondary level.
Sub-threshold Design for Ultra-Low Power Systems
Although energy dissipation has improved with each new technology node, because SoCs are integrating tens of million devices on-chip, the energy ex pended per operation has become a critical consideration in digital and ana log integrated circuits. The focus of this book is sub-threshold circuit design, which involves scaling voltages below the device thresholds.
Structure for architects : A case Study in steel, wood, and reinforced concrete design
Focuses on structural principles applied to the design of typical structural members—a beam, a girder, and a column—in a diagrammatic frame building. Through the application of a single Case Study across three key materials, the book illustrates the theory, principles, and process of structural design. The Case Study progresses step-by-step for each material, from determining tributary areas and loads through a member's selection and design.
Strategy vs Tragedy in the Crown Era
Tragedy the world is now experiencing its third major epidemic of coronavirus infections. The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, has quickly become a threat to the public health and economy worldwide. As of July 2020, more than 15 million people worldwide have been infected with SARS CoV-2, and COVID-19 has led to more than 600 000 deaths. Strategy currently, there is no specific therapeutic drugs targeting the SARS-CoV-2 and no specific therapeutic agents had demonstrated efficacy in treating patients with COVID-19. Until then, “repurposed” drugs that have been approved for other indications are being used to treat COVID-19 patients. Nevertheless, the efficacy of these treatment regimens remains to be verified by appropriately designed clinical trials.

Solving Algebraic Computational Problems in Geodesy and Geoinformatics : The Answer to Modern Challenges
Algebraic c- putational algorithms useful for solving problems which require exact solutions to nonlinear systems of equations are presented and tested on various problems. Though the present book focuses mainly on the two?elds, theconceptsand techniquespresented hereinarenonetheless- plicable to other?elds where algebraic computational problems might be encountered. In Engineering for example, network densi?cation and robotics apply resection and intersection techniques which require - gebraic solutions. Solution of nonlinear systems of equations is an indispensable task in almost all geosciences such as geodesy, geoinformatics, geophysics (just to mention but a few) as well as robotics. These equations which require exact solutions underpin the operations of ranging, resection, intersection and other techniques that are normally used.
Solid-State Fermentation Bioreactors : Fundamentals of Design and Operation
Although solid-state fermentation (SSF) has been practiced for many centuries in the preparation of traditional fermented foods, its application to newer products within the framework of modern biotechnology is relatively restricted. It was c- sidered for the production of enzymes in the early 1900s and for the production of penicillin in the 1940s, but interest in SSF waned with the advances in submerged liquid fermentation (SLF) technology. The current dominance of SLF is not s- prising: For the majority of fermentation products, it gives better yields and is e- ier to apply. It is notoriously difficult to control the fermentation conditions in SSF; these difficulties are already apparent at small scale in the laboratory and are exacerbated with increase in scale.

Software networks : Virtualization, SDN, 5G, and security ; 2nd ed.
Describes how to create and delete virtual networks on the fly. Indeed, the system is able to create any new network with any kind of virtual resource (e.g. switches, routers, LSRs, optical paths, firewalls, SIP-based servers, devices, servers, access points, etc.). Software Networks shows how this architecture is compatible with new advances in SDN (Software Defined Networking), new high-speed transport protocols such as TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) and LISP (Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol), NGN, IMS, new generation Wi-Fi, and 4G/5G networks. Finally, the author introduces Clouds of security and the virtualization of secure elements (smartcards) that could certainly transform how to secure the Internet.
