The Component A Personal Odyssey towards Another Normal

The Component: A Personal Odyssey towards Another Normal is the Oosterhuis' personal account of four decades of architectural and societal thinking designing building and theorizing. It is an orchestrated yet non-linear series of subjects all leading toward the creation of a parallel world called Another Normal. Another Normal is as of now a hypothetical parallel world. Nomadic international citizens are the inhabitants of Another Normal. Urged by the climate crisis the food energy and water nexus and the COVID-19 pandemic Another Normal demonstrates the inevitable data-driven techno-social architecture of the physically built environment and the metaverse. Besides robotic production on demand of almost anything – when where and as needed – Oosterhuis' proposes a dozen strategies that run in parallel to establish Another Normal among others: ubiquitous basic income global birthright to own a generous piece of land distributed production of healthy food clean energy and drinking water ownership of private data and personal avatars in the Web 3. 0 autonomous electronic transportation ubiquitous shared responsibility for clean production and waste treatment techniques ubiquitous home delivery working from anywhere for any period of time and decentralized real-time peer to peer banking. The organic real and the synthetic hyper-real co-evolve naturally in Another Normal where a mix of strong and simple legislative planning and design rules create complexity diversity fairness and equality. | The Component A Personal Odyssey towards Another Normal

An Introduction to Tensor Analysis

The subject of Tensor Analysis deals with the problem of the formulation of the relation between various entities in forms which remain invariant when we pass from one system of coordinates to another. The invariant form of equation is necessarily related to the possible system of coordinates with reference to which the equation remains invariant. The primary purpose of this book is the study of the invariance form of equation relative to the totally of the rectangular co-ordinate system in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. We start with the consideration of the way the sets representing various entities are transformed when we pass from one system of rectangular co-ordinates to another. A Tensor may be a physical entity that can be described as a Tensor only with respect to the manner of its representation by means of multi-sux sets associated with different system of axes such that the sets associated with different system of co-ordinate obey the transformation law for Tensor. We have employed sux notation for tensors of any order we could also employ single letter such A B to denote Tensors. | An Introduction to Tensor Analysis

Water Poverty The Next “Oil” Crisis

A water crisis on our immediate horizon is destined to hurt even kill millions of children and the window of opportunity to do something about it is rapidly closing. There is however a glimmer of hope that could turn into rays of sunshine. Water is a commodity and we have just come through some painful times dealing with the shortage of another commodity—energy. For those who lived through the energy crisis this book offers a brief trip down memory lane. | Water Poverty The Next “Oil” Crisis

Innovation and ICT in Education The Diversity of the 21st Century Classroom

The adequate integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in educational and training processes is one of the biggest current challenges in education. The classroom of the present is very different from just a few decades ago new technological tools are completely transforming its characteristics and activities. This internationally authored book offers a timely effective and practical vision of this new educational scenario. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach in looking at the problems and possible solutions that are faced by the educational professional of the 21st century when by necessity or obligation they face the use of ICT in their daily tasks. Divided into two parts one theoretical and another practical this book offers the highlights of the most important lines of research that are being developed today in educational technology and importantly presents the innovations which have had the most impact over recent years. From the profound transformations in the physical classroom to everything that involves new virtual scenarios where online teaching requires innovative strategies and training processes this book describes the diverse scenarios that ICT has generated and will continue to generate in the field of education. It presents a new and a very different type of education that can be adapted to the needs of the citizen of the digital society. | Innovation and ICT in Education The Diversity of the 21st Century Classroom

Electronic Devices and Circuit Fundamentals

This book explores many fundamental topics in a basic and easy-to-understand manner. It and the accompanying DC-AC Electrical Fundamentals by the same co-authors have been developed using a classic textbook – Electricity and Electronics: A Survey (5th Edition) by Patrick and Fardo – as a framework. Both new books have been structured using the same basic sequence and organization of the textbook as previous editions. This book has been expanded to 23 chapters further simplifying content and providing a more comprehensive coverage of fundamental content. The content has been continually updated and revised through new editions and by external reviewers throughout the years. Additional quality checks to ensure technical accuracy clarity and coverage of content have always been an area of focus. Each edition of the text has been improved through the following features: Improved and updated text content. Improved usage of illustrations and photos. Use of color to add emphasis and clarify content. | Electronic Devices and Circuit Fundamentals

Coiled Tubing and Other Stimulation Techniques Formation Damage Well Stimulation Techniques for Production Enhancement

Good engineers never stop looking for opportunities to improve the performance of their production systems. Performance enhancement methods are always carefully examined and production data is analyzed in order to identify determining factors affecting performance. The two main activities of the production engineer in the petroleum and related industries are reservoir stimulation and artificial lift. The classic solution to maximizing a well's productivity is to stimulate it. The basis for selecting stimulation candidates should be a review of the well's actual and theoretical IPR. Low permeability wells often need fracturing on initial completion. In low permeability zones additional post stimulation production can be significant to the economics however the production engineer needs to make management aware of the true long term potential or else overly optimistic projections can easily be made. The main purpose of stimulation is to enhance the property value by the faster delivery of the petroleum fluid and/or to increase ultimate economic recovery. The aim of reservoir stimulation is to bypass near-wellbore damage and return a well to its “natural” productivity / injectivity to extend a conductive path deep into a formation and thus increase productivity beyond the natural level and to produce hydrocarbon from tight formation. The importance of reservoir stimulation is increasing due to following reasons: • Hydrocarbon fields in their mid-life• Production in these fields are in declining trend• The thrust area: Enhancement of productionHence to improve productivity of the well matrix stimulation and hydraulic fracturing are intended to remedy or even improve the natural connection of the wellbore with the reservoir which could delay the need for artificial lift. This book presents procedures taken in the Oil & Gas Industry for identifying well problems and it suggests means of solving problems with the help of the Coil Tube unit which is used for improving well productivity and techniques like Acidizing and Hydraulic Fracturing. | Coiled Tubing and Other Stimulation Techniques Formation Damage Well Stimulation Techniques for Production Enhancement
