This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the use of solid‐liquid phase change materials to store significant amounts of energy in the latent heat of fusion. The proper selection of materials for different applications is covered in detail, as is the use of high conductivity additives to enhance thermal diffusivity. Dr. Fleischer explores how applications of PCMS have expanded over t…
This Brief reviews contemporary research conducted in university and industry laboratories on thermal management in electrochemical energy storage systems (capacitors and batteries) that have been widely used as power sources in many practical applications, such as automobiles, hybrid transport, renewable energy installations, power backup and electronic devices. Placing a particular emphasis o…
This volume of essays focuses on films of the so-called ‘quinqui’ genre, films created during the 1970s–1980s depicting the lives of young criminals from the outskirts of Spanish cities, that arose/spread during the uncertain transitional period in a Spain moving from a dictatorship to a democracy. The ‘quinqui’ films, produced and released on a shoestring budget, were nonetheless imm…
Setiap pengulangan konflik budaya kuno antara masa lalu dan masa kini menyiratkan kronosentrisme deiktik yang praktis tidak dapat dihilangkan dan intrinsik, dipahami sebagai absolutisme egosentris pada zamannya, seolah-olah itu adalah satu-satunya di mana nilai-nilai berubah, dan seolah-olah tidak ada yang lain.transformasi zaman terjadi, hidup kurang lebih seperti itu, jika bukan sebagai "muta…
Buku ini merupakan produk dari konferensi yang diadakan di Universitas Hohenheim pada bulan September 2015, yang mempertemukan lima konsorsium penelitian European Framework Programme 7 untuk melaporkan hasil kerja mereka selama 5 tahun sebelumnya. Penelitian ini dimulai sebagai pengakuan atas kebutuhan Eropa akan biomassa yang diproduksi secara berkelanjutan untuk mendukung tujuan strategis Ero…
Cementitious materials are being widely used as solidification/stabilisation and barrier materials for a variety of chemical and radioactive wastes, primarily due to their favourable retention properties for metals, radionuclides and other contaminants. The retention properties result from various mineral phases in hydrated cement that possess a high density and diversity of reactive sites for …
This book provides an overview of the surface effects at the interface boundary of metal/sand moulds, and their influence on the surface quality, microstructure and mechanical and anticorrosive properties of high-quality cast iron. It explores utilitarian aspects of the production of high-quality cast iron castings, including thin-walled castings of high-quality cast iron alloys, and examines p…
This book brings together contributions from global experts who have helped to facilitate the exciting and rapid advances that are taking place in microbial metabolomics. The main application of this field is in clinical and veterinary microbiology, but there is a great potential to apply metabolomics to help to better understand complex biological systems that are dominated by multiple-species…
Based on new information obtained on free microjets, this book explains the latest phenomena in flame evolution in the presence of a transverse acoustic field with round and plane propane microjet combustion. It gives an overview of recent experimental results on instability and dynamics of jets at low Reynolds numbers and provides the reader, step by step, with the milestones and recent advanc…
Selama lima tahun terakhir, kekhawatiran yang meluas tentang dampak media sosial terhadap demokrasi telah menyebabkan ledakan dalam penelitian dari berbagai disiplin ilmu dan sudut akademisi.Selain itu, buku ini mengkaji proposal reformasi yang ada untuk mengatasi ancaman yang dirasakan secara luas yang ditimbulkan oleh media sosial terhadap demokrasi.
