Entwicklung und Planung verfahrenstechnischer Anlagen (VDI-Buch)
by Siegfried Ripperger Kai NikolausDieses Fachbuch vermittelt wesentliche Grundlagen für die Entwicklung und Planung verfahrenstechnischer Anlagen, bei der technische, betriebliche, wirtschaftliche und rechtliche Forderungen beachtet werden müssen. Nach einer Einführung in die Anlagentechnik und das Projektmanagement werden wirtschaftliche Aspekte betrachtet, da die notwendigen finanziellen Mittel für eine Anlage in der Regel durch den zu erwartenden wirtschaftlichen Nutzeffekt gerechtfertigt werden. Verfahrenstechnische Anlagen sind oft einzigartig. Um dennoch eine zügige Projektabwicklung zu gewährleisten und um Kosten zu senken kommt der Modularisierung eine immer größere Bedeutung zu. Daher ist diesem Trend ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in das technische Recht werden zu beachtende rechtliche Aspekte behandelt. Weitere Kapitel beschreiben die Rolle der Normung, die große Palette der verwendeten Werkstoffe sowie bekannte Regeln zur Dimensionierung und Gestaltung von Bauelementen der Apparate.
Entwicklung und Validierung einer Prüfsystematik zur Charakterisierung von additiv gefertigten Thermoplast-Leichtbaustrukturen (Werkstofftechnische Berichte │ Reports of Materials Science and Engineering)
by Patrick StriemannDieses Buch befasst sich mit der Charakterisierung von additiv gefertigten Thermoplast-Leichtbaustrukturen. Die prozessbedingten Eigenheiten der additiven Fertigung beeinflussen die Prüfstrategien und die Charakterisierungsergebnisse. Daher werden einzelne Prüfstrategien zur Beurteilung der Qualität und der Leistungsfähigkeit auf das Verarbeitungsverfahren angepasst. Die qualitative Beurteilung erfolgte oberflächen- und volumenbasiert. Durch die Kombination beider Methoden konnten Ansammlungen von Porenvolumen den Fertigungseffekten zugeordnet werden. Die Bewertung des Verformungsverhaltens erfolgte in einem breiten Dehnratenbereich (statisch, quasistatisch und dynamisch), das Ermüdungsverhalten unter zyklischer Belastung wurde bis 108 Lastwechsel charakterisiert. Für die Untersuchungen im VHCF-Bereich wurde ein Hochfrequenz-Prüfsystem verwendet und die Temperaturentwicklung überwacht. Die adaptierten und neuentwickelten Prüfstrategien lassen sich in einer Prüfsystematik zusammenfassen, die die fertigungsbedingten Einflüsse berücksichtigen und einen sicheren Betrieb von langzeitbeanspruchten Thermoplast-Leichtbaustrukturen gewährleisten.

Enumerations: Data and Literary Study
by Andrew PiperFor well over a century, academic disciplines have studied human behavior using quantitative information. Until recently, however, the humanities have remained largely immune to the use of data—or vigorously resisted it. Thanks to new developments in computer science and natural language processing, literary scholars have embraced the quantitative study of literary works and have helped make Digital Humanities a rapidly growing field. But these developments raise a fundamental, and as yet unanswered question: what is the meaning of literary quantity? In Enumerations, Andrew Piper answers that question across a variety of domains fundamental to the study of literature. He focuses on the elementary particles of literature, from the role of punctuation in poetry, the matter of plot in novels, the study of topoi, and the behavior of characters, to the nature of fictional language and the shape of a poet’s career. How does quantity affect our understanding of these categories? What happens when we look at 3,388,230 punctuation marks, 1.4 billion words, or 650,000 fictional characters? Does this change how we think about poetry, the novel, fictionality, character, the commonplace, or the writer’s career? In the course of answering such questions, Piper introduces readers to the analytical building blocks of computational text analysis and brings them to bear on fundamental concerns of literary scholarship. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in Digital Humanities and the future of literary study.

The Environment: Philosophy, Science, and Ethics (Topics in Contemporary Philosophy)
by Michael O'Rourke William P. Kabasenche Matthew H. SlaterOriginal essays by leading scholars consider the environment from biological and ethical perspectives.Philosophical reflections on the environment began with early philosophers' invocation of a cosmology that mixed natural and supernatural phenomena. Today, the central philosophical problem posed by the environment involves not what it can teach us about ourselves and our place in the cosmic order but rather how we can understand its workings in order to make better decisions about our own conduct regarding it. The resulting inquiry spans different areas of contemporary philosophy, many of which are represented by the fifteen original essays in this volume.The contributors first consider conceptual problems generated by rapid advances in biology and ecology, examining such topics as ecological communities, adaptation, and scientific consensus. The contributors then turn to epistemic and axiological issues, first considering philosophical aspects of environmental decision making and then assessing particular environmental policies (largely relating to climate change), including reparations, remediation, and nuclear power, from a normative perspective.ContributorsKatie McShane, Robert Brandon, Rachel Bryant, Michael Trestman, Brian Steverson, Denis Walsh, Lorraine Code, Jay Odenbaugh, Joseph Cannon, Mariam Thalos, Chrisoula Andreou, Clare Palmer, Ben Hale, Kristin Shrader-Frechette, Andrew Light

The Environment: A History of the Idea
by Paul Warde Libby Robin Sverker SörlinAn in-depth look at the history of the environment.Is it possible for the economy to grow without the environment being destroyed? Will our lifestyles impoverish the planet for our children and grandchildren? Is the world sick? Can it be healed? Less than a lifetime ago, these questions would have made no sense. This was not because our ancestors had no impact on nature—nor because they were unaware of the serious damage they had done. What people lacked was an idea: a way of imagining the web of interconnection and consequence of which the natural world is made. Without this notion, we didn't have a way to describe the scale and scope of human impact upon nature. This idea was "the environment." In this fascinating book, Paul Warde, Libby Robin, and Sverker Sörlin trace the emergence of the concept of the environment following World War II, a period characterized by both hope for a new global order and fear of humans' capacity for almost limitless destruction. It was at this moment that a new idea and a new narrative about the planet-wide impact of people's behavior emerged, closely allied to anxieties for the future. Now we had a vocabulary for talking about how we were changing nature: resource exhaustion and energy, biodiversity, pollution, and—eventually—climate change.With the rise of "the environment," the authors argue, came new expertise, making certain kinds of knowledge crucial to understanding the future of our planet. The untold history of how people came to conceive, to manage, and to dispute environmental crisis, The Environment is essential reading for anyone who wants to help protect the environment from the numerous threats it faces today.

Environment and Development: Challenges, Policies and Practices
by Antonio Augusto Rossotto IorisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of emerging challenges facing different social groups, policy-makers and the international community related to economic growth, social development and environmental change, social inclusion and regional development. The book undertakes a critical assessment of the tensions associated with the failures of mainstream regulatory approaches and impacts of social and economic policies whilst widening the discussion on the interface between the expansion of the socio-environmental demands, equity and justice. These are crucial challenges, of great importance today and of equal relevance to the Global North and South. The book explores one of the main contradictions of development, the simplification of assessments and narrow consideration of alternatives. Taking this dilemma as its departure point, it goes on to examine the justification, trends and limitations of Western-based development and possible alternatives to fundamentally modify the basis and the rationale of the development process. It considers theoretical and lived experiences of development, paying attention to multiple scales, local realities and economic frontiers. Contributing authors explore policy recommendations and discuss effective practical tools for determining the values different people hold for ecosystem services and territorial resources. They cover the monitoring of change in the provision of ecosystem services that might increase the well-being of vulnerable groups as well as strategies to promote innovation and integrated, equitable and sustainable development.

The Environment and International Politics: International Fisheries, Heidegger and Social Method (Environmental Politics #Vol. 10)
by Hakan SeckinelginThis new study shows how environmental issues represent a deep problem in conceptualising the relationship between human beings and nature. This key relationship grounds the implicit ethical and political concerns of International Relations and our understandings of environmental politics. It demonstrates that the core theoretical orientations of the study of International Relations are not only incapable of understanding and responding to contemporary problems, but are profoundly complicit in creating the ecological problems in the first place.This major book develops a sense of these realities based on the thinking of Martin Heidegger. It forwards new ways of rethinking the environmental questions and addresses crucial issues such as sovereignty, the International Law of The Sea, the Kyoto Protocol, Northern Alaskan oil exploration and exploitation and the impact of the United Nations Convention on the Law of The Sea III. This is essential specialist reading for readers concerned with the environment.
