Adaptive Feed-Forward Control of Low Frequency Interior Noise
This book presents a mechatronic approach to Active Noise Control (ANC). It describes the required elements of system theory, engineering acoustics, electroacoustics and adaptive signal processing in a comprehensive, consistent and systematic manner using a unified notation. Furthermore, it includes a design methodology for ANC-systems, explains its application and describes tools to be used for ANC-system design. From the research point of view, the book presents new approaches to sound source localization in weakly damped interiors. One is based on the inverse finite element method, the other is based on a sound intensity probe with an active free field. Furthermore, a prototype of an ANC-system able to reach the physical limits of local (feed-forward) ANC is described. This is one example for applied research in ANC-system design. Other examples are given for (i) local ANC in a semi-enclosed subspace of an aircraft cargo hold and (ii) for the combination of audio entertainment with ANC.
Biomass and Bioenergy
Biomass and bioenergy are essential components of the energy mix in most countries. Biomass is organic matter available on a renewable basis. Biomass includes forest and mill residues, agricultural crops and wastes, wood and wood wastes, animal wastes, livestock operation residues, aquatic plants, fast-growing trees and plants, and municipal and industrial wastes. Bioenergy is useful, renewable energy produced from organic matter. The conversion of the complex carbohydrates in organic matter to energy. Organic matter may either be used directly as a fuel or processed into liquids and gases. This book presents up-to-date research in this field.
Photovoltaics Guidebook for Decision-Makers
This guidebook for managers and decision-makers analyzes all important aspects for evaluating photovoltaics as a potential option in the power-supply industry and industrial development. The expertise of 40 invited experts enables readers to form their own opinion of PV energy conversion.
Progress in Thermochemical Biomass Conversion
This book is for chemical engineers, fuel technologists, agricultural engineers and chemists in the world-wide energy industry and in academic, research and government institutions. It provides a thorough review of, and entry to, the primary and review literature surrounding the subject. The authors are internationally recognised experts in their field and combine to provide both commercial relevance and academic rigour. Contributions are based on papers delivered to the Fifth International Conference sponsored by the IEA Bioenergy Agreement.
Knowledge Systems of Societies for Adaptation and Mitigation of Impacts of Climate Change
Climate change is broadly recognized as a key environmental issue affecting social and ecological systems worldwide. At the Cancun summit of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s 16th Conference, the parties jointly agreed that the vulnerable groups particularly in developing countries and whose livelihood is based on land use practices are the most common victims as in most cases their activities are shaped by the climate. Therefore, solving the climate dilemma through mitigation processes and scientific research is an ethical concern. Thus combining the knowledge systems of the societies and scientific evidences can greatly assist in the creation of coping mechanisms for sustainable development in a situation of changing climate. International Humboldt Kolleg focusing on “knowledge systems of societies and Climate Change” was organized at ISEC. This event was of unique importance, as the year 2011-12 was celebrated as the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between India and Germany with the motto "Germany and India - Infinite Opportunities." This volume is the outcome of the papers presented during the IHK 2011 at ISEC, India.
Diabetic Neuropathy
In this updated edition, leading medical specialists critically review for the general practitioner the latest techniques for the clinical management of diabetic neuropathy. The contributors focus on the practical aspects of diabetic neuropathy and describe in detail the treatments that are currently available or expected to become available in the near future. They also include concise discussions of the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy.
Das religiöse Leben der Juden von Elephantine in der Achämenidenzeit
In diesem Band werden verschiedene Einzelfragen zu dem religiosen Leben der Juden von Elephantine behandelt. Auf dem Hintergrund der politischen, kulturellen und sozialen Verhaltnisse dieser Bevolkerungsgruppe, sowie deren Einordnung in die judische Diaspora von Agypten in der Achamenidenzeit, wird eine Zusammenstellung aller bislang auf Elephantine gefundenen, oder von Elephantine stammenden Papyri und Ostraka gegeben. Daruber hinaus setzt sich die Autorin kritisch mit den vorhandenen Textausgaben der Papyri und Ostraka auseinander. So wird auf die of ziellen Schreiben im Kontext der Reichsregierung eingegangen und anhand der Heiratsvertrage der Frage nachgegangen, welches Recht zur Zeit der Perserherrschaft massgeblich war. Ausserdem werden ausgewahlte Papyri und Ostraka neu transkribiert, kommentiert und ubersetzt. Lieferbar unter www.e-cademic.de
Bioenergy Options for a Cleaner Environment: in Developed and Developing Countries
Bioenergy Options for a Cleaner Environment describes the biomass resource and its delivery. A panel of international experts describe the range of conversion technologies both commercially available and under development, and explore the technical, environmental and socio-economic barriers and benefits of using biomass in both developed and developing countries. - Covers a number of perspectives, taking the reader through the whole process from the bioenergy resource through conversion to fuel, to policy issues - World class Editor and contributors - Accessible and useful to those working in agriculture, forestry and planning, as well as energy researchers
