This book provides the latest research on a new alternative form of technology, the magnetocaloric energy conversion. This area of research concerns magnetic refrigeration and cooling, magnetic heat pumping and magnetic power generation. The book’s systematic approach offers the theoretical basis of magnetocaloric energy conversion and its various sub domains and this is supported with the practical examples. Besides these fundamentals, the book also introduces potential solutions to engineering problems in magnetocalorics and to alternative technologies of solid state energy conversion. The aim of the book is therefore to provide engineers with the most up-to-date information and also to ...

The Special Issue “Refrigeration Systems and Applications” aims to encourage researchers to address the concerns associated with climate change and the sustainability of artificial cold production systems, and to further the transition to the more sustainable technologies and methodologies of tomorrow through theoretical, experimental, and review research on the different applications of refrigeration and associated topics.
This book commemorates the 75th birthday of Prof. George Jaiani – Georgia’s leading expert on shell theory. He is also well known outside Georgia for his individual approach to shell theory research and as an organizer of meetings, conferences and schools in the field. The collection of papers presented includes articles by scientists from various countries discussing the state of the art and new trends in the theory of shells, plates, and beams.

Skupina raziskovalcev z ZRC SAZU in ljubljanske Filozofske fakultete pod vodstvom Marka Juvana v knjigi razvija novo disciplino, ki se oblikuje na presečišču med analizo literarnega sistema in geografijo, opira pa se na geografske informacijske sisteme. Na literarnogeografskem pristopu, predstavljenem v uvodnih poglavjih, temeljijo študije, tematski zemljevidi in grafi, ki skušajo razložiti, kako se je prek interakcije med geografskimi dejavniki in književnimi praksami v slovenščini od 1780 do 1940 materialno-ideološko oblikoval »narodni prostor« Slovencev. Argumentacija temelji na prostorsko-statističnih analizah množice podatkov o biografijah literarnih akterjev, razvoju tiska, založništva, literarnih društev in gledališč, o krajih, predstavljenih v zgodovinskih romanih, in konstelaciji spominskih objektov in poimenovanj, posvečenih slovenskim književnikom. Sistemska obravnava je dopolnjena z razpravami o predstavljenih in življenjskih prostorih izbranih književnikov od 17. do 21. stoletja.
V tem delu so zapisane podobe časa ob pustu, čas pusta pa je »narobe svet«. Objavljene razprave in gradiva, ki so plod večletnega sodelovanja etnoloških ustanov in posameznikov v različnih slovenskih pokrajinah, nadgrajujejo delo Nika Kureta Maske slovenskih pokrajin (1984) s spoznanji zadnjih raziskav.
