Sinopse

Summer Cooling Effects addresses the growing challenge of urban heat islands, exploring the role of urban greenery and reflective surfaces in creating more sustainable cities. The book highlights practical, evidence-based solutions for mitigating extreme heat, reducing energy consumption, and improving urban quality of life. Did you know strategic placement of urban greenery can cool cities through evapotranspiration and shading, while reflective surfaces reduce the absorption of solar radiation?

 
The book begins by establishing the context of rising global temperatures and the disproportionate impact on urban areas, reviewing the science behind the urban heat island effect. Moving through the implementation of urban forestry and green infrastructure, case studies illustrate successful strategies.

 
The book culminates with the integration of these strategies into broader urban planning frameworks, emphasizing the need for a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to urban climate resilience.

    The dangerous decline in vaccinations in many developed countries is at the heart of a lively debate that confirms how important the subject is today. Vaccinations are among mankind’s most important scientific discoveries, yet they continue to be viewed with suspicion by part of the public—the victims of disinformation campaigns, instrumentalization, and unfounded fears. There is, however, also an evolutionary explanation for these irrational beliefs, and countering the growing social opposition will be extremely difficult without grasping it. 
    This audiobook, which sheds new light on the safety and importance of vaccinations, is intended both for parents and those listeners who want to understand the role of vaccinations in contemporary society, where the ease of access to knowledge is both a great opportunity and a great responsibility. The chapters follow a historical progression and conclude with a discussion of the most recent cognitive theories on how to overcome this opposition to vaccinations.

    AI has acquired startling new language capabilities in just the past few years. Driven by rapid advances in deep learning, language AI systems are able to write and understand text better than ever before. This trend is enabling new features, products, and entire industries. With this book, listeners will learn practical tools and concepts they need to use these capabilities today. 
     
     
     
    You'll understand how to use pretrained large language models for use cases like copywriting and summarization; create semantic search systems that go beyond keyword matching; and use existing libraries and pretrained models for text classification, search, and clusterings. 
     
     
     
    This book also helps you understand the architecture of Transformer language models that excel at text generation and representation; build advanced LLM pipelines to cluster text documents and explore the topics they cover; build semantic search engines that go beyond keyword search, using methods like dense retrieval and rerankers; explore how generative models can be used, from prompt engineering all the way to retrieval-augmented generation; and gain a deeper understanding of how to train LLMs and optimize them for specific applications using generative model fine-tuning, contrastive fine-tuning, and in-context learning.

    What’s coming next for today’s workforce, and the companies behind them? For those eager and willing to adapt, the possibilities are nearly endless, says author Gerard Szatvanyi. Recent advances in technology have led to new trends, and this global transformation holds tremendous potential. Nearly every industry will be impacted, and organizations that set the right vision could benefit from breaking into new markets and creating specialized niches. Organizations have the opportunity to utilize AI solutions to equip team members and uplevel their skills. Along the way, they’ll need to think through the purpose of the office. It will also become increasingly important to follow smart protocols when hiring virtually and to take care as they operate in new regions to ensure these places align with their values. 
     
    As AI moves into the lives of everyday workers, companies can be assured that the human touch will still be essential. Even as machine learning and automation reduce the need for intense labor, team members will be tasked with higher level responsibilities, including the job of supervising AI and making final decisions. Firms can expect to see benefits ranging from increased productivity, higher rates of worker satisfaction, improved efficiencies, and the potential to produce new revenue streams from specialized products and services. Having an open mind and a willingness to think differently could help organizations increase their chances to gain — and hold — a strong position in their respective industries. 
     
    With more than 20 years of experience in the tech industry, Szatvanyi has long been fascinated with digital solutions and their impact. As founder of OSF Digital, a global IT services company, he has worked with clients and brands around the world, consulting and directing digital initiatives to equip organizations with the tools they need to reach consumer expectations and demand.
