Sinossi

What Is Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion
 
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a process that makes use of the temperature difference that exists in the ocean between the deeper, cooler waters and the warmer, shallower or surface waters in order to power a heat engine that generates useful work, most commonly in the form of electricity. OTEC is able to function with a capacity factor that is very high, and as a result, it is able to function in base load mode.

    Amy Shah, MD, leading medical doctor and Instagram personality @fastingmd, shares her proven 5-step program for battling excessive hunger and food cravings by harnessing the power of psychobiotics and intermittent fasting. 
     
    “My mission is to revolutionize the way we think about hunger and nutrition, and to help people manage hunger and cravings and break free from the tyranny of diets and battles with food. I’ve seen my program work for people all over the world. And it will work for you, too.” —from the introduction by Dr. Amy Shah 
    Dr. Amy Shah kept hearing the same complaints from her patients: “I feel hungry all the time, even when I just ate.” “My cravings are out of control.” They were white-knuckling it through yet another diet plan, only to feel depleted, frustrated, and really effing hungry. 
    So she created I’m So Effing Hungry, a science-based plan designed to help you take charge of your health and your cravings, without feeling deprived. As Dr. Shah explains, cravings aren’t your fault—and eating a healthier diet isn’t just a matter of self-discipline or willpower. There are powerful biological forces at play in your body that govern your hunger levels and cravings. 
    Drawing on the emerging science of psychobiotics—healthy gut bacteria that help improve mood and regulate hunger, weight, and cravings—Dr. Shah has created a 5-step plan to help you make peace with food and your body: 
    STEP 1. REPLENISH: your body by eating more nourishing, mood-balancing foods. 
    STEP 2. REWIRE: your brain to undo the addiction pathways and cravings for processed foods. 
    STEP 3. RESET: your circadian rhythm to activate hunger hormones that reduce your appetite. 
    STEP 4. REFRESH: with a good night’s sleep, using proven good sleep habits used by the U.S. military. 
    STEP 5. RETRAIN: your body with exercise that regulates key neurotransmitters that influence our hunger response. 
    Complete with more than thirty delicious recipes and peppered with easy Hunger Hacks and Cravings Crushers—like eating walnuts to reduce hunger and getting direct sunlight first thing in the morning—I’m So Effing Hungry is a complete guide to help you reframe decades-old dieting patterns and stop fighting the scale. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    The water is rising — and it’s not just the coasts that are changing. Entire nations are sinking, rivers are shifting course, and millions are already on the move. But amid the devastation, extraordinary stories of resilience are emerging. 
    After the Flood takes readers to the front lines of the planet’s most pressing crisis: the global struggle to live with water in an era of unstoppable change. From the engineers building floating cities in the Netherlands to the farmers in Bangladesh reinventing agriculture on flooded land, and the Pacific Islanders fighting to preserve their homelands from beneath the waves — this is a story of ingenuity, defiance, and hope. 
    Blending investigative reporting with deeply human storytelling, Alex Southwick reveals how rising seas are not only redrawing maps, but reshaping what it means to belong, to adapt, and to survive. 
    After the Flood is a haunting and inspiring portrait of a world transformed by water — and the people determined to rise with it.

    This audiobook is an altered version of the Master’s thesis Lean Production Scale-up. How a startup can scale the manufacturing of physical product innovation by Ilkka Taponen. Approximately half of the original thesis has been removed to suit the audiobook format. The audiobook edit has been designed for an audience familiar with startups and business, meaning that large portions of the basics have been removed from the Theory chapter.Today the market entry for new ideas and entrepreneurs is easier than ever as the digital age is reshaping how business is done. Through digitalization, the business environment has become highly open and widely connected. The combinations of digital technologies like edge computing and artificial intelligence, AI, enable new business model opportunities. In this fast-changing environment, the most important thing is to learn as fast as possible what to do next and what is worth doing at all. Multiple non-fiction books like The Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank and Lean Startup by Eric Ries study the modern internet-era startup business environment.Still, one aspect has not been included in the broader public discussion. The tools presented in Lean Startup concentrate on finding the market fit as efficiently as possible but assume that the same level of uncertainties does not exist in the company's internal processes. “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters” is a famous quote by startup investor Peter Thiel. Behind the quote is the notion that there is something different and more challenging about developing physical technologies compared to online services. Manufacturing, indeed, is an underrated problem. It is much harder to take advanced technology and bring it to volume manufacturing than to design it in the first place.

    "A perfect blend of cutting-edge science and compelling storytelling."—Bill Bryson
    This audiobook narrated by Jot Davies offers revolutionary new vision of human biology and the scientific breakthroughs that will transform our lives
    
    Imagine knowing years in advance whether you are likely to get cancer, or having a personalized understanding of your individual genes, organs, and cells. Imagine being able to monitor your body's well-being, or have a diet tailored to your microbiome. The Secret Body reveals how these and other stunning breakthroughs and technologies are transforming our understanding of how the human body works, what it is capable of, how to protect it from disease, and how we might manipulate it in the future.
    
    Taking readers to the cutting edge of research, Daniel Davis shows how radical new possibilities are becoming realities thanks to the visionary efforts of scientists to reveal the invisible and secret universe within each of us. Focusing on six important frontiers, Davis describes what we are learning about cells, the development of the fetus, the body's immune system, the brain, the microbiome, and the genome—areas of human biology that are usually understood in isolation. Bringing them together here for the first time, Davis offers a new vision of the human body as a biological wonder of dizzying complexity and possibility.
    
    Written by an award-winning scientist at the forefront of this adventure, The Secret Body is a gripping drama of discovery and a landmark account of the dawning revolution in human health.
