Summary

TPV Material Progress explores how advancements in materials science are revolutionizing thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, essential for efficient energy conversion and sustainable energy solutions. The book delves into the development of novel emitter materials capable of withstanding high temperatures and enhancing radiative properties. It also examines selective filters, crucial for controlling spectral energy transfer, and high-efficiency photovoltaic cells optimized through bandgap engineering for TPV applications. Did you know that TPV systems, while promising, have historically faced limitations due to material constraints? This book addresses these challenges by systematically analyzing recent material innovations, marking a significant step towards unlocking the full potential of TPV technology.

 
The book's approach begins with the fundamentals of TPV energy conversion, progresses through the intricacies of emitter materials and selective filters, and culminates in an analysis of photovoltaic cell designs. By emphasizing the practical implications of each material advancement, TPV Material Progress provides clear, comparative analyses, enhancing its value to researchers and engineers alike. The book demonstrates how tailored materials can significantly improve TPV efficiency, stability, and economic viability, offering a comprehensive overview for those seeking to understand and apply the latest advances in thermophotovoltaics.

    Replugged is a field guide for staying human as artificial intelligence reshapes work, culture, and everyday life. Arguing that AI's impact will rival the advent of the computer and the internet, it takes a multi-dimensional view. First, it examines how past world-changing technologies rewired society, what they created, and what they broke. Second, it looks forward technologically, showing how AI converges with cloud, data, sensors, robotics, and biology and what real adoption (beyond hype) demands. Third, it analyses the psychological effects of attention drift, information overload, and bias and offers practices that restore agency. Fourth, it places AI within a philosophical and ethical frame, asking not just what we can build but what we should become.
    Blending story, systems thinking, and practical playbooks, Replugged introduces the Timeflow lens, focusing on energy, attention, and intention over time, to turn acceleration into action that readers can test this week.
    Replugged includes a QR to an AI Companion that extends the conversation, letting readers question, explore, and update insights as the technology (and their lives) evolve.

    Agile Transformation with an Agile Coaching Mindset: Moving to agile software development. 
    Coaching, Agile Coaching, Transformation, Agile Transformation, Agile Coach, Transformation Coach…. Lots of combinations we hear in everyday life. We are discussing agile transformation here. The approach we follow in this training is “Agile Transformation with an Agile Coaching Mindset”. 
    The dictionary meaning for agile is "able to move quickly and easily". Also, a much talked about attribute of agile is flexibility, ability to respond to changes. 
    How agile can an “agile transformation be"? In our approach, we believe the transformation itself must be agile. It must be an empirical process with an adaptive plan, which is flexible enough to accommodate new learnings accrued during the transformation journey. We keep improving every moment, and the agility evolves as we progress through this journey. 
    We believe in “Agile Transformation with an Agile Coaching Mindset”. 
    Let’s try to list down various phases a typical transformation journey goes through. These steps are negotiable. Based on the organization, team, and environment, these steps may change, be replaced, or be removed. The team may go through phases like… 
    Understand the Organisation, Culture, and Practices; Understand the drivers and set goals; Define Road map; Make Agile visible; Establish Agile training; Align Organisation structure and high-level processes; Start with Agile Practices; Team level transformation; Inspect and Adapt. 
    There is not any specific order for executing many of these steps in our journey. These may even go in parallel or in a different order based on the situation. This book discusses each phase in detail.

    The massively popular 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its subsequent movie adaptations led to a huge resurgence in interest in dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. That interest continues to the present day, even though most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren’t actually from the Jurassic period. Triceratops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the huge sauropods such as Brachiosaurus that feature in the book and movies all actually belong to the Late Cretaceous period, more than 40 million years after the end of the Jurassic. Regardless, certain kinds of dinosaurs remain instantly recognizable, and among them, the “king” is undoubtedly the Tyrannosaurus.  
    	The first discovery of a Tyrannosaurus was made in 1902 and the largest carnivorous dinosaur ever found at the time quickly gripped the popular imagination. Even its name was dramatic - Tyrannosaurus Rex means “King of the Tyrant Lizards.” The T-Rex as it quickly became known didn’t appear until the last age of the Late Cretaceous period, the Maastrichtian, but when it did, it was the biggest and most terrifying of all the theropod predators. The T-Rex was around 13 feet tall at the hips (its tallest point since it isn’t believe to have stood upright), it was over 35 feet long, and it weighed about nine metric tons. Like most therapods, it had very powerful hind legs and much smaller fore legs, so the front legs look almost comically small. This dinosaur also had a large and powerful tail to counterbalance its very large head (some T-Rex skulls are nearly five feet long). Within the skull was a massive jaw lined with teeth up to a foot long. A reconstructive study has estimated that a T-Rex jaw was capable of exerting a pressure of over 55,000 Newtons; the equivalent of almost six tons of pressure. It was fast too, possibly capable of moving at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour.
