Beschreibung

Ocean Thermal Energy explores the potential of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) as a renewable energy source by harnessing temperature differences between warm surface water and cold deep ocean water. Despite the relatively small temperature differential, OTEC systems can generate power using thermodynamic principles. The book uniquely navigates between overly optimistic and pessimistic views, offering a balanced assessment of OTEC technology, its potential benefits, and challenges.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the history of OTEC, from initial concepts to pilot plants. It examines the different OTEC system designs like closed-cycle, open-cycle, and hybrid cycle. The book also addresses environmental considerations, such as impacts on marine ecosystems, and analyzes the economic viability of OTEC, including capital and operational costs. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of OTEC for students, researchers, and policymakers interested in sustainable energy solutions.

    A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. 
     
     
     
    Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what's been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.

    The human body is a remarkable and intricate system, made up of trillions of cells working in harmony to maintain life. Understanding its structure and function is essential for gaining insights into how the body operates and sustains itself. At the most basic level, the body is organized into four primary levels: cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Cells are the building blocks of life, each with specialized functions that contribute to the overall well-being of the organism. Tissues are formed from similar cells working together to perform specific functions. Organs are composed of various tissues that cooperate to carry out more complex tasks, and when organs work together in coordinated groups, they form systems that carry out essential bodily functions. 
    The organization of the body is designed for efficiency and survival, ensuring that all processes, from digestion to respiration, occur seamlessly. For example, the digestive system processes food and absorbs nutrients, the respiratory system ensures oxygen exchange, and the circulatory system distributes oxygen and nutrients to the cells while removing waste products. Each system is interconnected, and any disruption to one can affect the others, highlighting the importance of balance and coordination in maintaining health. 
    A key concept in understanding the body’s functioning is homeostasis, the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. This balance is critical to the survival of cells and, by extension, the organism as a whole. The body’s systems are continuously monitoring and adjusting to changes in temperature, pH levels, fluid balance, and other internal factors to keep everything within optimal ranges. For instance, when body temperature rises, the body sweats to cool down, and when it drops, it shivers to generate heat. Similarly, the kidneys help regulate fluid balance by adjusting urine production according to hydration levels.

    Why does your weather app say “there’s a 10 percent chance of rain” instead of “it will be sunny”? In large part, this is due to the insight of award-winning physicist Tim Palmer, who pioneered the introduction of uncertainty into weather and climate prediction.  
    Now, he wants to apply it to how we study everything else. 
     
    In The Primacy of Doubt, Palmer gives us a revolutionary vision of mathematical uncertainty that provides new insights into a range of practical problems and some of the deepest questions in science and philosophy. He draws connections that are in equal parts unexpected  
    and fascinating: how ensemble forecasts can predict unpredictability, how the brain uses noise for creative thinking, how the geometry of chaos forces us to rewrite the laws of quantum mechanics, and in so doing reconciles determinism, free will, and moral responsibility.  
     
    A tour de force from a brilliant mind, The Primacy of Doubt shows that the fundamental law of the universe might just be to expect the unexpected.
