Translator A Ai

Summary

Cold Storage Methods examines the science behind preserving food without electricity, a crucial topic for sustainable agriculture, food security, and reducing food waste. It explores how understanding thermal physics can lead to effective, non-electric food preservation, particularly valuable for off-grid communities and regions with unreliable power. The book highlights two key areas: passive cooling, using natural phenomena like evaporative and radiative cooling, and controlled atmosphere storage, which modifies the storage environment to slow spoilage.

Delving into age-old practices through a modern scientific lens, the book bridges traditional knowledge with physics. For example, understanding heat transfer principles allows for optimization of storage designs. The book begins with thermodynamics and heat transfer fundamentals, progressing to various passive cooling methods and controlled atmosphere principles, before culminating in integrated storage system designs. Case studies illustrate the effectiveness of these methods across diverse climates.

The book's unique value lies in its rigorous, physics-based analysis, offering a scientific approach to traditional methods. It targets agricultural scientists, engineers, and policymakers, providing the knowledge to design sustainable storage solutions. By presenting empirical data, mathematical models, and engineering design principles, Cold Storage Methods emphasizes the practicality of non-electric food preservation.

Changeable Brain - What Cases of...

Ph.D. Lorin J. Elias

Brain injuries can result in highly specific and surprising changes in behavior that have revealed to us how the mind works.The brain is the most complicated object in the known universe. After spending millennia trying to understand our ever-changing world, the brain is now turning its capacities for reasoning, remembering, and understanding inward, as it tries to understand itself.The biggest breakthroughs in neuroscience have come mostly by accident. These accidents didn't happen in research labs. They happened on railway job sites, in showers, on bicycles, in cars or were the result of infections from uncommon diseases.When an individual suffers brain damage as the result of an accident or illness, the negative effects can be profound—life altering and lifelong—yet the insights offered by the effects of these injuries have been revolutionary for neuroscientists. Through an examination of landmark cases of traumatic brain injury, Dr. Lorin J. Elias explains how each case has expanded our understanding of the mind.

The Future Economy - A Crypto...

Brandon Zemp

Few know the blockchain space as well as Brandon Zemp. Here Brandon offers readers a peek into the dizzying growth of this field, from the emergence of Bitcoin to the proliferation of other tokens such as Ethereum and Solana, to the dramatic rise and fall and rise again of the crypto financial markets. While savvy investment in this growing space can make you rich, Zemp shows how the real wealth will come from blockchain’s capacity to improve human lives, from medicine to transportation to art. The introduction of blockchain-powered decentralized finance will challenge a banking industry in desperate need of reform, empowering billions around the globe by reclaiming power from big banks and state-sanctioned fiat currencies. Zemp concludes by offering guidance for those who want to participate in this movement. There is space for everyone, and fresh opportunities are emerging each day. The only ones who will be left behind are those who refuse to see that the twenty-first century belongs to blockchain. That time is already here.
