Sinopse

Wind-Driven Ventilation explores how harnessing natural airflow can create sustainable indoor environments, offering an alternative to traditional mechanical systems. It emphasizes the physics of wind behavior around buildings and its application to ventilation strategies, crucial for reducing energy consumption and improving air quality. For instance, strategic window placement, building orientation, and understanding local climate conditions are vital for optimizing natural ventilation. The book uniquely combines theoretical principles with real-world applications, using climate studies, wind tunnel experiments, and case studies. It delves into topics like the stack effect, cross-ventilation, and single-sided ventilation, explaining each's strengths and weaknesses. By integrating climatology, building science, and urban planning, it underscores the importance of wind-driven ventilation in creating sustainable buildings. The book progresses by first introducing the fundamentals of wind behavior and then examining the design of wind-driven ventilation systems. It concludes by discussing the challenges and opportunities, including strategies for diverse climates. This approach provides designers, engineers, and policymakers with the tools to implement effective natural ventilation, contributing to climate change mitigation and resilient communities.

Free Speech and Turbulent...

Michael J. Glennon

A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
 
 
 
In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
 
 
 
To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.

Finding Genius: Understanding...

Richard Jacobs

This book is for three kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs interested in science or overall wellness, 2) anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows someone who has, and 3) medical, bioengineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about any or all aspects of cancer biology and treatment, but who are not experts in the field.
This book is the result of 70+ interviews of genius-level medical and science professionals, primarily in cancer biology, research, and medicine. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered to the best of their ability and knowledge.
What you’re about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 to 9 who answered each question.
At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first – I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers.
After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of physics or other sciences in which I’m not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it’s a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level. Apply yourself, and you’ll be surprised by what you can learn in a year’s time.
