Summary

Mining Heat Management tackles the critical issue of thermal management in modern mining operations. It emphasizes how escalating cooling costs can undermine profitability and highlights the strategic importance of effective heat management for worker safety, equipment lifespan, and overall operational productivity. The book explores how increasingly sophisticated technologies and deeper mining depths have intensified thermal challenges, necessitating proactive solutions. It argues that managing heat is no longer solely an operational concern but a strategic one, impacting economic viability and social responsibility.

This book delves into innovative cooling technologies, comparing their effectiveness and costs in different mining contexts. It also stresses the necessity of integrating thermal management into mine design and operational strategy for long-term sustainability. Using empirical data, engineering models, and global case studies, the book bridges mechanical engineering with business management. It advocates for a holistic approach, integrating thermal management throughout the mining lifecycle.

The book begins with fundamental principles of heat transfer and progresses to analyzing heat sources, detailing cooling methods, and presenting case studies. It culminates in a framework for developing comprehensive thermal management plans that include risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis. Ultimately, Mining Heat Management offers actionable strategies for improving thermal management practices, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing energy consumption.

Nephrology - Kidney Diseases and...

Ava Westwood

Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of kidney-related diseases. The kidneys, two vital organs located in the lower back, play an essential role in maintaining the body's overall health by filtering waste, regulating fluid levels, balancing electrolytes, and controlling blood pressure. In addition to their role in excretion, the kidneys are crucial in regulating the body's internal environment, making nephrology an integral field in medicine. Nephrology encompasses a wide range of diseases and conditions, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), kidney stones, glomerular diseases, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The growing incidence of kidney-related disorders, particularly CKD, has made nephrology a crucial part of healthcare systems worldwide. 
The importance of nephrology in healthcare cannot be overstated, as kidney diseases often develop silently, showing few symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Early detection is vital in preventing the progression of kidney disease and reducing complications, including kidney failure. With millions of individuals affected by CKD and a steadily rising number of patients with end-stage renal disease, nephrologists play an indispensable role in diagnosis, treatment, and management. Kidney diseases require a multidisciplinary approach, with nephrologists working closely with other specialists, such as dietitians, nurses, and social workers, to ensure comprehensive care for patients. 
Historically, nephrology has made significant strides in both research and clinical care. The discovery of the kidney’s essential functions, including its ability to filter waste and maintain homeostasis, paved the way for understanding kidney diseases. The development of dialysis in the mid-20th century allowed patients with kidney failure to survive by mimicking the filtration functions of the kidneys.

Love Your Mother - 50 States 50...

Mallory McDuff

From elder voices opposing the Dakota Pipeline to young people running for office to advocate for change, every day we see real-life stories about how women are making a collective difference on climate justice. Women are also disproportionately impacted by climate change and thus are critical to transforming society away from dependence on fossil fuels and toward renewable energy and environmental equity. 
 
 
 
As a mother and a professor of environmental education, Mallory McDuff wanted to give her two daughters and her students a roadmap to engage in climate justice in their communities, rather than be left feeling paralyzed by the enormity of the problem. She set out to find women of diverse ages, backgrounds, and vocations—one from each of the fifty US states—as inspiration for a new kind of leadership focused on the heart of the climate crisis. Love Your Mother lifts up the stories of these women working toward a viable future, from farmer and rancher Donna Kilpatrick in Arkansas to writer Latria Graham in South Carolina. 
 
 
 
From Alabama to Alaska, from Wisconsin to Wyoming, these women are poets, physicians, climate scientists, students, farmers, writers, documentary filmmakers, and more. Their work lights the way for conversation and collective action in our homes and in the world. It's time we follow their lead.

When Elephants Weep - The...

Jeffrey Moussaief Masson

In the late 19th century, Charles Darwin was sure that humans and animals showed emotion through remarkably similar behaviors, noting, "The Indian elephant is said sometimes to weep." For over 100 years, animal lovers have known that their dogs, cats, and other pets have complex emotional lives. When Elephants Weep is the first book since Darwin's to thoroughly and effectively explore the full range of emotions throughout the animal kingdom.
Scholar and psychoanalyst Masson, with the help of Susan McCarthy, presents scientific evidence, fascinating anecdotes, and illuminating insights that offer powerful proof of the existence of animal emotion. When Elephants Weep draws upon the illuminating experiences of animal trainers and pet owners to create riveting and revolutionary stories that will permanently change and enrich the way we look at animals.
