An up-to-date, practical aid for architects, engineers, clients, and anyone interested in the field of glass technology, this publication is essential as the paths of glass and architecture have never been as intertwined in the past as they are today. The dynamic fields of glass craft and industrial high-technology are generating new architectural constructions that require highly integrated solutions. Whether sustainable buildings or complex facade systems, the prerequisites for any such developments are high-performance materials…. More >>

Glass: Structure and Technology in Architecture

This lavishly illustrated encyclopedia–which Library Journal praised as “wonderfully illustrated” and “a pleasure to browse”–is now available in a revised edition.
Here is a wealth of up-to-date information–more than 6,500 alphabetically arranged entries, each written by an expert in the field, covering virtually every aspect of science and technology, from the structure of atoms to the functioning of the cell. Readers will find brief informative entries covering subject areas such as astronomy, chemistry, biology, botany, engineering, physics, and medicine, to name a few. In addition, dozens of major topics–such as the Solar System or the Human Body–receive expanded, one- or two-page spreads. The volume also offers 700 special-feature boxes that explain key topics, inventions, and processes, ranging from air conditioners to binary stars; a 40-page time-line detailing significant moments in the history of science and technology; plus a ten-page ready reference section.

A unifying foundation to design and implement process-aware information systems

This publication takes on the formidable task of establishing a unifying foundation and set of common underlying principles to effectively model, design, and implement process-aware information systems. Authored by leading authorities and pioneers in the field, Process-Aware Information Systems helps readers gain a thorough understanding of major concepts, languages, and techniques for building process-aware applications, including:
* UML and EPCs: two of the most widely used notations for business process modeling
* Concrete techniques for process design and analysis
* Process execution standards: WfMC and BPEL
* Representative commercial tools: ARIS, TIBCO Staffware, and FLOWer

Each chapter begins with a description of the problem domain and then progressively unveils relevant concepts and techniques. Examples and illustrations are used extensively… More >>

Prentice Hall Health’s Question and Answer Review of Medical Technology/Clinical Laboratory Science

* First book in new BEST (Buildings, Energy and Solar Technology) Series
* Examines how solar thermal technologies can be implemented in building design to achieve the optimum of energy efficiency and thermal comfort
* Presents the collaborative work of 16 internationally recognized experts on the most current theory and practice

Solar thermal is now a proven technology in terms of reliability, cost-benefit, and low environmental impact. The integration of solar thermal systems and installations into the design of buildings can provide a clean, efficient and sustainable low-energy solution for heating and cooling, while, taken in a wider context, contributing to climate protection. This book covers the state of the art in the application of solar thermal technologies for buildings.
This is the first book in the BEST (Buildings, Energy and Solar Technology) Series. This series presents high-quality theoretical and application-oriented material on solar en… More >>

Developing an Online Curriculum: Technologies and Techniques

Dealing with technology within the school environment poses problems that don’t exist in the corporate world, such as donated equipment, old computers, and special laws related to the disabilities and protection of children. In addition, many technical coordinators “fell” into the job simply because they were the first in their school to own a computer. This simple, easy-to-follow guide speaks directly to these beleaguered educators and their specific needs so they can fully understand technology and make it work for them. Providing a practical road map for running a successful system in a low-budget and low-support environment, this survival guide addresses:
* How to consider important factors such as cost, support, and requirements
* How to handle vendors and users
* How to design a network or a website
* How to fight viruses, trouble shoot, or recover from a disaster
* How to maintain your own sanity through it all!… More >>

Almost without anybody noticing, a new cultural paradigm has come center stage, displacing an exhausted and increasingly marginalised postmodernism. Dr. Alan Kirby calls this cultural paradigm digimodernism, a name comprising both its central technical mode and its privileging of the fingers and thumbs in its use. The increasing irrelevancy of postmodernism requires a new theory to underpin our current digital culture. Beginning with the Internet (digimodernism’s most important locus), then taking into account television, cinema, computer games, music, radio, etc., Kirby analyzes the emergence and implications of these diverse media, coloring our cultural landscape with new ideas on texts and how they work. This new kind of text produces distinctive forms of author and reader/viewer, which, in turn, lead to altered notions of authority, ‘truth’ and legitimation. With users intervening physically in the creation of texts, our electronically-dependent society is becoming more involved in… More >>
