Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Byung-Chul Han is one of the most important living philosophers, renowned for his critiques of the digital age. In response to the idea that new technological devices expand our freedom, he argues that they lead to burnout and self-absorption and that we must redevelop contemplative practices which slow us down and open us up. He has brought to his thought forms of deep cosmopolitanism developed from both Zen Buddhism and a renewed Romanticism.This book is the first critical introduction to Han's body of work. Wyllie, Stoneman, and Knepper explore Han's rich oeuvre to date and his incisive contributions to a range of disciplines, including critical theory, media studies, political philosophy, and aesthetics. They unpack his key terms and illustrate his concepts with a range of examples, revealing how the critiques of the 'achievement society' and burnout for which Han is best known in the English-speaking world build on his earlier accounts of power, violence, and mood. This broader view addresses the most frequent criticisms of Han and makes a compelling case that he is not only an insightful diagnostician of the present moment, but one whose interpretation of both Western and Eastern traditions offers wisdom for navigating the now-acute problems of modernity.This lively book is essential reading for anyone getting to grips with Han's extraordinary work.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Advanced guidance for institutional investors, academics, and researchers on how to manage a portfolio of private capital funds The Art of Commitment Pacing: Engineering Allocations to Private Capital provides a much-needed analysis of the issues that face investors as they incorporate closed ended-funds targeting illiquid private assets (such as private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate) into their portfolios. These private capital funds, once considered 'alternative' and viewed as experimental, are becoming an increasingly standard component of institutional asset allocations. However, many investors still follow management approaches that remain anchored in the portfolio theory for liquid assets but that often lead to disappointing results when applied to portfolios of private capital funds where practically investors remain committed over nearly a decade. When planning for such commitments, investment managers and researchers are faced with practical questions such as: - How to measure and control the real exposure to private assets - How to forecast cash-flows for commitments to private capital funds - What ranges for their returns and lifetime are realistic, and how can the investor's skill be factored in - Over which dimensions should a portfolio be diversified and how much diversification is enough - How can the impact of co-investments or secondaries be modelled - How to design pacing plans that lead to resilient and efficient portfolios - What stress scenarios should be considered and how can they be applied These are just examples of the many questions for which answers are provided. The Art of Commitment Pacing describes established and new methodologies for building up and controlling allocations to such investments. This book offers a systematic approach for building up and controlling allocations to such investments. The Art of Commitment Pacing is a valuable addition to the libraries of investment managers, as well as portfolio and risk managers involved in institutional investment. The book will also be of interest to advanced students of finance, researchers, and other practitioners who require a detailed understanding of forecasting and portfolio management methodologies.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - INTRODUCTION TO PARTICLE TECHNOLOGYA new edition of the indispensable guide to particulates and powdersParticle technology concerns the formation, processing and properties of the particles and powders which make up many of the products that surround us. Such products range from the cement and aggregate in the built environment to pharmaceuticals and processed foods. Most of the process industries involve particles, either as essential components such as catalysts or as intermediate or final products, and minerals such as the rare earths that are generally mined and processed in particulate form. Particles can have many beneficial uses but they can also cause harm in the environment and, through inhalation, to the individual. In all cases, the powder properties, particularly particle size, are crucially important.This well-known textbook, now in its 3rd edition, provides an easily-understood introduction to the underlying scientific principles of particle technology, together with examples of how these principles can be used in practical design and operation of industrial processes. Each chapter contains both worked examples and exercises for the student. Based on feedback from students and users of the earlier editions, this revised and expanded text includes introductory chapters on particles as products and on computational methods. The topics have been selected to give coverage of the broad areas of particle technology and include:\* Characterization (size analysis, surface area)\* Processing (granulation, fluidization)\* Particle formation (granulation, crystallisation, tableting, size reduction)\* Storage and transport (hopper design, pneumatic conveying, standpipes)\* Separation (filtration, settling, cyclones)\* Safety (fire and explosion hazards, health hazards)\* Engineering the properties of particulate systems to achieve desired product performance\* Discrete element modelling of particulate systemsIntroduction to Particle Technology, 3rd Edition is essential reading for students of chemical engineering.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Presents the principles, derivations, and equations of renewable energy power plants, including MATLAB code Advanced Control of Grid-Integrated Renewable Energy Power Plants presents a comprehensive introduction to the power system dynamics and stability of renewable energy power plants (RPPs), such as wind turbines, wind power plants, and photovoltaic systems. The author-a noted expert on the topic-takes a rigorous approach to the analysis and modelling of RPPs, such as turbine rotors, PV cells, electronic converters, transformers, and aggregated grid models. This approach allows for the validation of requirements for sustainable power systems based on formal methods. The text deals with nonlinear model-based observer and control design techniques in the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) framework. It explores the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy (TSF) models which are nonlinear systems, in which the consequent part of a fuzzy rule is a mathematical formula, representing local dynamics or limited nonlinearities by sector functions. The strong property of the TSF finds several applications modelling dynamical systems that can be described by differential equations.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Students' difficulties in producing texts that meet the requirements of academic writing are a recurring concern for teaching staff and those responsible for university courses. Various initiatives are currently being taken, mainly at undergraduate level, to help students improve the quality of their writing. Research into metacognitive processes and the self-regulation of learning can be used to support the design of these writing support systems, particularly by providing a better understanding of the students' difficulties. This book reviews the concepts of metacognition and self-regulation in relation to writing processes. It analyses the metacognitive components involved in text production, their links with successful writing and their individual and contextual determinants. It completes this analysis by drawing on the teaching and assessment of writing in higher education. All of these elements are articulated around a multifactorial modeling of the learning and teaching of academic writing.…
