Designing Zero Carbon Buildings Using Dynamic Simulation Methods

Designing Zero Carbon Buildings Using Dynamic Simulation Methods

In addition to the application of fundamental principles that lead to a structured method for zero carbon design of buildings this considerably expanded second edition includes new advanced topics on multi-objective optimisation; reverse modelling; reduction of the simulation performance gap; predictive control; nature-inspired emergent simulation leading to sketches that become ‘alive’; and an alternative economics for achieving the sustainability paradigm. The book features student design work from a Master’s programme run by the author and their design speculation for a human settlement on Mars. Tasks for simple simulation experiments are available for the majority of topics providing the material for classroom exercise and giving the reader an easy introduction into the field. Extended new case studies of zero carbon buildings are featured in the book including schemes from Japan China Germany Denmark and the UK and provide the reader with an enhanced design toolbox to stimulate their own design thinking. | Designing Zero Carbon Buildings Using Dynamic Simulation Methods

Proposing Empirical Research: A Guide to the Fundamentals provides step-by-step instructions for students who will be writing their first research proposal in the social and behavioral sciences and using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The structure of the book enables students to work independently with confidence while writing the first drafts of their proposals. Each major section is divided into short topics and for each topic students are asked to complete an exercise that leads them toward the goal of preparing a proposal. Numerous illustrative examples throughout the book make the recommendations for proposal writing come alive. In addition the 10 model proposals provided at the end of the book illustrate proposal writing and provide material for classroom discussions. New to the Sixth Edition: Updates throughout to reflect research and learning in the digital/online environment e. g. online surveys digital organization tools digital recruitment methods for research and digital databases records and archives. Discussion of qualitative methods. Updated references model proposals end of chapter exercises etc. Proposing Empirical Research is ideal for use in research methods classes where students write a proposal as a term project thesis/dissertation preparation classes senior research seminars where proposing and conducting research is a culminating undergraduate activity and any graduate-level seminar in which the instructor wants to incorporate a project that will engage students in critical thinking about the content area. | Proposing Empirical Research A Guide to the Fundamentals

Soulmates Resurrecting Eve

Soulmates Resurrecting Eve

In Soulmates: Resurrecting Eve Juliana Geran Pilon argues for a return to an egalitarian view of men and women found in the original Genesis narrative as reflected through Judaism Christianity and Islam. In each of these Abrahamic traditions it was understood that man and woman were created to be soulmates in God's image equal despite their different functions within society. Pilon writes that this original message has gradually been distorted with disastrous effect. Any hope for an ennobling human community begins by resurrecting Eve as an equal partner to Adam. The work examines the Biblical creation narrative comparing it to Greek and other ancient mythologies. Pilon explains how the disturbing association of woman with sin and death led to Eve's demise as Adam's equal. The final section of the work deals with the Goddess myth love and marriage in early religious narratives and modern man's search for his soul no less than for a soulmate. The book at its core is a meditation on the relationship between men and women but also among human beings. The resurrection of Eve is indispensable to attaining a true appreciation of love and faith. Pilon uses religious texts expert commentary and various works of fiction poetry and psychology to make her argument come alive. The work is strengthened by the writing style alternately poetic and humorous and a clear and illuminating progression of ideas. Its emphasis on reconciliation and understanding and its post-feminist outlook will find a receptive audience. | Soulmates Resurrecting Eve

Necessary Conditions Teaching Secondary Math with Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation

Necessary Conditions Teaching Secondary Math with Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation

During his years working as an instructional coach for a national network of schools Geoff Krall had the chance to witness several inspirational moments when math class comes alive for middle or high school students - when it is challenging but also fun creative and interactive. In Necessary Conditions: Teaching Secondary Math with Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation Krall documents the essential ingredients that produce these sorts of moments on a regular basis and for all students. They are Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation. Academic Safety: Krall implements equitable classroom experiences that help fight stigmas associated with race and gender in schools. This allows students to feel socially and emotionally secure while nurturing their identities as mathematicians and increasing engagement during classroom discussions Quality Tasks: Teachers can adapt or create dynamic student-centered lessons that break down math into small manageable sections removing the frustrations felt by students who aren't considered math people Effective Facilitation: This book shows how to incorporate teaching moves and math routines designed for engagement persistence and interactivity. Teachers can allow students to explore safely while maintaining consistent classroom expectations. My work as a math instructional coach for a network of schools has afforded me the unique opportunity to visit exceptional teachers across the country documenting their tasks teaching moves and academically safe learning environments. You'll experience dispatches from these effective classrooms in which we'll observe how teachers attend to all three elements that make up the ecosystem.

A Vast Bundle of Opportunities An Exploration of Creativity in Personal Life and Community

A Vast Bundle of Opportunities An Exploration of Creativity in Personal Life and Community

The conventional view of religion is that the basic truths were settled long ago that all we have to do is to accept them and behave accordingly. Essentially then there is no room for originality. To be religious we have to be followers adherents to be convinced addicted to be in a position to say: we are right you are wrong. In A Vast Bundle of Opportunities originally published in 1975 Kenneth Barnes maintains that this is a sterile condition of mind. Religion is not a separate kind of experience; it includes our whole selves and all that we do. It follows that if art and science can be creative and originative so also must religion be if it is real. If it is the Christian religion we are thinking of then to try to ‘imitate’ Jesus is to kill him stone dead. To make him an ideal is to put him away. But to respond to him is to come alive as creators and originators. The writer as the founder of an unusual kind of boarding school – Wennington School Wetherby – knows what it is like to live in the midst of incessant enterprising activity; in his own life he knows what it feels like to be a scientist an artist a craftsman. He asks if there are ways we can deliberately choose by which we can become originators. He takes the philosophy of John Macmurrray to show what freedom could mean to us and the more recent writings of Arthur Koestler and Edouard de Bono to suggest that the obvious development of creativeness in science can be encouraged in the total approach to life and human problems. Life then becomes an experience of endless discovery a continual opening up of possibilities. | A Vast Bundle of Opportunities An Exploration of Creativity in Personal Life and Community
