English | ISBN: 3031615840 | 2024 | 360 pages | EPUB | 50 MB
This book highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of LCA in pavements, bridges, and roadways, as presented by leading international researchers at the 6th International Symposium on Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment (ISPRB LCA2024), held in Arlington, VA, USA, on June 6-8, 2024. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning assessment of environmental impacts of pavements, bridges, and roadways, including environmental product declarations (EPDs) and use of life cycle assessment (LCA) in design, data, and case studies: LCA methodologies for transportation infrastructure, durability and service life assessments, maintenance strategies to enhance performance and minimize environmental impacts, evaluating the environmental impacts of materials and construction, recycling and reuse of materials, carbonation of concrete, pavement vehicle interaction, life cycle thinking in climate change planning, and climate change mitigation. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.

Free Download Francesco Di Paola, "Parametric Experiments in Architecture: A Connection Joint Design for Sustainable Structures in Bamboo "
English | ISBN: 303096275X | 2023 | 145 pages | EPUB | 52 MB
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the use of bamboo in the building industry. It systematically demonstrates bamboo's utility in terms of its properties, describing the material properties of typical industrial bamboo products, and discussing their performance evaluation and optimization as building components and in the creation of building envelopes. The book presents the recent developments regarding the innovative ways to design and represent architecture through parametric survey tools, and describes the experimental geometrical-generative design process of a connection joint for free-form lightweight structures employing beams made of bamboo culms. It examines algorithmic-generative design themes, through processes of optimization, analysis, and geometrical-spatial verification, employing the potential of digital form-finding design and digital manufacturing techniques to validate the defined technological solution. This book appeals to scientists and professionalsand is a valuable resource for civil engineers, designers and students interested in this unique plant material and its application in the building industry.

Free Download Hussein A. Mohammed, "Parabolic Trough Solar Collectors: Thermal and Hydraulic Enhancement Using Passive Techniques and Nanofluids"
English | ISBN: 3031087003 | 2023 | 217 pages | EPUB | 52 MB
Parabolic Trough Solar Collectors: Thermal and Hydraulic Enhancement Using Passive Techniques and Nanofluids systematically and methodically examines all aspects of the essential and basic elements of parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) design and performance enhancement techniques. The book provides thorough optical, thermal, and exergetic analyses along with a review of experimental and numerical studies performed on thermal augmentation methods, which includes the use of conventional fluids and advanced fluids such as nanofluids and hybrid nanofluids in PTSC. Moreover, the use of passive techniques, turbulators, and surface modifications with different shapes and configurations associated with PTSC is presented. The PTSC's thermal efficiency augmentation estimation with the utilization of different fluids (i.e. conventional or advanced fluids) is summarized and analyzed in each case study, and the ongoing patterns in hybrid nanofluid utilization are provided.

Free Download Antonios Fytopoulos, "Optimization of Pharmaceutical Processes "
English | ISBN: 3030909239 | 2022 | 449 pages | EPUB | 51 MB
Optimization of Pharmaceutical Processes presents contributions from leading authorities in the fields of optimization and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Formulated within structured frameworks, practical examples and applications are given as guidance to apply optimization techniques to most aspects of pharmaceutical processes from design, to lab and pilot scale, and finally to manufacturing. The increasing demand for better quality, higher yield, more efficient-optimized and green pharmaceutical processes, indicates that optimal conditions for production must be applied to achieve simplicity, lower costs and superior yield. The application of such methods in the pharmaceutical industry is not trivial. Quality of the final product is of major importance to human health and the need for deep knowledge of the process parameters and the optimization of the processes are imperative.
