No Miracles Needed: How Today's Technology Can Save Our Climate and Clean Our Air English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009249541 | 466 Pages | PDF | 3 MB The world needs to turn away from fossil fuels and use clean, renewable sources of energy as soon as we can. Failure to do so will cause catastrophic climate damage sooner than you might think, leading to loss of biodiversity and economic and political instability. But all is not lost! We still have time to save the planet without resorting to 'miracle' technologies. We need to wave goodbye to outdated technologies, such as natural gas and carbon capture, and repurpose the technologies that we already have at our disposal. We can use existing technologies to harness, store, and transmit energy from wind, water, and solar sources to ensure reliable electricity, heat supplies, and energy security. Find out what you can do to improve the health, climate, and economic state of our planet. Together, we can solve the climate crisis, eliminate air pollution and safely secure energy supplies for everyone.

Together with associative access to information, structural multilevel analysis enables the interpretation of information processing in columns of the cerebral cortex of humans. Using representations of information processing in the hippocampus, it is possible to re-construct the human model of the world and to interpret purposeful behaviour. The book describes the procedure for synchronizing the world models of various people, allowing automatic semantic analysis of unstructured text information, including construction of a semantic network of a text as its semantic portrait.

Yang, "Networking the Russian Diaspora " English | ISBN: 0824889789 | 2021 | 286 pages | PDF | 9 MB Networking the Russian Diaspora is a fascinating and timely study of interwar Shanghai. Aside from the vacated Orthodox Church in the former French Concession where most Russian émigrés resided, Shanghai today displays few signs of the bustling settlement of those years. Russian musicians established the first opera company in China, as well as choirs, bands, and ensembles, to play for their own and other communities. Russian musicians were the core of Shanghai's lauded Municipal Orchestra and taught at China's first conservatory. Two Russian émigré composers in particular―Alexander Tcherepnin and Aaron Avshalomov―experimented with incorporating Chinese elements into their compositions as harbingers of intercultural music that has become a well-recognized trend in composition since the late twentieth century. The Russian musical scene in Shanghai was the embodiment of musical cosmopolitanism, anticipating the hybrid nature of twenty-first-century music arising from cultural contacts through migration, globalization, and technological advancement. |
