 Thermoelectric Materials and Devices for Clean Energy Harvesting (Advanced Materials Processing and Manufacturing) by Ram Krishna, A. D. Dhass English | June 29, 2025 | ISBN: 1032619325 | 196 pages | MOBI | 15 Mb This book is designed to demonstrate the need for thermoelectric energy materials including non-conventional materials for heating and cooling applications in thermoelectric energy-efficient devices. In addition to the fundamentals, functionalities, and classifications associated with thermoelectric energy materials that can be used in industries, this book explores how these materials can contribute to high energy efficiency and sustainability, even though they are used in waste heat recovery systems. Climate change and global warming are also taken into consideration.  There's No Ham in Hamburgers: Facts and Folklore About Our Favorite Foods by Kim Zachman, Peter Donnelly English | April 6, 2021 | ISBN: 0762498072 | 144 pages | MOBI | 16 Mb From hot dogs and hamburgers to ice cream and pizza, this fascinating book is full of fun facts and stories of the origins of some of America's most popular foods.  Sarah Tucker, "Therapeutic Prison Art Interventions: Empirical Perspectives " English | ISBN: 3031859901 | 2025 | 196 pages | EPUB | 69 MB This book is an Open Access book. This book discusses engaging prisoners in therapeutic art. It has been prepared for an academic and professional readership and has policy implications for prison governance worldwide. Following years of piloting research, the book presents a prototype for sensitively attuned art therapy delivery that promises new pathways for prisoner rehabilitation. The book is grounded in empirical inquiry, rests on a unique triangulated methodology, and presents results that are informed by the experience of acquiring artistry in incarceration. It also features data from a public art exhibition showcasing prisoner art generated 'on the inside'. Offering recommendations for research, policy and practice, this book will be a welcome resource for researchers, art therapists, chaplaincy and parole services, criminologists, and policymakers, among others.  Therapeutic Improvisation: How to Stop Winging It and Own It as a Therapist (The Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology) by Michael Alcée English | May 17, 2022 | ISBN: 132401959X | 288 pages | EPUB | 2.46 Mb Putting together what you learned in grad school and beyond into a coherent voice that is both personalized and professional.  Therapeutic Education: Working Alongside Troubled and Troublesome Children By John Cornwall 2006 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 0415366615 | PDF | 1 MB The role of therapy in schools is a topic that has been significantly under-researched and often overlooked. Considering the number of students in full-time education with serious emotional and behavioural difficulties, the skills and tricks used by therapists can be usefully passed on to teachers in the classroom. This book traces a substantial four-year project that applied the principles of therapeutic education in one school setting and exposed how current educational contexts actually contribute to disaffection and disruption of young people's learning. The authors propose a practical model of school and curricular experience, based on therapeutic relationships, that has led to outstanding positive results in school development. With suugestions throughout for tried-and-tested strategies that really work, this bookwill help professionals turn troubled young people's experience of education from the nightmare it often is, into an adventure with positive results for lifelong learning.  Therapeutic Communities for Children and Young People (Therapeutic Communities, 10) By Kajelan Kasinski, Jane Pooley, Alan Worthington 2003 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 1843100967 | PDF | 2 MB Whilst there is now a growing canon of literature on Therapeutic Communities both in general and in different contexts, relatively little has been written about TCs for children and young people. This book tackles the subject directly, providing a perspective that focuses on the institutional context in which therapeutic work takes place and the theories and principles that underpin these settings. It deals with how TCs for children differ from other types of institution, discusses the growing and elaborate body of regulation, documentation and training that surrounds children's residential settings and looks at how therapeutic practices operate within these standards. Useful to social work, health care and education professionals, it gives an understanding of the history of TCs for children, the implications for the institutions themselves and, most importantly, what it might mean for those who hope to be helped by them.  Theory of Orbit Determination By Milani Andrea, Gronchi Giovanni 2009 | 392 Pages | ISBN: 0521873894 | PDF | 4 MB Determining orbits for natural and artificial celestial bodies is an essential step in the exploration and understanding of the Solar System. However, recent progress in the quality and quantity of data from astronomical observations and spacecraft tracking has generated orbit determination problems which cannot be handled by classical algorithms. This book presents new algorithms capable of handling the millions of bodies which could be observed by next generation surveys, and which can fully exploit tracking data with state-of-the-art levels of accuracy. After a general mathematical background and summary of classical algorithms, the new algorithms are introduced using the latest mathematical tools and results, to which the authors have personally contributed. Case studies based on actual astronomical surveys and space missions are provided, with applications of these new methods. Intended for graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, physics, astronomy and aerospace engineering, this book is also of interest to non-professional astronomers.  Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing - SAT 2007: 10th International Conference, SAT 2007, Lisbon, Portugal, May 28-31, 2007, Proceedings (Lecture ... Computer Science and General Issues) By Joao Marques-Silva, Karem A. Sakallah 2007 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 3540727876 | PDF | 4 MB This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2007, held in Lisbon, Portugal in May 2007. The 22 revised full papers presented together with 12 revised short papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully selected from 74 submissions. All current research issues in propositional and quantified Boolean formula satisfiability testing are covered. The papers are organized in topical sections on encodings, max-SAT and pseudo-boolean, structure, local search, QBF, complete algorithms, proofs and cores, as well as applications.  Theorising the Postcolonial Eco-Novel: Unsettlement and the Nonhuman in Australian Ecofiction (Literatures, Cultures, and the Environment) by Rachel Fetherston English | November 16, 2025 | ISBN: 3032044650 | 240 pages | PDF, EPUB | 3.50 Mb This book explores how contemporary Australian ecofiction interrogates and challenges settler-colonial conceptions of nature and the nonhuman through a close-reading of nine Australian eco-novels. Fetherston's reading reveals the representation of the nonhuman in different contexts and the ability of fiction to destabilise settler claims on Australian land and the nonhuman. Texts covered include a combination of texts by First Nations authors, non-Indigenous Anglo-Celtic Australian authors writing within a settler-colonial literary tradition, and non-Indigenous Australian authors whose novels reflect diasporic literary practices. Fetherston argues that Australian ecofiction authors have established over the last decade a postcolonising eco-literary framework that connects the concepts of nonhuman agency and more-than human relationality with the notion of unsettlement, or unsettled belonging, in the context of the climate crisis.
