A Second Modernism: MIT Press

Książki

After World War II, a second modernism emerged in architecture?an attempt, in architectural scholar Joan Ockman?s words, ?to transform architecture from a ?soft? aesthetic discipline into a ?hard,? objectively verifiable field of design expertise.? Architectural thought was influenced by linguistic, behavioral, computational, mediatic, cybernetic, and other urban and behavioral models, as well as systems-based and artificial intelligence theories. This nearly 1,000-page book examines the ?techno-social? turn in architecture, taking MIT?s School of Architecture and Planning as its exemplar.In essays and interviews, prominent architectural historians and educators examine the postwar ?research-industrial? complex, its attendant cult of expertise, and its influence on life and letters both in America and abroad. Paying particular attention to the ways that technological thought affected the culture of the humanities, the social sciences, and architectural design, the book traces this shift toward complexity as it unfolded, from classroom practices to committee deliberations, from the challenges of research to the vicissitudes of funding. Looking closely at the ways that funded research drew academics towards a ?problem-solving? and relevance-seeking mentality and away from the imported Bauhaus model of intuition and aesthetics, the book reveals how linguistics, information sciences, operations research, computer technology, and systems theory became part of architecture?s expanded toolkit.This is a history not just of a school of architecture but of the research-oriented era itself. It offers a thoroughgoing exploration of the ways that policies, politics, and pedagogy transformed themselves in accord with the exponential growth of institutional power.

Digital Games in Language Learning and Teaching Palgrave Macmillan

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Recent years have seen a growing interest in the pedagogical benefits of digital games, which have the potential to engage learners and to encourage interaction in the target language. The use of digital games in language education is based on the premise that successful learning is integrated into the sociocultural context of learners' lives and encourages collaboration and lifelong learning, bridging learning within and outside the language classroom. However, the potential of digital games has not been properly investigated from a second language learning and teaching perspective. This volume presents the first dedicated collection of papers to bring together the state-of-the-art in research into game-based learning. It includes theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented contributions and as such will appeal to anyone with an interest in the most recent developments in language education.

Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes Springer Nature Switzerland AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The ultimate objective of this book is to present a panoramic view of the main stochastic processes with an impact on applications including complete proofs and exercises. Random processes play a central role in the applied sciences such as operations research, insurance, finance, biology, physics, computer and communications networks and signal processing, among others. In order to help the reader to reach the level of technical autonomy sufficient to understand the presented models, this book includes a reasonable dose of probability theory. On the other hand, the study of stochastic processes gives an opportunity to apply the main theoretical results of probability theory beyond classroom examples and in a non-trivial manner that makes this discipline look more attractive for the applications oriented student. One can distinguish three parts in this book. The first four chapters are about probability theory, Chapters 5 to 8 about random sequences, or discrete-time stochastic processes, and the rest of the book about stochastic processes and point processes. There is sufficient modularity for the instructor or the self-teaching reader to design a course or a study program adapted to her/his specific needs. This book is in a large measure self-contained.

Fundamentals of Geothermal Heat Pump Systems Springer, Berlin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Fundamentals of Geothermal Heat Pump Systems: Design and Application is written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in renewable energy and heat transfer. This classroom-tested text covers ground heat exchanger modeling, secondary loop ground-source system design, pumping energy, thermal response testing, commercial building applications, and horizontal and groundwater ground heat exchangers.  The book is oriented to practical applications, including the economic analysis of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems, but more theoretical sections are provided covering research-related geothermal applications. Chapters on heat transfer fundamentals and heat pump concepts are included for readers less familiar with thermal engineering concepts. A chapter covering the economic analysis of GSHP systems is also included. All of the examples and problems in the book are solved using the open-source Python programming language.The book will provide students in geothermal energy courses with a solid understanding of the subject. It will also be a valuable reference for professionals working in the field of renewable energy.
