Biomimicry for Materials, Design and Habitats

Resumen del Ebook

Biomimicry for Materials, Design and Habitats: Innovations and Applications and is a survey of the recent work of recognized experts in a variety of fields who employ biomimicry and related paradigms to solve key problems of interest within design, science, technology, and society. Topics covered include innovations from biomimicry in materials, product design, architecture, and biological sciences. The book is a useful resource for educators, designers, researchers, engineers, and materials scientists, taking them from the theory behind biomimicry to real world applications. Living systems have evolved innovative solutions to challenges that humans face on a daily basis. Nonlinear multifunctional systems that have a symbiotic relationship with their environment are the domain of nature. Morphological solutions for buildings inspired by nature can be used for skins, surfaces, and structures to facilitate environmental adaptation of buildings to increase occupant comfort and reduce energy demands. Birds can teach us to produce novel structures, 3D printing can be informed by oysters and mussels, and mycelium may show us the way to fabricate new biocomposites in architecture. Therefore, it is in nature that we seek inspiration for the solutions to tomorrow’s challenges. Presents new directions in education and the various applications of biomimicry within industry, including bio-inspired entrepreneurship Discusses the role of biomimicry in education, innovation, and product design Covers applications in systems engineering and design, novel materials with applications in 3D printing, and bio-inspired architecture Includes perspectives on sustainability detailing the role that bio-inspiration or biomimicry plays in sustainability

Introducción a la termotransferencia

Estas notas se han escrito como material didáctico para los estudiantes de ingeniería de perfil mecánico, aunque puede ser utilizada por otras especialidades, sobre todo en los temas fundamentales. En ella se pretende darle al alumno la posibilidad de contrastar con sus notas de clases y así darle la oportunidad de comprender mejor las ideas transmitidas por su profesor. De acuerdo con los objetivos de un aprendizaje adecuado de los fundamentos de la termotransferencia, se proporciona una panorámica general de los aspectos fundamentales de la teoría de los procesos de termotransferencia ...

Modern Food Microbiology

This fifth edition of Modern Food Microbiology places special emphasis on foodborne microorganisms, as the previous four editions attempted to do. A good understanding of the basic biology of foodborne organisms is more critical for food scientists now than in previous decades. With so many microbiologists in the 1990s devoting their attention to genes and molecules, one objective of this text is to provide a work that places emphasis on entire microbial cells as well as their genes and molecules. For textbook usage, this edition is best suited for a second or subsequent course in...

La necesidad de innovar

El BID presenta este documento con la esperanza de contribuir al conocimiento de la situación de la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación en nuestra región, para proveer elementos para la Cumbre, y para las medidas a ser implementadas en el futuro cercano. Con ese fin, el documento convoca a expandir la cooperación UE-ALC y a la consolidación de una fuerte sociedad. Hoy, los desafíos socio-económicos más importantes -el cambio climático, por ejemplo- no son exclusivos de un país o una región; en cambio, deben ser atendidos a escala mundial. Como la mayor fuente de financiamiento...

Topics in Audiovisual Translation

The late twentieth-century transition from a paper-oriented to a media-oriented society has triggered the emergence of Audiovisual Translation as the most dynamic and fastest developing trend within Translation Studies. The growing interest in this area is a clear indication that this discipline is going to set the agenda for the theory, research, training and practice of translation in the twenty-first century. Even so, this remains a largely underdeveloped field and much needs to be done to put Screen Translation, Multimedia Translation or the wider implications of Audiovisual Translation...
