Book Description
El presente libro realiza una aproximación a los conocimientos necesarios para comprender y diseñar una instalación solar fotovoltaica, ya sea un sistema conectado a la red de distribución o aislado a la misma. Después de una breve introducción histórica sobre la energía fotovoltaica, el libro trata las áreas necesarias para un correcto dimensionamiento de una instalación. Como, por ejemplo, en el capítulo radiación solar se estudia el espectro solar y la geometría Tierra –Sol, además de las posibles pérdidas que estos dos factores pueden originar, las conocidas como pérdidas por orientación e inclinación y las pérdidas por sombras. En el libro también existe un capítulo donde se estudia el fenómeno físico que origina la conversión de la potencia solar a potencia eléctrica y el dispositivo donde se lleva a cabo la conversión, la célula solar. El libro termina explicando las consideraciones que se debe tener para la fabricación de células solares y como se debe de realizar un dimensionado de las instalaciones fotovoltaicas, tanto aisladas como conectadas a la red.

King Lucius of Britain
Author: David J Knight
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0752474464
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
While everyone knows the story of King Arthur, few will have heard of King Lucius, a figure who has been consigned to myth and largely forgotten in the annals of British history. Examining the primary sources as well as the archaeological evidence for this second century king, David Knight convincingly refutes the generally accepted view expounded at the beginning of the twentieth century that identifies Lucius as King Abgarus of Edessa. He reconstructs the story of this fascinating figure, who applied to the Pope for formal baptism in AD 177, making him the first Christian King in Britain, and traces the history of the story of Lucius, separating the myth from reality and attempting to restore this King to his rightful place in British history.

Political Justice
Author: Otfried Höffe
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745694772
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Otfried Höffe is one of the foremost political philosophers in Europe today. In this major work, already a classic in continental Europe, he re-examines philosophical discourse on justice - from Classical Greece to the present day. Höffe confronts what he sees as the two major challenges to any theory of justice: the legal, positivist claim that there are no standards of justice external to legal systems; and the anarchist claim that justice demands the rejection and abolition of all legal and state systems. Höffe sets out to continue the 'philosophical project of modernity', the legitimation of human rights, and their guarantee by the state, while at the same time rehabilitating the classical theory of political justice represented by Plato and Aristotle. He questions the success of the positivists in avoiding extra-legal normative claims, and casts doubt on the plausibility of their criticism of the Natural Law tradition. Most anarchists, he argues, rely on an uncritical assumption that social institutions other than states and legal orders do not coerce. In Höffe's view, some coercion is unavoidable, and the grounds for its justification must be examined. Principles of justice will be those principles which define fundamental rights, and which must be enforced if rights are to be respected.

Energy and the Wealth of Nations
Author: Charles A. S. Hall
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441993983
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
For the past 150 years, economics has been treated as a social science in which economies are modeled as a circular flow of income between producers and consumers. In this “perpetual motion” of interactions between firms that produce and households that consume, little or no accounting is given of the flow of energy and materials from the environment and back again. In the standard economic model, energy and matter are completely recycled in these transactions, and economic activity is seemingly exempt from the Second Law of Thermodynamics. As we enter the second half of the age of oil, and as energy supplies and the environmental impacts of energy production and consumption become major issues on the world stage, this exemption appears illusory at best. In Energy and the Wealth of Nations, concepts such as energy return on investment (EROI) provide powerful insights into the real balance sheets that drive our “petroleum economy.” Hall and Klitgaard explore the relation between energy and the wealth explosion of the 20th century, the failure of markets to recognize or efficiently allocate diminishing resources, the economic consequences of peak oil, the EROI for finding and exploiting new oil fields, and whether alternative energy technologies such as wind and solar power meet the minimum EROI requirements needed to run our society as we know it. This book is an essential read for all scientists and economists who have recognized the urgent need for a more scientific, unified approach to economics in an energy-constrained world, and serves as an ideal teaching text for the growing number of courses, such as the authors’ own, on the role of energy in society.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Rewire your brain for investing success As an investment advisor to high net worth individuals, Wai-Yee Chen has spent years watching her clients make investment decisions—some good decisions and some not-so-good decisions. Though confronted by the same market variables, those clients often make very different choices with very different results. Here, Chen argues that it's usually not the data that affects investor decision-making as much as the way investors themselves think. In NeuroInvesting, Chen argues that investors can change the way they think in order to change the way they invest. She presents four elements that affect investor decision-making and reveals how investors can rewire their brains to make better investing decisions for better returns. Uses neuroscience to explain how successful investors think different Written by an experienced investment advisor who works at one of Australia's premier retail brokers Explains investing using real-world stories about investors from an advisor's perspective When it comes to investing, how you think has a huge impact on how you make investing decisions. Based on the real science of how people think, NeuroInvesting offers every investor a chance to change the way they invest by changing the way they think.
