Probiotic Cities (Bio Design)


Free Download Probiotic Cities
by Richard Beckett

English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032076097 | 131 pages | True PDF | 13.29 MB
Probiotic Cities covers a body of work that is at the forefront of emerging knowledge within architecture, towards designing informed indoor and built environment microbiomes. Sited within the broader field of Bio Design, the book presents highly experimental design research at the intersection of architecture, engineering and microbiology. The book describes work which explores novel strategies towards directly (re)introducing beneficial microbes into buildings and cities. Through discussion of both the work and the processes and methodologies used, it provides a framework to enable designers and practitioners to begin to engage with contemporary human-microbe relationships towards the design of healthy and resilient cities. The book defines a new microbial paradigm for architecture that engages with broader emerging ecological or ‘more than human’ philosophies for design within the age of the Anthropocene.

Fractal Antenna Design using Bio-inspired Computing Algorithms


Free Download Fractal Antenna Design Using Bio-Inspired Computing Algorithms
by Dhaliwal, Balwinder S.;Pattnaik, Suman;Pattnaik, Shyam Sundar;

English | 2023 | ISBN: 9815136364 | 155 pages | True PDF EPUB | 21.98 MB
This book presents research focused on the design of fractal antennas using bio-inspired computing techniques. The authors present designs for fractal antennas having desirable features like size reduction characteristics, enhanced gain, and improved bandwidths. The research is summarized in six chapters which highlight the important issues related to fractal antenna design and the mentioned computing techniques. Chapters demonstrate several applied concepts and techniques used in the process such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Genetic Algorithms (GAs), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO). The work aims to provide cost-effective and efficient solutions to the demand for compact antennas due to the increasing demand for reduced sizes of components in modern wireless communication devices.
