Practical Geophysical Technology and Application for Lithological Reservoirs


Free Download Huandi Wang, "Practical Geophysical Technology and Application for Lithological Reservoirs "
English | ISBN: 9811641994 | 2021 | 124 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book introduces new geological analysis and geophysical methods and techniques for lithological reservoir exploration. It puts forward a set of practical geophysical methods and techniques aimed at lithological reservoirs in China. From a practical point of view, the book systematically analyses geophysical methods and technique principles, applied steps, key problems and caution notes in lithological exploration. The lessons of the book are demonstrated with a case study of the Songliao Basin, which has a large area with a low density of lithological reservoirs, indicating the methods and techniques that can identify lithological reservoirs. It is unique in its fusion of theory, method and technology and practice.

Photovoltaic Technology for Hot and Arid Environments (Energy Engineering)


Free Download Photovoltaic Technology for Hot and Arid Environments (Energy Engineering) by Brahim Aïssa, Nouar Tabet
English | August 29, 2023 | ISBN: 178561911X | 362 pages | MOBI | 23 Mb
The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels necessitates accelerated deployment of renewable energy, such as photovoltaics (PV). Regions with high insolation in the "Sun Belt" covering north Africa and the middle east, as well as in Australia, parts of Latin America, and elsewhere offer tremendous potential for PV, including for green hydrogen production. However, these regions are characterized by a hot climate and a dusty environment, both causing reduction of PV panel performance by 25% or more. The development of solar cells with enhanced resistance to thermal degradation and the reduction of panel soiling have therefore been subjects of intense study.

Peopling Marketing, Organization, and Technology


Free Download Dirk vom Lehn, "Peopling Marketing, Organization, and Technology "
English | ISBN: 1138957976 | 2024 | 254 pages | EPUB, PDF | 4 MB + 6 MB
Peopling Marketing, Organization, and Technology takes an interactionist attitude to study the organization of marketing interaction and the embedding of technology within that organization. By analysing clear illustrative studies, this book explicates the interactionist attitude and demonstrates that production, placing, promotion, and pricing are achieved in, and through, marketing interaction. The studies investigate marketing interaction on street-markets, decision-making about the digitalization of supermarkets, the design of exhibitions and social media to generate memorable experiences, the interactive experiencing of exhibits, and the development of guiding visions in the promotion of Virtual Reality. The analyses reveal the practical and social organization of actions through which marketing and consumption are accomplished. By using different interactionist research methods, they show the contribution research using the interactionist attitude can make to marketing and consumer research, as well as to interactionist sociology concerned with marketing interaction. Aimed at academics, researchers, and students in the fields of marketing and consumer research, as well as in social psychology and sociology, this book will encourage scholars and students in marketing and consumer research to shift their focus from the symbolic to marketing interaction.
