Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siguiendo la estela de algunos títulos ya clásicos de Francis D. K. Ching, como Manual de dibujo arquitectónico y Arquitectura. Forma, espacio y orden, este nuevo libro, escrito en colaboración con Ian M. Shapiro, expone en forma de manual básico ilustrado, práctico y accesible, las cuestiones fundamentales de la arquitectura ecológica y sostenible. El libro propone un recorrido del exterior al interior: comienza por el emplazamiento y su entorno, sigue por las diversas envolventes del edificio, y termina con el análisis de los aspectos ambientales de la iluminación, la calefacción o los sistemas de climatización. Un recorrido donde se exploran distintos temas transversales, como el ahorro de agua o materiales, la calidad ambiental interior o el uso de energías renovables. El conjunto ofrece una exploración completa y metódica de la arquitectura ecológica exponiendo los temas clave, un marco teórico básico y estrategias concretas para proyectar bajo el paradigma de la sostenibilidad. Las ilustraciones que detallan estos principios y discusiones, realizadas por el maestro Francis D. K. Ching, conforman una magnífica guía visual para el proyecto y la construcción de edificios ecológicos, y hacen de este libro un manual único que pronto será referencia ineludible en el ámbito de la arquitectura y la construcción sostenibles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este libro se describe la base conceptual de un nuevo paradigma ecológico en arquitectura, y un proceso de diseño capaz de lograr una arquitectura perfectamente integrada en el ecosistema. En la primera parte del libro se establece con detalle una metodología proyectual, en base a 39 indicadores ecológicos, que permite el diseño de cualquier tipo de edificio con el máximo nivel ecológico posible, y al mismo tiempo se puede utilizar como sistema de evaluación y calificación del nivel ecológico de edificios ya proyectados, o construidos. En la segunda parte del libro se analizan con profundidad un amplio número de innovadores proyectos realizados por el Doctor Arquitecto Luis De Garrido, máximo exponente global en arquitectura ecológica y bioclimática, utilizando la metodología descrita, y que suponen diferentes manifestaciones de un mismo paradigma. El libro tiene un fuerte carácter académico, y al mismo tiempo tiene un fuerte carácter práctico y constituye un manual de referencia y una eficaz herramienta profesional. Sin duda, MANUAL DE ARQUITECTURA ECOLOGICA AVANZADA es un libro que inspirará a las generaciones futuras para entender la complejidad del proceso de diseño para lograr una verdadera arquitectura ecológica, plenamente integrada en el ecosistema del planeta Tierra.

Download or read book Banana Genomics and Transgenic Approaches for Genetic Improvement written by Sukhada Mohandas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bananas and plantains are among the most important food and cash crops in the world. They are cultivated in more than 135 countries, across the tropics and subtropics, with an annual global production of ca. 130 million metric tonnes. Though bananas are one of the most important components of food security in many developing countries, banana production is threatened by both abiotic and biotic stresses. These include a wide range of diseases and pests, such as bunchy top virus, burrowing nematodes, black Sigatoka or black leaf streak, Fusarium wilt, etc. In recent years, considerable progress has been made and several biotechnological and genomic tools have been employed to help understand and unravel the mysterious banana genome. Molecular and genomic studies have helped to decipher the Musa genome and its evolution. Genetic linkage map and whole genome sequencing of both Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana (progenitors of cultivated banana) have completely changed the way of thinking and the approach on banana crop improvement. Whole-genome sequencing has helped to improve the selection of quantitative traits such as yield, as well as the selection of optimal parents for developing required hybrids in breeding programs. Gene isolation and the analysis of mutants have helped in the characterization of genes of agronomic value and the associated regulatory sequences. With the advent of molecular markers and new statistical tools, it is now possible to measure the diversity, identify genes and useful alleles linked to important agronomic traits. Further these alleles can be incorporated into cultivars through marker assisted selection or through transgenic approach. Transgenic approaches are potential tools for direct transfer of these genes into popular cultivars, which are generally not amenable for conventional breeding techniques, in specific with crops such as bananas which are sterile, triploid and heterozygous thereby making it difficult to reconstruct the recurrent genotypes in banana. Transgenic techniques thus have helped overcome the difficulty of working with sterile, triploid banana crop. In the last five years, enormous amount of new information and techniques have been generated for banana. A comprehensive book entitled “Banana: Genomics and Transgenic Approaches for Genetic improvement” on banana genomics, latest transgenic technologies and tools available for improved crop development in banana will address all these requirements.
Download or read book Crop Improvement written by Khalid Rehman Hakeem and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The improvement of crop species has been a basic pursuit since cultivation began thousands of years ago. To feed an ever increasing world population will require a great increase in food production. Wheat, corn, rice, potato and few others are expected to lead as the most important crops in the world. Enormous efforts are made all over the world to document as well as use these resources. Everybody knows that the introgression of genes in wheat provided the foundation for the “Green Revolution”. Later also demonstrated the great impact that genetic resources have on production. Several factors are contributing to high plant performance under different environmental conditions, therefore an effective and complementary use of all available technological tools and resources is needed to meet the challenge.

Download or read book Gold and Power in Ancient Costa Rica Panama and Colombia written by Jeffrey Quilter and published by Dumbarton Oaks. This book was released on 2003 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lands between Mesoamerica and the Central Andes are famed for the rich diversity of ancient cultures that inhabited them. Throughout this vast region, from about AD 700 until the sixteenth-century Spanish invasion, a rich and varied tradition of goldworking was practiced. The amount of gold produced and worn by native inhabitants was so great that Columbus dubbed the last New World shores he sailed as Costa Rica—the "Rich Coast." Despite the long-recognized importance of the region in its contribution to Pre-Columbian culture, very few books are readily available, especially in English, on these lands of gold. Gold and Power in Ancient Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia now fills that gap with eleven articles by leading scholars in the field. Issues of culture change, the nature of chiefdom societies, long-distance trade and transport, ideologies of value, and the technologies of goldworking are covered in these essays as are the role of metals as expressions and materializations of spiritual, political, and economic power. These topics are accompanied by new information on the role of stone statuary and lapidary work, craft and trade specialization, and many more topics, including a reevaluation of the concept of the "Intermediate Area." Collectively, the volume provides a new perspective on the prehistory of these lands and includes articles by Latin American scholars whose writings have rarely been published in English.
