Impartiality is a crucial element in resolving conflicts, particularly when navigating disputes between friends. It serves as a foundation for effective communication and fosters an environment where both parties feel heard and respected. When one remains neutral, it allows for a more balanced perspective, giving each individual the opportunity to express their feelings and viewpoints without fear of judgment or bias. This approach not only aids in understanding the root of the conflict but also paves the way for mutual resolution and healing.

Carbon-Neutral Architectural Design (3rd Edition)


Free Download Carbon-Neutral Architectural Design
English | 2024 | ISBN: 0367857391 | 473 Pages | PDF (True) | 415 MB
The energy used to build and operate buildings is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. While it is possible to reduce emissions through low-carbon design, many architects are not trained to do this. Filling an urgent need for a design reference in this emerging field, this book describes how to reduce building-related greenhouse gas emissions through appropriate design techniques. It presents strategies to achieve CO2 reductions, with an emphasis on control of energy flows through the building envelope and passive cooling and heating strategies. This new, revised edition is updated throughout and includes a new section on embodied carbon and new chapters on daylighting and nature-based cooling.

Neutral-atom Astronomy Plasma Diagnostics From The Aurora To The Interstellar Medium (Advances In Planetary Science)


Free Download Neutral-atom Astronomy: Plasma Diagnostics From The Aurora To The Interstellar Medium (Advances In Planetary Science) by Ke Chiang Hsieh, Eberhard Mobius
English | May 23, 2022 | ISBN: 9813279192 | 328 pages | MOBI | 18 Mb
Astronomy has been associated with the detection of electromagnetic waves or photons from within and beyond the solar system, ranging from Radio to Gamma-ray Astronomy. Particle Astrophysics, including Neutrino and Dark-Matter Astrophysics today, started with the discovery of cosmic rays in 1911. The Space Age expanded particle observations to in-situ studies of lower energy electrons and ions with a variety of charge states in space plasmas traversed by spacecraft. Remote observation of space plasmas became possible only after the discovery of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) in space in 1950. This book is a primer for those who wish to learn more about the origins of ENAs, related detection techniques, and how ENA images and spectra can be used to study space plasmas beyond the reach of spacecraft. It tells a comprehensive story from the first encounters with ENAs in the Earth’s magnetosphere to Neutral-Atom Astronomy of the edge of the heliosphere and the interstellar medium. This story includes how ion mass spectrographs evolved into ENA imagers, overcoming the technical challenges, how to extract information from ENA data, and a variety of diagnostic applications on the magnetosphere, interplanetary space, other solar-system objects, the heliospheric boundary, the local interstellar medium, and a glimpse into the future of Neutral-Atom Astronomy. The authors hope to inform and inspire readers to further enrich this field of study.

Prestigious Discoveries at CERN 1973 Neutral Currents 1983 W & Z Bosons


Free Download Prestigious Discoveries at CERN: 1973 Neutral Currents 1983 W & Z Bosons by Roger Cashmore, Luciano Maiani (CERN Director General), Jean-Pierre Revol
English | PDF | 2003 | 201 Pages | ISBN : 3540207503 | 8.7 MB
The discoveries of neutral currents and of the W and Z bosons marked a watershed in the history of CERN. They established the validity of the electroweak theory and convinced physicists of the importance of renormalizable non-Abelian gauge theories of fundamental interactions. The articles collected in this book have been written by distinguished physicists who contributed in a crucial way to these developments. The book provides a historical account of those discoveries and of the construction and testing of the Standard Model. It also contains a discussion of the future of particle physics and gives an updated status of the LHC and its detectors currently being built at CERN. The book addresses those readers interested in particle physics including the educated public.

Friends and enemies The Allies and neutral Ireland in the Second World War


Free Download Karen Garner, "Friends and enemies: The Allies and neutral Ireland in the Second World War"
English | ISBN: 1526157292 | 2021 | 264 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This history of Anglo-American efforts to overturn Ireland’s neutrality policy during the Second World War adds complexity to the grand narrative of the Western Alliance against the Axis Powers, exploring relatively unexamined emotional, personalised, and gendered politics that underlay policymaking and alliance relations. Friends and enemies combines the methodologies of diplomatic history through its close reliance on archival documentation with attention to new theoretical understandings regarding the roles played by personal friendships and enmities and competing masculine ideologies among national leaders. Including, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Eamon de Valera, and their close foreign policy advisers in London, Washington DC and Dublin, as they constructed national identities and defined their nations’ special relationships in time of war.

Proverbs Are Never Neutral


Free Download Proverbs Are Never Neutral
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031326458 | 316 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 4 MB
This book examines how proverbs can carry ethnonyms and contradictory oppositions in everyday speech, and interrogates the belief that such nuances are national in nature by comparing across languages and cultures. The authors bring together linguistic terms and typologies from Slavonic, Germanic, Romance, Finno-Ugric and Somali proverbs (with their English parallels) to enrich contrastive paremiology. The book pushes the thematic boundaries of the paremiological minima of languages by drawing on fields including sociolinguistics, and it will be of interest to students and scholars of cultural linguistics, comparative cultural studies, sociolinguistics, social identity, anthropology, cognitive semiotics, and the history of words and concepts.
