Franziska Sörgel argues that emotions influence innovations as they are inherent in initial ideas, expectations and habitual evaluation criteria that impact the development process. Instead of assuming that the innovation process is subject to rational and linear creativity, the study adopts the notion of ›moral economies‹ by Lorraine Daston as a space for negotiation. Such an approach enables decision-makers to question the evaluation criteria and patterns for technological developments before implementing them in society.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / GeneralbisacshCultural Anthropology.Economy.Emotion.Moral.Science.Sociology of Science.Sociology of Technology.Sociology.Technology.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General.Sörgel Franziska1770877Karlsruher Institut für Technologyfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910886972603321Emotional Drivers of Innovation4254658UNINA08325nam 22005173 450 991100899550332120231108080226.097898151790959815179098(CKB)28661748400041(MiAaPQ)EBC30867230(Au-PeEL)EBL30867230(Exl-AI)30867230(OCoLC)1409029609(DE-B1597)730340(DE-B1597)9789815179095(Perlego)4278571(EXLCZ)992866174840004120231108d2023 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSemi-Rotary and Linear Actuators for Compressed Air Energy Storage and Energy Efficient Pneumatic Applications1st ed.Sharjah :Bentham Science Publishers,2023.©2023.1 online resource (102 pages)9789815179101 Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- End User License Agreement -- Contents -- Preface -- Introduction and Summary -- 1.

Chapters cover the elementary physical and engineering principles related to compressed air, including compression and expansion characteristics, adiabatic, polytropic, and isothermal phenomena, and energy content within a given volume. The author also discusses the advantages and drawbacks of pneumatic technology and presents innovative ways to increase the energetic efficiency of pneumatic actuators. A key highlight of the book is the introduction of a method to enhance energetic efficiency by incorporating expansion work alongside constant pressure displacement. The author presents an analysis of various cylinder assemblies where energy efficiency is notably improved compared to conventional pneumatic actuators. The book serves as a primary reference for mechanical engineering students and as a handbook for engineers designing efficient pneumatic devices. Key Features: Fundamental and advanced information about actuators and their pneumatic applicationsFocus on energy efficiency testingSystematic chapter order for effective learning progression, with a working example to support comprehensionReferences for further readingAppendices providing additional insights and resources Readership Mechanical engineering students and engineers working on pneumatics.Compressed airGenerated by AIPneumatic control valvesGenerated by AICompressed airPneumatic control valvesRufe Alfred1826291MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911008995503321Semi-Rotary and Linear Actuators for Compressed Air Energy Storage and Energy Efficient Pneumatic Applications4394270UNINA03770oam 2200577 c 450 991097522410332120260202090927.03-8382-7675-29783838276755(MiAaPQ)EBC7135238(Au-PeEL)EBL7135238(CKB)25315255600041(ibidem)9783838276755(EXLCZ)992531525560004120260202d2022 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNational Questions: Theoretical Reflections on Nations and Nationalism in Eastern Europe /Alexander Motyl, Andreas Umland1st ed.Hannoveribidem20221 online resource (313 pages)Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society250Print version: Motyl, Alexander National Questions: Theoretical Reflections on Nations and Nationalism in Eastern Europe Berlin : Ibidem Verlag,c2022 Intro -- Preface -- 1 The Modernity of Nationalism.

Throughout the chapters, Motyl questions conventional wisdom, exposes its inconsistencies and weaknesses, and encourages readers to rethink their views in light of conceptual clarity, theoretical rigor, elementary logic, and empirical evidence.Soviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;Volume 250.Eastern EuropeNationNational DiscoursNationalismNationalismusOsteuropaEastern EuropeNationNational DiscoursNationalismNationalismusOsteuropa947Motyl Alexanderaut1837038Umland AndreasDr.edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910975224103321National Questions: Theoretical Reflections on Nations and Nationalism in Eastern Europe4415358UNINA
