Boasting the greatest number of Buddhist nuns of any country, Taiwan has a much greater number of nuns than monks. These women are well known and well regarded as dharma teachers and for the social service work that has made them a central part of Taiwan's civil society. In this, the first English-language book on Taiwanese women and Buddhism, author Elise Ann DeVido introduces readers to Taiwan's Buddhist nuns, but also looks at the larger question of how Taiwan's Buddhism shapes and is shaped by women--mainly nuns but also laywomen, who like their clerical sisters flourish in that country. Providing an historical overview of Buddhist women in China and Taiwan, DeVido discusses various reasons for the vibrancy of Taiwan's nuns' orders. She introduces us to the nuns of the best-known of order, the Buddhist Compassion-Relief Foundation (Ciji) as well as those of the Luminary Buddhist Institute. Discussing "Buddhism for the Human Realm," DeVido asks whether this popular philosophy has encouraged and supported the singular strength of Taiwan's Buddhism women.Buddhist nunsTaiwanWomen in BuddhismTaiwanBuddhist nunsWomen in Buddhism294.3/657DeVido Elise Anne1807758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962039603321Taiwan's Buddhist nuns4357650UNINA03773nam 2200553I 450 991104882420332120240116164354.097807277664270727766422(MiAaPQ)EBC30716955(Au-PeEL)EBL30716955(UtOrBLW)9780727766427(CKB)29338060400041(Perlego)4214081(EXLCZ)992933806040004120240116h20232023 uy 0engurun|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAdditive manufacturing for construction /edited by Biranchi Panda (Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), India), Pshtiwan Shakor (University of Technology, Australia), Vittoria Laghi (University of Bologna, Italy)First edition.Leeds, England :Emerald Publishing Limited,[2024]©20241 online resource (257 pages)Includes index.Print version: Panda, Biranchi Additive Manufacturing for Construction Leeds : ICE Publishing,c2023 Includes bibliographical references.Contents and Preliminary Pages -- Concrete additive manufacturing -- Shotcrete additive manufacturing -- Powder bed additive manufacturing -- Wire and arc additive manufacturing -- Advanced modelling for additive manufacturing in construction -- Opportunities and future perspectives -- Index.Additive Manufacturing for Construction reveals additive manufacturing technologies for building and construction applications. It introduces digital and multiuse technologies for civil applications and informs the reader of their design properties and uses. The book explores on-site and off-site construction techniques, and features design strategies in additive manufacturing which will eliminate production difficulties and minimise assembly costs, both from the academic and industrial perspectives. The unique capabilities of additive manufacturing technologies for large-scale applications combined with 'design for manufacturing' strategies are shown, allowing the reader to understand efficient structural shapes and forms which can provide appropriate level of structural performance with reduced use of materials and resources. This book gathers knowledge of multidisciplinary investigations into one book to answer challenges and difficulties faced by the construction industry and includes - extrusion-based concrete additive manufacturing - particle bed additive manufacturing - shotcrete additive manufacturing - wire-and-arc metal additive manufacturing - -simulation modelling of concrete 3D printing Additive Manufacturing for Construction is of interest to those in academia and industry including architects, civil engineers, material engineers, manufacturing and industrial engineers, mechatronic engineers and construction experts with an interest/professional requirement to know about large-scale additive manufacturing technologies.Additive manufacturingConstruction industryTechnology & Engineering, ManufacturingbisacshIndustrial chemistry & manufacturing technologiesbicsscAdditive manufacturing.Construction industry.Technology & Engineering, Manufacturing.Industrial chemistry & manufacturing technologies.620.1/36Panda BiranchiShakor PshtiwanLaghi VittoriaUtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9911048824203321Additive manufacturing for construction4519543UNINA
