Tanveer Ahmed Livres

Exploring the complex relationship between shame, group identity, and mental health, Dr. Tanveer Ahmed critiques the societal tendency to stigmatize negative emotions as part of a broader "tyranny of the positive." He posits that this repression of shame hinders personal growth and contributes to rising mental health issues like anxiety and self-harm, often rooted in unacknowledged shame. Through historical context and contemporary analysis, the book delves into how embracing all emotions can foster better mental well-being.

The book presents a techno-economic model aimed at integrating renewable energy sources into Canada's power generation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It employs a methodology based on simulating price variations, revealing that a 10% shift to renewable energy is both feasible and cost-effective. The findings emphasize the importance of a supportive policy framework, suggesting that such a transition can be achieved without relying on feed-in tariffs or loan-based financing.

The book explores the concept of control in industrial automation, detailing how physical variables like pressure and temperature are maintained at desired levels through measurement and correction. It highlights the significance of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), which have revolutionized various industries over the past two decades. The text emphasizes the flexibility of PLCs in automating machines and systems by employing tailored programming. Additionally, it introduces a control panel simulator designed to aid students in becoming proficient PLC users.

With humor and honesty, he recounts his adventures, from enjoying Aussie cuisine to joining a cricket team that faces misunderstandings. The narrative highlights the unexpected stories that arise from cultural clashes, illustrating how diverse identities shape an individual's journey.

Von der Fakultät für Umweltwissenschaften und Verfahrenstechnik der Brandenburgischen Technischen Universität Cottbus zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktor-Ingenieurs (Dr.-Ing.) genehmigte Dissertation. The indirect impacts of energy use in form of depletion of natural resources, degradation of environment and threats to human health have evolved a change from conventional to renewable energy sources (RES) over the last century. This dissertation analyzes the technical potential of a spectrum of five key RES technologies involved in power generation. It assesses the associate impacts and projected costs of implementation of each technology and categorizes them into different time frames of implementation. The main research challenge was the equilibrium-constraint between cost efficiency and environmental impacts. A pragmatic approach has been adopted to integrate RES systematically into a highly centralized conventional power system of a selected region. The end scenario is the portfolio of a system generating 100% green power with economic vitality.
