An important consideration for energy-efficient buildings is their primary energy requirements over the entire life cycle. How to determine this? What integrative factors influence the performance of a healthy and sustainable building? This, while it may be important for clients and architects to know, is frequently not very transparent.This book has been written to assist with clarifying target criteria and expanding horizons when it comes to ecological buildings. It is meant as a handbook and source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators, to provide them with pertinent information about their design, construction and how to do this in the most energy-efficient and economical manner?Also, there is feedback and documentation about prominent buildings like the Hamburg Dockland or the Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg in Stuttgart. They provide excellent architectural examples for detailed construction and design solutions. Further, there are insightful interviews with architects and clients about many important buildings, which help turn this book into an integrated source of reference for sustainable architecture. - A Guideline for Planning, Construction and Operation of sustainable Buildings- A source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators- Innovative architectural examples with sustainable concepts and design
This book is a practical, up-to-date guide to the correct use of lithium for the short- and long-term treatment of mood disorders. Among the subjects addressed are the pharmacology and mechanisms of action of lithium, its use for maintenance treatment, the role of lithium in the treatment of mania and depression and in suicide prevention, further clinical indications, the administration of lithium during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and adverse effects and their management. Relevant background information is provided on the diagnosis, classification, and natural course of mood disorders, and an overview of other treatments for bipolar disorder and major depression is included. Lithium is the essential medication for patients with mood disorders. The evidence of its efficacy in maintenance treatment is acknowledged in all major international treatment guidelines for bipolar disorders and, when used correctly, lithium unquestionably produces the most dramatic benefits of any medication in psychopharmacology. This essential guide is written by two international experts in the treatment of mood disorders who have more than 25 years of experience in the use of lithium and have authored numerous scientific articles on lithium.

AND REAL OPTIONS TO VALUE FLEXIBILITY IN REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
The study explores capital budgeting methods employed in real estate development, revealing that over 90% of firms utilize a combination of NPV and IRR methods for project evaluation. While traditional methods like the payback period are still prevalent, the research highlights a significant shift towards more sophisticated approaches. Additionally, methods such as the profitability index and return on equity are noted, though the adoption of decision tree and real option analyses remains minimal. The findings indicate a growing convergence between theory and practice in capital budgeting.
caused by the excitation laser (local heating) and surface damage by UV-lasers
Raman spectroscopy serves as a crucial technique for material characterization, enabling optical assessment of mechanical stress and material identification. It excels in analyzing stress fields in materials like silicon and silicon carbide, particularly under mechanical loading. Precise stress measurements require careful consideration of thermally induced shifts in Raman peaks, as focused light can locally heat samples. This understanding aids in optimizing manufacturing processes and enhancing the reliability of micro devices, while also facilitating compositional mapping of heterogeneous materials and detecting alterations induced by the excitation laser.
