Designing with Solar Power is the result of international
collaborative research and development work carried out within the
framework of the International Energy Agency's Photovoltaic Power
Systems Programme (PVPS) and performed within its Task 7 on
'Photovoltaic power systems in the built environment'. Each chapter
of this precisely detailed and informative book has been prepared
by an international expert in a specific area related to the
development, use and application of building-integrated
photovoltaics (BiPV). Chapters not only cover the basics of solar
power and electrical concepts, but also investigate the ways in
which photovoltaics can be integrated into the design and creation
of buildings equipped for the demands of the 21st century. The
potential for BiPV, in both buildings and other structures, is
explored together with broader issues such as market deployment,
and international marketing and government strategies. In addition,
more than 20 contemporary international case studies describe in
detail how building-integrated photovoltaics have been applied to
new and existing buildings, and discuss the architectural and
technical quality, and the success of various strategies. Packed
with photographs and illustrations, this book is an invaluable
companion for architects, builders, designers, engineers, students
and all involved with the exciting possibilities of
building-integrated photovoltaics.

This volume is the second of the new two-volume Plant Biotechnology
set. This volume covers many recent advances in the development of
transgenic plants that have revolutionized our concepts of
sustainable food production, cost-effective alternative energy
strategies, microbial biofertilizers and biopesticides, and disease
diagnostics through plant biotechnology. With the advancements in
plant biotechnology, many of the customary approaches are out of
date, and an understanding of new updated approaches is needed.
This volume presents information related to recent methods of
genetic transformation, gene silencing, development of transgenic
crops, biosafety issues, microbial biotechnology, oxidative stress,
and plant disease diagnostics and management. Key features:
Provides an in-depth knowledge of various techniques of genetic
transformation of plants, chloroplast, and fungus Describes
advances in gene silencing in plants Discusses transgenic plants
for various traits and their application in crop improvement Looks
at genetically modified foods and biodiesel production Describes
biotechnological approaches in horticultural and ornamental plants
Explores the biosafety aspect associated with transgenic crops
Considers the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture

This book, first of this new two-volume set, provides an
informative tour of the basics of biotechnology to recent advances
in biotechnology. Knowledge of new and fresh approaches is a
prerequisite to solving plant biological problems, and to this end,
the editors have brought together a group of contributors who
address the most recent techniques and their applications in plant
biotechnology. The chapters discuss some recent techniques such as
TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions In Genomes), advances in
molecular techniques to study diversity, protein purification, and
methods and analysis in protein-protein interaction detection. The
volume also covers molecular markers and QTL mapping, including
four chapters that deal with different molecular markers,
development of mapping populations, and association mapping for
dissecting the genetic basis of complex traits in plants in
sufficient detail. The knowledge of biotechnology techniques and
their applications will be valuable for researchers and scientists
as well as for the many students engaged in plant biotechnology
studies.
Recent advances in the development of transgenic plants have
revolutionized our concepts of sustainable food production,
cost-effective alternative energy strategies, microbial
biofertilizers and biopesticides, and disease diagnostics through
plant biotechnology. As a result, a number of transgenic plants
have been developed with improved traits. With the advancement of
plant biotechnology, many of the customary approaches are out of
date. This new two-volume set, Plant Biotechnology, provides a
plethora of current knowledge on new as well as fresh approaches
that are necessary to address biological problems in plant food
production. The volumes provide an informative tour of plant
biotechnology, covering the basics of biotechnology to recent
advances, taking a thorough look at applications as well. The
editors have brought together a respected group of contributors who
address the most recent techniques and their applications in plant
biotechnology. Volume 1 covers the principles, techniques, and
applications while Volume 2 delves into transgenics, stress
management, and biosafety issues. The volumes share recent
information related to recent methods of genetic transformation,
gene silencing, development of transgenic crops, biosafety issues,
microbial biotechnology, oxidative stress, plant disease
diagnostics and management, and more. Broken into subsections, the
two volumes cover: History, scope and importance of plant
biotechnology Plant tissue culture Techniques in molecular biology
Molecular markers and QTL mapping Genetic transformation Gene
silencing in plant Transgenic crops and biosafety Microbial
biotechnology Oxidative stress Plant disease diagnostics and
management This two-volume set will be a valuable resource for
research and university libraries as well as for the many students
engaged in plant biotechnology studies as well as faculty and
researchers.

This book focuses on the transition towards net-zero carbon built
environments to deliver on the climate emergency. It provides an
evidence-based roadmap and proposes guidelines to achieving targets
covering emerging technologies, materials, innovative design,
regulations and policies.
This book focuses on the challenge that Australia faces in
transitioning to renewable energy and regenerating its cities via a
transformation of its built environment. Both are necessary
conditions for low carbon living in the 21st century. This is a
global challenge represented by the United Nation's Sustainable
Development Goals and the IPCC's Climate Change program and its
focus on mitigation and adaptation. All nations must make
significant contributions to this transformation. This book
highlights the new knowledge and innovation that has emerged from
research projects undertaken in the Co-operative Research Centre
for Low Carbon Living between 2012 and 2019 - an initiative of the
Australian Government's Department of Industry, Science and
Technology that is tasked with responding to the UN challenges.
Four principal transition pathways were central to the CRC and
provide the thematic structure to this volume. They focus on
technology, buildings, precinct and city design, and human
behaviour - and their interactions.
