Providing new and challenging ways of understanding the medieval in
the modern and vice versa, The Medieval Motion Picture: The
Politics of Adaptation highlights how medieval aesthetic experience
breathes life into contemporary cinema. Engaging with the subject
of time and temporality, the essays examine the politics of
adaptation and our contemporary entanglement with the medieval: not
only in overtly medieval-themed films but also in such diverse
genres as thrillers, horror films, performance animation, and even
science fiction. Among the films and TV shows discussed are
productions such as HBO's award winning series Game of Thrones,
Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, Akira Kurosawa's Ran,
and M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense.

This book is dedicated to the numerical modeling of shallow
geothermal systems. The utilization of shallow geothermal energy
involves the integration of multiple Borehole Heat Exchangers (BHE)
with Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems to provide heating and
cooling. The modeling practices explained in this book can improve
the efficiency of these increasingly common systems. The book
begins by explaining the basic theory of heat transport processes
in man-made as well as natural media. . These techniques are then
applied to the simulation of borehole heat exchangers and their
interaction with the surrounding soil. The numerical and analytical
models are verified against analytical solutions and measured data
from a Thermal Response Test, and finally, a real test site is
analyzed through the model and discussed with regard to BHE and
GSHP system design and optimization.
