Integration of Thermoelectric Technology in Hybrid Solar Energy Systems brings together the latest developments and highlights emerging trends in the application of thermoelectrics in hybrid solar energy systems, supported by practical guidance and case studies. The book begins by introducing the key concepts of thermoelectrics and hybrid renewable energy systems, with discussion of hybrid system types, methods of hybridization, design, optimization, and performance, as well as detailed coverage of thermoelectrics for cooling and power generation in terms of fundamental physics, underlying equations, modelling and simulation, and analytical, numerical, and hybrid approaches. This is followed by further in-depth chapters focusing on specific application areas, including solar thermoelectric (TE) power generation, hybrid solar PV-TE power generation, hybrid solar thermal-TE heating systems, TE-embedded solar distillations, hybrid solar-TE cooling systems, and solar-TE applications for indoor thermal comfort. A final chapter explores the economics and environmental considerations in the integration of thermoelectric systems in solar energy systems, covering methodologies for applying cost-benefit analyses and life-cycle assessments, and potential environmental benefits. This is a helpful resource to all those looking to stay up-to-date with the latest research developments, to deepen their understanding of the field, or to leverage the latest research findings to inform decision-making and innovation, including researchers, advanced students, faculty, engineers, R&D, scientists, industry professionals, and policy makers.Introduces key concepts of thermoelectrics and hybrid renewable energy systemsCovers solar power generation, cooling, and heating applicationsDraws on the latest research, emerging trends, and case studies

Dieses Buch stellt ein umfangreiches Forschungsprogramm zu epigenetischen Mechanismen der Zellprogrammierung und Reprogrammierung vor. Das Programm wurde von der National Natural Science Foundation of China während des 11. Fünfjahresplans gestartet, der im Oktober 2008 begann und Ende 2016 abgeschlossen wurde. Es fasst zunächst die epigenetischen Forschungspläne und den aktuellen Stand der epigenetischen Forschung in China und im internationalen Vergleich zusammen.Unter Anwendung interdisziplinärer Forschungsmethoden erörtert das Buch die Entwicklungstrends der epigenetischen Forschung, wie die Mechanismen der Etablierung und Aufrechterhaltung epigenetischer Informationen und die epigenetische Regulierung von Reproduktion und Entwicklung. Außerdem wird eine Vielzahl von Forschungsergebnissen vorgestellt. So werden beispielsweise die Entdeckung neuer epigenetischer Regulatoren und Chromatin-Remodulatoren sowie deren biologische Funktionen und Mechanismen hervorgehoben. Es werden verschiedene Regulierungsmechanismen der Zelldifferenzierung und Transdifferenzierung erörtert, insbesondere die Entdeckung der Schlüsselfaktoren zur Förderung der Transdifferenzierung von Körperzellen zu Hepatozyten. Darüber hinaus werden in diesem Buch einige wichtige akademische Bereiche mit zunehmender Bedeutung vorgestellt, wie Biochemie, Zellbiologie und klinische Medizin. Aufgrund seines Umfangs ist das Buch für Forscher interessant, die in den Bereichen Zellbiologie, Biochemie, Strukturbiologie, Bioinformatik, klinische Medizin und anderen verwandten Gebieten arbeiten.

This book presents a major research program on epigenetic mechanisms of cell programming and reprogramming. The program was launched by the National Natural Science Foundation of China during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, which was started in October 2008 and concluded at the end of 2016. It first summarizes the epigenetic research plans and the current situation of epigenetic research in China and the international frontier. With the application of interdisciplinary research methods, the book discusses the development trends of epigenetic research, such as mechanisms of establishment and maintenance of epigenetic information and epigenetic regulation on reproduction and development. It also presents a variety of research achievements. For example, the discovery of new epigenetic regulators and chromatin remodulaters and their biological functions and mechanisms are highlighted. Several regulation mechanisms of cell differentiation and trans-differentiation are discussed, especially the discovery of the key factors to promote the trans-differentiation of somatic cells to hepatocytes. In addition, this book puts forward some key academic fields with increasing importance, such as biochemistry, cell biology, and clinical medicine. Given its scope, the book is of interest to researchers who work in cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology, bioinformatics, clinical medicine, and other related fields.
