This document outlines Eugene Odum's principles of energy ecology and their application to greenhouses and local food supply. It discusses using passive solar design and natural processes to efficiently capture and store energy for greenhouse use. Different greenhouse growth systems and materials are evaluated. Optimizing orientation, insulation, ventilation and thermal mass can reduce energy demands. Greenhouses combine human and natural ecologies to locally generate and save energy while enhancing food security in a carbon-neutral way.
The document discusses different types of flow models:
1) Peer-to-peer models involve direct communication between nodes without centralized coordination. Examples include early Internet applications like FTP.
2) Client-server models have asymmetric flows with clients sending requests to servers, which respond. Examples include web applications and ERP systems.
3) Hierarchical client-server models extend client-server with multiple tiers between clients and servers, like databases managed by higher-level applications. Climate modeling problems use this to share data between simulation components.
4) Distributed computing models use message passing between resources and tasks across networked devices, as in parallel processing systems where tasks are subdivided among devices.

B.tech. i es unit2.1 environment energy flow in ecosystemRai University
This document discusses different models of energy flow in ecosystems, including single channel models and double channel (Y-shaped) models. It provides details on key aspects of ecosystems like photosynthesis, respiration, and different trophic levels. Single channel models show a unidirectional flow of energy from autotrophs to herbivores to carnivores. Y-shaped models separate grazing and detritus food chains. The universal model depicts energy flow as applicable to any living component and shows the interconnection between different food chains in a complex food web.
Howard T. Odum studied in great detail the energy flows & interactions in complex life systems, creating a simple pattern-language that serves as a powerful model for understanding how ecosystems work, in useful detail.
This model includes visible as well as invisible components of a system, & is so holistic that human economy as well as minerals & weather processes can be accounted for.
He also proposed a new & provocative law of thermodynamics that includes Life.
In this class we will explore the basics of this work and explore how it is an essential base of Integral Permaculture.

Global warming refers to the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth from increased greenhouse gas emissions. The key greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide released through burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation. As greenhouse gas levels increase in the atmosphere, they trap more heat and cause the planet to warm, leading to changes in climate patterns and severe environmental impacts such as rising sea levels, stronger storms and hurricanes, more frequent droughts and heat waves. To reduce global warming, individuals and governments need to lower carbon emissions by transitioning to renewable energy, driving and flying less, improving energy efficiency, and planting more trees to absorb carbon dioxide.
The document discusses energy flow through ecosystems and food webs. It provides several field notes describing relationships between different organisms, such as plants being eaten by herbivores or smaller organisms being eaten by larger predators. It then explains that as energy moves through food chains and webs, the vast majority (around 90%) is lost as heat, so there is only about 10% of the original energy available at each trophic level. This pattern can be represented through an energy pyramid diagram.
1) Energy from the sun powers photosynthesis in green plants, which convert carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight into glucose.
2) This chemical energy from glucose is transferred through ecosystems as organisms eat each other, forming food chains.
3) Producers like plants capture energy from the sun which is then consumed by primary consumers like herbivores, and passed up through secondary and tertiary consumers in a trophic pyramid, with decomposers recycling nutrients.
This document discusses flow through pipes, including:
- Laminar and turbulent flow characteristics defined by Reynolds number
- Head losses calculated using Darcy-Weisbach and minor loss equations
- Friction factors determined from Moody diagrams for laminar and turbulent flows
- Total head loss in a pipe system equals major losses in pipe sections plus minor losses from fittings
Ecology is the study of interactions among organisms and their environment. It examines different levels of biological organization, from species to biomes. Energy from the sun or inorganic compounds flows through ecosystems via photosynthesis in autotrophs and is consumed by heterotrophs in a food chain. Only about 10% of energy is transferred between trophic levels, as shown in ecological pyramids. Matter cycles through ecosystems in nutrient, carbon, water, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles.
The document discusses master planning for a sustainable campus. It defines sustainability and outlines UNC's sustainability policy which requires sustainability principles be incorporated into comprehensive master plans. The policy also mandates buildings meet statutory energy and water efficiency requirements. Sustainable campus guidelines include planning sustainable sites, conserving water, materials and resources, conserving energy, and enhancing environmental quality. Case studies of UNCG's master plans from 1984-2007 show the evolution of making the campus more pedestrian-friendly and focusing on infill development and preservation of open spaces.
Energy from the sun flows through ecosystems via photosynthesis in producers and is transferred between trophic levels through food webs. However, only about 10% of energy is transferred between adjacent trophic levels, with the rest lost as heat. As a result, the amount of biomass and number of organisms decreases at each higher trophic level, as illustrated by ecological pyramids. This energy flow and transfer of matter between trophic levels is governed by the laws of thermodynamics.

STUDY ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF FLY ASH BASED GEO POLYMER CONCRETE WITH 20MOLAR NAO...IAEME Publication
Background/Objectives: Green house gas emissions are the main problem in the present scenario. The amount of Green house gas emissions are increasing and CO2 one of the greenhouse gas which effects the environment and leads to global warming. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This paper deals with the alternate materials for the cement which is a green concrete (GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE) and it reduces the emission of CO2. Fly ash is a byproduct of thermal industry which is converted into useful material. This Geo polymer concrete is a mixture of various components like sodium silicate and its hydroxide form along with other products like metakolin in addition to fly ash. Findings: The strength of geo polymer concrete is increased with molarity of NaOH. The 20 molarity is used in this paper. The reaction of alumina, silica present in flyash with alkalin base results in aluminosilicate which acts as a binder useful in high quality of green concret. In this paper different tests are conducted to find properties which include strength (flexural, split tensile as well as compressive) for 3, 7and 28 days for 20M. Applications/Improvements: This study helps in gaining knowledge about the morophological composition of concrete which might result in path-breaking trends in construction industry.

Preparation and Characterization of Activated Carbon from Hura Crepitans Linn...theijes
Activated carbons were thermally prepared from Hura Crepitan L. seed shells. Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) were separately used as the activating agents. The activated carbons obtained were characterized by determining the percentage yield, moisture content, ash content and percentage fixed carbon. The adsorption of methylene blue by the activated carbon was done using 0.1 to 0.5g of the activated carbon. The results revealed that the percentage yield and ash content of H3PO4 impregnated activated carbon was higher than ZnCl2 impregnated activated carbon. On the other hand ZnCl2 impregnated activated carbon had higher moisture content and percentage fixed carbon. It was also revealed that ZnCl2 impregnated activated carbon had greater adsorption capacity than H3PO4 impregnated activated carbon. However it was found that the higher the adsorbent (activated carbon) dosage, the higher the adsorption capacity.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Serving the needs of current and future generations, Chatham University at Eden Hall will serve
as a beacon to those who wish to imagine and model sustainable learning and living. Through
scholarly training and research, Eden Hall Campus will create entrepreneurs and advocates
capable of implementing sustainable ideas and sharing them with a global community. In so
doing, Chatham will proudly advance the legacy of Rachel Carson, class of 1929.

The existing site area, west to DW Brooks and south to Green St, will be transformed into a series of natural working systems that support Ecology, Forestry and other UGA curricula. New outdoor educational settings – Sustainable habitats, wetlands, grasslands, and streams – will demonstrate the power of landscape to restore plant and animal diversity, stream ecologies, watersheds and soils.

An overview of the biodiversity zones going west to DW Brooks and south to Green St. The sensitivity and diversity of developing the site this way offers a more appropriate headwaters condition, increases habitat potential, offers curriculum opportunities and provides readily accessible public demonstration areas.
The site of the Odum School of Ecology is at the intersection of two main pedestrian thoroughfares of the University of Georgia Campus. Our vision for this gateway connection is to increase the outreach of our and our neighboring schools’ work via the experience of just walking by. Cultural amenities unique to the function of the School of Ecology are readily accessible within the interior courtyard
The section perspective (looking east) above shows the advantages of providing orientation to solar south.The building is designed to face solar south, providing the best access to both passive and active strategies available daily from sunlight. 100% of all interior spaces will be naturally daylit. Access to daylight has been shown to increase productivity and accuracy of building users. Use of photovoltaics (solar panels) will be the primary energy source for the school. Solar panels will be located on the roof, on grade and integrated into the building façade and shading devices.
The section perspective (looking East) above shows a design concept of how the two main species of the building lab (left) and office (right) act in natural ventilation mode.Every time the building or a portion of the building operates in natural ventilation mode the Odum School’s impact on the environment is reduced. The office wing uses a double skin facade on the south side and accepts fresh air from the summer dominant WNW winds. Lab research spaces receive air from operable windows on the south side and exhaust air through the filtered mechanical system.
The section perspective (looking East) above shows a design concept of how the two main species of the building lab (left) and office (right) act in mechanical ventilation mode.In the Office wing uses an underfloor air system, delivering the air where it is needed most. This system lowers air delivery temperature, reducing the energy required for cooling while providing individual control over the airflow and direction. Lab areas use an efficient overhead supply system with a heat exchange recovery wheel on the return side to capture reusable heat as the conditioned air leaves the exhaust stack.
The project site area straddles a ridge that divides two drainage areas which are both part of the Oconee watershed. Current site design rapidly puts all storm water into pipes sending it away. Environmentally regenerative and restorative techniques at the new site development will create attractive, usable and educational habitat zones along the exposed waterways.

Understanding the climate of the area you inhabit is paramount to success for many things including building design. This climate chart depicts the basics of our natural system which have an affect on how we design, construct, operate and use our built environments.

Water disposal from constructed wetlands: This graphic shows where to dispose of “waste” water safely according to current health regulations. Accordingly, disposal areas must not allow for human contactThis is NOT the highest and best use of this water as it is largely clean. As we monitor the quality of this effluent here and in other locations within PA, we hope to use this water to irrigate agricultural areas, thereby closing the loop in a way that is effective environmentally, economically, and socially.
