Predicting the Impact of Thermal, Hydraulic and Mechanical Processes during CO2 Storage in Saline Aquifers on Reservoir Integrity - presentation given by Chris McDermott in the Borehole and Near Well Processes session at the UKCCSRC Cardiff Biannual Meeting, 10-11 September 2014
El estudio realizado pretende examinar el comportamiento térmico de este edificio mediante el registro de la temperatura y la humedad relativa en algunos puntos de su interior. Los resultados muestran que en lugar de las duras condiciones climáticas que se dan en el exterior, la temperatura interior se encuentra dentro de los límites de confort. Este estudio demuestra que la reutilización de edificaciones rurales, además de las ventajas económicas y sociales, es un sistema de reducción del consumo energético en el ciclo de vida de la edificación

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

BARCELONA, SPAIN
Spain
Is a country located in southwestern europe with parts of territory in the atlantic
ocean and across the mediterranean sea. Therefore, there is a wide variety of
climates around the country.
Catalonia
Most of its territory lies on the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, to the south
of the Pyrenees mountain range. Catalonia is divided into four provinces:
Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona. The climates in Catalonia can be
diverse, with areas around the coast having a mediterranean climate, valleys
with a oceanic climate and the pyrenean peaks with alpine climate.
Barcelona
Barcelona is located on the northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula,
facing the Mediterranean Sea, on a plain approximately 5 km wide
limited by the mountain range of Collserola. Although, It has a hot sum-
mer mediterranean climate with mild winters, while the rainiest seasons
are spring and autumn.
Barcelona
While Barcelona experiences almost comfortable temperatures
throughout the year, the main climatic challenge is the high humidity
levels due to close proximity to the sea.

During the summer, open shaded spaces that protect from the sun and allow airflow for refreshment are sought.
Rooms with high thermal inertia materials are also preferred; in this example, the concrete slab provides people
with coolness.
During the mid-season, a layering system that allows people to adapt and enjoy the different tempera-
tures are desirable. For example, interior-exterior spaces will enable the sun through when the climate
is cold, and sun protection and wind flow when the temperature is high.
During the winter, the most sun capture is desirable to provide heating. Also wanted are closed spaces
protecting people from the wind while allowing the sun to enter.
