Comprises research articles primarily resulting from a workshop of US-China Workshop on Analytics for Building-Scale Sustainable Ecosystems. Researchers present their views of bottlenecks in engineering, software and social sciences, forming a nexus of critical issues impeding wider application of net-zero-energy building technology in the context of defining building-scale sustainable ecosystems.

Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is manga mayhem to the extreme - violent, horrifying, and mercilessly funny - and the wellspring for the internationally popular anime series. Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Berserk asks for no quarter - and offers none!His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned - and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death...or vengeance.

Guts, the feared Black Swordsman, finishes his desperate battle with the monstrous Count, cutting and blasting him to gory scraps when the presence of the Count's daughter makes the monster hesitate. But Guts won't even have the time to clean his gigantic sword when the Count's dying pleas activate the Behelit, summoning the five God Hands, demon lords of immeasurable power. Guts' journey so far has been a long road of pain and death, but that's a walk in the park compared to fighting his way out of Hell itself!

Presents more than a century of innovation drivers that have advanced the mineral processing industry. Trends, developments, and improvements are discussed in depth, and likely areas for future innovations are explored. This proceedings from the 2013 symposium features more than 75 subject-matter experts. These authors share their knowledge, experience, and passion for the metallurgical industry.

Provides a blend of the best available evidence based data with a ton of experience-based information from a team of authors who take care of kids with headache all the time. The book includes a CD-Rom showing case studies and references. The video demonstrations show not only a broad spectrum of cases and types of headache, but show an efficient manner for extracting the necessary information.

Metaphysics and the theory of knowledge lie at the heart of the Western philosophical tradition, and yet they are notoriously tricky subjects to engage. In this book, Jack Crumley makes those difficult topics intelligible, not only introducing the central issues and arguments but also explaining their broader significance, thereby connecting abstract themes to more familiar concerns.

For those recovering from an addiction, keeping a journal can be a healing experience-yet can also be a trip into uncharted territory. This combined workbook and journal provides a gentle introduction to the healing power of journaling. You`ll discover how to play with words, write through anxiety, and discover your writer`s memory-even if the only thing you`ve ever written is an e-mail.

With his judgment clouded by this unthinkable humiliation, Griffith eases his pain in the arms of the daughter of Midland s king. But the King doesn t take kindly to an employee picking the royal flowers, and the next stop for Griffith is the dungeon and the torture rack Without Griffith and Guts, the Hawks become easy prey for Midland s army, and the AWOL Guts may be the only answer to the Hawks and Griffith s lethal problems.
