Application of abandoned wells integrated with renewables
No full textThe large thermal potentials with geothermal gradient of abandoned wells provide the possibility and opportunity for carbon-neutrality transition of district heating systems, whereas energy harvesting from abandoned geothermal wells is full of challenges, due to the considerable initial investment in economic cost, system performance degradation, and so on. In this chapter, a systematic and comprehensive review on the application techniques of abandoned wells is presented, in terms of advanced thermal/power conversions, renewable integrations for district heating, and strategies for performance enhancement. Discussions on real applications have been conducted and future prospects presented, from perspectives of lifetime system performance, techno-economic feasibility analysis, and potential assessment of abandoned wells for carbon-neutrality transition. The results of this chapter can provide preliminary knowledge and cutting-edge technologies on renewable integrations with abandoned wells, so as to demonstrate techno-economic-environmental potentials of abandoned wells and contributions toward carbon-neutrality transition.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Design & Construction Managemen
Professor Wells: the Educational Purposes of H.G. Wells’ Works
No full textreservedThis dissertation analyses the educational purposes of H.G. Wells’ works. Wells is
known as one of the fathers of science fiction, and as one of the most influential writers of the late
nineteenth century. However, I will not focus on H.G. Wells as an author. I will focus on H.G. Wells
as a teacher. Education played a key role in the life of this remarkable author. He not only spent some
of his early years working as a teacher, but he also wrote a textbook meant for biology students.
Furthermore, in the later stages of his life Wells actively advocated for the need to reform the British
school system, introducing scientific subjects in the school curricula. He also dedicated himself to
writing popularizing articles about scientific topic. The strong connection between Herbert George
Wells and education is, to me, quite evident. Every chapter of this work will focus on a different work
written by Wells. I chose to follow on some of his most famous works: The Island of Doctor Moreau
(1896), The Time Machine (1895), and The World of the Worlds (1898). Here, I will analyse the
content of each work, trying to point out the educational narrative proposed by Wells. I am not
proposing anything new as far as the interpretation of these works is concerned. In order to carry out
my researches for the dissertation, I attentively read many essays and articles that proposed an
interpretation of Wells’ texts. Among the authors I refer to, there are authoritative Wells’ scholars
such as Patrick Parrinder. The purpose of the work is not providing a new interpretation of the themes
and motifs behind H.G. Wells’ works, but demonstrating that these books had been written in order
to teach something to their reading public.
The last chapter focuses on Wells’ utopian novel A Modern Utopia (1905). It is different from
the others because I will not limit myself to describing the educational purposes of the book. A
Modern Utopia is a programmatic text, and this gave me the possibility to have a closer look at Wells’
beliefs and plans for society. As I propose in the fifth chapter, some of his views would be considered
completely unacceptable by modern-day readers. I focus on two specific topics. First, I will take into
exam the treatment received by criminals, feeble-minded, drunkards, and other sorts of people
considered “undesirable” by the Victorians. And then I focus on the role of the woman in the utopian
state imagined by Wells. As I will discuss, Wells’ ideas were far from progressive as far as these
topics were concerned. Or, at least, they could not be considered progressive nowadays. The final
chapter is not a way to stigmatise Wells. Rather, it is a way to contextualise both the man and his
works. As I propose, contextualising Wells is the only way to truly appreciate the innovative
contributions of his works.This dissertation analyses the educational purposes of H.G. Wells’ works. Wells is

O carnavalesco em contos escolhidos de Deborah Eisenberg e Wells Tower
No full textMestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e CulturasEsta dissertação analisa a aplicação do conceito do carnavalesco em termos de aspectos formais e temáticos às obras de dois importantes escritores de contos norteamericanos, Deborah Eisenberg e Wells Tower. Enquanto as narrativas de Tower apresentam o uso de “billingsgate”, e outras características grotescas, bem como as inversões de paródia, ironia e também humor negro, o clima carnavalesco bakhtiniano que pressuponha uma celebração festiva que supostamente confronta a cultura dominante está ausente. Deborah Eisenberg, por outro lado, engloba bem o aspecto dialógico, polifónico e heteroglóssico das teorias bakhtinianas, com interessantes inversões paródicas. No entanto, mesmo as suas narrativas não podem ser designadas como carnavalescas, pelo menos não no verdadeiro sentido do termo bakhtiniano. A análise realizada revela que a análise destas narrativas breves e contemporâneas seguindo uma perspectiva estritamente bakhtiniana do carnavalesco é impossível, e embora dê frutos em alguns aspectos, a reavaliação de alguns princípios básicos de Bakhtin é necessária para atender às exigências desencantadas dos tempos modernos.The dissertation deals with contemporary American short stories and the analysis of the application of the concept of the carnivalesque to both formal and thematic aspects in the works of two prominent American short story writers Deborah Eisenberg and Wells Tower. While Tower´s stories show billingsgate and grotesque features, as well as parodic and ironic inversions and dark humour, the Bakhtinian carnivalesque atmosphere of festive celebration that counters the dominant culture is lost. Deborah Eisenberg on the other hand encompasses well the dialogic, polyphonic and heteroglossic aspect present in Bakhtin’s theories, with interesting parodic inversions. However, even her stories cannot be termed as carnivalesque, at least not in the truly Bakhtinian sense of the word. The analysis conducted therefore reveals that analyzing these contemporary short stories following a strictly Bakhtinian perspective of the carnivalesque is impossible, and although it bears fruit in some aspects, the reevaluation of some of Bakhtin´s basic principles is needed to suit the disenchanted requirements of modern times.
