Energieversorger, Planer, Unternehmer und Investoren finden hier die grundlegenden Informationen zur ökologischen und ökonomischen Umsetzung der Wärmewende. Als Einstieg sind die wesentlichen Grundlagen der Wärmeplanung im kommunalen Kontext erörtert. Am konkreten Beispiel ist ein erfolgreicher Einstieg in die Dekarbonisierung kommunaler Wärmeversorgung dargestellt. Außerdem sind die Potenziale der Selbstfinanzierung, die als Grundlage für zukunftsfähige Geschäftsmodelle und wirtschaftliches Wachstum genutzt werden können, beschrieben. Im Teil des Buches, der sich den technischen Aspekten widmet, steht nicht vorrangig das wissenschaftliche Verstehen im Vordergrund, sondern das praktische Verständnis. So sollen Planer und Entscheider besser einschätzen können, inwiefern komplexe Lösungen praktikabel und umsetzbar sind. Wichtig ist außerdem das Einbeziehen der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Entscheidungsträger. Deshalb bietet ein weiteres Kapitel umfassende und fundierte Hintergrundinformation für politische und gesellschaftliche Beteiligungsprozesse.

What is good code? Writing good code is really a question about what the code is trying to solve. (And good code is not to be confused with patterns because not all pieces of good code are patterns.) We debate about good code because there is not just a single piece of good code, but so many good pieces of code. And each good piece of code depends on the context in which it is used. How to Code .NET: Tips and Tricks for Coding .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 Applications Effectively provides solutions to certain problems. That is, specific problems. This book provides detailed, authoritative explanations of good .NET coding techniques. It's based on award-winning material that author Christian Gross has previously presented at conferences throughout the U.S. and Europe. What's more, the author is at the forefront of the .NET technology wave and an acknowledged expert on the subject of .NET coding style and techniques.

Interferometry, the most precise measurement technique known today, exploits the wave-like nature of the atoms or photons in the interferometer. As expected from the laws of quantum mechanics, the granular, particle-like features of the individually independent atoms or photons are responsible for the precision limit, the shot noise limit. However this “classical” bound is not fundamental and it is the aim of quantum metrology to overcome it by employing entanglement among the particles. This work reports on the realization of spin-squeezed states suitable for atom interferometry. Spin squeezing was generated on the basis of motional and spin degrees of freedom, whereby the latter allowed the implementation of a full interferometer with quantum-enhanced precision.

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a real or complex (finite dimensional) simple Lie algebra and $\sigma\in\mathrm{Aut}\mathfrak{g}$. The authors study automorphisms of the twisted loop algebra $L(\mathfrak{g},\sigma)$ of smooth $\sigma$-periodic maps from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathfrak{g}$ as well as of the ``smooth'' affine Kac-Moody algebra $\hat L(\mathfrak{g},\sigma)$, which is a $2$-dimensional extension of $L(\mathfrak{g},\sigma)$. It turns out that these automorphisms which either preserve or reverse the orientation of loops, and are correspondingly called to be of first and second kind, can be described essentially by curves of automorphisms of $\mathfrak{g}$. If the order of the automorphisms is finite, then the corresponding curves in $\mathrm{Aut}\mathfrak{g}$ allow us to define certain invariants and these turn out to parametrize the conjugacy classes of the automorphisms. If their order is $2$ the authors carry this out in detail and deduce a complete classification of involutions and real forms (which correspond to conjugate linear involutions) of smooth affine Kac-Moody algebras. The resulting classification can be seen as an extension of Cartan's classification of symmetric spaces, i.e. of involutions on $\mathfrak{g}$. If $\mathfrak{g}$ is compact, then conjugate linear extensions of involutions from $\hat L(\mathfrak{g},\sigma)$ to conjugate linear involutions on $\hat L(\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb{C}},\sigma_{\mathbb{C}})$ yield a bijection between their conjugacy classes and this gives existence and uniqueness of Cartan decompositions of real forms of complex smooth affine Kac-Moody algebras. The authors show that their methods work equally well also in the algebraic case where the loops are assumed to have finite Fourier expansions.

This book is for anyone who wants to write good C# code—even if you have never programmed before. Writing good code can be a challenge—there are so many options, especially in a .NET language like C#. If you want to really get the best from a programming language, you need to know which features work best in which situations, and understand their strengths and weaknesses. It is this understanding that makes the difference between coding and coding well. Beginning C# 2008: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition has been written to teach you how to use the C# programming language to solve problems. From the earliest chapters and the first introductory concepts, you'll be looking at real–world programming challenges and learning how C# can be used to overcome them. As you progress through the book, the problems become more involved and interesting, while the solutions become correspondingly more complex and powerful as C# features interact to achieve the results that you want. This second edition has been revised and improved to now include the SQL Server 2008 release and explain how you can integrate SQL Server 2008 with your C# applications. By the time you've finished reading this book and worked through the sample exercises, you'll be a confident and very competent C# programmer. You will still have many explorations of the .NET Framework API to look forward to, but you will have a firm foundation to build from, and you will know exactly where to go to find the things that you need to progress confidently in your projects.

Designed for novice programmers looking to enhance their skills, a complete guide to VB 2008 explains how to use the new Visual Studio interface efficiently, with complete coverage of such areas as .NET fundamentals, .NET numbers and value types, VB exception handling, string manipulation, properties and indexers, file operations and object serialization, and XML processing and configuration files, among other topics. Original. (Beginner/Intermediate)

Ajax and REST Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach will serve all of your Ajax needs, by providing adaptable solutions for common tasks you'll want to implement on web sites using the next generation of Ajax and REST techniques. As a JavaScript developer, your time is precious, so you'll want to solve problems that present themselves in your work as quickly as possible. You can pick up the code provided in this book, adapt it, or plug it straight into your own applications. The book mainly focuses on illustrating and explaining how to build applications that use JavaScript, Ajax, and REST Web Services, along with some user interface issues. Specifically, the following topics are covered: implementing JavaScript unit tests, explaining the intent of dynamic languages, Web Services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), defining and implementing contracts using REST, understanding why JavaScript functions have state; implementing JavaScript "Generics", which are a mixture between real Generics and a replacement algorithm, using code blocks, using functions to make decisions, understanding the difference of JavaScript code that behaves like a value type or a reference type, implementing proxies, delegates, mixins, and overloaded functions, implementing a complete Ajax and Web Service architecture, defining a Web Service using REST, handling large or slow or real-time data sets, implementing shopping cart type architectures, and solving the back button problem using Ajax. Having read this book, you will have learned to modularize your web application by decoupling the client from the server. The decoupling allows a client developer to focus on writing the best JavaScript and Ajax code, and a server developer to write the best business and data objects.

Ajax is taking us into the next generation of web applications. Ajax has broken the client-server barrier by decoupling the client from the server, but an Ajax application still needs a server to extract content from. The most effective use of Ajax and the server requires an understanding of REST, an architectural style used to define Web services. Ajax Patterns and Best Practices explores dynamic web applications that combine Ajax and REST as a single solution. A major advantage of REST is that, like Ajax, it can be used with today's existing technologies. This is an ideal book whether or not you have already created an Ajax application. Because the book outlines various patterns and best practices, you can quickly check and verify that you're building an efficient Ajax application. Inside the book, the patterns will answer the following questions: What is Ajax, and REST, and why do you even care? And if I should care what are some examples of websites that make effective use of Ajax and REST? What are the absolute basics of Ajax and REST and what parts of those basics should I use? How should deal with large amounts of data? Should I cache the data? Should I get the data piece fed to me? (Patterns: Cache Controller, and Infinite Data) People keep telling me that sessions and cookies are bad? Are they bad? What should I do? And while I think about how about generating content for other devices? (Permutations pattern) I want to fix the back-button problem of the HTML browser. (State Navigation pattern) What is the best way to create a mashup? (REST Based Model View Controller pattern) My page has so many links managed by JavaScript, and I am losing control, help me make this more organized! (Decoupled Navigation pattern) I understand that HTTP means I send data to the server, how about the server sending me some data without asking for it? (Persistent Communications pattern) My server side code looks like a mess with tags and code pieces everywhere. How can I organize and make my HTML page behave like a SOA client and use REST based web services? (Content chunking pattern)

Foundations of Object-Oriented Programming Using .NET 2.0 Patterns solves the object-oriented and pattern-programming problem by mixing the two—the book teaches object-oriented concepts using patterns, or a solutions-based approach. The book's material is organized around tasks and patterns, and illustrated through development problems and solutions that include persistence, code efficiency, and good design. This book is of special interest to those who want to learn how to use .NET 2.0 Generics in conjunction with patterns. This unique book is based on the author's lectures, and the information unfolds in a practical manner.
