Infos

Our brains hold a hidden factory, independent of dietary cholesterol. Behind the blood-brain barrier, they meticulously craft their own, using it for a critical purpose: myelin. This fatty sheath acts like electrical insulation for our nerve fibers, ensuring rapid and clear communication between brain cells. But this finely tuned system can go awry. When cholesterol levels become imbalanced, myelin production suffers. This can lead to a breakdown in communication, impacting memory, learning, and even movement. In extreme cases, it can contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. By understanding this delicate balance between brain-made cholesterol and myelin health, we can unlock strategies to protect our cognitive function and overall brain well-being

Dr. Alisha, for your Energy Systems course, I propose "Beyond Cloud: Distributed Power." This book explores the shift from centralized energy production to a more distributed model, where power generation and use happen closer to each other. We'll delve into microgrids, on-site renewable energy sources like solar and wind, and even peer-to-peer energy trading within communities. "Beyond Cloud" analyzes the advantages of distributed power, including increased energy independence, flexibility, and potential cost savings. However, the book doesn't shy away from the challenges. We'll explore the technological advancements needed, like efficient energy storage solutions and smart grid integration, along with the role of the Internet of Things (IoT) in optimizing these decentralized systems. By understanding distributed power, we can see its role in creating a more sustainable energy future – one that contributes to reducing climate change and ensuring a secure, reliable energy supply. Ultimately, "Beyond Cloud" positions distributed power as a game-changer in the energy landscape.
