Liquid Crystal Based Variable Light Attenuation for Switchable Solar Heat Gain Coefficient Applicati
By: RASEIBoulder Energy loss through the windows remains a dominant obstacle in obtaining zero-energy buildings. In particular, for mixed climate environments, the solar heat gain coefficient of a window must be switchable to control the amount of solar heating in the winter and summer seasons. Furthermore, it is desirable for the system not to consume energy from the grid and operate in an autonomous way. Finally, the system must be scalable and cost effective to retrofit existing windows. In t

Bacevich makes clear, that century has now ended, the victim of strategic miscalculation, military misadventures, and economic decline.
What did this age of reputed American preeminence signify? What caused its premature demise? What legacy remains in its wake? What did the forging of the American Century—with
