Lee, Myung J./Kim, Jae H. Green IT: Technologies and Applications, SPRINGER, BERLIN, 061 ISBN: 3642221785
This book is the first of its kind in presenting comprehensive technical issues and solutions for rapidly growing Green IT. It brings together in a single volume both green communications and green computing under the theme of Green IT, and presents exciting research and developments taking place therein in a survey style. Written by the subject matter experts consisting of an international team of recognized researchers and practitioners in the field, Green IT: Technologies and Applications will serve as an excellent source of information on the latest technical trend of Green IT for graduate/undergraduate students, researchers, engineers, and engineering managers in the IT (Electrical, Communications, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Science) as well as interdisciplinary areas such as sustainability, environment, and energy. The book comprises three parts: Green Communications, Green Computing, and Smart Grid and Applications. Part I Green Communications deals with energy efficient architectures and associated performance measures in wireless communications. It covers energy issues in PHY, MAC, Routing, Application layers and their solutions for a variety of networks. Part II Green Computing deals with various energy issues in data centers, computing clusters, computing storage, and associated optimization techniques. Energy management strategies are presented to balance between energy efficiency and required qualities of services. Part III Smart Grid and Applications presents an overview and research challenges for smart grid. Applications include modeling of urban pollutant for transportation networks, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) architecture with long range radio, and Green IT standards.

GREEN, Thomas Jefferson (1801-1863): Journal of the Texian Expedition against Mier; subsequent imprisonment of the author; his sufferings, and final escape from the castle of Perote. with reflections upon the present political and probable future relations of Texas, Mexico, and the United States,

New York: Harper, 1845. Octavo. 487pp. 11engraved plates, 2 plans (one folding). (Some light spotting). Publisher's blue blind-stamped cloth, spine gilt (slightly faded, lower edge of the boards rubbed). Green enlisted as a volunteer for the retaliatory expedition into Mexico after the Mexican pillage of San Antonio. He co-led an unauthorized attack on the town of Mier on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande on Christmas Day, 1842. The attempt to take over the town failed, and Green and the other Texans were taken as prisoners and led on an arduous overland trek to the Mexican fortress, Perote, near Vera Cruz. In what is known as the Black Bean Episode, some of the Texans were forced to draw beans from a jar, and those drawing black beans were executed. This was in accordance with Santa Anna's order that one in ten of the prisoners be shot as outlaws. After several months of hard labor, Green and a few others managed a dramatic escape from Perote. The events are recounted in vivid detail, and Dobie has commented that the author "lived in wrath and wrote with fire." The handsome engraved plates depict battles, executions, the Perote stronghold, Green's escape, and other dramatic scenes described in the account. Sam Houston was incensed at the publication of Green's book, which implicated Houston as the responsible party in the deaths of those Texans who fell during the expedition. In a speech in the U.S. Senate, Houston declared that the copy in the Library of Congress should be "expelled therefrom, and given to some of the sewers of the city." "The most important account of the tragic Texan expedition against Mier" - Jenkins. "Green's is one of the most exciting accounts of the tragic affair of the Texian Expedition. As a participant Green was able to write a vivid and terrifying tale. He was particularly bitter toward Sam Houston and believed Houston was responsible for the deaths of those Americans shot as brigands" - Graff.
