The Special Issue “Refrigeration Systems and Applications” aims to encourage researchers to address the concerns associated with climate change and the sustainability of artificial cold production systems, and to further the transition to the more sustainable technologies and methodologies of tomorrow through theoretical, experimental, and review research on the different applications of refrigeration and associated topics.
In recent years, the sustainability and safety of perishable foods has become a major consumer concern, and refrigeration systems play an important role in the processing, distribution, and storage of such foods. To improve the efficiency of food preservation technologies, it is necessary to explore new technological and scientific advances both in materials and processes. The Handbook of Research on Advances and Applications in Refrigeration Systems and Technologies gathers state-of-the-art research related to thermal performance and energy-efficiency. Covering a diverse array of subjects—from the challenges of surface-area frost-formation on evaporators to the carbon footprint of refrigerant chemicals—this publication provides a broad insight into the optimization of cold-supply chains and serves as an essential reference text for undergraduate students, practicing engineers, researchers, educators, and policymakers.
Despite the development of environmental initiatives, healthcare, and cultural assimilation in today’s global market, significant problems in these areas remain throughout various regions of the world. As countries continue to transition into the modern age, areas across Asia and Africa have begun implementing modern solutions in order to benefit their individual societies and keep pace with the surrounding world. Significant research is needed in order to understand current issues that persist across the globe and what is being done to solve them. Global Issues and Innovative Solutions in Healthcare, Culture, and the Environment is an essential reference source that discusses worldwide conflicts within healthcare and environmental development as well as modern resolutions that are being implemented. Featuring research on topics such as health insurance reform, sanitation development, and cultural freedom, this book is ideally designed for researchers, policymakers, physicians, government officials, sociologists, environmentalists, anthropologists, academicians, practitioners, and students seeking coverage on global societal challenges in the modern age.
The development of a sustainable agricultural system is a critical concern for any nation in modern society. By implementing proper supply chain processes, available natural resources and food can be better utilized. Agri-Food Supply Chain Management: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice is a compendium of emerging perspectives on the development of an effective agricultural value chain and the optimization of supply chain management within the agriculture and food sectors. Highlighting theoretical frameworks, real-world applications, and future outlooks, this book is a primary reference source for professionals, students, practitioners, and managers actively involved in agricultural development.
This collection addresses the need for sustainable technologies with reduced energy consumption and pollutants and the development and application of alternative sustainable energy to maintain a green environment and energy supply. Contributions focus on energy-efficient technologies including innovative ore beneficiation, smelting technologies, and recycling and waste heat recovery, as well as emerging novel energy technologies. Papers also cover various technological aspects of sustainable energy ecosystems, processes that improve energy efficiency, reduce thermal emissions, and reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse emissions. Papers from the following symposia are presented in the book: Energy Technologies and Carbon Dioxide Management Solar Cell Silicon Advanced Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage

La obra más completa escrita en castellano sobre la Camorra, en un estilo sencillo y directo, ofreciendo una enorme cantidad de datos y curiosidades sobre el crimen organizado en Campania.
Con un mercato immobiliare che registra una cospicua diminuzione del numero di abitazioni e un contesto industriale in larga parte obsoleto ed energivoro, gli impianti per la produzione combinata dell’energia elettrica e termica rappresentano un grande potenziale per la riqualificazione energetica. In questo contesto la tecnica della cogenerazione può rivelarsi, in molti casi, soprattutto se supportata da una buona progettazione iniziale, un ottimo strumento per ripianare i bilanci energetici e ridurre in maniera consistente la bolletta energetica. Il volume affronta, per la prima volta in maniera organica, le problematiche inerenti sia alla progettazione che alla messa in esercizio degli...
L’8 ottobre 2021 il Centro bibliotecario di ateneo dell’Università degli studi di Salerno ha ospitato il convegno “Equità di genere: nuovi assetti organizzativi e culturali nell’università, nella ricerca e nell’informazione”. Il convegno, inserito nella cornice del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile promosso annualmente dall’ASVIS, ha tentato di dare conto di ciò che si è fatto e di proporre azioni positive per affermare la centralità dell’eguaglianza di genere nel mondo accademico e della ricerca, approfittando della possibilità offerta dalla pandemia di superare gli equilibri a cui eravamo abituati.La monografia in oggetto raccoglie gli interventi presentati in quella sede e ospita inoltre alcuni contributi aggiuntivi sul tema, frutto di riflessioni maturate in quel contesto.Il volume si presenta composto da due sezioni: la prima si concentra sulle azioni intraprese a livello di governance in ambito accademico, biblioteconomico ed europeo. La seconda parte invece volge lo sguardo all’ambito più strettamente legato al mondo della ricerca e dell’informazione, spaziando dal mondo degli archivi a quello della catalogazione.
