Energy Technology 2014
This book addresses the issues, intricacies, and challengesrelating to energy and environmental sciences. Papers cover varioustechnological aspects of sustainable energy eco-systems andprocesses that improve energy efficiency, and reduce andsequestrate carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouseemissions. The collection also emphasizes the need for sustainabletechnologies in extractive metallurgy, materials processing andmanufacturing industries with reduced energy consumption andCO2 emission. Industrial energy efficient technologiesinclude innovative ore beneficiation, smelting technologies,recycling and waste heat recovery. The book also carriescontributions from all areas of non-nuclear and non-traditionalenergy sources, including renewable energy sources such as solar,wind, and biomass. Papers from the following symposia are presented in thebook: Energy Technologies and Carbon DioxideManagement High-temperature Material Systems for Energy Conversion andStorage Solar Cell Silicon
Durability of Composite Systems
Durability of Composite Systems meets the challenge of defining these precepts and requirements, from first principles, to applications in a diverse selection of technical fields selected to form a corpus of concepts and methodologies that define the field of durability in composite material systems as a modern discipline. That discipline includes not only the classical rigor of mechanics, physics and chemistry, but also the critical elements of thermodynamics, data analytics, and statistical uncertainty quantification as well as other requirements of the modern subject. This book provides a comprehensive summary of the field, suited to both reference and instructional use. It will be essent...
Solid-State Ionics - 2008: Volume 1126
This book focuses on research related to ionic conducting (e.g., protons, oxygen ions) materials and devices. Contributions range from fundamental materials R&D, to characterization, to materials for batteries, sensors, membranes, supercapacitors and fuel cells. Special emphasis is given to miniaturized solid-oxide fuel cells (micro-SOFCs), from fundamental materials studies which are still very much needed for this application, to the development of devices. Innovative concepts for energy storage are also discussed.
Dealing with People You Can't Stand
The classic guide to bringing out the best in people at their worst - fully updated for a world that's meaner, nastier, and more polarized than ever Today, new technologies, the increased role of social media, and the ubiquity of remote work have resulted in more polarized workplaces, the breakdown of social mores, and downright rude behavior. These days, it seems like there are more people we can't stand - not fewer - and, too often, if we aren't yelling at each other, we've just quit talking altogether. This new edition has been fully updated to address the needs of our time. You'll learn how to get along and get things done when you're dealing with people who have the uncanny ability to sabotage, derail, and interfere with your plans, needs, and wants.
Teratoid Heights
Teratoid Heights realistically depicts the lifecycles of various species found in the tide location's cave-riddled terrain, down to the most painstakingly detailed behavioral patterns. It matters not that both Teratoid Heights and its inhabitants are entirely fictional. Brinkman taps into the zeitgeist of modern suburban America with what seems to be a mixture of J.R.R. Tolkein-style adventure, video-game inspired syncopation and an endless barrage of cable-television nature films all filtered through the reddened eyes of a marijuana-addled teenager. A book that reveals levels of humor and humanity no matter what age the reader.
Nuclear Weapons and Coercive Diplomacy
Are nuclear weapons useful for coercive diplomacy? This book argues that they are useful for deterrence but not for offensive purposes.
Disruptive Technologies, Innovation and Global Redesign: Emerging Implications
"This book provides case studies as well as practical and theoretical chapters on the issues surrounding disruptive technologies, innovation, and global redesign"--Provided by publisher.
Pain
This volume provides a comprehensive accounting of pain and its relation to neurology. It is dedicated entirely to the mechanisms and clinical aspects of the subject, and provides a wealth of information on the latest neurobiological and clinical data surrounding the topic. From discussions of the physiology and pathology of the pain pathways from signaling, via spinal cord and supraspinal processing to endogenous pain modulation, users will gain an invaluable reference that provides a new understanding of pain related topics, including cytokines, sex differences, and the autonomic nervous system. Practicing clinicians, internists, surgeons, and those in the fields of psychiatry and gerontol...
Food-Energy-Water Systems: Achieving Climate Resilience and Sustainable Development in the 21st Century
extreme weather will mean ongoing challenges to the capacity of these sectors to support human well-being, grow the economy, and provide critical environmental services. Society has yet to evaluate the resilience of FEWS to climate, environmental, and management stresses as it shapes strategies to support sustainable development over the next decades. These issues constitute a quintessential interdisciplinary research challenge and require a well-structured science agenda and supportive information services for implementing key findings that governments and stakeholders can adopt. Integrated policy pathways require usable research findings, applications, models, real-time information systems, and decision support systems. In addition, stakeholder engagement is essential to communicate the benefits and results of these approaches and to engage appropriate groups in their implementation.
Echoes in Death
Echoes in Death, the chilling new suspense novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb is the perfect entry point into the compelling In Death police procedural series featuring Lieutenant Eve Dallas. As NY Lt. Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband Roarke are driving home, a young woman—dazed, naked, and bloody—suddenly stumbles out in front of their car. Roarke slams on the brakes and Eve springs into action. Daphne Strazza is rushed to the ER, but it’s too late for her husband Dr. Anthony Strazza. A brilliant orthopedic surgeon, he now lies dead amid the wreckage of his obsessively organized town house, his three safes opened and emptied. Daphne would be a valuable wit...
