Zero-Carbon Energy Kyoto 2011
Since 2008, the Global Center of Excellence (COE) at Kyoto University, Japan, has been engaged in a program called “Energy Science in the Age of Global Warming—Toward a CO2 Zero-Emission Energy System.” Its aim is to establish an international education and research platform to foster educators, researchers, and policy makers who can develop technologies and propose policies for establishing a CO2 zero-emission society no longer dependent on fossil fuels. It is well known that the energy problem cannot simply be labeled a technological one, as it is also deeply involved with social and economic issues. The establishment of a “low-carbon energy science” as an interdisciplinary field...
Biomass Processing for Biofuels, Bioenergy and Chemicals
Biomass can be used to produce renewable electricity, thermal energy, transportation fuels (biofuels), and high-value functional chemicals. As an energy source, biomass can be used either directly via combustion to produce heat or indirectly after it is converted to one of many forms of bioenergy and biofuel via thermochemical or biochemical pathways. The conversion of biomass can be achieved using various advanced methods, which are broadly classified into thermochemical conversion, biochemical conversion, electrochemical conversion, and so on. Advanced development technologies and processes are able to convert biomass into alternative energy sources in solid (e.g., charcoal, biochar, and R...
Zero-Carbon Energy Kyoto 2012
The Global COE is setting out a zero-emission technology roadmap and is promoting socioeconomic studies of energy, studies of new technologies for renewable energies, and research for advanced nuclear energy. It has also established the Global COE Unit for Energy Science Education to support young researchers as they apply their skills and knowledge and a broad international perspective to respond to issues of energy and the environment in our societies. This book follows on the earlier volumes Zero-Carbon Energy Kyoto 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Proceedings of Mechanical Engineering Research Day 2020
This e-book is a compilation of 170 articles presented at the 7th Mechanical Engineering Research Day (MERD'20) - Kampus Teknologi UTeM (virtual), Melaka, Malaysia on 16 December 2020.
Engineering Applications for New Materials and Technologies
This book discusses the expertise, skills, and techniques needed for the development of new materials and technologies. It focuses on finite element and finite volume methods that are used for engineering simulations, and present many state-of-the-art applications and advances to highlight these methods’ importance. For example, modern joining technologies can be used to fabricate new compound or composite materials, even those formed from dissimilar component materials. These composite materials are often exposed to harsh environments, must deliver specific characteristics, and are primarily used in automotive and marine technologies, i.e., ships, amphibious vehicles, docks, offshore structures, and even robots. To achieve the desired material performance, computer-based engineering tools are widely used for simulation, data evaluation, and design processes.
Social Return on Investment: The Agenda for Sustainable Development (UUM Press)
Social Return on Investment (SROI): The Agenda for Sustainable Development is a spellbinding blend of academics and general knowledge, exploring themes of social responsibility and its relation with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). With each page, readers will be drawn deeper into a world of social responsibility, humanity and mankind. As readers turn the pages, they embark on a journey into a world where these themes are not merely abstract concepts but living, breathing elements of the narrative. This book consists of seven chapters. This book is targeted at three groups of readers. First, this book will benefit the academia of various academic backgrounds, particularly the humanities,...

Automotive Engineering and Mobility Research
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2nd International Conference on Recent Advances in Automotive Engineering and Mobility Research (ReCAR 2013), December 16-18, 2013, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Krypton, Xenon & Radon
Solubility Data Series, Volume 2: Krypton, Xenon, and Radon – Gas Solubilities is a three-chapter text that presents the solubility data of various forms of the title compounds in different substrates. This series emerged from the fundamental trend of the Solubility Data Project, which is toward integration of secondary and tertiary services to produce in-depth critical analysis and evaluation. Each chapter deals with the experimental solubility data of the noble gases in several substrates, including water, salt solutions, organic compounds, and biological fluids. This book will prove useful to chemists, researchers, and students.
