Sustainable Production Consumption Systems: Knowledge, Engagement and Practice

Springer, 2009

Sustainable Production Consumption Systems brings together a set of designed case studies intended to provide a more in-depth understanding of challenges and opportunities in bringing knowledge and actions closer together for the sustainable management of specific production and consumption systems. The case study approach enabled researchers to...

Energy (Greenwood Guides to Business and Economics)

Greenwood Press, 2008

Energy: We want it affordable, we want it available in ample quantities and from reliable sources, and we want it to be produced and used in ways that are safe and environmentally benign. In other words, we want plenty of energy too cheap to meter and with no impact on the environment. Ha! With a refreshing lack of bias, this book dissects...

Hybrid CMOS Single-Electron-Transistor Device And Circuit Design

Artech House Publishers, 2006

CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) is a widely accepted and utilized technology among electrical engineers involved with circuit design. SET (single electron transistor) technology has recently gained significant attention, because it can be combined with CMOSs to improve overall performance of integrated circuits - reducing power...

Current Practice in Environmental Reporting: The Chemicals Industry

Woodhead Publishing, 2001

Environmental reporting is still in its infancy, having emerged only in the latter part of the 1980s. Companies are under increasing pressure to be transparent and accountable in the whole spectrum of their business. In recent years, a number of companies have seen the need to introduce environmental reporting, placing environmental...

Computational Optimization, Methods and Algorithms (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2011

Computational optimization is an important paradigm with a wide range of applications. In virtually all branches of engineering and industry, we almost always try to optimize something - whether to minimize the cost and energy consumption, or to maximize profits, outputs, performance and efficiency. In many cases, this search for...

Advanced Memory Optimization Techniques for Low-Power Embedded Processors

Springer, 2007

The design of embedded systems warrants a new perspective because of the following two reasons: Firstly, slow and energy inefficient memory hierarchies have already become the bottleneck of the embedded systems. It is documented in the literature as the memory wall problem. Secondly, the software running on the contemporary embedded devices is...

Food Oral Processing: Fundamentals of Eating and Sensory Perception

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

This volume provides an overview of the latest research findings on the physics, physiology, and psychology of food oral consumption, as well as the experimental techniques available for food oral studies. Coverage includes the main physical and physiological functionalities of the mouth; the location and functionalities of various oral...

OpenGL Insights

AK Peter, 2012

OpenGL is not a single API anymore. OpenGL has involved into a family of APIs, with OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and WebGL being closely related siblings that enable application developers to write and deploy graphics applications on a wide variety of platforms and operating systems. OpenGL has become an ecosystem; 3D graphics is truly everywhere now....

Metal-Catalysis in Industrial Organic Processes

Royal Society of Chemistry, 2006

Catalysis underpins most modern industrial organic processes. It has become an essential tool in creating a 'greener' chemical industry by replacing more traditional stoichiometric reactions, which have high energy consumption and high waste production, with mild processes which increasingly resemble Nature's enzymes.

Metal-Catalysis in...

Credit and Community: Working-Class Debt in the UK since 1880

Oxford University Press, 2009

Credit's centrality to the current economic crisis makes the publication of Sean O'Connell's social history of working-class credit consumption particularly timely. Although the credit crunch came too late to be included in this book, the portrait of a complex relationship between lenders and borrowers over the past 120 years should be required...

Semiconductor Lasers I: Fundamentals (Optics and Photonics) (Pt. 1)

Academic Press, 1998

More than three decades have passed since lasing in semiconductors was first observed in several laboratories in 1962 (Hall et al., 1962; Holonyak, Jr. et al., 1962; Nathan et al., 1962; Quist et al., 1962). Although it was one of the first lasers to be demonstrated, the semiconductor laser had to await several important developments, both...
