DOWNLOAD EBOOKCatalysis, in the industrial production of chemicals, fuels, and materials, accounts for more than half of gross material production worldwide. Heterogeneous catalysis enables fast and selective chemical transformations, resulting in superior product yield and facilitating catalyst separation and recovery. The synthesis of novel catalysts has emerged as a hot topic for process and product development with numerous research publications and patents. Hence, development of efficient catalysts and their applications is important for sustainable energy production and use, green chemicals production and use, and economic growth. This Special Issue discusses recent developments related to catalysis for the production of sustainable fuels and chemicals and traverses many new frontiers of catalysis including synthesis, characterization, catalytic performances, reaction kinetics and modelling, as well as applications of catalysts for the production of biofuels, synthesis gas, and other green products. This covers the current state-of-the-art catalysis research applied to bioenergy, organic transformation, carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatoms, reforming, hydrogenation, hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodemetalization, Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, to name a few. This book highlights new avenues in catalysis including catalyst preparation methods, analytical tools for catalyst characterization, and techno-economic assessment to enhance a chemical or biological transformation process using catalysts for a betterment of industry, academia and society.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWill humanity be on its last legs? What does an AI think about AI, robotics, humanity, and the future? Who knows, maybe one day we'll be working side by side with a robot co-worker, swapping jokes and brewing coffee for the android overlords. But in all seriousness, we need to address the ethical concerns around AI and robotics and work together to create a world that's better for all of us. We've got a responsibility to shape the future we want to see! That means taking some serious action to make sure our robot overlords don't run amok and start building a society that's all about cat videos and snack cakes (although, let's be honest, that doesn't sound too bad). So let's get to it, humans! Let us take to heart what AI writes about us and our future! Maybe we'll even figure out how to make the perfect cup of coffee with our "Cyborg Royal Highness" - it's all about collaboration.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKClimate change is one of the main threats to modern society. This phenomenon is associated with an increase in greenhouse gas (GHGs, mainly carbon dioxide—CO2) emissions due to anthropogenic activities. The main causes are the burning of fossil fuels and land use change (deforestation). Climate change impacts are associated with risks to basic needs (health, food security, and clean water), as well as risks to development (jobs, economic growth, and the cost of living). The processes involving CO2 capture and storage are gaining attention in the scientific community as an alternative for decreasing CO2 emissions, reducing its concentration in ambient air. The carbon capture and storage (CCS) methodologies comprise three steps: CO2 capture, CO2 transportation, and CO2 storage. Despite the high research activity within this topic, several technological, economic, and environmental issues as well as safety problems remain to be solved, such as the following needs: increase of CO2 capture efficiency, reduction of process costs, and verification of the environmental sustainability of CO2 storage.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKL'approvisionnement en électricité connaît en France de nombreuses et profondes transformations : le monopole de la fourniture est supprimé , le capital d'EDF est ouvert , les énergies renouvelables se développent , la lutte contre les émissions de gaz à effet de serre devient une priorité , la maîtrise de la demande d'énergie doit impérativement se développer , bientôt, les réseaux publics pourront avoir des fonctions supplémentaires grâce aux techniques de l'information et de la communication. Les nouvelles régulations électriques ont pour objet les multiples organismes contribuant, à des degrés divers, à déterminer ou à influencer – autrement dit à réguler – le cadre dans lequel les entreprises électriques exercent aujourd'hui leurs activités. Cet ouvrage décrit chaque régulation et en analyse les effets. Le présent tome, à caractère technique et juridique, porte sur les régulations s'appliquant à la production, aux réseaux et à la demande, en vue d'une meilleure efficience du système électrique et d'une protection accrue de l'environnement.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLanguage standardization is an ongoing process based on the notions of linguistic correctness and models. This manual contains thirty-six chapters that deal with the theories of linguistic norms and give a comprehensive up-to-date description and analysis of the standardization processes in the Romance languages. The first section presents the essential approaches to the concept of linguistic norm ranging from antiquity to the present, and includes individual chapters on the notion of linguistic norms and correctness in classical grammar and rhetoric, in the Prague School, in the linguistic theory of Eugenio Coseriu, in sociolinguistics as well as in pragmatics, cognitive and discourse linguistics. The second section focuses on the application of these notions with respect to the Romance languages. It examines in detail the normative grammar and the normative dictionary as the reference tools for language codification and modernization of those languages that have a long and well-established written tradition, i.e. Romanian, Italian, French, Catalan, Spanish, and Portuguese. Furthermore, the volume offers a discussion of the key issues regarding the standardization of the ‘minor’ Romance languages as well as Creoles.
