Catalysis for the Production of Sustainable Fuels and Chemicals
Author: Flora T. T. Ng Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 303936040X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Catalysis, 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.

Manual of Standardization in the Romance Languages
Author: Franz LebsanftPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 311045808X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 871
Book Description
Language 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.
WHEN AN AI THINKS ABOUT AI AND HUMANS

ISBN: 3347919718
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Will 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.

A Brief Overview of China’s ETS Pilots
Author: Daiqing ZhaoPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811318883
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This book systematically introduces readers to the framework of China’s ETS pilots, exploring their design and operating process, the current state of the carbon market, and various barriers encountered. To do so, it deconstructs the Guangdong ETS, which is the largest and most representative of China’s seven ETS pilots. The book subsequently describes and evaluates all seven pilots in terms of their efficiency, macro and micro effects, the method involved in the DEA model, the CGE model, and cost-benefit analysis. In turn, in the assessment section it demonstrates how some ETS pilots have failed to control carbon emissions due to inordinately high emissions quotas issued by the local government etc. Further, it argues that ETS should focus on those industries with large emissions and high mitigating potential for the time being, and then gradually expand the scale of its coverage. As China’s national ETS is slated for launch on the basis of the lessons learned from the ETS pilots, the book offers a timely and valuable resource for all those who want to understand and forecast the development of China’s ETS. It includes a wealth of descriptions and explanations of Chinese government policies involving carbon emissions control, making it a unique resource.
