"Every decision about energy involves its price and cost. The price of gasoline and the cost of buying from foreign producers; the price of nuclear and hydroelectricity and the costs to our ecosystems; the price of electricity from coal-fired plants and the cost to the atmosphere. Giving life to inventions, lifestyle changes, geopolitical shifts, and things in-between, energy economics is of high interest to Academia, Corporations and ..."

"In the 50 years since the first volume of Progress in Optics was published, optics has become one of the most dynamic fields of science. The volumes in this series that have appeared up to now contain more than 300 review articles by distinguished research workers, which have become permanent records for many important developments, helping optical scientists and optical engineers stay abreast of their fields.Comprehensive, in-depth rev ..."
"Hydrogen is an ideal fuel for the future; it can greatly contribute to solve two of the big problems which the modern society faces: the security of the energy supply and the environmental impact and global warming caused by the pollutants emitted when using fossil fuels. However, in order that hydrogen is a real solution it has to be obtained through sustainable routes, that is, from renewable energy sources. This book focuses on the r ..."

Roth (1925) in suggesting the following as "the results from and desirability of
obtaining a regular harvest from the forest.” 1. A yearly cut of an approximately
equal volume, Size, quality, and value of timber provides a stable business

Reasoning About Geometry Gerard Meurant. The sink state of the most promising
operator is then made the current state ... The estimates generated prospectively
to choose operators are fundamentally less reliable than those that estimate
terminal states, because the future course of the plan is unknown at the time an
operator is chained. Hence, e.g., an es ..."

detailed the conservation problem in Papua New Guinea and concluded that
preservation in the present circumstances was the best path. A similar pattern
would appear to be true in Malaysia in that it is very hard to conserve species in
their habitat, until education and greater awareness of the botanical heritage that
needs conservation becomes accepted politica ..."
