Powertrain Systems for Net-Zero Transport

Powertrain Systems for Net-Zero Transport

The transport sector continues to shift towards alternative powertrains particularly with the UK Government’s announcement to end the sale of petrol and diesel passenger cars by 2030 and increasing support for alternatives. Despite this announcement the internal combustion continues to play a significant role both in the passenger car market through the use of hybrids and sustainable low carbon fuels as well as a key role in other sectors such as heavy-duty vehicles and off-highway applications across the globe. Building on the industry-leading IC Engines conference the 2021 Powertrain Systems for Net-Zero Transport conference (7-8 December 2021 London UK) focussed on the internal combustion engine’s role in Net-Zero transport as well as covered developments in the wide range of propulsion systems available (electric fuel cell sustainable fuels etc) and their associated powertrains. To achieve the net-zero transport across the globe the life-cycle analysis of future powertrain and energy was also discussed. Powertrain Systems for Net-Zero Transport provided a forum for engine fuels e-machine fuel cell and powertrain experts to look closely at developments in powertrain technology required to meet the demands of the net-zero future and global competition in all sectors of the road transportation off-highway and stationary power industries.

Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Construction as an industry sector is responsible for around one-third of the total worldwide energy usage and about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in the number of buildings and floor space area for residential and commercial purposes has imposed enormous pressure on existing energy sources. Implementations such as efficient usage of building energy systems design measures utilization of local energy resources energy storage and the use of renewable energy sources to meet electricity demands are currently under development and deployment for improving the energy performance index. However integrating all such measures and the development of nearly zero-energy and zero-emission buildings is yet to be explored. In this book the different control techniques and intelligent technologies used to improve the energy performance of buildings are illustrated. Every building energy control system has a two-fold objective for energy and comfort requirements to achieve a high comfort index (for thermal visual air quality humidity and various plug loads) and increase the energy performance index. The most significant aspect in the design of a building’s energy control system is modelling. All the components methodologies and processes involved in developing a renewable energy-driven building are covered in detail. This book is intended for graduates and professionals working towards the development of a sustainable built environment using renewable energy sources. | Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Advances in Nanotechnology for Smart Agriculture Techniques and Applications

Advances in Nanotechnology for Smart Agriculture Techniques and Applications

The yield of major agricultural crops can be severely decreased due to the inappropriate application of commonly used harmful chemicals. Excessive agrochemicals in field application can negatively affect microbial populations and their diversity which in turn ultimately affects plant growth. Thus it is necessary to turn toward more eco-friendly approaches which equally protect crops as well as the desirable microbial populations of complex soil systems. Nanoparticles are considered as potential agents for the production and development of sustainable agriculture. Green synthesis of nanoparticles has gained attention as a useful measure to diminish the harmful effects associated with the old methods of nanoparticle synthesis.

Logic of Arithmetic

Logic of Arithmetic

For propositional logic it can be decided whether a formula has a deduction from a finite set of other formulas. This volume begins with a method to decide this for the quantified formulas of those fragments of arithmetic which express the properties of order-plus-successor and of order-plus-addition (Pressburger arithmetic). It makes use of an algorithm eliminating quantifiers which in turn is also applied to obtain consistency proofs for these fragments. | Logic of Arithmetic

Phylogenetic Systematics Haeckel to Hennig

Phylogenetic Systematics Haeckel to Hennig

Phylogenetic Systematics: Haeckel to Hennig traces the development of phylogenetic systematics against the foil of idealistic morphology through 100 years of German biology. It starts with the iconic Ernst Haeckel—the German Darwin from Jena—and the evolutionary morphology he developed. It ends with Willi Hennig the founder of modern phylogenetic systematics. Written in English the book presents a unique perspective on a vast body of German biological literature. The book also offers a perspective on German biology in the Third Reich. The author looks at how idealistic morphology and phylogenetic systematics represented two antagonistic traditions in German biology the first organicist-holistic the latter empiricist-positivistic. In addition he explains the ways in which both traditions acquired socio-political and ideological connotations culminating in their accommodation to different strands of Nazi ideology. The book’s nine chapters summarize a century of the conceptual development of systematics describe both the history and philosophy of phylogenetic approaches to the understanding of the history of life examine the role of important people such as Haeckel Gegenbauer Portman von Bertalanffy Stresemann and Hennig and critically evaluate the impact and influence of Nazism on evolutionary biology. Chapter titles include: The Evolutionary Turn in Comparative Anatomy; Of Parts and Wholes; The Turn against Haeckel; The Rise of Holism in German Biology; The Rise of German (Aryan) Biology; Ganzheitsbiologie; The Ideological Instrumentalization of Biology; A New Beginning: From Speciation to Phylogenetics; and Grundzüge: The Conceptual Foundations of Phylogenetic Systematics. | Phylogenetic Systematics Haeckel to Hennig
