...energy (RE) hinges on the development and upscaling of manufacturing and logistics capacities, offering industrial development opportunities for regions and countries. In this paper, we analyse how contextual factors pertaining to pre-existing regional assets and multi-scalar institutional environments...
...social sciences and risk research. The paper examines why different methods/tools produce different results/decisions, and what properties (characteristics) are embedded in the methods/models themselves. Emphasis will also be given to the failure, rather than success, of sensitivity and scenario analysis...
This paper analyzes and contrasts the constraints, stakeholders, and framing goals that must be considered when Energy Master Planning (EMP) is conducted for communities in seven countries. The analysis is based on findings from seven countries participating in the International Energy Agency’s “Energy...
We herein investigate the alumination mechanism of siliceous micro- and mesoporous materials (SBA-15, SBA-16, and dealuminated Y-zeolite) with NaAlO2 to synthesize new ion exchangers and acid catalysts. We show that in aqueous alkaline solution, the materials’ surface is partially dissolved to form Si(OH)x...
Thraustochytrids of the genera Schizochytrium and Aurantiochytrium accumulate oils rich in the essential, marine n3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). As part of studies of the DHA-production in Aurantiochytrium sp. T66 (ATCC® PRA-276™), the 43 Mbp draft genome was annotated based on ab-initio prediction...
...software. Our ‘hot spot’ analysis for the period 2008/2009–2014 suggests that action–reaction dynamics are present in the Middle East, Central and Southern Africa, and the South Caucasus. Neither South nor East or South East Asia is ridden by severe security competition. Europe generally forms a ‘cold spot’...
...assessment of actual indoor climate condition and energy performance in eight NZEB school and daycare centers of NERO H2020 project. Physical parameters such as indoor temperature, relative humidity, CO2, airflow rate and temperature were measured during heating and cooling seasons, in parallel with an occupants’...
...buildings (ZEB) and energy-producing buildings is increasing along with the growing focus on material resource abundance and scarcity, energy efficiency, renewable and non-polluting energy sources and carriers, and environmental impact. In this respect, development of new materials and technologies will...
Knowledge of the conductivity and permittivity of materials used in subsea connectors is needed to predict the electric field distribution in the connectors. The synthetic ester Midel 7131, being one of several dielectric liquids used in subsea connectors, has been chosen as a relevant candidate material...
