The environmental implications of nanotechnology are the possible effects that the use of nanotechnological materials and devices will have on the environment. As nanotechnology is an emerging field, there is great debate regarding to what extent industrial and commercial use of nanomaterials will affect organisms and ecosystems. Nanotechnology's environmental implications can be split into two aspects: the potential for nanotechnologcal innovations to help improve the environment, and the possibly novel type of pollution that nanotechnological materials might cause if released into the environment....

The environmental impacts of reservoirs are coming under ever increasing scrutiny as the world demand for water and energy increases and the number and size of reservoirs increases. Dams and the reservoirs can be used to supply drinking water, generate hydroelectric power, increasing the water supply for irrigation, provide recreational opportunities and to improve certain aspects of the environment. However, adverse environmental and sociological impacts have also been identified during and after many reservoir constructions. Whether reservoir projects are ultimately beneficial or detrimental—to both the...

Rapid IT evolution has exponentially increased the consumption of electronics and raised a number of environmental concerns in society. While the electronics industry has achieved impressive improvements in resource efficiency, pollution prevention and reduction of product toxicity, the improvements have been unable to cope with the negative effect of growing consumption and rapid product obsolescence. As a result, addressing the issue of consumption is a crucial complementary strategy to reduce the absolute environmental footprint of IT. This thesis explores the environmental effects of dematerialisation through product servicising - substituting traditional computing systems based on owned PCs, with outsourced computing services...

The enhancement of the hydrophilicity of synthetic polymers is a key requirement for many applications ranging from electronics to functional textile manufacture. Until now, few studies about the functionalisation of polyamide 6.6 fabrics with enzymes have been published. This work is a significant step for the replacement of the chemical functionalisation by the enzymatic one. It is proved that enzymes, like cutinases or proteases, can be environmentally friendly tools for the surface hydrolysis of polyamide 6.6. The bulk properties of the polymers are not affected and the process can be controlled, in face of chemical methods which are based in an “all-or-nothing” mechanism. The practical evidences of enzymatic hydrolysis were...

Recently there has been a great interest in the study of La2NiO4 due to its MIEC properties, which make it suitable in electrochemical devices, such as cathode in ITSOFCs, permeation membranes or gas sensors. This work is focused on the study, from a fundamental point of view, of epitaxial c-axis oriented La2NiO4 thin films deposited by PI-MOCVD on different substrates, to achieve a better comprehension of the microstructural characteristics, their variation with strain and their influence in the high temperature transport properties. Moreover, the epitaxiality permits the measurement of the films' properties in two perpendicular directions, a direct inset of the anisotropy. La2NiO4 is the n=1 member of the Lan+1NinO3n+1...

Equal channel angular extrusion/pressing (ECAE/ECAP) is a well-known process technique for development of bulk ultrafine grained materials from pure metals, alloys, composites and polymers. However, little is known about the ECAE behaviour of intermetallics, which are poorly ductile and hard to deform. This book begins with a due introduction to ECAE on bulk materials and provides finite element analysis of ECAE and experimental validation to the modelling results. Subsequently it dwells on the ECAE processing of intermetallic superconducting powder filled in tubes, mechanics of ECAE processing of the heterogeneous specimens, and resultant microstructure and mechanical properties. Its potential in ultra-clean,low-energy, optimal...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The equirectangular projection (also called the equidistant cylindrical projection, geographic projection, plate carree or carte parallelogrammatique projection or CPP) is a very simple map projection attributed to Marinus of Tyre, who Ptolemy claims invented the projection about 100 AD. The projection maps meridians to equally spaced vertical straight lines, and circles of latitude to evenly spread horizontal straight lines. The projection is neither equal area nor conformal. Because of the distortions introduced by this projection, it has little use in navigation or cadastral mapping and finds its main use in thematic mapping. In particular, the plate carree has become a de-facto standard for...

Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability. The International Ergonomics association defines ergonomics as follows. Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. Ergonomics is employed to fulfill the two goals of health and productivity. It is relevant in the design of such things as safe furniture...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Erie Belle was a Great Lakes steam ship which exploded in 1883 along the eastern shore of Lake Huron. Built in 1864 as the Hector, she initially served the east coast of the USA during the Civil War era. She sailed for many years as a packet steamer on Lake Erie, until sinking and being re-built as a tug. During monumental storms in November 1883 she was sent to an area south of Kincardine, Ontario, Canada to rescue the schooner J. M. Carter which had been blown ashore. While maneuvering offshore it is thought that the water supply to the boiler was cut off, and when restored, superheated steam blew up the boiler and the ship. Four crewmen died. Interestingly, and ironically, the remains of...
