Nanotechnology and Microelectronics: Global Diffusion, Economics and Policy provides comprehensive research and case studies on the issues surrounding technology transfer and diffusion, trends and developments, and economics and policies as they relate to these technologies. This book serves as a resource for academics, students, policy-makers and professionals interested in advancing their knowledge of nanotechnology and microelectronics.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy: Corrosion Behavior Application

Many applications in motorcontrollers, bio-acquisition systems and energy cells balancers require reconfigurable and adaptive architectures to mitigate environmental perturbations in real time. The complexity of designing such systems is challenging, requiring robust architectures. This book provides a multimode paradigm, such that performance parameters can be adjusted using closed loop adaptation driven on sensory data from the environment. It presents mixed signal integrated System-on-Chip microsystems, which combine on-chip reconfigurable and adaptive circuit capabilities to deliver precise control signals to driver networks/electrodes. A broad applicable concept, is demonstrated by realizing controllers for surgical robots that provide performance metrics needed to manipulate delicate tissues while minimizing damage during minimal invasive surgery. Also, a single-chip/biochip for biosignals like EEG (brain), EOG (eye), ECG (heart), EMG (muscle) and neural recordings, and precision analog front-ends that support cells monitoring, variation detection, overcurrent protection and equalization are presented. The book is written for professionals and the entire academic community.

N. Ekekwe, Adaptive Application-Specific Instrumentation and Control Microsystems: MotorControllers, BioAcquisition Systems & Battery Cells Balancers, LAP, Koln, Germany, 2009.

In the first half of the twentieth century, corrosion engineers and material scientists used techniques such as salt spray and weight loss as their major methods of evaluating corrosion rates. Despite their reliabilities, these techniques are complex and time-consuming. With time, a new method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), has emerged to become firmly established as de facto method of evaluating corrosion behavior. This popularity has directly followed the widespread use of impedance techniques in fundamental and applied electrochemistry, and materials science. In this book, EIS is explained, qualitatively and quantitatively, and its applications to corrosion behavior of metallic structures are discussed. Because the corrosion of carbon steel and aluminum is a major infrastructure degradation problem in practically all industries, including the chemical, mineral, materials, and petrochemical industries world-wide, EIS based corrosion experiments were conducted with these metals towards developing models that will guide structural continuity management. The book is written for professionals and the entire academic community

Co-Creation Hub Nigeria Partners With World Bank And NASA For Waterhackathon

October 21st to 23rd, 2011 is the period for the global WaterHackathon, an event designed with a simple mission: solve global water problems. Co-Creation Hub Nigeria will be hosting the event in Nigeria through a partnership with NASA, World Bank, among others. Simply, they want to bring software experts to hack water problems out and come up with solutions.

The WaterHackathon is a two-day marathon hacking event with multiple global locations bringing together software developers from all over to hack on real-world water problems.  The WaterHackathon event is planned for Fall 2011.

Do not think far, there is software in water purification and quality. It is just that it may not be that simple as per Nigeria’s problems because the people that need water do not live in Lagos. Some are not even counted in Nigeria’s census because they are cut-off from life. Read more and get the solutions right away if you have a lot of code armor; it is software for water; yes, software!

Water is essential to sustain life and economic development. Yet the number of people without access remains daunting: 2.5 billion with no sanitation and 887 million without access to safe water. The sustainable management of water resources has acquired a new urgency in the face a global population expected to reach nine billion by 2050, economic development spurring demand for more and better food, and increased hydrological variability caused by climate change.

New ideas, better data and innovative instruments are needed to respond to this global water crisis. In search of just that, The World Bank and its partners aims to seed a new community that brings together software engineers and water experts to (1) identify critical global challenges and project specific problems in order to (2) develop software to respond to them.  Towards this, end the WaterHackathon was conceived as venue for co-creation.

Until then, we invite you to get involved.  We need water experts from around the world to define, refine and submit problem definitions on the wide-range of water issues facing developing countries today, including access to clean water and sanitation, flood management and agricultural water management and environmental pollution.

Check out the problem definition ideas and learn how to submit a water problem.

Print Providers Place Importance In Recycled Paper, Says InfoTrends Research

During the fourth quarter of 2010, InfoTrends and the North American Publishing Company (NAPCO) conducted a Web-based questionnaire with print providers regarding their opinions on print revenue/volume trends, paper grades, runnability issues, and paper attributes. Due to the growing importance of environmental sustainability, some of the questions were directly related to “green” initiatives.

 

The respondents indicated that 35% of its paper consumption is recycled. In-plants have a higher consumption of recycled paper compared to print-for-pay respondents. The higher percentage for in-plants may be due to corporate policies mandating a certain percentage of paper products be recycled material.

 

 

About 68% of respondents felt that certain vertical segments are more committed than others to using recycled content. Pricing seems to be a barrier for increased use of recycled content by customers. Around 57% indicated that their customers are unwilling to pay more for recycled paper compared to 22% who believe their customers would.

 

There is a belief that larger companies, in an effort to minimize their environmental footprint, are more committed to using recycled content. This belief holds true among the survey respondents with nearly half agreeing that this is the case. Nevertheless, there remains some ambivalence about the use of recycled content for personal use by customers. Close to 38% of respondents were unsure about customers’ preference to use recycled paper for their own use than for print jobs.

 

It is very evident that as the environment movement continues, more people will be using recycled papers.
