Energy is an important input for socioeconomic development and human well-being. The rationality of energy transitions toward cleaner resources not only to improve individual living conditions, but also enhance the economic growth a nation. Nepal considered be one countries with low per-capita electricity use, heavily relying on traditional such as firewood agricultural residues. country rich i...

Lithium, a silver-white alkali metal, with significantly high energy density, has been exploited for making rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). They have become one of the main storage solutions in modern electric cars (EVs). Cobalt, nickel, and manganese are three other key components LiBs that power vehicles Neodymium dysprosium, two rare earth metals, used permanent magnet-based motor...

hazards of the market and slaughterhouse are of considerable interest. Although dealing with a specific livery company, this book also contributes importantly to the history of London and provides excellent background information for the historian of medicine concerned with city life in general. In view of the fact that water has played and continues to play a vital and essential role in man's ...

Renewable Energy consists of energy generated from natural and unlimited sources, which include, among others, wind, solar, biomass and hydroelectricity. These energy sources, unlike the fossil fuels, do not contribute to the greenhouse gas emissions, namely the carbon dioxide emissions, and do not suffer from depletion as well. The global environmental alertness to protect Earth from the devas...

Global warming will continue, and the Arctic is expected to warm at twice the global average rate (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007). The most pronounced changes will occur during winter with increased precipitation, more precipitation falling as rain, and a shorter snow period (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007; Roderfeld et al. 2008). These changes will have far-rea...

a r t i c l e i n f o In this work we develop a new approach to study the energy import resilience of an economy using linear programming and economic input–output analysis. In particular, we propose an energy import resilience index by examining the maximum level of energy import reduction that the economy can endure without sacrificing domestic demands. A mixed integer programming model is th...

The objective of this study is to assess the variation of pollution in the Thai-Laos Mekong associated with seasonal dynamics concomitant with the natural geological features and human activities that impact on the adverse quality of the river. The complex ecology of the 1500 km stretch of the Thai-Laos Mekong River has been studied in this paper to understand the relationship with the geomorph...
