Summary: Energy impacts every aspect of our lives – yet energy remains a vast and complex subject. For the past two years I have been filming a major documentary on global energy. Based on personal visits to many of the world’s leading energy sites and conversations with top industry, academic and government leaders, I will look inside the complex world of energy and provide a realistic and balanced view of energy supply, demand, efficiency, infrastructure, and scale. All major forms of...

Dieses Interview ist das erste in unserer neuen Reihe "ZBW Report". In lockerer Folge berichten hier Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter der ZBW über ihre interessante Arbeit.

Offshore wind power can contribute extensively to a clean, robust, and diversified U.S. energy portfolio. Capturing the Nation's large and inexhaustible offshore wind resource has the potential to mitigate climate change, improve the environment, increase energy security, and stimulate the U.S. economy. This seminar provides a broad understanding of the global offshore wind industry today and the associated technology challenges, economics, permitting procedures, and potential risks and...

Autohemotherapy, in cattle with cutaneous papillomas, has promising results. NCBI - Bookshelf U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health. Chapter 4. EPITHELIAL AND MELANOCYTIC TUMORS OF THE SKIN. Skin tumors are relatively frequent, especially in dogs, horses, cattle and cats. There is a variable incidence, but especially a large diversity of tumor types in the different species of domestic animals. It is admitted that the classification of skin tumors is...

Renewable energy sources currently provide about only about 10% of the nation’s electricity, with most of that coming from large hydro sources. Renewable energy sources are scattered around the country, with much of the best wind and solar resources located in remote locations. These sources also may have a big footprint compared to conventional sources. Finally, solar and wind are often described as intermittent due to their variable and uncertain output. As a consequence, it is often...

Energy loss through the windows remains a dominant obstacle in obtaining zero-energy buildings. In particular, for mixed climate environments, the solar heat gain coefficient of a window must be switchable to control the amount of solar heating in the winter and summer seasons. Furthermore, it is desirable for the system not to consume energy from the grid and operate in an autonomous way. Finally, the system must be scalable and cost effective to retrofit existing windows. In this talk, we...
