Taking Population Seriously

Taking Population Seriously

Originally published in 1988 and 1990 this book asks what positive lessons can be learned from some of the developing world’s success stories on population. Six developing world countries as well as the Indian state of Kerala had achieved dramatic reductions in birth rates at the time the book was originally published. The book examines what made their success possible and what lessons they held for the planet where human beings (now as then) must bring our species into balance with the natural world. | Taking Population Seriously

The Social Challenges and Opportunities of Low Carbon Development

The Social Challenges and Opportunities of Low Carbon Development

This book explores the social implications and challenges of low-carbon development. The argument of the book is that a broad understanding of low-carbon development is essential for mitigating climate change and enabling development in a carbon-constrained world but there are risks that low-carbon development might come at a price that is both social and economic. These risks need to be carefully assessed and reduced. The main aim of the book is to explore critically analyse and propose different ways of understanding low-carbon development from a social perspective in both developed and developing countries. The author uses concepts such as low-carbon development social policy sustainable development and environmental justice to understand the social implications of low-carbon development projects. The book first elaborates the need to understand the social issues and challenges of low-carbon development in both developed and developing countries. It then discusses five contemporary challenges of low-carbon development: the social consequences of Chinese hydropower dams in the Mekong region; the cost of the transition to renewable energies such as wind energy in Germany; the challenges of carbon offsetting in Brazil; the nexus of fuel-inefficient housing and fuel poverty in England; solar power for refugees in Africa. The book fills a crucial gap for researchers postgraduates practitioners and policy-makers in the fields of climate change development and social policy.

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The role of small hydropower is becoming increasingly important on a global level. Increasing energy demand and environmental awareness has further triggered research and development into sustainable low-cost technologies. In developing countries particularly in rural areas the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions. With this in mind the development of a next generation low-head hydropower machines was subject of investigation in the EU-project HYLOW. Being part of the research lines of that project this thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables numerical models to be quite accurate and incorporate physical complexities like free surfaces and rotating machines. The results of the CFD simulations carried out in this research show that a change in blade geometry can result in higher torque levels thereby increasing performance. Numerical simulations also enabled to determine the optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and further improve performance by modifying the channel bed conditions upstream and downstream of the water wheel. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range low-head hydropower machines like optimised water wheels seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by providing local energy solutions. | Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Green Energy Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact

Green Energy Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact

Green Energy: Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact defines the future of the world’s electricity supply system exploring the key issues associated with global warming and which energy systems are best suited to reducing it. Electricity generation is a concentrated industry with a few sources of emissions which can be controlled or legislated against. This book explains that a green sustainable electricity system is one whose construction installation and operation minimally affect the environment and produce power reliability at an affordable price. It addresses the question of how to build such an electricity supply system to meet the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment. The green argument for conservation and renewable energies is a contradiction in terms. Although they produce no emissions because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units a considerable amount of energy is required to produce erect and maintain them. This book is a response to that conundrum answering key questions such as: How can renewables be exploited to contribute the greatest energy input? Should coal be used for clean fuel and chemical production rather than for power generation? How quickly can we start to build the Green Energy system? The author has more than forty years of experience as an international journalist reporting on power-generating technologies and on energy policies around the world. Detailing the developmental history and current state of the global nuclear industry he discusses the dire immediate need for large quantities of clean emission-free electric power for both domestic and industrial uses. This book details how current technologies—particularly nuclear combined cycle and hydro—can be applied to satisfy safely the growing energy demands in the future. | Green Energy Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact

Job Shop Lean An Industrial Engineering Approach to Implementing Lean in High-Mix Low-Volume Production Systems

In the 1950’s the design and implementation of the Toyota Production System (TPS) within Toyota had begun. In the 1960’s Group Technology (GT) and Cellular Manufacturing (CM) were used by Serck Audco Valves a high-mix low-volume (HMLV) manufacturer in the United Kingdom to guide enterprise-wide transformation. In 1996 the publication of the book Lean Thinking introduced the entire world to Lean. Job Shop Lean integrates Lean with GT and CM by using the five Principles of Lean to guide its implementation: (1) identify value (2) map the value stream (3) create flow (4) establish pull and (5) seek perfection. Unfortunately the tools typically used to implement the Principles of Lean are incapable of solving the three Industrial Engineering problems that HMLV manufacturers face when implementing Lean: (1) finding the product families in a product mix with hundreds of different products (2) designing a flexible factory layout that fits hundreds of different product routings and (3) scheduling a multi-product multi-machine production system subject to finite capacity constraints. Based on the Author’s 20+ years of learning teaching researching and implementing Job Shop Lean since 1999 this book Describes the concepts tools software implementation methodology and barriers to successful implementation of Lean in HMLV production systems Utilizes Production Flow Analysis instead of Value Stream Mapping to eliminate waste in different levels of any HMLV manufacturing enterprise Solves the three Industrial Engineering problems that were mentioned earlier using software like PFAST (Production Flow Analysis and Simplification Toolkit) Sgetti and Schedlyzer Explains how the one-at-a-time implementation of manufacturing cells constitutes a long-term strategy for Continuous Improvement Explains how product families and manufacturing cells are the basis for implementing flexible automation machine monitoring virtual cells Manufacturing Execution Systems and other elements of Industry 4. 0 Teaches a new method Value Network Mapping to visualize large multi-product multi-machine production systems whose Value Streams share many processes Includes real success stories of Job Shop Lean implementation in a variety of production systems such as a forge shop a machine shop a fabrication facility and a shipping department Encourages any HMLV manufacturer planning to implement Job Shop Lean to leverage the co-curricular and extracurricular programs of an Industrial Engineering department | Job Shop Lean An Industrial Engineering Approach to Implementing Lean in High-Mix Low-Volume Production Systems

Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

The book argues that there is no monolithic homosexuality; there are only homosexualities that is there are as many reasons for being gay as there are gays. Some people are born gay some have gayness thrust upon them and some do indeed achieve to great gayness. Representation of homosexuality/homoeroticism as it is understood today is thus a western import. The act and public/social discourses on same-sex love are still illegal; it is according to many against the Indian ‘tradition’; and a sense of ‘history’ is seriously problematic when we dig out for a past tradition of homoerotic love and desire. Hoshang Merchant through an examination of texts films poetry attempts to analyse and crack the codes of sexual (mis)conduct in contemporary India giving short histories of the fate of several gay writers and explaining the difficulties of ‘coming out’. | Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

Public opinion polls and British politics

Public opinion polls and British politics

First published in 1970 Public opinion polls and British politics provides an introductory guide to political polling in Britain. The book describes the polling organizations themselves their sampling methods and some of the general problems encountered in survey work. A distinction is drawn between polls concerned with voting intentions (predictive polls) and polls concerned with the expression of opinion (opinion polls) and problems of interpretation in each are discussed. Public opinion polls are then considered in the context of British politics – firstly their relationship with the general principles of representative democracy and secondly their effect on the practice of politics. Finally a word of caution is sounded against taking the polls too seriously as accurate indicators of the thinking of the British electorate and also against treating the implications of their potential uses too lightly. This book is a must read for students of British politics election studies and political science.
