GEO-X by John F. Raffensperger Pdf

This book is for executives who genuinely want to help end global warming and who believe in the power of markets. Executives understand the difficulties in ending global warming. Policymakers haven’t been able to make the necessary global deal for 50 years, because making the deal is too hard. Carbon pricing mechanisms are weak and partial. The market for carbon removal is fragmented, complex, and rife with moral hazard. Executives with sustainability objectives must use annoying internal carbon accounting or pricing as poor substitutes for economy-wide carbon pricing. Suppliers are subject to different regulations, complicating supply chain sustainability goals. Executives spend time and money to buy carbon offsets in good faith, only to discover – sometimes in the headlines − that their offsets are fraudulent. This book proposes a brave roadmap for a coalition of companies to solve these problems. The coalition can start a new institution, the Global Emissions and Offset Exchange (GEO-X). GEO-X would operate a unified two-sided market for emissions permits and carbon offsets. GEO-X would enforce those offsets with contracts and a standing cadre of scientists and lawyers. It has powerful incentives for participation. And it would use the most efficient cap-and-trade mechanism ever designed, with the ability to put a deadline on global warming. The book draws on classic economic principles, market design, game theory, and supply chain management. If you want to help end global warming and if you believe in the power of markets, get this book for your next plane flight.

MOS Interface Physics, Process and Characterization by Shengkai Wang,Xiaolei Wang Pdf

The electronic device based on Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) structure is the most important component of a large-scale integrated circuit, and is therefore a fundamental building block of the information society. Indeed, high quality MOS structure is the key to achieving high performance devices and integrated circuits. Meanwhile, the control of interface physics, process and characterization methods determine the quality of MOS structure. This book tries to answer five key questions: Why are high-performance integrated circuits bonded together so closely with MOS structure? Which physical phenomena occur in MOS structure? How do these phenomena affect the performance of MOS structure? How can we observe and quantify these phenomena scientifically? How to control the above phenomena through process? Principles are explained based on common experimental phenomena, from sensibility to rationality, via abundant experimental examples focusing on MOS structure, including specific experimental steps with a strong level of operability. This book will be an essential reference for engineers in semiconductor related fields and academics and postgraduates within the field of microelectronics.

Topics in Differential Geometry by Peter W. Michor Pdf

"This book treats the fundamentals of differential geometry: manifolds, flows, Lie groups and their actions, invariant theory, differential forms and de Rham cohomology, bundles and connections, Riemann manifolds, isometric actions, and symplectic and Poisson geometry. It gives the careful reader working knowledge in a wide range of topics of modern coordinate-free differential geometry in not too many pages. A prerequisite for using this book is a good knowledge of undergraduate analysis and linear algebra."--BOOK JACKET.

Earth Observation with CHAMP by Christoph Reigber,Hermann Lühr,Peter Schwintzer,Jens Wickert Pdf

In the summer of 2000 the German geo-research satellite CHAMP was launched into orbit. Its innovative payload arrangement and the low initial orbit allow CHAMP to simultaneously collect and almost continuously analyse precise data relating to gravity and magnetic fields at low altitude. In addition, CHAMP also measures the neutral atmosphere and ionosphere using GPS techniques. Three years after launch, more than 200 CHAMP investigators and co-investigators from all over the world met at the GeoForschungsZentrum in Potsdam to present and discuss the results derived from the extensive data sets of the mission. The main outcome of this expert meeting is summarized in this volume. The book offers a comprehensive insight into the present status of the exploitation of CHAMP data for Earth system research and practical applications in geodesy, geophysics and meteorology.

Germanium-Based Technologies by Cor Claeys,Eddy Simoen Pdf

Germanium is a semiconductor material that formed the basis for the development of transistor technology. Although the breakthrough of planar technology and integrated circuits put silicon in the foreground, in recent years there has been a renewed interest in germanium, which has been triggered by its strong potential for deep submicron (sub 45 nm) technologies. Germanium-Based technologies: From Materials to Devices is the first book to provide a broad, in-depth coverage of the field, including recent advances in Ge-technology and the fundamentals in material science, device physics and semiconductor processing. The contributing authors are international experts with a world-wide recognition and involved in the leading research in the field. The book also covers applications and the use of Ge for optoelectronics, detectors and solar cells. An ideal reference work for students and scientists working in the field of physics of semiconductor devices and materials, as well as for engineers in research centres and industry. Both the newcomer and the expert should benefit from this unique book. State-of-the-art information available for the first time as an all-in-source Extensive reference list making it an indispensable reference book Broad coverage from fundamental aspects up to industrial applications

50 Years of First-Passage Percolation by Antonio Auffinger,Michael Damron,Jack Hanson Pdf

First-passage percolation (FPP) is a fundamental model in probability theory that has a wide range of applications to other scientific areas (growth and infection in biology, optimization in computer science, disordered media in physics), as well as other areas of mathematics, including analysis and geometry. FPP was introduced in the 1960s as a random metric space. Although it is simple to define, and despite years of work by leading researchers, many of its central problems remain unsolved. In this book, the authors describe the main results of FPP, with two purposes in mind. First, they give self-contained proofs of seminal results obtained until the 1990s on limit shapes and geodesics. Second, they discuss recent perspectives and directions including (1) tools from metric geometry, (2) applications of concentration of measure, and (3) related growth and competition models. The authors also provide a collection of old and new open questions. This book is intended as a textbook for a graduate course or as a learning tool for researchers.

Lectures on Optimal Transport by Luigi Ambrosio,Elia Brué,Daniele Semola Pdf

This textbook is addressed to PhD or senior undergraduate students in mathematics, with interests in analysis, calculus of variations, probability and optimal transport. It originated from the teaching experience of the first author in the Scuola Normale Superiore, where a course on optimal transport and its applications has been given many times during the last 20 years. The topics and the tools were chosen at a sufficiently general and advanced level so that the student or scholar interested in a more specific theme would gain from the book the necessary background to explore it. After a large and detailed introduction to classical theory, more specific attention is devoted to applications to geometric and functional inequalities and to partial differential equations.

The Time Window of Language by Martin Trautwein Pdf

Focusing on English and German examples, the study deals with the temporal interpretation of texts in non-aspect languages. The author presumes that a coherent interpretation of a text results from a complex interaction between linguistic and extra-linguistic information. The study presents a unified account of the semantics of temporality which treats the varying grammatical factors (aspectual classes, tense, and discourse structure) in a systematic way.
