描述
"An important goal of the extended use of biomass is replacing fossil fuels. Potentially, all global energy needs can be covered with biomass if the utilization is efficient enough. This book provides the state of the art in the field of efficient conversion of biomass, covering most technical issues such as combustion, gasification, torrefaction, pyrolysis, pelletizing and biogasproduction. The book combines a thorough description of interesting new technologies and the basic principles and tools to be used in future process optimization work. The wide coverage of examples from all over the world will make the book important as a text book on the subject"-- Read more...

备用描述
Relating the story of the transatlantic struggle for subnuclear domination, The Quark How Europe Fought the Particle Physics War, Second Edition covers the history, the politics, and the personalities of particle physics. Extensively illustrated with many original photographs of the key players in the field, the book sheds new light on the sovereignty issues of modern scientific research as well as the insights it has produced.
Throughout the twentieth century, Europe and the United States have vied for supremacy of subnuclear physics. Initially, the advent of World War II and an enforced exodus of scientific talent from Europe boosted American efforts. Then, buoyed along by the need to develop the bomb and the ensuing distrust of the Cold War, the United States vaulted into a commanding role-a position it retained for almost fifty years. Throughout this period, each new particle accelerator was a major campaign, each new particle a battle won.
With the end of the Cold War, U.S. preeminence evaporated and Europe retook the advantage. Now CERN, for four decades the spearhead of the European fightback, stands as the leading global particle physics center. Today, particle physics is at a turning point in its history-how well Europe retains its advantage remains to be seen.

Throughout the twentieth century, Europe and the United States have vied for supremacy of subnuclear physics. Initially, the advent of the Second World War and an enforced exodus of scientific talent from Europe boosted American efforts. Then, buoyed along by the need to develop the bomb and the ensuing distrust of the Cold War, the USA vaulted into a commanding role - a position which it retained for almost fifty years. Throughout this period, each new particle accelerator was a major campaign, each new particle a battle won. With the end of the Cold War, US pre-eminence evaporated and Europe re-took the advantage. Now CERN, for four decades the spearhead of the European fightback, stands as the leading global particle physics centre. Today, particle physics is at a turning point in its history - how well Europe retains its advantage remains to be seen. Now, for the first time, the story of this transatlantic struggle for subnuclear domination can be told. Gordon Fraser, editor of CERN's in-house magazine, recounts the history, the politics and the personalities of particle physics in an absorbing tale which sheds new light on the sovereignty issues of modern scientific research, as well as the insights it has produced.
