Towards the Demise of the Unreliable and Risk Prone Use of Solid and Liquid Fuel and the Development of a Sustainable World Energy System which Assures Environmental Quality and Equitable Socio-economic System

Due to the increasing complexity of technological systems and the higher geographical density of punctual hazard sources, new methodologies and a novel approach to these problems are challenging risk managers and regional planers.

This book lays the foundation for an integrated NGIOA risk governance framework, and makes a convincing case for the far-reaching need and understanding of global risk concepts, global risk fundamentals, and risk centric integrated NGIOA governance.

This book presents the contributions from a workshop entitled "Electricity security in the cyber age: Managing the increasing dependence of the electricity infrastructure on ICT," which was organized in the Netherlands in May 2009.

Introduction This book includes terms of reference and offers an augmented volume of relevant work initiated within the comprehensive concept of "Knowledge Management and Risk Governance".

Advances in information technology provide opportunities for the development of computer systems that support risk managers in complex tasks. This book addresses four major issues in computer supported risk management: conceptual aspects; planning and policy analysis; operational decision making; and, commercial applications.

This book presents intellectual innovative information (I3) technologies based on logical and probabilistic (LP) risk models covering a range of systems and settings. Offers numerous applications demonstrating the effectiveness of risk management technologies.

This book offers engineering design and economic solutions for harvesting local and regional energy potential by means of solar, wind and hydro resources. Covers solutions, methods and techniques suitable for a large selection of renewable energy technologies.

With optimal management of water resources becoming ever more crucial, this book details the latest theories, and includes three real-life case studies of varying complexity that illustrate the practical aspects in differing fields of hydrosystem engineering.

This book addresses a key issue in today's society: the safer transport of dangerous goods, taking into account people, the environment and economics.

It would be possible to hypothesize that in extreme situations this could even upset national security.This book explores the potential risks and vulnerabilities of the European electricity infrastructure, other infrastructures and our society as whole increasingly depend on.

This book examines the state of America's socio-political system. It looks at the effect of globalization on leadership risks, requirements, and challenges. America's leadership may soon be challenged unless it recognizes the changing demands of the new globalized world.

A series of recent major industrial accidents and the effect of poUution highlighted, once again, the need for better management of rou tine and accidental risks.

I similarly personally managed large industrial and service organizations and their operations, and found that to succeed and have a content team of collaborators, decision-making had to be joint and delegated to the lowest competent and informed level.

This book demonstrates that solar, wind and biomass power alone, while helpful, are incapable of supplying and sustaining the enormous quantities of electricity and heat needed for manufacturing portable synthetic fuels to replace current use of fossil fuels.

In addition, it describes naphthenic acid corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen damages, sulfidic corrosion, microbiologically induced corrosion, erosion-corrosion, and corrosion fatigue occurring at refinery units.

Cementitious materials are being widely used as solidification/stabilisation and barrier materials for a variety of chemical and radioactive wastes, primarily due to their favourable retention properties for metals, radionuclides and other contaminants.

The International Section on Machine and System Safety was founded in 1975 to deal with questions on occupational risks in this ?eld at the inter- tional level.
