Red Sea Geothermal Provinces

Red Sea Geothermal Provinces

“Today over two billion people in developing countries live without any electricity. They lead lives of misery walking miles every day for water and firewood just to survive. What if there was an existing viable technology that when developed to its highest potential could increase everyone’s standard of living cut fossil fuel demand and the resultant pollution” said Peter Meisen President Global Energy Network Institute in 1997. Even though energy is available technology was not matured enough to tap this energy in the nineties. Now with the advancement of drilling technology extracting heat from hot rocks has become a reality. Very soon when CO2 replaces the circulation fluid to extract heat from granites then both fossil fuel based and renewable energy sources will coexists balancing the CO2 emissions and providing energy food and water security to the rich and the poor countries. Red Sea rift represents the youngest spreading ridges in the world with a vast amount of heat energy stored on either side. The Red Sea is surrounded by countries with a weak economy. Developing a geothermal energy based economy in countries like Eritrea Djibouti and Ethiopia will provide food and water security to these countries while for other countries geothermal energy will help in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Although geothermal energy sources are available in all the countries since the opening of the Red Sea millions of years ago this was not brought to the light. Oil importing countries became highly dependent on the oil rich countries to sustain their economy and growth and thus remained poor. This book unfolds the huge energy source hydrothermal and EGS for the benefit of the poor countries to reduce poverty and lift the socio economic status of these countries. The book deals with i) future energy demand ii) CO2 emissions associated with fossil fuel based power plants iii) black carbon emissions associated biomass energy source and iv) strategies to reduce CO2 emissions by using geothermal energy as energy source mix in all the countries—oil exporting and oil importing countries— around the Red Sea. The amount of energy available from hot granites in all the countries is well documented. EGS being the future energy source for mankind this book will form the basis for future research by young scientists and academicians. Availability of fresh water is a matter of concern for all countries. The only way to satisfy the thirst of a growing population to meet drinking water demand and food security is to depend on seawater. A large volume of CO2 is being emitted from desalination plants supported by fossil fuel based energy sources. This book describes the advantages of using geothermal energy sources for the desalination process to meet the growing water and food demand of the countries around the Red Sea. Oil rich countries using its geothermal resources can now reduce food imports and become self sufficient in food production. This book gives hope for millions of children living in the underdeveloped countries around the Red Sea to satisfy their hunger and live a decent life with a continuous source of electricity water and food available. This book ends with a note on the economic benefits of geothermal energy vs other renewables. With the signing of the GGA (Global Geothermal Alliance) by several countries during the December 2015 CoP 21 summit in Paris policy makers and administrators will work together in implementing the necessary infrastructure and support to develop this clean energy source. | Red Sea Geothermal Provinces

Red Blood Cell Aggregation

Red Blood Cell Aggregation

Red blood cells in humans—and most other mammals—have a tendency to form aggregates with a characteristic face-to-face morphology similar to a stack of coins. Known as rouleaux these aggregates are a normally occurring phenomenon and have a major impact on blood rheology. What is the underlying mechanism that produces this pattern? Does this really happen in blood circulation? And do these rouleaux formations have a useful function? The first book to offer a comprehensive review of the subject Red Blood Cell Aggregation tackles these and other questions related to red blood cell (RBC) aggregates. The book covers basic clinical and physiological aspects of this important biophysical phenomenon and integrates these areas with concepts in bioengineering. It brings together state-of-the-art research on the determinants mechanisms and measurement and effects of RBC aggregation as well as on variations and comparative aspects. After an introductory overview the book outlines factors and conditions that affect RBC aggregation. It presents the two hypotheses—the bridging model and the depletion model—that provide potential mechanisms for the adhesive forces that lead to the regular packing of the cells in rouleaux formations. The book also reviews the methods used to quantify RBC aggregation in vitro focusing on their importance in clinical practice. Chapters discuss the effect of RBC aggregation on the in vitro rheology of blood as well as on tube flow. The book also looks at what happens in the circulation when red blood cells aggregate and examines variations due to physiological and pathophysiological challenges. The concluding chapter explores the formation of red blood cell aggregates in other mammals. Written by leading researchers in the field this is an invaluable resource for basic science medical and clinical researchers; graduate stu

Biological Affinity in Forensic Identification of Human Skeletal Remains Beyond Black and White

Biological Affinity in Forensic Identification of Human Skeletal Remains Beyond Black and White

Ancestry determination in the identification of unknown remains can be a challenge for forensic scientists and anthropologists especially when the remains available for testing are limited. There are various techniques for the assessment of ancestry ranging from traditional to new microbiological and computer-assisted methods. Biological Affinity in Forensic Identification of Human Skeletal Remains: Beyond Black and White presents a range of tools that can be used to identify the probable socio-cultural race category of unknown human remains. Gathering insight from those who have made recent improvements and scientific advances in the field the book begins with the historical foundations of the concept of biological affinity and the need for increased research into methods for determining ancestry of skeletal remains. The contributors cover a range of topics including: Ancestry estimation from the skull using morphoscopic and morphometric traits and variables Innovative methods from metric analyses of the postcrania and new approaches to dental non-metric variationThe biological diversity of Hispanic populations and use of discriminant function analysis and 3D-ID software to determine ancestryMethods of age progression and facial reconstructions to create two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) facial composites for missing peopleThe preparation of skeletal remains for DNA extraction and sampling and mtDNA methods that are available for identification of haplogroups (e. g. ancestral populations) No single method or technique is adequate in the assessment of ancestry. For accurate determinations the use of traditional and new techniques combined yields better results. This book demonstrates the large repertoire of tools available to those tasked with these challenging determinations. | Biological Affinity in Forensic Identification of Human Skeletal Remains Beyond Black and White
