IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies

IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies

This critical and forward-looking book features: An assessment of the impact of Internet of Things (IoT) on the telecom industry’s revenue streams IoT-based business models in the telecom industry A PESTLE (political economic socio-cultural technological legal and environmental) analysis of the industry in relation to IoT Key technological drivers. It also features a case study of Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE) Inc. which highlights IoT-based business models in the industry. The study reveals that telecom operators have started implementing IoT projects however true revenue streams are yet to materialize. Ten IoT-based business models have been identified at BCE Inc. The book points out that operators do leverage existing infrastructure in terms of broadband fiber and mobile connectivity in part and resort to partnerships and acquisitions to acquire much-needed knowledge technology and smart devices. Concerning the effect of IoT on the telecoms’ revenue streams it was revealed that new entrants who are not necessarily in the telecom industry have impacted the old players’ revenue streams. OTT services like YouTube WhatsApp IPTV Netflix are the biggest culprits. Seven key technological drivers for IoT have been identified and include widespread wireless connectivity the availability and affordability of microcontrollers sensors and actuators the decreasing cost of bandwidth the recent implementation of IPv6 and the ongoing development of 5G network as well as the use of cloud computing and analytics. Finally the PESTLE analysis of the industry shows that the lack of a comprehensive political and regulatory framework still slows down IoT deployment. Interoperability security and privacy concerns are other constraints. Conversely general economic conditions in most developed and developing economies are favorable to the advancement of IoT technology. Governments are willing to subsidize R&D and have partnered with the private sector to speed up the roll-out process. | IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies

Food-Drug Synergy and Safety

Food-Drug Synergy and Safety

Scientists health professionals and consumers are increasingly interested in the relationships between food components and food-drug combinations as they strive to find more effective ways to prevent or treat chronic disease. As one of the first unified and in-depth sources in this emerging topic Food-Drug Synergy and Safety explores the vast potential benefits of food and food-drug synergy. The book addresses the interaction of two or more components within a single food between several foods or between foods and drugs consumed together in which the potential health benefit is greater than the effect of the single component food or drug. Each chapter follows a consistent framework and addresses the health benefits mechanisms of action and safety aspects pertaining to the food and food-drug synergies. Sections discuss food and food-drug synergies in the context of specific disease groups such as cardiovascular disease cancer osteoporosis inflammatory diseases hypertension and obesity for easy reference in a clinical setting. A separate section focuses entirely on performance enhancers including caffeine creatine and ephedrine/ephedra and their potential to influence human health in addition to ergogenic applications. The final section provides scientists with a framework for designing experiments that elucidate the heath benefits and safety aspects of food and food-drug synergies. Food-Drug Synergy and Safety lays the essential foundation in this new direction of research as it gains momentum in the fields of food nutrition medicine and pharmaceutical sciences.

Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

This book will not serve as the encyclopedia of cover crop management but it’s close. The benefits of a wide range of individual cover crops and blends/mixes for specific agronomic crop rotations and geographic locations are included. Descriptions photographs and illustrations show how cover crops look in the field including plant height leaf architecture and rooting patterns. Long term benefits are described for soil health soil structure water quality nutrient contributions soil biodiversity air quality and climate change. In addition to the whys of cover crop use the book includes details on the hows: how to choose cover crops for specific applications and locations; how (and when) to plant; how to manage and maintain the cover for maximum benefit; and how and when to terminate. Planting options include: drilling/planting between rows of an agronomic crop at planting time or when the crop is short (i. e. corn in early June); aerial seeding with an airplane or high-clearance machine shortly before the crop reaches maturity; and drilling/planting immediately after harvest of the agronomic crop. Selected cover crops (blends) can help with pest and disease management. Cover crops are an economic input with an expected return on investment similar to pesticides and fertilizer. As part of a continuous no-till system cover crops provide long-term biological chemical and structural benefits. The resulting increase in soil organic matter means the agronomic crop yields benefit from better water infiltration and water holding capacity greater availability of nitrogen and other nutrients deeper rooting and increased soil microbial activity in the root zone. | Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture
