Free Download The Contribution of Technology to Added Value By António S.C Fernandes (auth.)
2013 | 104 Pages | ISBN: 1447150007 | PDF | 2 MB
There is a wide consensus that introduction of technology to the production process contributes to an overall economic value, however, confusion between technology, knowledge and capital often makes value calculations ambiguous and non-objective. The Contribution of Technology to Added Value addresses not only this issue of definition but also provides a production model to assess the value contribution of technology within the production process.A clarification of fundamental semantics provides a significant taxonomy for technology dependence, and allows understanding and modeling of how knowledge, technology and capital individually contribute to production and to value adding. A new technology dependence taxonomy is proposed and assessed following chapters explaining growth models, the KTC model and technology index values.Balancing theoretical knowledge with real-world data and applications The Contribution of Technology to Added Value clarifies the issue of value adding for a range of different viewpoints and purposes; from academic to industry and service across engineering, economics and management.

English | ISBN: 1606922327 | 2008 | 214 pages | PDF | 9 MB
The book is dedicated to results of fundamental investigations in the field of dense low temperature plasma and their technical applications. It also includes technical applications of the results in the following areas. Pulse discharges – high power pulse plasma generators with power up to 10 GW and currents up to 3 MA have been created. Their application in new plasma technologies – creation of electric-physical systems of bodies, hyper-acceleration on the basis of electric discharge and combined units, blowing of cones, X-ray and UV generation.Discharge in flows – Stationary AC in three-phase powerful generators from 1 kW up to 80 MW working on various media. New plasma technologies are developed on the basis of these plasma generators. These plasma technologies are used for processing and neutralisation of highly toxic waste; synthesis-gas (CO+H2) and hydrogen production from organic containing waste, for treatment of coals and slates for application in power engineering and production of liquid fuels. Pulse discharge in liquids – creation of devices for bactericidal water treatment, and also for generation charged oxide nanoparticles and their applications in medicine (researches in the field of biology, genetics, and oncology).
