Energy Resource Dynamics
by Patrick Kalasa Kalifungwa
2025 · Xoffencer International Book Publication House
Energy sources are forms of potential energy that can be used to perform work. An energy resource is anything that can generate heat, make objects move, and produce electricity. Energy sources are categorised as renewable if they constantly and rapidly renew themselves for steady reliable use. Any other source of energy is considered non –renewable. All living organisms constantly take in and release energy. The Earth’s climate and ecosystems processes are driven primarily by radiant energy from the sun. The energy Industry provides the energy required for human civilization to function, which it obtains from energy resources such as fossil fuels, nuclear fuel, renewable energy, and geothermal energy. The total energy of a system can be subdivided and classified into potential energy, kinetic energy, or combinations of the two in various ways. Kinetic energy is determined by the involvement of an object- or the composite motion of the object components –while potential energy reflects the potential of an object to have motion, generally being based upon the object’s position within a field or what is stored within the field itself.
Urgent Interventional Therapies

2014 · John Wiley & Sons
Illustrating the differences between urgent interventions and interventions performed to manage chronic conditions the authors present the chapters in a consistent template for ease of use covering; background, indications, evidence review, device description, procedural techniques, follow-up care, and complications. Shows the differences between interventions performed to manage chronic conditions and interventions that are truly urgent Chapters follow a consistent structure from background through indications, evidence review, device description, procedural techniques to follow-up care and complications More than 40 high definition videos, hosted on companion website www.wiley.com/go/kipshidze/interventionaltherapies, complete with tips and tricks, provide a visual learning tool
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products—we can't livewithout them. Can the environment survive with them? Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) areincreasingly being recognized as micropollutants. In this context,pharmaceutical products encompass a diverse range of drugs used totreat various illnesses, and personal care products includeeveryday items such as soaps, fragrances, cleaning agents,disinfectants, and similar products. Written for professionals fromdifferent backgrounds, Pharma-Ecology bridges the knowledgeand language gap and critically examines the issue of PPCPmicropollutants and how to best minimize their impact on theenvironment. Organized systematically, it: Presents a range of pharmaceutical compounds categorized bymode of action and common usage, displaying the volumes (or numberof prescriptions) that are dispersed Discusses the detection of PPCPs in the environment usinginstrumentation and bioassay techniques, including microarrays Covers the occurrences of PPCPs in aquatic systems, sediments,soil, and aerial environments Considers the persistence and degradation of PPCPs in theenvironment, and links pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics with thekinetics of PPCPs in the environment Explores engineering and treatment techniques that couldminimize the impact of PPCPs in the environment Includes numerous tables and figures that illustrateinformation This is an enlightening reference for engineers, toxicologists,ecologists, micro-biologists, and chemists involved in pollutionand environmental analysis; policy-makers; professionals in federaland state regulatory agencies; and pharmaceutical professionals. Itis also an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate studentsin related fields.
