    No Broken Link : The Vulnerability of Telecommunication Infrastructure to Natural Hazards (2019)

    Series Statement: Background paper for Lifelines
    Content: The global economy is increasingly digital. The internet and other information and communicationtechnologies (ICTs) are changing the way individuals, businesses and governments operate. Theirresilience to natural disasters, and their ability to recover in the aftermath, is thus critical to the resilience of the economy. This chapter discusses the impact of climate events on various types of digital infrastructure. It highlights key considerations for governments and digital infrastructure owners to make their infrastructure more resilient, while maintaining affordability of services. We find that digital infrastructure is vulnerable to various climate risks, but that technology choices and network design can improve redundancy and resilience of networks, by design. Certain infrastructures warrant greater ex ante investment in their resilience considering their criticality in the broadband value chain (submarine cables or landing stations) while others could follow repair and recovery options (mobile network antennas, poles, and towers). We conclude with recommendations for the public and private sectors, noting that governments and sectorregulators can improve network resilience, and increase coordination given the distributedownership and governance models in the industry

    Modulating Gene Expression : Abridging the RNAi and CRISPR-Cas9 Technologies (2019)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : IntechOpen
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1877740160
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource (134 p.)
    ISBN: 9781838806972 , 9781838806965 , 9781838806989
    Content: RNA interference (RNAi) is a widely used technology for gene silencing and has become a key tool in a myriad of research and lead discoveries. In recent years, the mechanism of RNAi agents has been well investigated, and the technique has been optimized for better effectiveness and safety. On the other hand, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated Cas9/gRNA system is a recent, novel, targeted genome-editing technique derived from the bacterial immune system. Recent advances in gene-editing research and technologies have enabled the CRISPR Cas9 system to become a popular tool for sequence-specific gene editing to correct and modify eukaryotic systems. In this book, we will focus on the mechanisms, applications, regulations (their pros and cons), and various ways in which RNAi-based methods and CRIPSR-Cas9 technology have stimulated the modulation of gene expression, thereby making them a promising therapeutic tool to treat and prevent complex diseases and disorders

    Engineered Fabrics (2019)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : IntechOpen
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1877744506
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource (118 p.)
    ISBN: 9781789850086 , 9781789850079 , 9781839620201
    Content: Engineered fabrics have gained special attention from all quarters due to their adaptability for unconventional applications. Engineered fabrics are used in a range of technical products such as seatbelt fabrics, automotive textiles, geotextiles, and other industrial textiles. This book provides a comprehensive review and case studies of engineered fabrics used in civil engineering as geotextiles. Engineered fabrics cover a huge area from textiles used for deep-sea applications to reinforcing materials for lightweight composite materials used to construct various aircraft panels. This book gives an insight into soil conservation using engineered fabrics along with woven denim fabrics with dual core-spun yarns. The editor has included one introductory chapter on engineered fabrics that covers all aspects of fabric engineering required to cater for the needs of technical and industrial textiles

    Corrosion Inhibitors (2019)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : IntechOpen
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1877740543
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource (204 p.)
    ISBN: 9781789847154 , 9781789847147 , 9781789855692
    Content: This book aims to provide readers with the latest and relevant trends in corrosion. Use of inhibitors is one of the most common, cheap, and globally followed methods for the protection of metals from aggressive solutions. The information contained in this book covers different corrosion inhibitors for different corrosive environments with sufficient experimental data, surface studies, and theoretical studies. These studies altogether will give readers a good view of the basic and advanced knowledge of corrosion inhibitors and will be of interest to students, academicians, and industrialists

    How Do Cultural Differences Affect Trade Reciprocity between Developed and Developing Countries? (2019)
    World Bank, Washington, DC
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1759606987
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Research and Policy Briefs,No. 25
    Content: Cultural distance in this Brief refers to the gap between development narratives promoted from the developed world—from experts, policymakers, and international organizations—versus political-economy practices in the developing world. The cultural distance analyzed here focuses on paternalistic factors in advanced countries contributing to trade barriers facing developing countries. Gradual moves toward reciprocal rather than discriminatory preferential access, as well as export diversification, can benefit the developing world
