'Peak Oil' As Classical Economic Process

François Meynard

Forecasts about 'peak oil', the limits of oil production, are the subject of controversies. 'Peak oil' forecasts are based on extrapolations of a priori chosen mathematical models fitted to field data. Scientifically that is not very sound. To clarify this ...

Nanomaterials for renewable energy production and storage

Michael Graetzel, Chen Li

Over the past decades, there have been many projections on the future depletion of the fossil fuel reserves on earth as well as the rapid increase in green-house gas emissions. There is clearly an urgent need for the development of renewable energy technol ...

Life Cycle Analysis and Thermo-Environomic Optimization of Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Plants

Aurélie Kuenlin

Confronted to resources depletion and the global warming, the humanity has to reduce its fossil fuels dependence. The renewable energy is an interesting option to reach this aim. The most powerful one is the solar energy since in few hours, the Earth recei ...

Neurochemical changes in the developing rat hippocampus during prolonged hypoglycemia

Rolf Gruetter, Ramachandra Rao

Hypoglycemia is common during development and is associated with the risk of neurodevelopmental deficits in human infants. The effects of hypoglycemia on the developing hippocampus are poorly understood. The sequential changes in energy substrates, amino a ...

Evidence for core-hole-mediated inelastic x-ray scattering from metallic Fe1.087Te

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Marco Grioni, Thorsten Schmitt, Marco Guarise, Ping-Hui Lin, Dirk Van der Marel

We present a detailed analysis of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering from Fe1.087Te with unprecedented energy resolution. In contrast to the sharp peaks typically seen in insulating systems at the transition-metal L-3 edge, we observe spectra which show d ...
