GC: n CT: There is no shortage of information – and misinformation – in the media about energy use, renewables and the need to curtail (or eliminate) the use of hydrocarbons. While it is true that mankind needs to reduce its dependence on hydrocarbons, because of their non-renewable nature, there

GC: n CT: Hydrocracking is an important source of diesel and jet fuel. A hydrocracking unit, or hydrocracker, takes gas oil, which is heavier and has a higher boiling range than distillate fuel oil, and cracks the heavy molecules into distillate and gasoline in the presence of hydrogen and a

GC: n CT: Hydroelectric power is produced as water passes through a dam, and into a river below. The more water that passes through a dam, the more energy is produced. Once a dam is built, an artificial man-made lake is created behind the dam. Electricity is produced by a

GC: n CT: Hydroelectric power plants use the potential energy of water stored in a reservoir to operate turbines. The turbines are connected to large generators, and can operate on varying volumes of water to adapt to changing demand for electricity. Hydroelectric power plant capacity is related to the height

GC: n CT: Hydrogen is the simplest element. An atom of hydrogen consists of only one proton and one electron. It’s also the most plentiful element in the universe. Despite its simplicity and abundance, hydrogen doesn’t occur naturally as a gas on the Earth – it’s always combined with other

GC: n CT: Over the last ten years, the Clean Hydrogen Partnership has sought ways to overcome the challenges to the uptake of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). It has funded a series of flagship car and refuelling infrastructure projects to demonstrate the hydrogen fuel cell technology’s reliability and financial

GC: nf CT: Hydrogenases are enzymes that catalyse the reversible oxidation of H2 to protons at close to the thermodynamic potential. The reaction takes place at a bimetallic active site consisting of Fe atoms (‘(FeFe)-hydrogenases’) or one Ni and one Fe atom (‘(NiFe)-hydrogenases’), coordinated by biologically unusual CO and CN&ndash

GC: n CT: Hydropower potential (theoretical possitibility for electricity generation). Hydropower, generating electricity through turbines, represents a clean and renewable energy source, but not without problems. Dams and reservoirs disrupt the natural flow, and may increase siltation and evaporation, in addition to severe impacts for wildlife, for instance migrating fish.

GC: n CT: Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), the prior art, is a subset of what is conceived as hydrothermal energy. Whereas OTEC (also known as hydrothermal power generation), focuses on electrical power generation from ocean temperature difference, hydrothermal energy offers a more comprehensive utilization of the natural water resources.

GC: n CT: Hypertext, also called Hyperlinking, the linking of related pieces of information by electronic connections in order to allow a user easy access between them. Hypertext is a feature of some computer programs that allow the user of electronic media to select a word from text and receive additional information

GC: n CT: Industrial Ecology is an emerging interdisciplinary field combining natural, technical and social sciences in a systems view at scale levels from the global to the local. Its core concept is the analogy between processes in nature (biosphere) and processes in society (techno-sphere). Evolution has resulted in a

GC: n CT: Landfills are classified according to whether they can accept hazardous, non-hazardous or inert waste. This classification is integral to each landfill’s PPC permit/waste management licence. Therefore, in order to prevent the co-disposal of waste (banned since July 2004) and to comply with the waste licence as issued

GC: n CT: How the inference engine works. In simple rule-based systems, there are two kinds of inference, forward chaining and backward chaining. Forward chaining: data gets put into working memory. This triggers rules whose conditions match the new data. These rules then perform their actions. The actions may add

GC: n CT: IS (information system) is the collection of technical and human resources that provide the storage, computing, distribution, and communication for the information required by all or some part of an enterprise. A special form of IS is a management information system (MIS), which provides information for managing

GC: n CT: According to the National Association of Home Builders, fireplaces rank among the top three features desired by new homebuyers. Unfortunately, fireplaces are also major air gaps—they can send up to 8 percent of valuable furnace-heated air flying out the chimney, making them really fun to look at

GC: n CT: An intelligent agent is a software that assists people and act on their behalf. Intelligent agents work by allowing people to delegate work that they could have done, to the agent software. Agents can perform repetitive tasks, remember things you fo rgot, intelligently summarize complex data, learn

GC: n CT: An intelligent database is a full-text database with artificial intelligence (AI) components that interact with users to ensure that users are supplied all relevant information. The AI portion is most often seen during searches providing intellectual operations and knowledge representations that are usually based on the connectionist

GC: n CT: Intelligent energy management system – techniques and methods. Our environment is an asset to be managed carefully and is not an expendable resource to be taken for granted. The main original contribution of this thesis is in formulating intelligent techniques and simulating case studies to demonstrate the

GC: n CT: Intelligent Energy Saving System is a control system used to control a particular environment in other to optimize the energy. It can be used to control the lighting or air conditioning of an area. An example is the library which can be well illuminated with many lamps.

GC: n CT: To understand the notion of intelligent interfaces, we can start by a discussion of what cannot be seen as a definition of intelligent interfaces. Firstly, we can note two things: An “intelligent system” does not necessarily have an intelligent interface, and neither is a well-designed interface necessarily
