Energy Relations and Policy Making in Asia
This volume goes beyond a conventional analysis of Asia’s energy relationships and explores the premise that energy relations in Asia in the 21st century should reinforce mutual interdependence. Conventional analyses of international energy relations stress the asymmetric nature of the risks and costs of disruptions to energy flows. Energy suppliers (net exporters) are concerned with the cost…

Energy Policy Making in the EU Building the Agenda
The book adopts an innovative analytical approach to agenda setting by not only presenting successful cases in which energy issues were addressed by means of public policy, but by also analyzing failed attempts to make issues part of the European policy agenda. Another outstanding feature of the book is its use of the latest empirical data on a broad range of energy issues. When are energy i…

Orifice Plates and Venturi Tubes
This book gives the background to differential-pressure flow measurement and goes through the requirements explaining the reason for them. For those who want to use an orifice plate or a Venturi tube the standard ISO 5167 and its associated Technical Reports give the instructions required. However, they rarely tell the users why they should follow certain instructions. This book helps users o…

Organometallics and Related Molecules for Energy Conversion
This book presents a critical perspective of the applications of organometallic compounds (including those with metal or metalloid elements) and other related metal complexes as versatile functional materials in the transformation of light into electricity (solar energy conversion) and electricity into light (light generation in light emitting diode), in the reduction of carbon dioxide to usefu…

Stochastic Dynamics and Irreversibility
Erratic or irregular movements, which we call unpredictable or random, occur spontaneously and are essential part of microscopic and macroscopic worlds. When superimposed to the predictable movements, they make up the random fluctuations sometimes called noise. Heat and temperature are macroscopic manifestations of these fluctuations at the microscopic level, and statistical physics constit…

Stochastic Dominance
Concepts similar to stochastic dominance have been known for many years, but the three papers published by Hadar and Russell and Hanoch and Levy in 1969 and by Rothschild and Stiglitz in 19701 paved the way for a new paradigm called stochastic dominance (SD), with hundreds of studies following these three studies. While Hanoch and Levy and Hadar and Russell developed First and Second degree…

Stochastic Control Theory
The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to stochastic controls theory, via the method of dynamic programming. The dynamic programming principle, originated by R. Bellman in 1950s, is known as the two stage optimization procedure. When we control the behavior of a stochastic dynamical system in order to optimize some payoff or cost function, which depends on the control inputs…
