Water Poverty The Next “Oil” Crisis

Water Poverty The Next “Oil” Crisis

A water crisis on our immediate horizon is destined to hurt even kill millions of children and the window of opportunity to do something about it is rapidly closing. There is however a glimmer of hope that could turn into rays of sunshine. Water is a commodity and we have just come through some painful times dealing with the shortage of another commodity—energy. For those who lived through the energy crisis this book offers a brief trip down memory lane. | Water Poverty The Next “Oil” Crisis

Handbook of Energy Engineering

Handbook of Energy Engineering

With new chapters on electrical system optimization and ISO 50001 this edition also covers the latest updates to codes and standards in the energy industry. Also included are chapters on energy economic analysis energy auditing waste heat recovery utility system optimization HVAC cogeneration control systems energy management compressed air system optimization and financing energy projects. Additional topics include emerging technologies such as oxy-fuel combustion high efficiency burners enhanced heat exchangers and ceramic membranes for heat recovery as well as information on how to do an energy analysis of any system; electrical system optimization; state-of-the-art lighting and lighting controls. This reference will guide you step by step in applying the principles of energy engineering and management to the design of electrical HVAC utility process and building systems for both new design and retrofit projects. The text is thoroughly illustrated with tables graphs diagrams and sample problems. | Handbook of Energy Engineering

Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

This book demystifies how Kubernetes networking actually works by walking through a simple but practical simulation that mirrors reality as closely as possible while skipping the gory details. Widespread adoption of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes have spawned a whole field of industry products startups and academic research in the field of container networking typically termed as cloud-native networking. But what is cloud-native networking? What are the various pieces and how do they fit together? Over recent years most applications have been deployed on cloud infrastructure. Kubernetes has been the widely adopted orchestrator for these clouds. Application developers in most cases are unaware of the underlying plumbing in Kubernetes that holds their applications running as containers. Networking is an integral part of any Kubernetes environment and efficiently drives the various abstractions provided by it. Needless to say it greatly effects the performance of applications which in general have a humongous amount of inter-microservice communication. The impact is even more profound in multiple cloud environments. | Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

Cyber Resilience

Cyber Resilience

Modern cyber systems acquire more emergent system properties as far as their complexity increases: cyber resilience controllability self-organization proactive cyber security and adaptability. Each of the listed properties is the subject of the cybernetics research and each subsequent feature makes sense only if there is a previous one. Cyber resilience is the most important feature of any cyber system especially during the transition to the sixth technological stage and related Industry 4. 0 technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cloud and foggy computing 5G + IoT/IIoT Big Data and ETL Q-computing Blockchain VR/AR etc. We should even consider the cyber resilience as a primary one because the mentioned systems cannot exist without it. Indeed without the sustainable formation made of the interconnected components of the critical information infrastructure it does not make sense to discuss the existence of 4. 0 Industry cyber-systems. In case when the cyber security of these systems is mainly focused on the assessment of the incidents' probability and prevention of possible security threats the cyber resilience is mainly aimed at preserving the targeted behavior and cyber systems' performance under the conditions of known (about 45 %) as well as unknown (the remaining 55 %) cyber attacks. This monograph shows that modern Industry 4. 0. Cyber systems do not have the required cyber resilience for targeted performance under heterogeneous mass intruder cyber-attacks. The main reasons include a high cyber system structural and functional complexity a potential danger of existing vulnerabilities and “sleep” hardware and software tabs as well as an inadequate efficiency of modern models methods and tools to ensure cyber security reliability response and recovery.
