Springer Verlag, Singapore Advances in Energy and Combustion: Safety and
Book SynopsisThis book provides state-of-the-art advances in several areas of importance in energy, combustion, power, propulsion, environment using fossil fuels and alternative fuels, and biofuels production and utilization. Availability of clean and sustainable energy is of greater importance now than ever before in all sectors of energy, power, mobility and propulsion. Written by internationally renowned experts, the latest fundamental and applied research innovations on cleaner energy production as well as utilization for a wide range of devices extending from micro scale energy conversion to hypersonic propulsion using hydrocarbon fuels are provided. The tailored technical tracks and contributions from the world renowned technical experts are portrayed in the respective field to highlight different but complementary views on fuels, combustion, power and propulsion and air toxins with special focus on current and future R&D needs and activities. The energy and environment sustainability require a multi-pronged approach involving development and utilization of new and renewable fuels, design of fuel-flexible combustion systems that can be easily operated with the new fuels, and develop novel and environmentally friendly technologies for improved utilization of all kinds of gas, liquid and solid fuels. This volume is a useful book for practicing engineers, research engineers and managers in industry and research labs, academic institutions, graduate students, and final year undergraduate students in Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace, Energy and Environmental Engineering.Table of ContentsInjector Dynamics and Pressure Gain in Rotating Detonation Engines.- Low Emissions Propulsion Engine Characterization Process.- Aerodynamic and Aero-Acoustic Performance of an Adjustable Pitch Axial Flow Fan.- Proposed Thrust Profile Design of Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) for Aerospace Applications.- The Formation of PAH Compounds from the Combustion of Biofuels.- Review of Biomass Energy Resources with Livestock Manure.- Higher Alcohols as Diesel Engine Fuel.- Photocatalytic Hydrogen from Water over Semiconductors.- Evaluation of Hazard Correlations for Hydrogen Rich Fuels using Stretched Transient Flames.- Experimental Investigation of Turbulent Flow/Flame Structure of Double Swirler Burner.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Safety and Resilience of Higher Educational
Book SynopsisThe world has spent the majority of 2020 enduring an unpreceded crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of this crisis has been enormous, and the situation has yet to be resolved. It is still difficult to anticipate when the pandemic will end and how our lives will have changed after the crisis.Higher educational institutions (HEIs) have also had to undergo tremendous transformation, in particular, changing a conventional educational, teaching, and learning system to a digital and online mode and cancelling or postponing important events such as graduation and entrance ceremonies and entrance examinations. In addition, a number of HEIs have been facing financial constraints due to reduced enrolment, particularly from overseas. Students have missed opportunities to meet their family and friends, causing profound psychosocial impact and stress for all concerned.Simultaneously, however, the situation has given HEIs a good opportunity to consider their disaster preparedness, response, and recovery capacity on campus. Some surveys have highlighted a lack of preparedness for pandemic and other hazardous risks beyond natural hazards. Safety issues are a top priority at HEIs because they bring together a number of students, faculty, and staff.This book covers the experiences and lessons learned from HEIs in preparedness, response, and recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic to prepare for such calamities beyond natural disasters in the future. The book consists of 15 chapters divided into three major sections. They highlight the importance of HEIs’ governance issues in disaster risk management, examine the challenges that HEIs have faced during the pandemic and the implementation of new teaching and learning methodologies, and provide innovative responses and preparedness by HEIs based on science and technology, respectively.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Overview and Introduction to the Role of Higher Educational Institution in Disaster Risk Management Chapter 2: Post-pandemic Management in Higher Educational Institutions Chapter 3: New Perspectives of Campus Safety Initiatives in Universities Chapter 4: Regional Overview of Lessons from the Asia-Pacific Regions Chapter 5: Regional Overview of Lessons from Africa: the Impact on the Awareness of the Sector’s Resilience Chapter 6: Disaster Risk Governance in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Central America: the Case of Guatemala Chapter 7: Looking Ahead While Leaving No One Behind: Resourcefulness and Resiliency among North American Universities Chapter 8: University Networking in Improvising Academic Resilience to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Experiences from Bangladesh Chapter 9: New Role of Universities: Experiences from Taiwan Chapter 10: Vigorous, Vital, Vulnerable: Universities and COVID-19, Aotearoa New Zealand Chapter 11: Applying New Technologies and Innovation in Taiwan Chapter 12: Applying New Technologies and Innovation in Hong Kong: Teaching Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management (Health-EDRM) Using Massive Open Online Course to Enhance Resilience in Higher Educational Institutions Chapter 13: Scope of Civil Society and University Partnership in Enhancing Resilience Chapter 14: Private Sector and Higher Education Institution Partnerships to Enhance Resilience in the Philippines: The Experience of the National Resilience Council Chapter 15: Impacts, opportunities and potentials in HEIs: During and Post Pandemic Perspectives
