[en] This publication is part 3 of book 2 of the 32nd science week of the Supreme Council of Sciences, held in Damascus (Syria) from 7-13 Nov. 1992. This part contains papers presented at this meeting on basic sciences: physics and mathematics

[en] Separate abstracts were prepared for 3 papers of these proceedings. The remaining papers dealing with safety, space, electronics, weaponry or telecommunications were considered outside the scope of INIS

[en] A primary objective of the Operations, Applications, and Components (OAC) Committee of the ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Division is to disseminate information and advance current theories and practices in pressure vessels, steam generators, heat exchangers, piping and pipe supports, pump and valves, and other components. The topics included in this volume are: (1) integrity of structures and fluid systems; (2) pipe supports, restraints, and other pressure piping components; (3) hazardous release protection; and (4) pumps and valves. Separate abstracts were prepared for most of the papers in this volume

[en] The book is consists of collection of reports and recast articles from Republic seminar 'Sustainable development of Kazakstan: problems and perspectives' (Almaty, March 12-15, 1996) organised by Kazakstan Academy of Social Sciences, Institute of Philosophy and Institute for Kazakstan development by financial support of European Union TACIS Programme). Economic, social, environmental, political, cultural and spiritual problems are analyzed for stability and sustainable development of the country, scientific and practical recommendation are given for improvement of internal and foreign policy of Republic Kazakstan. The book is intended for administration of state and non-governmental organizations, scientists, lecturers, graduates and students of Republic's higher education institutions, and the broad reading public as well.

[en] Hardly any other problem is as much at the centre of technical and public discussions as the safeguarding of energy supply. These partly very controversial discussions start both from marginal conditions like population growth, rising standard of living in threshold countries and the limitation of resources, as well as from questions of the pollution of the biosphere due to human activities, the tolerable risk of a technology, or individual decisions to reduce consumption. All these are questions whose technological dimension makes up only a part of the overall problem complex as they relate, besides politics, ethics and economics, to a number of other fields. Thus, the study of energy systems constitutes a major challenge to science and has interdisciplinary implications.- This volume of 61 short contributions dealing directly or more remotely with the complex of subjects mentioned reflects its bandwidth in a most interesting and highly readable way. Furthermore, it conveys impressive insight into its fascination, thereby motivating students and junior scientists to tackle these tasks in the future. (orig./HP)

[en] This VDI-report 1029 contains the manuscripts of 45 lectures which have been held on the expert meeting ''Advanced energy conversion and application''. The following 3 main subjects have been dealt with: I electric power stations and heating and power stations, II industrial energy technology, III energy supply of buildings. For each of the 45 manuscripts, a separated assessment with regard to the content has been elaborated. (HW)

[en] The three papers of this session discuss aspects such as the critical approach taken by the general population towards existing or emerging complex technologies, awareness of global effects to be taken into account when assessing the risks of technologies, future developments and the chances and conflicts these may bear, and an outlook on the conditions in the energy sector by the year 2020.

[en] The three primary objectives of the conference, which was organized by the UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment (UCCEE) in conjunction with the Environment Department of the World Bank, at Goa in India from May 4 to 6, 1998, were: 1) to share the GHG mitigation experiences from Asian developing countries; 2) to disseminate the standard methodological approach for mitigation analysis developed by UNEP and its applications in different countries; and 3) assess the role and efficacy of financial mechanisms and to, specifically, seek feedback on the Prototype Carbon Fund proposed by the World Bank. Follwing these objectives, the workshop presentations and discussions were structured in three parts. In the first part, participants from eleven Asian developing countries made presentations that were followed by discussions. The second part included the presentations by the experts from UCCEE, UNFCCC and other invited experts who presented the mitigation methodology and the issues and experiences relating to various co-operative implementation mechanisms. The third part included the presentations by the World Bank representatives on the Prototype Carbon Fund and the discussions on financial mechanisms. (EG)
