Kamphof offers an illuminating depiction of the technological mediation of morality. Her case serves as the basis for a plea for modesty up and against the somewhat heroic conceptualizations of techno-moral change to date-less logos, less autos, more practice, more relationality. Rather than a displacement of these conceptualizations, I question whether Kamphof's art of living offers only a dif...

The objective of this study is to develop a wind farm placement and investment methodology based on linear optimization procedure. This problem has major significance for the success projects renewable energy such as power. In study, mesoscale approach adopted whereby location investigated in comparison with microscale where each individual turbine optimized. Specifical focuses by economical co...

An application of so-called perception-based logical deduction in the modeling of an economic analysis given in natural language is presented. Fuzzy IF-THEN rules and theory of evaluating linguistic expressions are used, and possibilities of automated reasoning are outlined.

This thesis consists of uncertainty and techno-economic studies of two different biofuels production pathways (catalytic pyrolysis and gasification). The objective of this paper is to obtain a side-by-side techno-economic comparison of in situ and ex situ catalytic pyrolysis, and gasification state-of-technology and target scenarios that addresses both sensitivity and uncertainty analysis in th...

Research has shown that techno-entrepreneurship is economically significant. Therefore, it is suggested that teaching techno-entrepreneurship may be important because such programmes would prepare current and future generations of learners to recognise and act on high-technology opportunities. Education in technoentrepreneurship may increase the knowledge of how to start one’s own enterprise an...

Although information and communication technologies is beneficial for improving employee performance, frequently learning new technologies or extensively using technologies to work in non-working hours may lead to an increase of employee’s techno-invasion. However, little is known whether techno-invasion, a technostressor, causes employee job anxiety. Also, it remains unclear “when” techno-inva...

Saturation mutagenesis is a powerful technique for engineering proteins, metabolic pathways and genomes. In spite of its numerous applications, creating high-quality saturation mutagenesis libraries remains a challenge, as various experimental parameters influence in a complex manner the resulting diversity. We explore from the economical perspective various aspects of saturation mutagenesis li...

Households present a significant contribution in the national energy consumption, and photovoltaics (PV) has become an economically feasible technology that can play important role to lower this consumption associated emissions. Nevertheless, there is still gap between too in-depth technical models for detailed studies what urban planners need, which are simpler, yet reliable techno-economical ...
