New Technologies

from this angle difficult and expensive. • New wireless and solar technologies are more cost-effective and durable than ever. Solar energy has become much cheaper in recent years (over 5X cost reduction over the last 10 years), and nanotechnologies are poised to reduce prices further (by an additional 10X), while increasing durability.3 Wireless communication platforms are cheap and low-power. All needed mechanisms are now mature, and ready for new applications. Solar cells for…

expensive. It is possible that the rise of peer-to-peer technologies may have begun the process of making the cost of bandwidth manageable. Although a vast amount of information, imagery, and commentary (i.e. "content") has been made available, it is often difficult to determine the authenticity and reliability of information contained in web pages (in many cases, self-published). The invention of the Internet has also allowed breaking news stories to reach around the globe within…

in 2011 A new processor generation every two years A worldwide silicon fab network, with five fabs for 22nm production completed in 2012 Revolutionary technologies on a chip, like strained silicon and hafnium-based gate-last high-k metal gate (HKMG) A highly coordinated internal R&D manufacturing pipeline for introduction of new technologies. Intel has many more radical innovations in its research pipeline. What Moore’s Law means to you Moore’s Law is the foundation for exciting new…

Brazilian agribusiness.

presents a reflection on issues related to the education of workers in the light of new technologies. It is a contribution to the enl~rgement of educational possibilities for a specific public: those who do not have a systematic approach to new technologies, for example, bricklayers. It proposes that it is important to develop research which emphasises the relationship between work, education and technology with regard to new perspectives of professional training. 1. Introdução No…

does not encompass blogging The advance of communication technologies during the last decade has led to a new mediasphere dimension, characterized by interactive technologies which transformed news’ production and consumption. This “interactive phase of modernity” (Gulvady, 2009) allowed blogging to gain relevance as news’ source among the public. Mainly after September 11, blogs have been showing an increasing tendency to comment on news, criticize the media and to focus on political…

resources, with 10% of all energy from traditional biomass, mainly used forheating, and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[2] The share of renewables in electricity generation is around 19%, with 16% of electricity coming from hydroelectricity and 3% from new renewables.[2] The use of wind power is increasing at an annual rate of 20%, with a worldwide…

need to increasingly strike new attitudes related to environmental problems. These new attitudes include a continuous changing process on the manner to manage their business in the organizations. Thus, some industrial companies are developing new ways to deal with the environmental problems through auto-regulation mechanisms or proactive environmental management. Key words: Auto-regulation, proactive company, business strategy and environment, environmental technologies, environmental…
