Future World

World Capacity, Production, and Consumption. Current and future world capacity, based on aimounced new plants and expansions, and 1987 production and consumption data are shown in Table 7 (38). Consumption of acetone is expected to grow at a rate of about 2% aimually until...

We are in a changing world. It has taken two thousand years for the population of the world to grow from 250 million to the near 6 billion people today. But in the next fifty years world population is projected to grow to about 10 billion people.1 How will future world needs be met ... 

The point is that there are no technical nuclear problems without rational solutions. The key problems are public misconceptions and the resulting institutional impediments which can impact on the potential of nuclear energy to meet future world needs. 

The one available means to significantly meet future world energy needs, while avoiding the fossil fuel problems, is to expand the use of nuclear energy. The key... 

These men in the Statler bar — their views were exceptional, maybe. But how many normal voices were heard in Washington How many others, fearing the evil prospect, would greet the future world with solutions that stood upon the worst features of an equally evil past Fear may come to the mind long before physical danger. Footsteps may march up and down the hallway time and again before the knock comes on the door. Then a sudden terror, as if your mind, loosely planted, has been uprooted before it can reach down to the soil or up to the sunlight... . ... 

The Facility (Fig. 2) has been established to support the development of traceable chemical measurements by UK analytical laboratories, in particular to meet the requirements of ISO 17025. It will also link UK laboratories into the national and international chemical measurement systems to ensure the future world-wide acceptance of their data. An important role is to provide a single point of focus for a wide range of chemical measurement and calibration services provided by LGC as part of its delivery of VAM. 

Thus, the D-T-Li fuel cycle is, in spite of its drawbacks, the most likely one to be used in the first fusion reactors. It fulfills the requirement of being an inexhaustible energy source since the available lithium resources which represent the limiting factor should be sufficient to meet the future world energy demands for thousands of years5). 

The electric energy requirement for a future world hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle fleet that could replace the conventional vehicle fleet by 2050 has been estimated (Kruger, 2001, 2005). The parameters of the hydrogen vehicle fleet (HFleet) electric energy demand model, the extrapolated input values for 2010 (the date when industrial production is likely to start), and the historical mean annual growth rates are summarised in Table 2 together with current forecast values.

A clear indication of this development is found in the current market projections of future world uranium requirements, as, e.g., stated by the US De-... 

Coal particularly is thought to play a major role in future world energy supplies and possibly also as a feedstock supplier for the chemical industry [54]. 

In addition to these, in the NBS fracture study, a future world. World IV, was defined, in which "best practice" would have been improved and hence give the possibility of reducing the unavoidable costs. This situation is depicted in Figure 1.

The relationship between environmental temperature and plant composition may account for the generally low feeding value of tropical grasses (20). The problem of tropical forages is one of great importance to future world food supplies and is urgently in need of further research. 

This future world depended so much on their clever mini-machines. That had to be a... 

On the basis of the possibilities for nanotechnology presented in the four future worlds, the following are some of the most important medical countermeasures ... 

If we are to use impersonal principles to guide and evaluate choices about genetic interventions that affect future generations, then there are still many issues to be addressed. Are impersonal harms just as bad as person-affecting harms What methodology should we use to evaluate the two hypothetical future worlds Should impersonal principles only apply when the nonidentity problem arises ...
