Fuel cells remain very attractive for both technical and aesthetical reasons. Probably nothing is more elegant and straightforward in the family of power generators. Thanks to nature, all pairs of half-cell reactions yield open-circuit voltage on the order of 1 V learning how to use this potential in a most efficient way is a task that may change the history of civilization. 

The history of shampoos is long, beginning well before the days of synthetic surfactants. The advent of synthetic surfactants greatly expanded the options for formulators and at the same time improved the aesthetics of the products. 

Overlay techniques have a long history of use in environmental planning being ideally suited for consideration of spatial aspects. They rely on a set of maps of environmental characteristics (physical, social, ecological and aesthetic) that are overlaid to produce a composite characterisation of the local environment. A modem version of the overlay method is the computer-based geographical information system (GIS). In simple terms, a GIS stores, retrieves, manipulates and displays environmental data in a spatial format. A set of maps or overlays of a given area provide different types of information and scales of resolution. The main drawbacks are the lack of appropriate data and the expense of creating a usable system.
