Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.

Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Measurement
A systematic treatment of dynamic decision making and performance measurementModern business environments are dynamic.Yet, the models used to make decisions and quantify success within them are stuck in the past.In a world where demands, resources, and technology are interconnected and evolving, measures of efficiency need to reflect that environment. In Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Measurement, Elvira Silva, Spiro E.Stefanou, and Alfons Oude Lansink look at the business process from a dynamic perspective.Their systematic study covers dynamic production environments where current production decisions impact future production possibilities.By considering practical factors like adjustments over time, this book offers an important lens for contemporary microeconomic analysis.Silva, Stefanou, and Lansink develop the analytical foundations of dynamic production technology in both primal and dual representations, with an emphasis on directional distance functions.They cover concepts measuring the production structure (economies of scale, economies of scope, capacity utilization) and performance (allocative, scale and technical inefficiency, productivity) in a methodological and comprehensive way. Through a unified approach, Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Measurement offers a guide to how firms maximize potential in changing environments and an invaluable contribution to applied microeconomics.

Productivity Machines : German Appropriations of American Technology from Mass Production to Computer Automation
How productivity culture and technology became emblematic of the American economic system in pre- and postwar Germany. The concept of productivity originated in a statistical measure of output per worker or per work-hour, calculated by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.A broader productivity culture emerged in 1920s America, as Henry Ford and others linked methods of mass production and consumption to high wages and low prices.These ideas were studied eagerly by a Germany in search of economic recovery after World War I, and, decades later, the Marshall Plan promoted productivity in its efforts to help post-World War II Europe rebuild.In Productivity Machines, Corinna Schlombs examines the transatlantic history of productivity technology and culture in the two decades before and after World War II.She argues for the interpretive flexibility of productivity: different groups viewed productivity differently at different times.Although it began as an objective measure, productivity came to be emblematic of the American economic system; post-World War II West Germany, however, adapted these ideas to its own political and economic values.Schlombs explains that West German unionists cast a doubtful eye on productivity's embrace of plant-level collective bargaining; unions fought for codetermination-the right to participate in corporate decisions.After describing German responses to US productivity, Schlombs offers an in-depth look at labor relations in one American company in Germany-that icon of corporate America, IBM.Finally, Schlombs considers the emergence of computer technology-seen by some as a new symbol of productivity but by others as the means to automate workers out of their jobs.

What is the difference between infrared heaters and infrared heat lamps (infrared radiators)?
Infrared heaters are designed to heat a room or space by emitting infrared radiation that warms objects and people directly, similar to the sun's rays. They are typically used for whole-room heating and are more energy-efficient than traditional heaters. Infrared heat lamps, on the other hand, are focused on providing localized heat to specific areas or objects, such as in outdoor spaces, bathrooms, or for therapeutic purposes. They emit infrared radiation in a more concentrated manner and are often used for spot heating rather than whole-room heating.
-
Is infrared radiation harmful?
Infrared radiation is generally not harmful to humans in small doses. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is commonly used in various applications such as heating, cooking, and communication. However, prolonged exposure to high levels of infrared radiation can potentially cause skin burns or eye damage. It is important to use protective measures, such as wearing appropriate clothing or using shielding, when working with sources of intense infrared radiation.
-
Is infrared radiation dangerous?
Infrared radiation is generally not considered dangerous to humans in normal everyday exposure. It is a form of non-ionizing radiation, which means it does not have enough energy to cause damage to cells or DNA. However, prolonged and intense exposure to infrared radiation, such as from industrial sources or prolonged sun exposure, can cause skin burns and damage. It is important to use protective measures, such as sunscreen and protective clothing, when exposed to intense sources of infrared radiation.
-
Can snakes see infrared?
No, snakes cannot see infrared. While some snakes have specialized pit organs that can detect infrared radiation, they do not actually "see" it in the way that humans see visible light. Instead, these pit organs allow snakes to sense the heat given off by warm-blooded prey, helping them to locate and hunt their food. This ability to detect infrared radiation is an important adaptation for many species of snakes.

What exactly is infrared?
Infrared is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has longer wavelengths than visible light. It is not visible to the human eye, but can be felt as heat. Infrared radiation is emitted by all objects with a temperature above absolute zero, and is commonly used in technologies such as night vision goggles, remote controls, and thermal imaging cameras. Infrared radiation is also used in various scientific and industrial applications, including spectroscopy and heat therapy.

How does an infrared light barrier work as a security alarm system?
An infrared light barrier security alarm system works by using an infrared transmitter and receiver. The transmitter emits an infrared beam, and the receiver detects the beam. When an object or person interrupts the beam, the receiver triggers the alarm. This interruption of the beam serves as a detection mechanism, alerting the system to potential unauthorized entry or movement in the protected area. The system can be set up to sound an alarm, send a notification, or activate other security measures in response to the interruption of the infrared beam.
-
Underfloor heating or infrared heating?
Both underfloor heating and infrared heating have their own advantages and disadvantages. Underfloor heating provides a more consistent and even heat distribution throughout the room, while infrared heating is more energy-efficient and heats objects directly. The choice between the two would depend on factors such as the size of the room, the desired level of comfort, and energy efficiency goals. Ultimately, it is important to consider your specific needs and preferences when deciding between underfloor heating and infrared heating.

Can humans see infrared light?
No, humans cannot see infrared light. Infrared light has wavelengths longer than those of visible light, making it invisible to the human eye. However, some animals, such as snakes and certain insects, can see infrared light. Infrared light is often used in technology, such as night vision goggles and thermal imaging cameras, to detect heat and objects that are not visible to the naked eye.
