The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formic acid or formate is a promising process for addressing technological challenges of transporting and storing energy produced by intermittent renewable energy sources.
Security and the logistical challenge of transporting 450,000 expected World Cup visitors are now more urgent — and more publicized — concerns than the soccer itself.
These daunting statistics are largely due to the logistical challenge of transporting vaccines and other biomolecules used in diagnostics and therapy, which conventionally require a "cold chain" of refrigeration from the time of synthesis to the time of administration.
Taken by surprise by the spiraling conflict in Libya, international aid workers have not caught up with the enormous logistical challenge of transporting the tens of thousands of migrant workers who are leaving Libya, most of whom have no transit visas and no money to pay for plane tickets.
For integrated monitoring novel sampling tools are required to extract large volumes of water avoiding the logistic challenge of transporting them to the laboratory.
This market space is riven with debates over multi-rate bitstreams (support for different data speeds), the need to support old-fashioned POTS (plain old telephone service) voice lines for its Old World cohorts, and the challenge of transporting high-speed bandwidths over poorly, and chaotically, wired consumer networks.
The logistical challenge of transporting goods in and out of the Nabalus and the West Bank makes simple tasks, such as ordering supplies, a complex endeavor.
Plants in standing water require the same below-ground adaptations for dealing with oxygen deprivation (e.g. aerenchyma formation in roots) as all wetland species growing in permanently anoxic soils, but face the additional challenge of transporting oxygen from the atmosphere to the below-ground tissue through the water, via the shoot aerenchyma.
The challenge of transporting elderly or disabled people has been widely studied; it is usually modeled as a dial-a-ride-problem (DARP), as introduced in the early 1970s by Wilson and Colvin (1977), Wilson and Weissberg (1976), Wilson, Sussman, Wong, and Higonnet (1971).
