The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, as it is called, arose out of a confluence of events — more and more applications for big-scale solar projects in the California Desert, even as conservationists increasingly worried about species like the tortoise, which suffer from a range of threats, not least of them climate change.
In this chapter, we consider exergy management through four main aspects including the confluence of energy, environment, and sustainable development; application of exergy concepts and methods to industrial operations and problems; the integration of exergy analysis with industrial ecology; and finally exergy in policy development and education.
The confluence of ICT and big data infrastructure, applications, and demands from financial institutions have created many innovative financial services so far.
Studies could also investigate the cross-operability and integration (confluence) of the three emerging Web 2.0 applications (wikis, blogs and podcasts), and their respective and synergistic contributions toward the enhancement of student learning.
Following the discussion of exergy as the confluence of energy, environment, and sustainable development the application is described of exergy concepts and methods to industrial operations and their analysis, design, improvement, and optimization.
How does the confluence of autonomy, sharing, and electrification change the fuel mix in automotive applications?
High-profile launches like the Apple Watch and its hyped Health Kit are among a confluence of factors that make 2015 the year wearables and mHealth-centric applications reach significant mass.
They detail advances in machine-learning computational applications and theory-based mechanistic models in classifying and treating diseases from the confluence of these two approaches.
"It's a unique confluence of events.
It is an expensive confluence of problems.
