This book looks at how smart cities may apply the "internet of things" to the transportation environment and how this may create a complete set of new technologies and service offerings that will enable the advent of the unmanned vehicle society.
As noted above, proton energetics has a major advantage over sodium energetics because proton transfer can be chemically coupled to redox reactions, thus, enabling the advent of efficient redox-driven generators of proton potential, such as cytochrome bc1 complex [ 55], cytochrome oxidase [ 54], or the oxygen-evolving photosystem II [ 77, 78].
First, digital sensors, enabled by the advent of micro-electro-mechanical systems, are now small and ubiquitous, which enables the collection of data from subjects in their naturalistic settings using smartphones and other personal digital devices.
Shale gas development – enabled by the advent of advanced horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology - has become, over the past several years, a very important energy resource.
15c, 16c Sequence analysis of modified cytosines by bisulfite-based methods has been hugely enabled by the advent of low cost, high-throughput (sometimes called "Next Generation") sequencing on platforms such as the Solexa/Illumina system.
Its architecture and robustness make them potentially adequate for distribution networks, and this type of devices is considered as an enabling technology for the advent of embedded generation with renewable energy sources.
The advent of microarrays has enabled the screening of thousands of genes in parallel to assist in candidate gene identification.
The advent of mass spectrometry enabled the introduction of sophisticated labelling techniques, e.g. stable isotope labelling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC [46]), ICAT [25] or isotope tags (iTRAQ [47,48]).
The advent of sound enabled entire acts of many popular vaudeville tap dancers to be captured on film.
We are now as to the world of self defense in a state of overkill, to a point of absurdity, with the advent of everyone enabled to "bear arms" in the form of assault weapons.
