Africa's Information Revolution presents an in-depth examination of the development and economic geographies accompanying the rapid diffusion of new ICTs in Sub-Saharan Africa. Represents the first book-length comparative case study ICT diffusion in Africa of its kind Confronts current information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) discourse by providing a counter to largely optimistic mainstream perspectives on Africa's prospects for m- and e-development Features comparative research based on more than 200 interviews with firms from a manufacturing and service industry RGS-IBG book series.Information technologyEconomic aspectsSouth AfricaInformation technologyEconomic aspectsTanzaniaSouth AfricaEconomic conditionsTanzaniaEconomic conditionsInformation technologyEconomic aspectsInformation technologyEconomic aspects303.48330968SOC042000bisacshMurphy James T.174089Carmody PádraigMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910208958003321Africa's information revolution1887800UNINA05657nam 22009135 450 991029862190332120251230064621.0981-287-505-010.1007/978-981-287-505-1(CKB)3710000000434455(EBL)2094740(SSID)ssj0001524941(PQKBManifestationID)11858833(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001524941(PQKBWorkID)11483800(PQKB)10467726(DE-He213)978-981-287-505-1(MiAaPQ)EBC2094740(PPN)186395760(EXLCZ)99371000000043445520150615d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrICGSCE 2014 Proceedings of the International Conference on Global Sustainability and Chemical Engineering /edited by Md Amin Hashim1st ed. 2015.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (403 p.)Description based upon print version of record.981-287-504-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Overview on Chemical-based, Bio-based and Natural-based Surfactants in EOR Applications -- OPEFB Filler from Biomass in Super Absorbent Polymer Composite for Agriculture Application: A Comparative Study -- Exploring Non-wood Plants as Alternative Pulps: From the Physical and Chemical Perspective -- Separation of Pyrrole from Iso-Decane Using Imidazolium and Pyridinium Based Ionic Liquid at 298.15K:Experiment and COSMO-RS Prediction -- The Development of Amine-Based Potential Kenaf Sorbent for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture -- Potential Effect of Palm Oil Fuel Ash as Micro-Filler of Polymer Concrete -- Liquid Membrane Formulation for Succinic Acid Extraction from Simulated Aqueous Waste Solution -- Preservation of Natural Textile Colorant from Xylocarpus Moluccensis by Encapsulating into PVA Alginate -- Coagulant from Chemically Modified Fish Scale for Textile Wastewater Treatment -- Investigation of N-containing organic compound as corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in saline environment -- Evaluation on the Effect of Inhibitor Ratio to the Wax Deposition in Malaysian Crude -- Solvent Extraction of Castor Beans Oil: Experimental Optimization via Response Surface Methodology -- Immobilization of nano-sized TiO2 on Glass Plate for the Removal of Methyl Orange and Methylene Blue.This book includes selected papers from the ICGSCE 2014 with focus on the current trends of global resources used to meet the growing demands to improve life style coupled with environmental and social problems related to the resource consumption with emphasize to move towards sustainable development. It provides a platform for scientists and academicians from local and international universities and industries to promote, share and discuss various new issues and developments in different areas of Chemical Engineering with respect to global sustainability.
