It discusses the pros and cons of techniques and methods used in electrophysiology and how to avoid their pitfalls.Particularly in an era where high quality off-the-shelf solutions are readily available, it is important for the electrophysiologist to understand how his or her equipmeElectrophysiologyEquipment and suppliesElectronicsElectronic books.ElectrophysiologyEquipment and supplies.Electronics.612.01427612.813616.807547Bretschneider Franklin1947-937171De Weille Jan R140939MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458608003321Introduction to electrophysiological methods and instrumentation2110835UNINA04435nam 2200901z- 450 991056647160332120220506(CKB)5680000000037664(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/80962(oapen)doab80962(EXLCZ)99568000000003766420202205d2022 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Circular Economy Challenge: Towards a Sustainable DevelopmentBaselMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20221 online resource (154 p.)3-0365-3675-2 3-0365-3676-0 Many recent events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, have proven the necessity of a transformation of the current economic system based on a linear schema of: "take", "make", "use", and "dispose". This radical change should involve all of the actors involved in the economic system: institutions, industries, consumers, and scientific research. Only cooperation among these stakeholders can ensure an effective shift toward a circular model. However, which kinds of actions can be performed to implement an effective circular economy? The present Special Issue collects nine papers that prove the possibility of implementing the circular economy from different points of view. The authors analyze all of the spheres of sustainability (environmental, economic, and social) in a variety of contexts, evaluating the effect of the circular choices. The nine papers include several key product value chains, in agreement with the most recent European Circular Economy Action Plan (e.g., electronics and ICT, batteries, plastics, construction and buildings, and food). The present paper collection proves that the circular economy is not only a simple business model, but rather, it involves the integration of many strategies for the protection of the natural ecosystem and the maintenance of worldwide economic stability. The holistic approach is essential for a successful business model, and innovation has an indispensable role in the transition. In this context, the present Special Issue aims to be a multidisciplinary collection of innovations useful for all of the stakeholders involved in the circular economy.Circular Economy ChallengeResearch and information: generalbicsscagriculture residuearsenicAspergillus nigerbio-based productbiotechnologiesbusiness dynamicscapacity buildingcircular designcircular economycircularitycollaborative networkscompetitivenesscooperative business modelscoppercritical raw materials (CRM)ecoinnovation indexEgyptelectrodialytic processenergy storageentrepreneurshipenvironmental sustainabilityEuropean Union (EU) legislationExtended Producer Responsibility (EPR)food wastehydrogeninclusivenessinnovation and policy for sustainabilityinnovation capability and resilienceinvestments and patents governanceknowledge managementlife cycle assessmentlinear economylithium-ion batteries (LIBs)n/aorganizational sustainabilityprinted circuit boardsR&D personnel by sectorsecondary mining resourcessocietal transformationstakeholderssustainable developmenttotal quality managementtungstenupscalevernacular architecturezincResearch and information: generalAmato Alessiaedt1328535Amato AlessiaothBOOK9910566471603321The Circular Economy Challenge: Towards a Sustainable Development3038658UNINA
