Wells; Back Cover 330 $aIn recent decades, resource-rich developing countries have been using their natural resources as collateral to access sources of finance for investment, countervailing the barriers they face when accessing conventional bank lending and capital markets. One of the financing models that have emerged as a result is the Resource Financed Infrastructure (RFI) model, a derivation of previous oil-backed lending models pioneered by several Western banks in Africa. Under a Resource Financed Infrastructure (RFI) arrangement, a loan for current infrastructure construction is securitized against the net 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics) 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics) 676 $a332.042 700 $aHalland$b Havard$01171143 702 $aHalland$b Ha?vard 702 $aCollier$b Paul 702 $aEdwards$b Sam 702 $aNaylor$b Debra 801 0$bMIA 801 1$bMIA 801 2$bNTD 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954489603321 996 $aResource financed infrastructure$94363272 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07056nam 22007815 450 001 9911009339903321 005 20250608130233.0 010 $a3-031-87677-6 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-87677-6 035 $a(CKB)39239621300041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32149940 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32149940 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-87677-6 035 $a(OCoLC)1524420554 035 $a(EXLCZ)9939239621300041 100 $a20250608d2025 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPhysics and Mechanics of New Materials and Their Applications $eProceedings of the International Conference PHENMA 2024 /$fedited by Ivan A.

The developed theoretical and experiment approaches cover prospective manufacture methods of nanomaterials, ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics (environmentally friendly) and other advanced materials and composites. The book discusses fabrication techniques, physics, mechanics, and applications of promising materials and composites. It presents numerous results of theoretical and experimental studies of novel materials and devices with beforehand given and improved structure-sensitive properties, based on the methods of biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, magnetoelectric elasticity, physics of condensed matter and material science. Thus, the book allows one to better understand the modern requirements for advanced materials and composites. The results obtained also include computational algorithms and original hard- and software, used in realization of numerical methods (in particular, finite-element modeling), demonstrating fascinating new advancements for wide spectrum of novel materials (which could be obtained due to reprocessing or using natural materials, wastes, fruits and plants) and devices. The advanced materials with specific properties and novel devices, based on them, show higher and improved properties in comparison with the properties of the competitive publications. In the result, it gives a new knowledge, which is necessary for numerous applications and subsequent development of industry and the methods of management and marketing. The original theoretical, numerical and experiment methods, manufactured devices and set-ups demonstrate significant possibilities in expanding the research of various physical processes and phenomena. They provide different improvements in the study of numerous structure-sensitive characteristics of solids and structures. The book will be useful for students, post-graduate students, scientists and engineers, which research and develop a new generation of nanomaterials and nanocomposites, ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials, other promising structures and compositions with structure-sensitive properties, and various devices, designed on their base and used in different applications of science, technique and technology. Moreover, it will be very interesting for specialists, working in industry, management and marketing. The book is important for unification and development of various expertise, designs and studies. It presents new research methods and scientific results in the Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Science, Physical and Mechanical Experiment, Processing Techniques and Engineering of Nanomaterials, Piezoelectrics and other Advanced Materials and Composites, Computational Methods, numerous applications and developed devices. 410 0$aSpringer Proceedings in Materials,$x2662-317X ;$v3 606 $aMaterials 606 $aCatalysis 606 $aForce and energy 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aCeramic materials 606 $aFuel cells 606 $aPerovskite (Mineral) 606 $aMaterials for Energy and Catalysis 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aCeramics 606 $aFuel Cells 606 $aPerovskites 606 $aMaterials Engineering 615 0$aMaterials. 615 0$aCatalysis. 615 0$aForce and energy. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aCeramic materials. 615 0$aFuel cells. 615 0$aPerovskite (Mineral) 615 14$aMaterials for Energy and Catalysis. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 615 24$aCeramics. 615 24$aFuel Cells. 615 24$aPerovskites. 615 24$aMaterials Engineering. 676 $a620.1 700 $aParinov$b Ivan A$01650866 701 $aChang$b Shun-Hsyung$01825698 701 $aSohani$b Nagendra$01825699 701 $aGupta$b Vijay Kumar$01825700 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009339903321 996 $aPhysics and Mechanics of New Materials and Their Applications$94393575 997 $aUNINA
