Excitonics An exciton is an excitation that mediates the absorption and emission of light, especially in low-cost disordered solar cell and LED materials. In the Center for Excitonics, we seek to supersede traditional electronics with devices that use excitons to mediate the flow of energy. In my presentation, I’ll describe two applications of excitonics in devices: high-brightness quantum dot-based LEDs, and exciton fission in high efficiency solar cells.
Liquid Biofuels: An International Solution to an International Challenge Concerns about national security issues and global warming have kindled interest in production of liquid biofuels. In order to minimize the conflict between food and fuel use, it is increasingly important to establish systems for the efficient production of biofuels from non-food polysaccharides such as renewable lignocellulosic biomass or directly from carbon dioxide and other gases. Ethanol, typically used as “biofuel” in cars— alcohol refined from grain or sugar cane &mda

It can occur naturally, but is usually associated with human activity that releases nutrients into the environment. Anthropogenic eutrophication has caused a widespread loss of biodiversity in many systems. Recent attempts to reverse the process are proving difficult and expensive. Symptoms of eutrophication are most readily seen in aquatic sys 4.4 Reducing nutrient availability Once nutrients are in an ecosystem, it is usually much harder and more expensive to remove them than tackle the eutrophication at source. The main methods available are: precipitation (e.g. treatment with a solution of aluminium or ferrous salt to precipitate phosphates); removal of nutrient-enriched sediments, for example by mud pumping; and removal of biomass (e.g. harvesting of common reed) and using it for thatchi 3.2 Anthropogenic sources of nutrients In addition to the natural sources of nutrients referred to above, nitrogen and phosphorus enter the environment from a number of anthropogenic sources. These are considered below. 3.1.1 Phosphorus Phosphorus has a number of indispensable biochemical roles and is an essential element for growth in all organisms, being a component of nucleic acids such as DNA, which hold the code for life. However, phosphorus is a scarce element in the Earth's crust and natural mobilization of phosphorus from rocks is slow. Its compounds are relatively insoluble, there is no reservoir of gaseous phosphorus compounds available in the atmosphere (as there is for carbon and nitrogen), and phosphorus is also 2.7 A gene ‘for’ obesity? So far we have mostly emphasized the way in which different environmental factors may affect body weight and provide a partial explanation of both individual cases of obesity and the increase in average body weight that has been so clearly documented in both North America and Western Europe during the last two decades. There is also marked individual variability in body weight. For example, any weight between about 58 and 78 kg would be regarded as ‘desirable’ for a person of height 1.77 Learning outcomes By the end of this unit you should be able to: Acknowledgements The material acknowledged below is contained in Chapter 3 of An Introduction to Galaxies and Cosmology (eds Mark H Jones and Robert J Lambourne), published by the Press Syndicate of The University of Cambridge in association with The Open University.
