Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.

Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy and the Economy : Volume 2 Volume 2
Rigorous nonpartisan research on the effects of economic forces and public policy on entrepreneurship and innovation. Entrepreneurship and innovation are widely recognized as drivers of economic dynamics and long-term prosperity.This series communicates key findings about the implications of entrepreneurial and innovative activity across the economy.In the first paper, Joseph Barberio, Jacob Becraft, Zied Ben Chaouch, Dimitris Bertsimas, Tasuku Kitada, Michael Li, Andrew Lo, Kevin Shi, and Qingyang Xu explore pharmaceutical firms’ weak incentives to develop vaccines against prospective diseases—due to high investment risks, low expected returns, and the rarity of pandemics— and consider a portfolio approach to financing vaccine research.Next, Daniel Hemel and Lisa Larrimore Ouellette describe a “trilemma” between quality, price, and access that appears after a generic pharmaceuticals patent expires, and show that it is difficult in a regulatory context to achieve distinct goals around price, access, and quality simultaneously.In the third paper, Silvia Dalla Fontana and Ramana Nanda examine the role of patents in the transition to a carbon-free world.They find relative to other technological areas, “Net Zero patents” are close to the scientific frontier, but due to difficulties of commercializing inventions, the share of such patents that are venture-backed has been increasingly directed to areas outside clean tech and other “deep” technologies.Jacquelyn Pless examines the effects of divestment from firms in “dirty” industries on innovation to combat climate change, or “green innovation.” She finds that compared with divesting, investing in firms and engaging with green corporate governance practices may induce more green innovation.Next, Robert Fairlie and David Robinson find that Black-owned innovative-intensive new businesses start smaller than their peers and do not converge in size over time.Differential access to bank financing is a major factor.Also “soft information,” which can help new businesses without established track records, can increase barriers for black founders and limit entrepreneurial pathways to prosperity.Finally, Jonathan Gruber, Simon Johnson, and Enrico Moretti consider the regional concentration of innovative activity in the United States.They find that while the concentration of activity has net advantages today, understanding the long-term benefits of more diffuse innovation clusters —including equity, industrial diversification, and talent development—is important.

What is the difference between volume fraction and volume concentration?
Volume fraction and volume concentration are often used interchangeably, but they have slightly different meanings. Volume fraction refers to the ratio of the volume of a solute to the total volume of the solution, expressed as a decimal or percentage. On the other hand, volume concentration specifically refers to the amount of solute present in a given volume of solution, often expressed in units such as molarity or molality. In summary, volume fraction is a measure of the proportion of the solute in the entire solution, while volume concentration is a measure of the amount of solute in a specific volume of the solution.

What is the difference between molar volume and specific volume?
Molar volume is the volume occupied by one mole of a substance at a specific temperature and pressure, while specific volume is the volume occupied by a unit mass of a substance. Molar volume is expressed in units of volume per mole, such as liters per mole, while specific volume is expressed in units of volume per unit mass, such as cubic meters per kilogram. Molar volume is used in the context of chemical reactions and stoichiometry, while specific volume is used in the context of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.

How do you calculate the tank volume or the cylinder volume?
To calculate the volume of a tank or cylinder, you can use the formula V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, π is a constant (approximately 3.14159), r is the radius of the base of the cylinder, and h is the height of the cylinder. If you have the diameter of the cylinder instead of the radius, you can use the formula V = π(d/2)^2h, where d is the diameter. Simply plug in the values for r and h into the formula and solve for V to find the volume of the tank or cylinder.

What is the difference between data volume and high-speed volume?
Data volume refers to the amount of data being processed or stored, while high-speed volume refers to the rate at which data is being processed or transmitted. In other words, data volume is about the quantity of data, while high-speed volume is about the speed at which data is being handled. For example, a large data volume might require high-speed volume processing to efficiently handle and analyze the data in a timely manner.
