This book systematically presents the technical aspects of supercritical water oxidation and supercritical water gasification for energy and environmental applications, which include reactor design, construction materials, corrosion, salt precipitation, etc. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the properties of supercritical water, and the industrial applications, reaction mechanisms and reaction kinetics of supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) and supercritical water gasific...

Apocalyptic predictions that AI will eliminate millions of jobs have caused widespread fear. When people hear that AI can write, code, and diagnose, they often jump to a scary conclusion: If machines can think, human work is doomed. Messy Jobs argues that this gloomy belief gets the economics of work wrong.Economists Luis Garicano, Jin Li, and Yanhui Wu offer a new framework for thinking about AI and work. They show why some roles will disappear, why others will be reshape...
