One of the first books to analyze business and financial aspects of sustainable transport and fuels systems and provides novel insights for researchers, managers, and politicians who work in energy and sustainability related areas.
The economy has hit a soft patch.' - US Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, reacting to the weak US job growth in June 2004 Mats Larsson: 'No, the economy is closing in on the limits of business development and economic growth and we are starting to see the consequences. In the next few years we will need to rethink economic policies and business strategies.' The Limits of Business Development and Economic Growth details what this means for your company, your industry or your country! There are limits to business development and economic growth. With the help of modern production and information technologies, companies are coming ever closer to the limits of what can be achieved but ultimately nothing can be done in less than no time and at less than no cost. We now need to find areas of competitive advantage that have not yet been fully exploited. This book presents both the problems and the solutions in an accessible way for experts and non-experts alike.
Over the next few years, political and financial power will move in the direction of individuals, companies and nations that are able to use energy in a more efficient way. This book describes this challenge and presents a way forward by which we may achieve the goal of increased energy efficiency in the different areas that need to change.

This book presents new mathematics for the description of structure
and dynamics in molecular and cellular biology. On an exponential
scale it is possible to combine functions describing inner
organisation, including finite periodicity, with functions for
outside morphology into a complete definition of structure. This
mathematics is particularly fruitful to apply at molecular and
atomic distances. The structure descriptions can then be related to
atomic and molecular forces and provide information on structural
mechanisms. The calculations have been focussed on lipid membranes
forming the surface layers of cell organelles. Calculated surfaces
represent the mid-surface of the lipid bilayer. Membrane dynamics
such as vesicle transport are described in this new language.
Periodic membrane assemblies exhibit conformations based on the
standing wave oscillations of the bilayer, considered to reflect
the true dynamic nature of periodic membrane structures. As an
illustration the structure of an endoplasmatic reticulum has been
calculated. The transformation of such cell membrane assemblies
into cubosomes seems to reflect a transition into vegetative
states. The organisation of the lipid bilayer of nerve cells is
analyzed, taking into account an earlier observed lipid bilayer
phase transition associated with the depolarisation of the
membrane. Evidence is given for a new structure of the alveolar
surface, relating the mathematical surface defining the bilayer
organisation to new experimental data. The surface layer is
proposed to consist of a coherent phase, consisting of a
lipid-protein bilayer curved according to a classical surface - the
CLP surface. Without employing this new mathematics it would not be
possible to give an analytical description of this structure and
its deformation during the respiration cycle. In more general terms
this mathematics is applied to the description of the structure and
dynamic properties of motor proteins, cytoskeleton proteins, and
RNA/DNA. On a macroscopic scale the motions of cilia, sperm and
flagella are modelled.
