This book presents a comprehensive coverage of the five fundamental
yet intertwined pillars paving the road towards the future of
connected autonomous electric vehicles and smart cities. The
connectivity pillar covers all the latest advancements and various
technologies on vehicle-to-everything (V2X)
communications/networking and vehicular cloud computing, with
special emphasis on their role towards vehicle autonomy and smart
cities applications. On the other hand, the autonomy track focuses
on the different efforts to improve vehicle spatiotemporal
perception of its surroundings using multiple sensors and different
perception technologies. Since most of CAVs are expected to run on
electric power, studies on their electrification technologies,
satisfaction of their charging demands, interactions with the grid,
and the reliance of these components on their connectivity and
autonomy, is the third pillar that this book covers. On the smart
services side, the book highlights the game-changing roles CAV will
play in future mobility services and intelligent transportation
systems. The book also details the ground-breaking directions
exploiting CAVs in broad spectrum of smart cities applications.
Example of such revolutionary applications are autonomous mobility
on-demand services with integration to public transit, smart homes,
and buildings. The fifth and final pillar involves the illustration
of security mechanisms, innovative business models, market
opportunities, and societal/economic impacts resulting from the
soon-to-be-deployed CAVs. This book contains an archival collection
of top quality, cutting-edge and multidisciplinary research on
connected autonomous electric vehicles and smart cities. The book
is an authoritative reference for smart city decision makers,
automotive manufacturers, utility operators, smart-mobility service
providers, telecom operators, communications engineers, power
engineers, vehicle charging providers, university professors,
researchers, and students who would like to learn more about the
advances in CAEVs connectivity, autonomy, electrification,
security, and integration into smart cities and intelligent
transportation systems.
Esterases and lipases are widely used as industrial enzymes. The
industrial demand for both increased constantly over the last 20
years. In 2000 the market value of lipoyltic enzymes was US $ 90
millions which represent around 7% of the whole enzymes market
value. They are used in various commercial applications such as
therapeutic, diagnostic and analytical reagents and as catalysts in
different industries e.g. dairy, paper, cosmetics, synthesis of
chiral drugs etc. The demand for esterases and lipases for
industrial applications is increasing; therefore we need to find
new enzymes with interesting catalytic properties. Because of their
rich secondary metabolism, Streptomyces species offer a relatively
untapped source of interesting esterases and lipases. In this book
we show how we can use the information obtained from genome
projects to search for enzymes of novel activity, which can act as
a good candidate for industrial applications.
