Describes the major architectures, standards, and technologies of Passive Optical Networks (PONs) The ComSoc Guide to Passive Optical Networks provides readers with a concise explanation of the key features of Passive Optical Networks (PONs); the different types of PON architectures and standards; key issues of PON devices, management, and implementation; and the promising business opportunities in access networks. Written for a broad audience, ranging from developers to users, this indispensable book provides an understanding o the evolutionary path of PON access systems and their positioning with respect to the cable, copper, and wireless competitors for broadband access networks. In addition, The ComSoc Guide to Passive Optical Networks: <ul>
<li>Provides brief, high-level overviews of the architectures and applications of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) or Fiber-to-the-Curb (FTTC) access networks and the alternative HFC, subscriber line, and WiMAX access systems</li> <li>Awards readers with a clear understanding of what BPON, GPON, WDM-PON and EPON are and how they work, together with an introduction to their respective standards</li> <li>Carefully defines all acronyms and technical terms, making the book accessible to those who may not be specialists in this area</li> <li>Gives readers an appreciation of the last mile problems in telecommunications access networks, and the opportunities in optical-wireless integration</li> </ul>

Why is Hollywood so successful? Overwhelming almost every other national cinema and virtually extinguishing foreign cinema in the multicultural United States, Hollywood seems powerful around the globe. This book draws from political economy, cultural studies, and cultural policy analysis to highlight the material factors underlining this apparent artistic success. This new edition brings the arguments completely up-to-date by taking into consideration important developments such as 9/11, shifts in the exchange rate, transformations in U.S. foreign policy, and significant developments in trade agreements, consumer technology, and ownership regimes. Each chapter has been substantially revised, and major new sections on India and China have been added.

Why is Hollywood so successful? Overwhelming almost every other national cinema and virtually extinguishing foreign cinema in the multicultural United States, Hollywood seems powerful around the globe.

With the increasing stringency on sulfur content in petrodiesel, there is a growing tendency of broader usage of ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) with sulfur limit of 15 ppm. Refineries should develop cost- effective and sustainable strategies to meet the requirement. In addition to the conventional approach of revamping existing hydrotreating facilities, blending petrodiesel with biodiesel is a potentially attractive option. In this work, petrodiesel and biodiesel production processes were simulated. Next, process integration techniques were employed to optimize the processes, including both mass and heat integration. Cost estimation was carried out and optimization was performed for three blending options. In addition to the economic comparison, life-cycle greenhouse gas emission and safety issues were also investigated. This work should help shed some light on development of alternative sustainable resources and especially on the option of blending biodiesel. It should be useful to professionals in energy industry, and anyone else who are interested in process economics, environmental and safety aspects of petrodiesel and biodiesel production.
