SMART SENSOR NETWORKS: TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS FOR GREEN GROWTH

Summary

Sensors and sensor networks have an important impact in meeting environmental challenges. Sensor applications in multiple fields such as smart power grids, smart buildings and smart industrial process control significantly contribute to more efficient use of resources and thus a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and other sources of pollution. This report gives an overview of sensor technology and fields of application of sensors an ....etc

Harnessing Distribution to Enhance Inclusive Growth of Women Entrepreneurship
*Dr. Moli P. Koshy
This paper outlines the distribution networks and hurdles of women entrepreneurs in
selling their products and the need to harness the distribution function to enhance the
inclusive growth of women entrepreneurship in Kerala.
Introduction
Traditionally, women tend to be withdrawn from the main stream of development and
stay in the background literally hiding their lamp under the bushel or restraining their
talent in a safe proximity of their ....etc

Reputation management schemes has recently been proposed as a mechanism for improving trust and security in peer-to-peer networks. This talk focuses on an often-ignored aspect of reputation management: the treatment of new entrants in the system. A new entrant can either be given benefit of doubt and be treated like a trusted peer until it misbehaves or it can be assumed to be untrusted and have to earn the trust of others. The former works well when the vast majority of peers are honest but is vulnerable to dishonest peers discarding their old ....etc

Introduction
Information Technology (IT) plays an imperative role in almost every aspect of our lives. The world today has become one global village due to the widespread use of Information Technology. It has revolutionized the way businesses are conducted today by the government and private alike. The government and business have become so reliant on IT that it is hard to imagine how they would function without it. It has become an ever-increasing resource with which organizations have created and sustained thei ....etc

ABSTRACT
Combustion chamber deposits are found in all internal combustion engines. When fuel and air burn inside an internal combustion engine, deposits form on the walls inside the cylinder. The factors influencing deposit formation are changes in fuel composition, coolant temperatures, engine speed and load, and spark timing. One way to discourage deposit formation is to prevent condensation. Raising the wall temperature prevent condensation. With increased wall temperature, hydrocarbon condensation te ....etc

Ductile Mixed-mode Fracture Criterion Development and Crack Growth Simulations




Stable tearing crack growth (slow ductile growth of a macroscopic crack in a load-bearing structure) is an important fracture failure process in ductile materials (e.g. metals) and usually precedes the final catastrophic failure of a structure. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for a simulation-based structural design and evaluation methodology that takes into account the stable tearing crack growth process. Within such a methodology, two too ....etc
