Book Description
The book explains the self-assembly of nanostructures derived from different materials classes for a broad range of applications. The starting materials comprise biomacromolecules, complex environments at cell surfaces, inorganic building blocks, and synthetic organic polymers. A team of leading experts focuses on the explanation of molecular recognition mechanisms at interfaces that enable control of driving forces for self-organization from the nanometer to the micrometer scale, including biotic-abiotic and inorganic-organic interfaces. The spectrum of topics includes signaling at cell membranes, biologically programmed mineralization of nanostructures, nano-designed building and transportation materials, as well as assembly of soft matter for energy conversion and electronic devices. Structure-property relationships of biological, medicinal, biomimetic, and functional materials from the nanoscale up will be supported by state-of-the-art synthesis, assembly, and characterization techniques, including recent developments in modeling and simulation. The book strives to balance fundamental concepts and emerging applications. The book shows parallels and differences between different fields such as bioengineering, inorganic chemistry, organic electronics, combinatorial materials design, modeling and theory.

Energy and Infrastructure Management in Post Covid-19 Era

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
Covid-19 outbreak has been the biggest health, social and economic emergency the world has ever faced since the Second World War. The pandemic has drastically changed, at least temporarily, the way society, businesses, and infrastructure systems operate. It has forced us to take a closer look at our woefully inadequate health infrastructure. It also led to the closure of educational institutions and turned formal learning into distance learning, posing a daunting challenge of demand for e-learning infrastructure. Social distancing policies (SDPs), encouraging people to stay home and limit gatherings, impacted wide range of services and industries. The telecommunications infrastructure, in particular, became a spotlight in view of its critical importance to keep businesses, governments, and societies connected and running in the period of economic and social disruption. The governments acknowledged a fact that “telecommunications, internet services, broadcasting, cable services, IT and IT-enabled services (ITeS)” are the essential services. Work from Home (WFH) seemed a positive experience, however with some adverse impact on the social, behavioural and physical factors. ICEIM 2022 is a humble contribution of SPM PDEU in terms of presenting a scholarly platform wherein abundance of ideas, answers, right questions, and complementing new learning’s are expected to emerge. The conference aims at discussing and deliberating various contemporary issues and challenge in the management of energy & infrastructure. The conference showcases seven tracks, five of which are Business & Technology, Finance, Human Resource, Marketing, and Project & Operations Management. Then in view of emerging scenario, two more tracks were added namely, Business Analytics and Data Science, Strategies & Entrepreneurship Management. We do expect to receive 80–90 research papers covering various tracks of the conference. We have so far got regular research papers, industry papers, Ph.D. research papers and students’ research articles. New research directions also constitute an agenda of a conference. This conference had three plenary sessions: a) Emerging Electrical Vehicle Ecosystem: Prospects and Impediments, b) Infrastructure Development in India: Policy Perspectives and Innovative Financing Initiatives, c) Energy Sector Management: Challenges and Strategies in Industry 4.0 era. All the plenary sessions of this conference have speakers mostly from the industry. We strongly believe that this International Conference will provide ample opportunities to all participants to disseminate new research ideas with industry professionals as well as the policy-makers. It is also believed that this International Conference will initiate new thought process towards the issues and challenges faced by the energy and infrastructure and will definitely add substantially to the existing domain of knowledge. We are pleased to present this proceeding of the International Conference to the academicians, researchers, industry practitioners and policy-makers who all have joined hands towards building the new knowledge development in the area of energy & infrastructure management.

Nanotechnologies, Ethics and Politics
Author: H. ten Have
Publisher: UNESCO
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Research in technologies at the atomic and molecular levels is rapidly growing worldwide. Their promising applications in medicine, manufacturing and communication range from the development of new drugs and diagnostic tools to pollutant removal and prevention, as well as to the production of stronger and lighter materials and revolutionary ways of storing, retrieving band disseminating information. Public opinion about nanotechnologies is already divided between hopes nourished by their potential benefits and the fear of their possible harmful effects on the environment and humankind. In the face of this divide, Nanotechnologies, Ethics and Politics engages in a rare kind of prospective ethical revolution: What health and environmental issues arise with the use of new materials produced by nanoscale technologies? How might nanoscale devices be controlled, and what concerns attend military and biomedical applications of nanotechnologies? What opportunities might these bring for international cooperation addressing the most pressing needs of developing countries? This volume brings together 14 experts from around the globe - advisors to the World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology (COMEST) - who discuss the state of the art of nanotechnology, examine the controversy surrounding its definition and explore related ethical and political issues. The aim is stimulate a fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue about nanoscale technologies among scientists, ethicists, policymakers, special interest groups and the general public.

Advances in Lubricant Additives and Tribology
Author: S.P. Srivastava
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
It is understood that hydrogen is going to be the future clean fuel, which can either be used in fuel cells or directly in engines. This will mean that there will be challenges to the lubricant developers to meet the requirements of new engines using hydrogen as fuel, where there would be no soot, no sulphur, and no carbon deposits from fuels. Lubricating base oil technology has changed during the last decade. API group III oils produced through hydro processes and GTL base oils are free from sulphur and nitrogen and have high viscosity index. Therefore the engine oil formulations would have to change considerably in the near future. The use of biodegradable lubricants mainly based on vegetable oils or genetically modified vegetable oils, would increase in the agricultural and forest sector. This book incorporates up-to-date information on these important subjects, which shall enable the readers to understand the dynamics of lubricant additive technology and tribology. The book will be useful to all those engaged in education and research in the field of lubricant additives and lubricants.
