Emerging Trends in Energy Harvesting Technologies

Emerging Dimensions in the Energy Harvesting

Energy is everywhere in the environment surrounding us i.e. it is available in the form of thermal energy, light (solar) energy, wind energy, and mechanical energy etc. However, the energy from these sources is often found in such minute quantities that it cannot supply adequate power for any viable purpose. In fact, it has not been possible to capture such energy sufficiently to perform any us...

Trends in Emerging On-Chip Interconnect Technologies

In deep submicron (DSM) VLSI technologies, it is becoming increasingly harder for a copper based electrical interconnect fabric to satisfy the multiple design requirements of delay, power, bandwidth, and delay uncertainty. This is because electrical interconnects are becoming increasingly susceptible to parasitic resistance and capacitance with shrinking process technology and rising clock freq...

Emerging electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies

Electrochemical cells and systems play a key role in a wide range of industry sectors. These devices are critical enabling technologies for renewable energy; energy management, conservation, and storage; pollution control/monitoring; and greenhouse gas reduction. A large number of electrochemical energy technologies have been developed in the past. These systems continue to be optimized in term...

Emerging Trends and Technologies in Knowledge Management: A Holistic Vision

The economies have been continuously evolving over the past sixty years and that even at a rapid pace in the last two decades. Intellectuals, scholars and think-tanks from disciplines as diverse as Economics, Information Technology and Management Science generally agree that knowledge has been the pivot of this transformation. Acknowledging the importance of knowledge management and the complex...
