Watermelon Weed Control: Current and Future Possibilities

Cochlear implants: current designs and future possibilities.

The cochlear implant is the most successful of all neural prostheses developed to date. It is the most effective prosthesis in terms of restoration of function, and the people who have received a cochlear implant outnumber the recipients of other types of neural prostheses by orders of magnitude. The primary purpose of this article is to provide an overview of contemporary cochlear implants fro...

Ammunition Marking Current Practices and Future Possibilities

Stone treatments: current trends and future possibilities.

With the widespread distribution of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) by the late 1980s, this noninvasive technology became the preferred approach to most patients with symptomatic urolithiasis. The extraordinary success of the original Dornier HM3 lithotriptor had tremendous appeal to patients and physicians alike. SWL was established as the preferred initial treatment approach for 80% to 90% of ca...

Nanopesticide: Current Status and Future Possibilities

Excess use of chemical pesticides in agriculture assisting the accomplishment of agri-food production targets. But, indiscriminate use of chemical pesticide is the serious concern for environment and human, which deteriorating the soil health, nutritional quality of food and increasing resistance in phyto-pathogens and pests. Nanotechnology provided the sustainable solution in this regard by de...

Real Time Control and Optimisation – Current Status, New Developments and Future Possibilities

Multi-variable predictive control (MVPC) can now be considered to be a mature technology with proven benefits, particularly in the Hydrocarbon Processing Industries. This paper outlines the current status of this technology and its typical applications. New directions are described, including multi-unit optimisation, the use of non-linear models in linear control, improved tools for inferential...
