This book gathers selected high-quality research papers presented at International Conference on Renewable Technologies in Engineering (ICRTE 2022) organized by Manav Rachna International Institute of Research & Studies, Faridabad, Haryana, India, during October 7–8, 2022. The book includes conference papers on the theme ‘Computational Techniques for Renewable Energy Optimization,’ which aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of renewable energy integration, planning, control, and optimization. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of renewable energy and resources.
We, humans, are cosmic beings. The elements that make up our bodies – iron in our blood, carbon in our cells, oxygen in our breath – were born in the nuclear furnaces of dying stars, which is why we are literally made of stardust. This book is a celebration of the celestial fragments that reside within us, and the warmth of love and sunshine that radiates from our souls. Through the words of esteemed writers from across India, we explore the magic of our stardust heritage and the sunshine that illuminates within us.
Resistant starch (RS) is a type of dietary fiber that has garnered significant attention for its potential health benefits and applications in nutrition. It resists digestion in the small intestine and reaches the large intestine, where it undergoes fermentation by gut microbiota. This process produces various beneficial byproducts, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which have been linked to numerous health-promoting effects. The unique properties of resistant starch make it an intriguing field of research, particularly regarding its potential role in disease prevention. This special issue aims to explore the advances and applications of resistant starch in nutrition for disease preve...
Solar cell energy is the single most pressing issue facing humanity, with a more technologically advanced society requiring better energy resources. This book discusses technologies broadly, depending on how they capture and distribute solar energy or convert it into solar power. The major areas covered in this book are: • The theory of solar cells, which explains the conversion of light energy in photons into electric current. The theoretical studies are practical because they predict the fundamental limits of a solar cell. • The design and development of thin-film technology-based solar cells. • State of the art for bulk material applied for solar cells based on crystalline silicon (c-Si), also known as “solar grade silicon,” and emerging photovoltaics.
The International Bibliography of Sikh Studies brings together all books, composite works, journal articles, conference proceedings, theses, dissertations, project reports, and electronic resources produced in the field of Sikh Studies until June 2004, making it the most complete and up-to-date reference work in the field today. One of the youngest religions of the world, Sikhism has progressively attracted attention on a global scale in recent decades. An increasing number of scholars is exploring the culture, history, politics, and religion of the Sikhs.
