Thanks to the advances in micromachining fabrication technologies and significant
cost reduction due to mass production, miniature sensors of angular rate, or
gyroscopes, found their way into the everyday life of every user of modern gadgets,
such as smart phones, tablets or even wristwatches. Often ...
The large-scale deployment of the smart grid (SG) paradigm could play a strategic role in
supporting the evolution of conventional electrical grids toward active, flexible and self-
healing web energy networks composed of distributed and cooperative energy resources.
From a conceptual point of view, ...
With the continued growth in the world's population, there is a need to ensure availability of
enough food to feed everyone. Advances in science and technology have helped not only to
increase food production, but also to reduce food wastage. However, the latter has the
potential to be improved to a ...
