Over the past few decades there has been an exponential growth in service robots
and smart home technologies, which has led to the development of exciting new
products in our daily lives. Service robots can be used to provide domestic aid for
the elderly and disabled, serving various functions rangi ...
This chapter surveys the high temperature and oxygen partial pressure
behavior of complex oxide heterostructures as determined by in situ synchrotron
X-ray methods. We consider both growth and post-growth behavior, emphasizing
the observation of structural and interfacial defects relevant to t ...
Modern power systems involve large amount of investment. An electric power
system comprises of generation, transmission, and distribution of electric energy.
Growth of power systems has led to very complex networks extended across large
areas. In such situations, the proper functioning of a modern p ...

With global drivers such as better energy
consumption, energy efficiency and reduction of
greenhouse gases, CO 2 emission reduction has become
key in every layer of the value chain. Power Electronics
has definitely a role to play in these thrilling challeng ...
The rapid growth of RFID use in various supply chain operations, which has
arisen from the development of Electronic Product Code (EPC) technology,
has created a need for the consideration of security issues in the adoption of that
technology.
adio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a rapidly developing automatic wireless data-collection
technology with a long history.The first multi-bit functional passive RFID systems,with a range of
several meters, appeared in the early 1970s, and continued to evolve through the 1980s. Recently,
RFID ha ...
With the continued growth in the world's population, there is a need to ensure availability of
