Energy demand is continuously rising, mainly due to population
growth and rapid economic development. There are substantial
worries about the environmental effects of fossil fuels in addition
to the uncertainties surrounding the long-term sustainability of
non-renewable energy sources. Environmental safety concerns are
driving an increase in the demand for renewable energy production.
Numerous efforts have been paid to harvest energy from ambient
sources, e.g. solar, wind, thermal, hydro, mechanical, etc. This
book discusses the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for
energy harvesting. The implementation of metaheuristics and AL
algorithms in the field of energy harvesting system will provide a
quick start for the researchers and engineers who are new to this
area. Energy harvesting technologies are growing very speedily,
hence it is necessary to summarize recent advances in energy
harvesting methodology. Over the recent years, a considerable
amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia,
towards the performance modelling and evaluation of energy
harvesting technologies. This book is the result of a collaborative
effort among different researchers in the fields of energy
harvesting and artificial intelligence. Technical topics discussed
in the book include: Hybrid algorithms Mechanical to electrical
energy conversion Swarm intelligence MPPT technologies Polymer
nanocomposites

As the demand for energy harvesting and storage devices grows, this
book will be valuable for researchers to learn about the most
current achievements in this sector. Sustainable development
systems are centered on three pillars: economic development,
environmental stewardship, and social. One of the ideas established
to achieve balance between these pillars is to minimize the usage
of nonrenewable energy sources. Harvesting energy from the
surrounding environment and converting it into electrical power is
one viable solution to this problem. In recent years, there has
been a surge in the development of new energy generation
technologies such as solar, wind, and thermal energy to replace
fossil fuel energy supplies with cleaner renewable ones. Energy
harvesting systems have emerged as a key study topic and are
rapidly expanding.

The study is about the widespread diseases of Gladiolus, caused by
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. gladioli. It was revealed that the
Fusarium corm rot and yellows disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum
f. sp. gladioli severely affected the standing crop and corms of
gladiolus during storage. The disease intensity varied from 10 to
40% in the field and 15 to 40% in the store houses. Therefore, the
present study was under taken with a view to investigate various
aspects of the diseases in field and postharvest storage and its
effective and eco-friendly management by using hot water, UV-C,
essential oil of Hyptis suaveolens, solarization of soil and
fumigation of soil with essential oil. Integrated approach of all
these control methods was utilized to control post-harvest Fusarium
corm rot of gladiolus and Fusarium wilt and yellows in the fields.
Various control methods have been assessed during the study and
interestingly the present study confirmed that essential oil from
H. suaveolens inhibiting the growth of F.oxysporum f. sp. gladioli
leading to irreversible deleterious morphological alterations and
thus it is worth exploiting for the Eco-friendly management of the
disease.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious and potentially fatal disease
that can affect almost any part of the body but manifests mainly as
an infection of the lungs. It is caused by a bacterial
microorganism, the Tubercle Bacillus or Mycobacterium Tuberculosis.
The Radiometric culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test
for diagnosis of pulmonary and extra pulmonary tuberculosis (TB)
was evaluated in this work.
This Study describes a methodological approach based on the use of
GIS and multi criteria analysis to identify Tree planting sites in
Manchester. A set of criteria were defined to evaluate tree
planting sites. After defining the criteria, next step was to
selecting suitable indicators and variables to measure the selected
criteria for analysis. Later on these criteria were ranked using
the pair wise comparison method of multi criteria analysis and
results was integrated into GIS. Multi criteria analysis and GIS is
an effective approach for GIS decision makers as it allows one to
gradually narrow down a problem. Integration of multi criteria
analysis and GIS will give decision makers to explore the options
of providing effectiveness to the factors.This study also shows
that how GIS and MCE are a powerful tool for decision makers and
how it helps people in identifying problem areas that need
immediate attention or for further planning purpose.
