The United Nations predicts that by the year 2025, two-thirds of
the world’s population will face water scarcity. Further, the
planet would have well over eight billion people, the majority of
whom would live in developing countries, where more than 80% of
those are already experiencing water scarcity. Therefore, there is
an urgent need for wastewater recycling to help solve issues of
scarcity and to facilitate better management of generated
wastewater. Water recycling includes reuse and treatment of
municipal wastewater, which could be a sustainable approach for
environmental sustainability and could also help to offset the
increasing water demands for irrigation and industrial and other
needs. Currently, water and wastewater treatment facilities consume
large amounts of energy that are mainly generated through the use
of fossil fuels. Solar Powered Wastewater Recycling examines how
solar power can be implemented as an integrated approach whereby
all the energy needs of the water and wastewater sector could be
supplemented by renewable technologies, and in which a synergy can
be developed between water and energy.

Construction, as an industry sector, is responsible for around
one-third of the total worldwide energy usage and about 20% of
greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in the number of buildings and
floor space area for residential and commercial purposes has
imposed enormous pressure on existing energy sources.
Implementations such as efficient usage of building energy systems,
design measures, utilization of local energy resources, energy
storage, and the use of renewable energy sources to meet
electricity demands are currently under development and deployment
for improving the energy performance index. However, integrating
all such measures and the development of nearly zero-energy and
zero-emission buildings is yet to be explored. In this book, the
different control techniques and intelligent technologies used to
improve the energy performance of buildings are illustrated. Every
building energy control system has a two-fold objective for energy
and comfort requirements to achieve a high comfort index (for
thermal, visual, air quality, humidity, and various plug loads) and
increase the energy performance index. The most significant aspect
in the design of a building's energy control system is modelling.
All the components, methodologies, and processes involved in
developing a renewable energy-driven building are covered in
detail. This book is intended for graduates and professionals
working towards the development of a sustainable built environment
using renewable energy sources.
With the increase in the development of the advanced cellular
communication system, it is assumed that several sectors, such as

and so on, will rapidly grow. However, the requirements of the
above-mentioned sectors are different and difficult to fulfill.
Hence, 5G will be integral to several networks and will also need a
unique management system for its successful rollout around the
globe. 5G-Based Smart Hospitals and Healthcare Systems: Evaluation,
Integration, and Deployment provides an overview of the role of
advanced technologies in transforming the healthcare industry. It
emphasizes the technical requirements of smart hospitals and the
technologies associated with them along with explaining how
technologies such as IoT, machine learning, and AI can be
integrated with smart hospitals and 5G networks. The book evaluates
several concerns such as privacy of data, infrastructure costs, and
regular upgradability of technologies. Since the storage of
information is a major concern with the implantation of 5G-base
hospitals, this book will specifically address those issues along
with examining the potential pitfalls of 5G-based hospitals and the
factors that cause their failures. This book specifically targets
professionals, academicians, engineers, researchers, management
firms, technical institutes, R&D establishments, and
individuals researching in the fields of 5G, healthcare, medical
sensors, IoT, big data, and related fields. The main objectives of

There are a number of books on computational intelligence (CI), but
they tend to cover a broad range of CI paradigms and algorithms
rather than provide an in-depth exploration in learning and
adaptive mechanisms. This book sets its focus on CI based

analytics, and business intelligence. The intended audiences of
this book are scientists, professionals, researchers, and
academicians who deal with the new challenges and advances in the
specific areas mentioned above. Designers and developers of

Cyanobacteria, the ancient photoautotrophs on the Earth have always
been regarded as the most important organism to sustain life in the
planet. They are among the first pioneering communities on various
harsh habitat, hydrarch or xerarch, which finally facilitate the
emergence of vast communities including higher plants. Being the
progenitor of chloroplast, the cyanobacterial metabolisms has
always fascinated microbiologist. Additionally, the ability of
these prokaryotes to produce valuable and prolific sources of

Hyers-Ulam Stability of Ordinary Differential Equations undertakes
an interdisciplinary, integrative overview of a kind of stability
problem unlike the existing so called stability problem for
Differential equations and Difference Equations. In 1940, S. M.
Ulam posed the problem: When can we assert that approximate
solution of a functional equation can be approximated by a solution
of the corresponding equation before the audience at the University
of Wisconsin which was first answered by D. H. Hyers on Banach
space in 1941. Thereafter, T. Aoki, D. H. Bourgin and Th. M.
Rassias improved the result of Hyers. After that many researchers
have extended the Ulam's stability problems to other functional
equations and generalized Hyer's result in various directions. Last
three decades, this topic is very well known as Hyers-Ulam
Stability or sometimes it is referred Hyers-Ulam-Rassias Stability.
This book synthesizes interdisciplinary theory, definitions and
examples of Ordinary Differential and Difference Equations dealing
with stability problems. The purpose of this book is to display the
new kind of stability problem to global audience and accessible to
a broader interdisciplinary readership for e.g those are working in
Mathematical Biology Modeling, bending beam problems of mechanical
engineering also, some kind of models in population dynamics. This
book may be a starting point for those associated in such research
and covers the methods needed to explore the analysis. Features:
The state-of-art is pure analysis with background functional
analysis. A rich, unique synthesis of interdisciplinary findings
and insights on resources. As we understand that the real world
problem is heavily involved with Differential and Difference
equations, the cited problems of this book may be useful in a
greater sense as long as application point of view of this
Hyers-Ulam Stability theory is concerned. Information presented in
an accessible way for students, researchers, scientists and
engineers.

"These books present a comprehensive coverage of issues facing
wheat production globally. The authors represent the top scientists
involved in the diverse areas that are important for sustainable
wheat production and will this book provides an excellent resource
for those interested in wheat improvement and production." Dr
Hans-Joachim Braun, Director Global Wheat Program and CRP Wheat,
International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), Mexico
Wheat is the most widely cultivated cereal in the world and a
staple food for around 3 billion people. It has been estimated that
demand for wheat could increase by up to 60% by 2050. There is an
urgent need to increase yields in the face of such challenges as
climate change, threats from pests and diseases and the need to
make cultivation more resource-efficient and sustainable. Drawing
on an international range of expertise, this collection focuses on
ways of improving the cultivation of wheat at each step in the
value chain, from breeding to post-harvest storage. Volume 2
reviews research in improving cultivation techniques. Chapters in
Part 1 review topics such as variety selection, seed and root
growth, water and nutrient management. Part 2 goes on to discuss
broader issues such as sustainable intensification and organic
cultivation. The final part of the collection covers ways of
improving wheat cultivation in the developing world. Achieving
sustainable cultivation of wheat Volume 2: Cultivation techniques
will be a standard reference for cereal scientists in universities,
government and other research centres and companies involved in
wheat cultivation. It is accompanied by Volume 1 which reviews
breeding, quality traits, pests and diseases.
