The Smart Grid represents an unprecedented opportunity to move the
energy industry into a new era of reliability, availability, and
efficiency that will contribute to our economic and environmental
health. During the transition period, it will be critical to carry
out testing, technology improvements, consumer education,
development of standards and regulations, and information sharing
between projects to ensure that the benefits we envision from the
Smart Grid become a reality. Today, an electricity disruption such
as a blackout can have a domino effect-a series of failures that
can affect banking, communications, traffic, and security. This is
a particular threat in the winter, when homeowners can be left
without heat. A smarter grid will add resiliency to our electric
power system and make it better prepared to address emergencies
such as severe storms, earthquakes, large solar flares, and
terrorist attacks. Because of its two-way interactive capacity, the
Smart Grid will allow for automatic rerouting when equipment fails
or outages occur. This will minimize outages and minimize the
effects when they do happen. When a power outage occurs, Smart Grid
technologies will detect and isolate the outages, containing them
before they become large-scale blackouts. The new technologies will
also help ensure that electricity recovery resumes quickly and
strategically after an emergency-routing electricity to emergency
services first, for example. In addition, the Smart Grid will take
greater advantage of customer-owned power generators to produce
power when it is not available from utilities. By combining these
"distributed generation" resources, a community could keep its
health center, police department, traffic lights, phone system, and
grocery stores operating during emergencies. In addition, the Smart
Grid is a way to address an aging energy infrastructure that needs
to be upgraded or replaced. This book shows that Smart Grids can
address energy efficiency, to bring increased awareness to
consumers about the connection between electricity use and the
environment, bring increased national security to our energy
system-drawing on greater amounts of home-grown electricity that is
more resistant to natural disasters and attack.

The reduction in nutritional quality of food due to microbial
contamination is a problem faced by much of the developing world.
To address contamination-related hunger and malnutrition, it is
crucial to enforce quantitative and qualitative protection of
agri-food commodities after harvesting, as well as to create low
cost, rational strategies to protect post-harvest losses and
nutritional properties of food products in a sustainable manner.

personalized food and nutrition, seafood nutraceuticals, meat
processing and product development, microbial enzymes for the
tenderization of meat, feruloylated oligosaccharides for human
health, and the role of microbial antagonistic in post-harvest
management of fruit. In addition, the book explores the role of
modern tools and techniques such as instrumentation,
nanotechnology, biotechnology, ultrasound in food processing and
