In recent years, scientists and researchers have been continually
searching for efficient and effective ways to harness solar energy
for heat and power production. The development of solar
technologies and thermal systems are a prevalent area of study, as
they represent a vital step in fully optimizing the potential of
solar energy. Unfortunately, research is still lacking on the
development and application of these solar thermal systems.
Modeling and Optimization of Solar Thermal Systems: Emerging
Research and Opportunities provides emerging research exploring the
theoretical and practical aspects of optimizing the performance of
solar thermal technologies using multicriteria decision-making
techniques. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as
parabolic trough collectors, hybrid solar energy, and thermal
technology, this book is ideally designed for practitioners,
engineers, academicians, researchers, students, industry
professionals, and educators seeking current research on modern
modeling methods of solar thermal systems.

This book presents insights into the thermal performance of solar
thermal collectors using both computational and experimental
modeling. It consists of various computational and experimental
case studies conducted by the authors on the solar thermal
collector system. The authors begin by developing thermal modeling
using a case study that shows the effect of different governing
parameters. A few more experimental cases studies follow that
highlight the energy, exergy, and environmental performance of the
solar thermal collector system and to examine the performance of a
modified solar collector system, illustrating performance
improvement techniques. Finally, application of different
evolutionary optimization techniques such as soft computing and
evolutionary methods, like fuzzy techniques, MCDM methods like
fuzzy logic based expert system (FLDS), Artificial Neural Network
(ANN), Grey relational analysis (GRA), Entropy-Jaya algorithm,
Entropy-VIKOR etc. are employed.

Addressing the growing demand for larger capacity in information
technology, VLSI Micro- and Nanophotonics: Science, Technology, and
Applications explores issues of science and technology of
micro/nano-scale photonics and integration for broad-scale and
chip-scale Very Large Scale Integration photonics. This book is a
game-changer in the sense that it is quite possibly the first to
focus on "VLSI Photonics."
Very little effort has been made to develop integration
technologies for micro/nanoscale photonic devices and applications,
so this reference is an important and necessary early-stage
perspective on this field. New demand for VLSI photonics brings
into play various technological and scientific issues, as well as
evolutionary and revolutionary challenges?all of which are
discussed in this book. These include topics such as
miniaturization, interconnection, and integration of photonic
devices at micron, submicron, and nanometer scales.
With its "disruptive creativity" and unparalleled coverage of
the photonics revolution in information technology, this book
should greatly impact the future of micro/nano-photonics and IT as
a whole. It offers a comprehensive overview of the science and
engineering of micro/nanophotonics and photonic integration. Many
books on micro/nanophotonics focus on understanding the properties
of individual devices and their related characteristics. However,
this book offers a full perspective from the point of view of
integration, covering all aspects of benefits and advantages of
VLSI-scale photonic integration?the key technical concept in
developing a platform to make individual devices and components
useful and practical for various applications.

situations are also discussed.
The focus of financial analysis is on key figures in the financial
statements and the significant relationship that exists between
them. The analysis of financial statement is a process of
evaluating the relationship between component parts of financial
statements to obtain a better understanding of the position and
performance of a firm. The first task of the financial analyst is
to select the information relevant to the decision under
consideration from the total information contained in the financial
statements. The second step is to arrange the information in a way
to highlight significant relationships. The final step is
interpretation and drawing of inferences and conclusions. In brief,
financial analysis is the process of selection, relation and
evaluation. Keeping all this in view, the present book is devoted
to an in-depth analysis of financial statements and its use for
decision-making by various parties interested in them. The focus of
the book is on ratio analysis which is the most widely used
technique of financial statement analysis.

Social research is an academic activity to explain, analyze, and
understand a problem and find solution for it. A systematic
approach of collecting, organizing and analyzing the information
relating to a problem is adopted in a research. Research aims at
discovering new facts or verifying old ones to analyze their
sequence, inter-relationship, and causal explanation to understand
human behaviour. Therefore, the basic objective of social research
is to understand and clarify the behaviour of man and the various
forces or factors which influence him. Once the human behaviour is
influenced, this affects the social institutions. In fact, in
social research, the laboratory is the society and the objects are
the human beings. This book explains the methodology of social
research. It is divided into two parts. Part I describes the
various theoretical issues related to research, while Part II is
devoted to quantitative and other techniques to reach meaningful
conclusions to understand and solve social problems.

In the backdrop of the Coronavirus having wreaked havoc on nations
across the world and adversely impacting economic growth of
countries, the government and monetary authorities,such as the
Reserve Bank of India, stepped forward with conventional as well as
unconventional stimulus measures. This was the time for the
Government and fellow Indians to reboot, redraw, and reinvent the
wheel of progress, and paint a new standing in the World Economic
Order. Thus, in light of the above-mentioned macroeconomic scenario
existing in India in June 2020, the authors decided to continuously
examine the important measures and policies announced by the
Government and evaluate its impact on the country. Part 1 of the
book traces the preceding trends in the economic growth of the
country during 2010-20, the initial impact of the virus on the
Indian economy, the macroeconomic perspectives, including the
required fiscal measures through the very first post-pandemic
budget, i.e., for 2021-22, and the country's progress on the path
to economic recovery in the first quarter of 2022. Part 2
critically analyses policy initiatives undertaken by the Government
for achieving an Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India),
short-term and long-term structural reforms, agricultural reforms,
the six pillars on which the union budget 2021-22 has been
formulated, and bold measures like the proposal for asset
monetization of PSUs and government's re-think on retrospective
taxes. Part 3 lays out a roadmap of policy suggestions which
warrant government focus and attention to make India into a
self-reliant nation. These initiatives can help in achieving the
dream of doubling farmers' income and making India into a global
manufacturing hub. This section also discusses the importance of
cooperative federalism and challenges before the government in
making India into a self-reliant nation, especially in terms of
administrative machinery and the judicial system.

2D Materials contains the latest information on the current
frontier of nanotechnology, the thinnest form of materials to ever
occur in nature. A little over 10 years ago, this was a completely
unknown area, not thought to exist. However, since then, graphene
has been isolated and acclaimed, and a whole other class of
atomically thin materials, dominated by surface effects and showing
completely unexpected and extraordinary properties has been
created. This book is ideal for a variety of readers, including
those seeking a high-level overview or a very detailed and critical
analysis. No nanotechnologist can currently overlook this new class
of materials.
