This book comprehensively reviews recent and emerging applications
of carbon nanotubes and graphene materials in a wide range of
sectors. Detailed applications include structural materials,
ballistic materials, energy storage and conversion, batteries,
supercapacitors, smart sensors, environmental protection,
nanoelectronics, optoelectronic and photovoltaics, thermoelectric,
and conducting wires. It further covers human and structural health
monitoring, and thermal management applications. Key selling
features: Exclusively takes an application-oriented approach to
cover emerging areas in carbon nanotubes and graphene Covers
fundamental and applied knowledge related to carbon nanomaterials
Includes advanced applications like human and structural health
monitoring, smart sensors, ballistic protection and so forth
Discusses novel applications such as thermoelectrics along with
environmental protection related application Explores aspects of
energy storage, generation and conversion including batteries,
supercapacitors, and photovoltaics This book is aimed at graduate
students and researchers in electrical, nanomaterials, chemistry,
and other related areas.
In recent years, a lot of work has been done in an effort to
incorporate Swarm Intelligence (SI) techniques in building an
adaptive routing protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs).
Since centralized approach for routing in MANETs generally lacks in
scalability and fault-tolerance, SI techniques provide a natural
solution through a distributed approach for the adaptive routing
for MANETs. In SI techniques, the captivating features of insects
or mammals are correlated with the real world problems to find
solutions. Recently, several applications of bio-inspired and
nature-inspired algorithms in telecommunications and computer
networks have achieved remarkable success. The main aims/objectives
of this book, "Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Bio-Inspired Quality of
Service Aware Routing Protocols", are twofold; firstly it clearly
distinguishes between principles of traditional routing protocols
and SI based routing protocols, while explaining in detail the
analogy between MANETs and SI principles. Secondly, it presents the
readers with important Quality of Service (QoS) parameters and
explains how SI based routing protocols achieves QoS demands of the
applications. This book also gives quantitative and qualitative
analysis of some of the SI based routing protocols for MANETs.
This edited book is a comprehensive compilation of principles,
conventional and molecular approaches used to develop improved
varieties and hybrids of major crops in light of their origin,
evolution, taxonomy, production and productivity and need by human
civilization. The book covers breeding prospects of all important
food and commercial crops. It highlights the importance of breeding
tools and techniques in ensuring food security. This book is of
interest to teachers, researchers, agriculture scientists, capacity
builders, and policymakers. Also, the book serves as additional
reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of
agriculture, soil science, and environmental sciences. National and
international agricultural scientists and policymakers will find
this book useful.
It is a pleasure to present the book provides a comprehensive and
up to date account of the EPR and Luminescence Studies on metal
ions and rare earth doped glasses. This book has been written in a
simple and lucid manner. The book only all inclusive dealing with
EPR and optical studies. This book continues to be a resource for
Optical Engineers, Researchers and Graduate Students. Every effort
has been made to make the treatment simple and comprehensive. The
topics are explained with the help of clear diagrams, S.I. units
are used throughout the book. In spite of our best efforts, some
errors might have crept. The authors do not take any legal
responsibility for such errors and omissions.
