Author : D.VIJAYA KUMAR |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : The agro-residues utilisation for energy generation is energy, agriculture and environment nexus. Andhra Pradesh and Odisha states generate large quantities of primary agro-residues, whose potential is more than 8200 MW. These residues are presently burnt openly, resulting in worse pollution. The issue of agro-residues power generation overlaps in the utilisation pattern required for Agricultural activity. A part of the agro-residues is also required for soil water Conservation and maintaining soil nutrient levels for sustainable production. A balance should be maintained for retention of these residues and diversion for alternate uses like energy generation. The resolution of the issues, constraints and guidelines for evolving suitable strategies based on the requirement for agriculture and energy generation are discussed in this paper for sustainable biomass power generation |

Author : WALTER TAKASHI NAKAMURA , ROGÉRIO PEREIRA DOS SANTOS AND FABRÍCIO MORAES DE ALMEIDA |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : Humans always had a need to communicate with each other. Privileged information needed to be hidden or coded so the communication could be accomplished without interception by third parties. This need arose the concept of data encryption. Today, with increased competition and the ease and speed with which information is transmitted, data encryption has become a priority for businesses and large corporations. More than ever the information has immeasurable value. Companies spend millions to obtain privileged information, just as invest millions in security to keep them in their possession. This unceasing search for information that can provide competitive advantages makes it necessary to develop more robust methods to ensure information security, including the use of Artificial Neural Networks, one of the areas of Artificial Intelligence. |
