Using case studies, this book encourages readers to view economic development through the lens of growing inequalities and disparities. The books main aim is therefore to direct the efforts of scholars, practitioners and policymakers to swiftly find the balance between the three pillars of sustainable development.

The operational theme permeating most definitions of the IoT concept, is the wireless communication of networked objects, in particular, smart sensing devices and machines, exchanging data a la Internet. In this book, a detailed look is taken at the fundamental principles of devices and techniques whose exploitation will facilitate the development of compact, power-efficient, autonomous, smart, networked sensing nodes underlying and encompassing the emerging IoT era.The book provides an understanding of nanoelectromechanical quantum circuits and systems (NEMX), as exemplified by firstly the uncovering of their origins, impetus and motivation, and secondly by developing an understanding of their device physics, including, the topics of actuation, mechanical vibration and sensing. Next the fundamentals of key devices, namely, MEMS/NEMS switches, varactors and resonators are covered, including a wide range of implementations. The book then looks at their energy supply via energy harvesting, as derived from wireless energy and mechanical vibrations. Finally, after an introduction to the fundamentals of IoT networks and nodes, the book concludes with an exploration of how the NEMX components are encroaching in a variety of emerging IoT applications.

Focuses on the new technologies and services enabled by 5G networks or broadband internet networks, including artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, augmented reality, Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous driving, blockchain solutions, and cloud solutions.

Focusses on recent technologies and applications of wireless power transfer (WPT) via radio waves in far field. The book also covers the history and future of WPT via radio waves, as well as safety, EMC and coexistence of radio waves for WPT.

ScopeThe journal covers security issues in cyber space and solutions thereof. As cyber space has moved towards the wireless/mobile world, issues in wireless/mobile communications will also be published. The publication will take a holistic view. Some example topics are: security in mobile networks, security and mobility optimization, cyber security, cloud security, Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine technologies.

A PhD is the start of the research careers, and these students are the backbone of Universities and research institutions. It is the opportunity for youthful energy and creativity to make global impact and train the future researchers to make a difference. However, the candidature can also be the period of confusion and regret because of lack of structure and understanding.Research Methods for Successful PhD is written to help the PhD students and other young researchers navigate their path through this phase that will give them a direction and purpose. It is a candid conversation and developed over the experience of supervising 30 research students and publishing 400 papers over 20 years. The book recognizes that every student is different and has unique circumstances. It teases out the fundamental questions that we forget to ask, the method of relating to the supervisor, discusses methods to improve communication skills and explains the how to get the work published.

Convergence security can be defined as the security created by merging the physical and information security or the combining security with other non-IT technologies. Convergence Security Journal is an open access journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of research articles, short communications, and review papers on all areas of convergence security. The primary objective is to publish a high-quality journal with free Internet-based access for researchers and other interested people throughout the world. Papers published by the journal represent important advances of significance to experts within security field. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers.The scope of Convergence Security is theory, applications, and implementations of convergence security. This includes, but is not limited to: Physical and Information Security Vehicular Networks Security Aviation Networks Security Maritime Networks Security Smart Home Security IoT Security Smart Grid Security Healthcare Security Infrastructure Security

Provides a practical overview and state-of-the-art advancements on several selected topics in the areas of power, RF, and mixed-signal integrated circuits and systems.

Investigates arts-based encounters in educational settings in response to a global need for studies that connect the cultural, inter-cultural, cross-cultural, and global elements of arts-based methods in education. In this extraordinary collection, contributions bring together diverse cultural and educational perspectives and include a large variety of artistic genres and research methodologies.

The purpose of this book is to publish the detailed analysis of each prospective and established maritime business sector. Sector experts working to a common template explain what these industries are, how they work, their prospects to create wealth and employment, and where they currently stand in terms of innovation, trends and their lifecycle.

In recent years, mathematical techniques applied to novel disciplines within science and engineering have experienced extraordinary growth. Advanced Mathematical Techniques in Science and Engineering focusses on a detailed range of mathematics applied within various fields of science and engineering for different tasks.

Contributes to the global debate on sustainability in higher education, and in particular to the transition of higher education institutions to a low carbon economy. The transition of higher education institutions towards a low carbon economy is aligned with the Paris Agreement, and with Sustainable Development Goal 13.

Covers numerous recent technological and research accomplishments in the area of nanomedicine and tissue engineering. This book follows recent trends in drug delivery systems, wound healing fields, cancer therapies, protection of teeth and also other health care systems.
