A long flexible neutral polymer chain immersed in a poor solvent and interacting with an impenetrable attractive surface exhibits a phase known as surface attached globule (SAG) in addition to other adsorbed and desorbed phases. In the thermodynamic limit, the SAG phase has the same free energy...

In recent years, increasing efficiency in organic solar cells is due to the bulk heterojunction concept. Hybrid solar cell (HSC) based bulk heterojunction is flourishing in the field of solar cell. This device is the combination of inorganic and organic materials. The efficacy of the power...

Dry anaerobic digestion (DAD) is an attractive method for the stabilization of solid organic waste with high solid concentration (22–40%). This article provides different aspects for bio-energy production through dry anaerobic digestion suggested by different researchers. Basic fundamental...

Federal agencies often ask if Energy Savings PerformanceContracts (ESPCs) result in the energy and cost savings projected duringthe project development phase. After investing in ESPCs, federal agenciesexpect a reduction in the total energy use and energy cost at the agencylevel. Such questions...

We use the lattice model of directed walks to investigate the conformational as well as the adsorption properties of a semiflexible homopolymer chain immersed in a good solvent in 2D and 3D. To account for the stiffness in the chain we have introduced energy barrier for each bend in the walk and...

In Asia, small and medium scale industries (SMI) account for over 85% of the total number of manufacturing establishments, and contribute considerably to economic growth. They generally employ old and inefficient technologies, consuming high energy and generate pollution. They also lack...

Photovoltaic (PV) technology has recently evolved as an attractive option for rural electrification worldwide, particularly in the developing countries. However, a number of barriers need to be addressed for its widespread introduction. Capacity enhancement of institutions and individuals is...
