Direct access into cells' interiors is essential for biomolecular delivery, gene transfection, and electrical recordings yet challenging due to the cell membrane barrier. Recently, molecular delivery using vertical nanowires (NWs) has been demonstrated introducing biomolecules a large number of cells in parallel. However, microscopic understanding how when penetrate membranes still lacking, degree which actual penetration occurs controversial. Here we present results from mechanical...

Citizen Engagement for energy efficient cities and communities is a concept that well researched. Quite often in the context of smart city related technology paradigms infrastructures citizens must deal with. However, as becomes mainstream, assumption naturally passively shift with these changes. In any given sector business models are natural benefactors to nascent technologies from which revenues markets created. space there wide range innovations over citizen engagement strategies...

Abstract Among the myriad challenges facing humanity, air pollution and climate change emerge as most formidable existential threats to our future. Ironically, both these are direct fallouts of human activities such indiscriminate consumption consumer products/services burning fossil fuels. Purchase goods in 2024 is projected be excess $22.6 trillion worldwide. How consumers buy, use or dispose will profoundly impact all life on planet. Therefore, it an imperative embed sustainability every...

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the harmonics generated by driver circuitry reputed international brands energy efficient LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps. The explains how proper selection combination lamps consumers can help reduce harmonic emissions. also deliberates importance phase angle each component in managing emissions and it could be useful tool for circuit manufacturers as well Standard developers.

Industry experts have realised the importance of implementing reverse logistics (RL) for gaining competitive advantage. Although not prominent in all kinds industrial domains, RL is slowly becoming factor which can lead towards organisational With organisations constantly looking greater profit margins and better operational performances, one way through it be achieved investments information systems (IS). This study, a series regression analysis, makes an effort to create road map by...

Climate change poses one of the greatest challenges any kind facing human society today. It is a threat to availability land, air, food and water – all which are key constituents Sustainable Development Goals. Much observed in climate anthropogenic nature. Hence, it imperative for societies make positive contribution spreading greater public awareness engagement creating more sustainable world. Due lack reliable carbon footprint measurement system specific Indian conditions, robust...

Abstract India has made good progress toward meeting basic standards of access to safe drinking water, but improved planning methods are needed prioritize different levels and types water service needs for public investment. This paper presents a approach collecting, analyzing, mapping data at the village, block, district in Pune district, Maharashtra, India. The created mobile application collection by gram sevaks village level. It employed ranking developed with officers villages greatest...

Quality education and schools have a key role to play in the sustainable development of society. Unfortunately, many remote communities developing countries fail enjoy access quality due lack electricity, thereby interrupting regular school services villages. The main objective paper contributes understanding importance energy-education accord, aims curb social challenges prevailing Specifically, suggests technical intervention by designing hybrid renewable energy system for such schools....

The proliferation of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting technology should be a high-priority agenda item in the discourse on energy efficiency and power quality. Considering future penetration LED technologies, it is necessary to ensure that lamps are performing at most efficient level without compromising other interrelated issues.
