India is one of the largest coal consumers in the world and imports costly fossil fuel [8]. Close to 74% of the energy demand is supplied by coal and oil. According to a report from the Center for monitoring Indian economy, the country imported 171 million tons of coal in 2013–2014, ...
Biomass energy, or bioenergy, is created when biomass is converted into electricity, heat, power, or transportation fuels. Because trees and plants can be grown, harvested, and re-grown in a short period of time, biomass is a renewable energy resource. Furthermore, this process generates residu...

Another similarity found in all three countries is their adherence to the IMF’s advice of a floating exchange rate. In the case of currency devaluation this can drive up prices of imported goods important for health, including medical supplies and medication, and can rapidly harm the entire hea...
Although automated analysis may not always be the cause, its need for massive data to fuel its machine learning algorithms increases the risk (and costs) of data breaches and makes such breaches more likely. To mitigate such risks, while at the same time still harvesting the power of ...

The world’s growing energy demand, as well as the negative impact of the world’s major source of energy, i.e., fossil fuel, on the environment, has led to global leaders finding other alternatives for our energy needs [1,2]. Additionally, issues such as price fluctuations in the energ...
During the global energy transition, fossil fuel is being substituted with renewables. The installed capacity of solar PV power plants across the world and the rates of energy they generate continue to grow almost exponentially, and the cost of electricity in new projects has already reached ...
