    Abstract "This new book provides an insightful look at the varied and exciting uses and applications of Wi-Fi and the Internet of Things in agriculture. With internet-enabled communications becoming more widely available, farms and agricultural establishments can take advantage of these new technologies for a wide range of farm operations, such as crop management, farm vehicle tracking, livestock monitoring, storage monitoring, and more. The collected data from these devices can be stored in the cloud system or server and accessed by the farmers via the internet or mobile phones. This book shows the many benefits to farmers from applying IoT, including better utilizing information for monitoring crops, optimizing water use, planning effective fertilization strategies, and saving time and reducing the operation expenses. Topics include using IoT for vertical farming, IoT-based smart irrigation system, landslide susceptibility assessment, automated aeroponics systems, crop survival analysis, and more. The volume also considers the challenges of IoT in agriculture, such as the requirements of applications of wireless sensor networks, the threat of attacks and the detection of vulnerabilities in wireless sensor networks, and more. Internet of Things for Agriculture 4.0: Impact and Challenges provides a better understanding of the time- and resourcing-saving benefits of wireless sensors and remote monitoring devices in agriculture. The volume will be useful for those involved in agricultural operations as well as scientists and researchers, and faculty and students in agriculture and computer and information science engineering."--

    Abstract To address the water scarcity problem, solar desalination by using solar still can be one feasible solution to purify the water. Researchers recently developed thermal absorption materials fully and partially submerged in water and floating. These thermal absorption materials transfer their absorbed solar energy to water through thermal conduction. However, direct contact of these thermal absorption materials with water will damage the material, reducing life. Here we developed a novel contactless nanostructure that is not in contact with water. The contactless nanostructure will first absorb the solar energy and then re-radiate the absorbed energy to water, resulting in water heating, evaporation, and condensation. Experimental results showed that the use of a vertical mirror of size 75 × 50 × 0.5 cm could able to enhance the productivity by 79.7% when synthetic saline water (3.5% Wt. NaCl) with 1-cm water depth was used inside the contactless nanostructure solar still (CNSSS) compared to without mirror. The salt deposition is completely prevented owing to the physical de-coupling of the nanostructure from water, resulting in a long lifespan of the nanostructure that can be used for years.

    Abstract One of the major sources of increased air pollution is the continuous and rigorous emissions from gasoline engines, which are generating a threat to our environment. Different methods are explored to reduce these emissions. Emissions are formed due to the incomplete combustion of fuel caused by the lack of oxygen content during combustion. Gasoline has no oxygen content so oxygen for the combustion process for a gasoline engine is derived from the intake air, resulting in incomplete combustion; however, additional oxygen can be supplied through ethanol blended with gasoline. Ethanol has the additional advantage of reducing harmful emissions when used a fuel in a spark ignition (SI) engine. On altering the fuel blending ratio in varying percentages the harmful emissions can be checked, which demonstrates the potential of using ethanol-gasoline blends. The aim of this review is to study and analyze the range of opportunities and future prospects for introducing blends of gasoline-ethanol, gasoline with all other alcohols, and derivative and subsequent alternative fuels in varying percentage ratios in existing SI engines by diagnosing various aspects such as air-fuel ratio, operating cylinder pressure, ignition timing and compression ratio related to the emission parameters only.

    Abstract Solar still, which uses solar renewable energy sources, especially solar energy, to produce pure water, is a promising technology as it is abundantly available and eco-friendly. Researchers have innovated in internal and external designs to enhance distillate productivity in solar desalination systems. The present review paper discusses the major internal modifications done in history and recent past to enhance the distillate output. Six sub-sections have been developed concerning historic internal modifications that discuss types of basin liners, water depth, stones, dyes, phase change materials, and weirs. It has been found that among all the historic internal modifications, phase change materials were the most effective with distillate yield enhancement of up to 80%. The limitation in distillate yield made the researchers to perform further modifications to enhance the productivity, and hence, recent internal designs have also been discussed. Recent internal modifications have six sub-sections: fins, wicks, nanofluids, nanostructures, dynamic modifications, and natural materials. Among the recent, dynamic modifications were the most efficient with productivity enhancement of up to 300%, with a maximum cumulative yield of 8.78 kg/m

Among the recent, dynamic modifications were the most efficient with productivity enhancement of up to 300%, with a maximum cumulative yield of 8.78 kg/m²/day for the rotating wick solar still compared to CSS which gave only 2.21 kg/m²/day. Such a kind of review work has not been performed till date, which covers all the internal design modifications in one paper exhaustively. Furthermore, gaps have been identified, and future perspectives have been presented in the conclusion section. It has been observed that nanostructures, nanoparticles, and dynamic modifications are the most promising internal modifications in recent times that can boost distillate productivity to a greater degree.

    Abstract Developing a compact, simple, and productive solar still is a main challenge. This paper describes a simple modification of the solar still that significantly enhances its productivity. A laboratory scale of modified single effect double slope glass solar still with the opaque triangular north wall has been developed and tested for enhancement of productivity in sunny days of the summer season in the month of April. The experiments on still have been carried out under three levels of water depths from 1 to 3 cm and compared it with the performance of conventional still of double slope single effect solar still of the same size. It is clear from the observations that opaque type still gave maximum distillate of 1793 ml at 1 cm depth of water while conventional still could produce only 1519 ml for the same depth of water. Also, for 2 and 3 cm depth of water, the opaque type still found to be more productive than conventional double slope solar still. As the former produced 1532 and 1464 ml while the latter produced 1328 and 1235 ml, for 2 and 3 cm depth of water, respectively.

    Abstract Agriculture is the main occupation of the majority of people in India. The majority of the population in India is dependent (directly or indirectly) on agriculture as an occupation. The agriculture sector requires more freshwater and power for better yield in the current scenario. Nevertheless, the ever-increasing rate of energy consumption, limited fossil fuels, and rising pollution have made the expansion of renewable resources essential. Due to the suitable solar potential available in India, the deployment of solar energy has been more as compared to other renewable resources. The current study aims to discuss the various technologies, initiatives and policies of solar energy usage in agriculture. This work delivers an assessment of the advancement of solar energy vis-à-vis agricultural applications through the greenhouse concept and photovoltaic approach in India. Various agricultural applications of solar energy, such as solar water desalination system, solar water pumping system, solar crop dryer system for food safety, etc. are discussed as a means to promote solar-based technology. It also highlights the scenario of solar energy in India with important accomplishments, developmental approaches, and future potential. In-depth studies of various policies and government initiatives including those in research and development are also discussed. The current survey on solar technologies will be an aid to agribusiness frameworks to comprehend the statuses, obstructions, and extent of advancement. Finally, some future recommendations for further developments in this approach are discussed. This work sheds light on varied areas of solar energy-assisted agricultural systems as a potentially sustainable and eco-friendly pathway.
