Studies in Smart Technologies – serie

This book is about the β-quantum inequalities. This book covers a range of generalized quantum inequalities in detail. It begins with the basic calculus of the β-quantum operator and then explores various types of inequalities. The content is presented in a straightforward manner and is aimed at senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in engineering and science programs. The book consists of six chapters, and almost all of the material is new and represents the authors' original work. The chapters are organized in a way that is easy to follow, and each chapter concludes with a section containing practical problems.

This book is a humble attempt towards exposition and utilization of value engineering, as an independent design plus production integrated scheme, with significant savings of material and efforts. The new industrial revolution that aims to conserve natural resources, prune down wastage, and spiral toward sustainable living is in perfect harmony with this rediscovered (and a bit reinvented) value engineering plus by authors. The book presents the remarkable system, well-established as value engineering or value methodology, developed by an iconic GE design Engineer, Lawrence Miles. It is a function-cost weighted approach and grounded in reality. The book discusses enhancement of a) creative thinking using techniques other than over-hyped brainstorming, b) including hands-on invention education in curricula from middle school to master’s degree level, c) finally, a sensitization towards, followed by importance of possessing Intellectual Property (patent/utility model) for any tangible process or product created.

This book explores the foundational principles and emerging advancements shaping modern computing, bridging theory and practice across technologies, transforming today’s world. It begins with an introduction to modern computer science before covering key topics such as generative AI, creative content generation, quantum computing, data analytics, and machine learning. Ethical aspects of AI are highlighted to encourage responsible innovation. Chapters on big data and data science show how large datasets drive insights. The book also examines blockchain, edge computing, and IoT, with applications in finance, health care, and logistics. Additional sections include robotics, cybersecurity, human–computer interaction, and cloud computing, emphasizing their roles in building secure, connected systems. Blending core and emerging concepts of computer science with case studies, the book equips students, researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts to navigate an evolving technological landscape.

In this book, the author challenges conventional probabilistic interpretations of quantum mechanics by introducing a framework of “qualified determinism” that reexamines the underlying principles of quantum theory.

This book explores various designs of wideband and circularly polarized slot-cut microstrip antennas realized using artificial neural network (ANN) modelling approach. The ANN modelling has been employed in variety of application in wireless domain. In this book, ANNs tools are used for design and predicting the antenna behaviour as well as tailoring designs as per specific frequency requirements. The book presents various designs employing regular shapes like, rectangular, circular and modified compact shapes like, semi-circular. The neural network approach used in this book achieves accurate antenna designs for wide frequency range and substrate parameters, based on the intended application, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of predictive modelling in developing the wideband and circularly polarized antennas.
