Abstract: The International Energy Agency wrote in 2006 that there were 2.5 billion people in developing countries (especially rural areas) that relied on biomass to meet their energy needs for cooking. They also continued that this figure would increase to over 2.6 billion by 2015 and 2.7 billion by 2030 (OECD/IEA, 2006). The 2012 World Energy Outlook projected that ?these numbers will have changed little by 2030? (OECD/IEA, 2012: 29). At the same time, the use of traditional ' open ' cookstoves is fuel inefficient and is estimated to contribute around a third of global carbon monoxide emissions, with black carbon particles and other pollutants in biomass smoke thought by many to exacerbate global climate change (UNEP, 2006).

Title: Barriers to Cookstoves.

Keywords: Barrier, Cook stove.
Abstract: Boiling Point issues have, for several years, explored and explained the health, environmental and gender factors associated with the use of traditional stoves and the burning of solid biomass. As new research continues to emerge, articles in our issues reinforce the belief that improved cookstoves (ICS) are designed to burn solid biomass more cleanly and efficiently, with positive effects on health, the environment, education and gender roles. However, an understanding and acceptance of the positive benefits of ICS does not and has not led to a successful uptake of clean cook stoves in many countries. Barriers to cook stoves have therefore been researched and discussed extensively. Yet despite the plethora of global research and practitioner experience, barriers to the uptake of ICS remain an insatiable topic.

Title: In the Cold Desert (Water Woes of Ladakhi Women)

Subject: Terra Green
Keywords: Cold, Desert, Water, Ladakhi Women.
Abstract: In the scorching mid-day heat, Tsewang Ladol steps into the courtyard outside her house and calls out loud to her neighbours, her dusty grey goncha (traditional Buddhist robe) and colorful skiraks tied around her waist flapping in the light breeze. Her voice carries easily across the silence of the mountainous Ladakhi desert, and four elderly women working in the fields in the distance look up in acknowledgement. Soon after, they are on their way up to Ladol ' s house, climbing the rugged path with practiced ease. With wrinkles lining their weathered faces, these Ladakhi women reflect a charming attitude that compliments the breathtaking landscape of this otherwise arid snow land. In this mute corner of the world, living in a village tucked away on the border of Ladakh ' s districts of Kargil and Leh, they pose a challenge to the patriarchal Indian society. On their toes all day long, the women work in the fields ensuring food security for their families and, in the process, creating a source of income in the village.

Abstract: Printing whole new organs for transplants sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but the real-life budding technology could one day make actual kidneys, livers, hearts, and other organs for patients who desperately need them. Scientists are reporting new understanding about the dynamics of 3-D bio-printing that takes them a step closer to realizing their goal of making working tissues and organs on demand.

Subject: Geothermal pilot power plant.
Keywords: Epithermal-style, Mineral textures, Brecciation, Veining, Alteration, Southern Gawler Ranges, SA.
Abstract: Epithermal deposits are important sources of gold and silver formed at shallow crustal levels (<1km) by hydrothermal systems driven by magmatic events. These commonly form in subaerial volcanic arcs, as well as in intra-arc, back-arc and postcollisional rift settings at temperatures > 300 ? C (Cooke and Simmons 2000; Hedenquist 2000; Simmons, White and John 2005). Associated magmas are generally calcalkaline to alkaline, ranging from basaltic andesite to dacite to rhyolite (Cooke and Simmons 2000; Hedenquist 2000; Simmons, White and John 2005).

Abstract: The NGSA was a collaborative program carried out by Gescience Australia and each of the state and territory geological surveys (de Caritat and Cooper 2011). The intent was to use an ultra-low density, overbank stream sediment geochemical surveying technique to produce the first broad-scale, analytically consistent, baseline dataset for the whole of the continent. The samples were termed ' catchment outlet samples ' as the pre-selected sampling sites, chosen to represent catchments of about 5000 km2 as closely as possible, were sampled at or near their basin outlets.

Abstract: Energy conservation Initiatives and the Implementation Measures is the collective responsibility of the Govt and the Industry. First the Govt needs to promote the ECON Initiatives to the industry & society by mandatory approach now and that is the need of the hour. All along, the Govt thro BEE was suggesting only, the ECON measures to the industry. The same Govt through BEE had thrust five star ratings of gadgets in the domestic & commercial segment and the point is driven home already.

Abstract: Green technologies has a very positive impact on the environment and it is very cost effective. The rise of environment friendly technologies is closely linked to the resource-conscious mindset that has emerged since the global oil crisis of the 1970s. In achieving the strategy for sustainable growth objectives, environment friendly technologies and energy efficiency will be a key as they apply cutting edge knowledge & non-technological innovations to improve existing products processes & business models.

Keywords: Eco Friendly, LED & CFL.
Abstract: LED lamps now compete with CFLs for high-efficiency house lighting. The desire to reduce electrical loading by using energy efficient lighting has resulted in a high level of interest in replacing conventional incandescent lamp with Compact Fluorescent Lamps and LED lamps. However, their high harmonic content was always a problem for the power quality of the power system networks, especially the ones with a considerable share of nonlinear loads.

Abstract: There were more than eighty professionals, mostly engineers, from IT industries and the topic was most relevant to their kind of work place, but not limited to such environment. Every day we do many things either knowingly or unknowingly & intentionally or unintentionally thinking these have no significance at all. In reality these activities have huge significance & can make remarkable impact when we talk about energy conservation without spending any money and with no compromise in comfort level.
