No doubt our rich cultural heritage and very extraordinary scientific development was some cumulative and exhaustive manipulations in each and every fact of our lives. Nowadays we have to be very efficient and able to use all these abundant sources of renewable energy to harness our economical and social growth without earning any ecological imbalances and concern to our unique planet Earth looking after each and every kind of life human, animal, plants as well as organisms. The Solar Power Satellites were used for collecting the solar power and then that energy is sent to Earth using Microwaves from the small antenna on the satellite to the very large area on the ground known as Rectenna. These SPSs delivers the power without disturbing Life-Cycle, environmental balance and Pollution level. SPSs receives the solar energy in intense form, Moreover Space is free from the day-night Cycles and changing Weather Problems. There can be various orientations for these SPSs like Geosynchronous, L1, L2, L3 Earth sun Lagrange Point which is specially used for the Scientific Purposes. SPSs need an enormous antenna and the ground station an ever larger Rectenna due to phenomenon of Diffraction. Energy from SPSs are reliable and better than the Wind, geothermal, Ground Based Solar Systems, Biomass and Nuclear Energy since it supplies Energy on large scale at Low cost and there are no associated problems like flooding, radiation, terrorism, waste Matter, acid rain, Carbon Di-Oxide and other GHGs etc. Since this form of Energy is transported by Power Lines, hence there is no fuel consumption and Thus It is clean form of energy too. So viewing all these benefits we could very well guess how profitable and futuristic it can be to achieve our objective to meet our Energy challenges without any concern over the Planet earth.","PeriodicalId":254761,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Space Technology Services and Climate Change 2010 (RSTS & CC-2010)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132256151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Climate change is therefore more than a problem with a feasible solution based either in science or markets on which we are likely to reach rapid consensus. Since the mid-20th century it has projected continuation. Earth is already showing many signs of worldwide climate change. One of the greatest challenges facing energy crisis is to replace the petroleum based diesel obtained from crude oil with more environmental friendly Bio-Diesel. Bio-Diesel is made from renewable resources, is bio-degradable and non-toxic and has a higher flash point than normal Diesel. Another significant advantage of Bio-Diesel is its low emission profile and also provides a means to recycle carbon-dioxide, thereby not contributing to global warming and climatic changes. Algal oil is an interesting sustainable feedstock for Bio-Diesel manufacturing. It is an alternative to popular feed stocks like soybean, canola and palm. Algae are the highest yielding feed stock for Bio-Diesel because of its high lipid content. Macro algae are multi cellular organisms which, like plants, use photosynthesis to convert the sun's energy into chemical energy. The viscosity of the raw oil has to be brought down by a suitable chemical process called transesterification, so that it can be used as an automobile fuel. It would be concluded that usage of Bio-diesel from algae would be a sustainable way to control of emission of green house gases in the atmosphere and there by controlling the drastic climatic changes. In this research, two macro algal species Gracilaria coticata and Chaetomorpha Antennina were studied for bio-diesel production and their results indicate that bio-diesel can be produced from both the species.","PeriodicalId":254761,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Space Technology Services and Climate Change 2010 (RSTS & CC-2010)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117000112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are due to unpredictable mobility of mobile nodes and each mobile nodes act as routers which discover and maintain routes, and forward packets to other nodes. We address the problem of replication in mobile ad hoc networks by exploring group mobility approach. Group mobility refer to the scenario where several mobile nodes are tends to move together. Group mobility approach is used to increase the data accessibility among mobile nodes through data replication and consistency group management. It also guarantees basic level of system performance, such as throughput, delay and reduces the networks traffic among mobile nodes.","PeriodicalId":254761,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Space Technology Services and Climate Change 2010 (RSTS & CC-2010)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126788860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A place or region's climate is determined by both natural and anthropogenic factors. The natural elements include the atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, while the human factors include land and resource uses. Changes in any of these factors can cause local, regional, or even global changes in the climate. In this paper, climate variability in Cuddalore district has been assessed through trend analysis of selected meteorological parameters. Statistical techniques have been used to detect and assess the climate variability in terms of rainfall and temperature. Cuddalore district is located between 11°11′ N to 12°35′ N latitude and 78°38′E to 80°00′ E longitude. Representative meteorological parameters have been statistically analysed over the Cuddalore district for 102 years (1901 to 2002) to detect temporal shift. The analysis shows mild increasing trend in rainfall and steep increasing trend in temperature in Cuddalore district. This may be attributed to emission of gasses, industrialization, urbanization and land use.","PeriodicalId":254761,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Space Technology Services and Climate Change 2010 (RSTS & CC-2010)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128862762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
