Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Dr. Frank A. Felder, an Associate Research Professor, has been director of the School’s Center for Energy, Economic & Environmental Policy (CEEEP) since 2006. Frank is a nuclear engineer with a PhD degree from MIT, and he, along with his CEEEP colleague, Shankar N. Chandramowli, coauthored the main article in this issue of the Advance & Rutgers Report. CEEEP has worked extensively with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities on projects, including New Jersey’s current Energy Master Plan.Shining Brightly: Bloustein's Centers of Excellence / by James W.

Implementing enterprise metaverse as a means of enhancing growth hacking performance: Will adopting the metaverse be a success in organizations?
No full textThis study examines the factors influencing the implementation of the enterprise metaverse within organisations and aims to define how this implementation can assist organisations in achieving growth hacking. The study employed a mixed-methods research design, utilising structural equation modelling (SEM) and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques to analyse the framework. The results show that real-time analytics capability, operational excellence, industry pressure, and stakeholder pressure are significantly associated with enterprise metaverse implementation. The results also reveal that the success or failure of an enterprise metaverse largely depends on how it is implemented. In addition, potential and realised absorptive capacity are identified as significant moderators. This study provides a deeper understanding of organisational behavioural intentions towards the enterprise metaverse using the underpinnings of institutional theory
The impact of polymeric binder on the morphology and performances of sulfur electrodes in lithium–sulfur batteries
No full textIn this research work, three different polymers LiPAA, PVDF, and PEO were used as polymeric binders for the sulfur electrodes in Li-S cells. All electrodes had a high sulfur, loading similar to 4.0 mg per cm(2). The coincells were characterized by EIS and tested by constant current cycling and cyclic voltammetry using a standard electrolytic solution of LiTFSI in an ether mixture with LiNO3 as additive. The cycled sulfur electrodes were characterized by post-mortem SEM and N-2-sorption and compared to the pristine states. LiPAA-based cells showed the highest reproducibility of the electrochemical performances, the most limited specific capacity fading (at least twice smaller), and the better rate capability compared to PVDF- and PEO-based cells. The electrochemical data agreed with the post-mortem analyses of the different electrodes. The pristine electrodes showed similar morphologies and porosities independent of the polymeric binder used. Dramatic changes were observed for the PEO- and PVDF-based sulfur electrodes, in which a new dense morphology appeared after two and thirty cycles, respectively. Both PEO- and PVDF-based cycled electrodes were prone to delaminate from the current collector. In comparison, the morphology of the LiPAA-based sulfur electrodes remained mostly unchanged even after thirty cycles and no delamination behavior could be observed.The authors are grateful to Imerys Graphite & Carbon for providing the C-nergy Super-C65 and to Arkema for providing the Kynar HSV 900.

Contribution of Shankar Nighantu w.r.t. Vishahara Dravyas: A Review
No full textToxicity, which may be intentional, unintentional or accidental, is a grave problem throughout the world from ages. Advancements in the literature of Ayurveda address this problem by including the various treatments of toxicities, where Shankar Nighantu is one of them. Shankar Nighantu is a modern lexicon in Ayurvedic Materia Medica, originating in the 20th century and written by Shankar datta Gauda in the Hindi language. This lexicon based on Ayurvedic and Unani references, constructed in Hindi alphabetical order, is in three parts and contains vast information about the botanical characteristics, medicinal properties, and therapeutic indications of numerous plants, animals, and their products, as well as metals and minerals, aiding in the effective practice of this ancient healing tradition in contemporary times. Various Vishahara dravyas (Antivenom or Anti-toxic properties or Anti-poisonous drugs) are also listed highlighting the significance of toxicity treatment. Vishahara dravyas are elements that can prevent and eliminate toxins or poisons from the body. These elements play a crucial role in Ayurveda, which emphasises the importance of detoxification for maintaining health and treating diseases. Unani dravyas that are referred from ‘Makhjan’, are also mentioned as a unique entity as Vishahara property in this Nighantu. This Nighantu also includes various drugs used as folklore medicine. The author indicates various single drug as well as compound formulations to be used as antitoxic. Chuk, Hatthajodi, Chumbak patthar (Magnetic stone) are a few controversial and unexplored drugs that need further research for its antitoxic properties. This literary review aims to focus on the data found in Shankar Nighantu regarding various antitoxic drugs that is Vishahara dravyas. It will assist researchers and medical practitioners in gaining better insight about principle of treatment of toxicity

India’s Macroeconomic Performance and Policies since 2000
No full textThe paper reviews Indias macroeconomic performance and policies since 2000. The first section briefly summarizes key macroeconomic developments regarding economic growth, inflation, external balance, the fiscal situation and aggregate savings and investment. The second section considers some of the challenges posed to macroeconomic management in this period and the efficacy of the policy responses adopted. In particular, it analyses the progress in fiscal consolidation and the policies adopted to deal with the challenge of the unprecedented surge in external capital inflows into India. The final section outlines some of the major macro policy issues that need to be addressed in the years ahead, including : the resurgence of high fiscal deficits; the issues relating to external convertibility and exchange rate management; the role of the Reserve Bank of India in macroeconomic policy and coping with a weak international economic environment.economic growth, inflation, Fiscal Policy, savings and investment, Capital Inflows, exchange rate policy, central bank role
Underrated yet successful! A framework of invisible-disabled underdog entrepreneurs
No full textDespite evidence that invisible disability is pervasive, management research combining both disability and entrepreneurship strands has devoted scant attention to it. Based on challenge-based entrepreneurship theory, we attempt to close the gap in this emerging literature by conceptualizing an integrative framework juxtaposing underdog entrepreneurship and invisible disability. Using case study method, we investigate to find the journey including motivations and impediments faced by invisible-disabled underdog entrepreneurs. Findings of our enquiry suggest that there is an urgent need to accelerate invisible disability research toward a more productive exercise of mainstreaming them as a strategic asset in society. We conclude by indicating policy and managerial implications and finally, alluding to several potential research directions
