, Overview Of Technological Advancements
Micro and nano technologies have witnessed tremendous progress in the past few
decades, making significant contributions to many industries including electronics,i
biomedical, pharmaceutical, materials and manufacturing, aerospace, photography,i
and energy. These technologies have been used to develop petroleum industry
equipment that is much lighter, reliable, and long-lasting (Kong & Ohadi, 2010).i
All Nanomembranes, for instance, have been used for gas separation and removal
of impurities from oil and gas streams.i Smart fluids are being developed for
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and drilling, and nano sensors are providing more
detailed and accurate information about reservoirs,i Bioethanol is an attractive
eco fuel due to its environmental sustainability and renewability over fossil fuels.i
Second-generationbioethanol production,ispecifically cellulosic ethanol,ihas
gained attention at commercial scale over other feedstocks as it has no impact on
food security (Halder et al, 2019). Advances in bioethanol technology are being
made,i with improvements in pretreatment technologies,i genetically engineered
microorganisms,i single-process integration,i and the list goes on.i River current
energy conversion systems (RCECS) are electromechanical energy converters that
convert kinetic energy of river water into other usable forms of energy. Significant
progress has been made in RCECS technology, which includes innovative turbine
designs, power electronic systems, and the use of advanced materials (Khan et al,i
2008).i However,i the potentials of RCECS as an effective source of alternative
energy have yet to be fully explored,i and the underlying challenges of system
design,i operation and economics lack proper understanding and.i Reports on
technical and economic feasibility of RCECS have been published in the last
few decades, providing an overview of technological advancements in the field. In
addition, the use of carbohydrates as starting materials for chemical production
has seen considerable progress, with the review providing an updated evaluation of
potential target structures and an overview of the technology developments that
led to the inclusion of a given compound (Bozell, 2010).i
How have these advancements impacted society?
Machine Learning (ML)i and Artificial Intelligence (AI)i have experienced
tremendous advances in recent years,i and this has been further propelled by
advances in computing power, digital data, and algorithms. ML obtains a model of
non-linear relationships or complex patterns within data that are usually beyond
human capability or established physics to define. AI provides a framework for
