<br/>*********************************************************************
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>The World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2013)
<br/>is a multidisciplinary congress, bridging efforts across the natural,
<br/>social and engineering sciences, the environment and development
<br/>of communities. The congress covers a wide spectrum of topics
<br/>that relate to sustainability, which includes technical and non-technical
<br/>research areas. It also encourages sharing new knowledge in the field
<br/>of sustainable technologies and the environmental impacts.
<br/>
<br/>The mission of WCST-2013 is to provide the opportunities for
<br/>collaboration and reflection that have the potential to greatly enhance
<br/>the infrastructure and capacity for conducting and applying art,
<br/>science and technology for sustainability. The WCST bridges
<br/>the gap between academia and industry by creating awareness of
<br/>current development in sustainable technologies.
<br/>
<br/>The topics in WCST-2013 include but are not confined to the
