<br />********************************************************************
<br />
<br />The World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2014)
<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-2014 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-2014 include but are not confined to the
