  • Turbulence and Transition in Supersonic and Hypersonic Flows

    • 1st Edition
    • Johan Larsson + 1 more
    • English
    Turbulence and Transition in Supersonic and Hypersonic Flows explains how to understand and mathematically model these phenomena, with an emphasis on the unique challenges and features that the compressibility of the fluid introduces. This timely book responds to an increase in research interest in this topic, explaining how to use the latest numerical methods as well as providing important background theory. It covers both the problem of how a laminar boundary layer transitions to turbulence in the supersonic and hypersonic regime and the problem of how compressibility of a fluid affects turbulence.Compressi... flows are important in many areas of engineering, including external aerodynamics, internal flows in propulsion and power generation applications, flows in supercritical fluids, and many others.

  • Exhaled Breath Analysis

    Current Status, Challenges and Future Perspectives
    • 1st Edition
    • Artur Rydosz
    • English
    Exhaled Breath Analysis: Current Status, Challenges and Future Perspectives presents the exhaled breath analysis process, starting with the fundamentals and background, moving to current approaches and applications, and concludes with challenges the field faces, along with the future outlook. The exhaled breath analysis process (EBAP) is dynamically changing, resulting in hard to follow research and conference papers, very often not covering the actual process. The book informs the reader on how to prepare research in the field, how to design the measurement protocol, and how to use biomarkers for analyzation, as well as the applications available for clinical practice.Primarily written for biomedical engineers and medical doctors, the book is also useful for hospital technicians, as well as those in PhD level Medicine and Engineering courses.

  • Plant Pangenomes and Pangenomics

    • 1st Edition
    • Jen-Tsung Chen
    • English
    Plant Pangenomes and Pangenomics summarizes the current state of plant pangenomes and pangenomics as applied in a wide range of plant biology involving the subtopics of genome evolution, phenotypic evolution, population genetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. Explaining the resources and technologies of pangenomics with plant functional genomics, the book also presents precision molecular breeding of crops to produce improved stress-tolerance and climate-smart capacities in an attempt to improve growth, development, enhanced production, and quality. It covers key critical stressors, including temperature, salt, drought, pollutants, pests, fungi, bacteria, and viruses.This book is an complete guide for students, researchers, experts, and professors with its discussions on all aspects of pangenomes and pangenomics, from fundamental and advanced tools and current applications in the plant sciences to plant functional genomics, plant stress physiology, plant biotechnology, plant pathology, and plant breeding.
