      Vertebrate Ichnology: Introduction, History, Methodology and Devonian-Neogene Tetrapod Tracks is a complete review and analysis of vertebrate trace fossils, including how vertebrate trace fossils inform our understanding of major evolutionary events. It covers all aspects of the vertebrate trace fossil record including tetrapod footprints, fish traces and other trails, burrows, nests and more. Each record is reviewed by prominent experts with extensive illustrations and can be used as a tool to solve problems of vertebrate biochronology and biogeography. Megabiases in the record are identified, and trace fossils applied to analysis and the understanding of major events in the evolutionary history of vertebrates.This is a useful daily reference for paleontologists and geologists; and teaching professors or other researchers working in trace fossils and related fields, including university and graduate students.

      Smart Prosumers within Smart Grids: Fundamentals, Methodologies, and Potential for Advancing the Energy Transition provides a primer on the technologies and opportunities of prosumer integration into smart grids. The book begins with a clear introduction to the essential concepts of both smart grids and prosumers, as well as their critical role in renewable energy integration. It then moves through a 360-degree analysis of opportunities for leveraging smart prosumer technology in the smart grid, from the micro (smart homes) to macro (smart distribution networks and interconnected smart power-gas grids).Methodologies to maximize the integration of renewable sources, including critical hydrogen technologies are considered, as well as the potential for smart prosumers to manager reliability challenges of renewable energy and constant change from the energy transition. Implications are considered across sectors, including regulatory, legal, economic, business, and transport infrastructure, and prosumer interactions with other actors such as DSOs, TSOs, retailers, and BPRs are analyzed.

      Flexible devices based on metal oxides: Achievements and prospects focuses on the integration of flexibility in electronic circuitry, sensing applications, energy conversion and storage, and environmental remediation. Flexibility in these applications offers great potential, especially in the areas of wearable sensors, solar cells, transistors, electronic skin, and human body monitoring. The book investigates flexible and wearable devices based on metal oxide nanostructures or thin films that are capable of bending, rolling, compression, and folding, all while maintaining their performance.Metal oxide nanomaterials display exceptional properties that include mechanical stress tolerance, high optical transparency, high carrier mobilities, wide band gap, high dielectric constant, and superconductivity, amongst others. In some cases, they are also earth abundant, environmentally benign, cost-effective, chemically stable, and compatible with low-cost wet-chemical synthesis routes. The focus of the book is on wearables manufactured using sustainable manufacturing methods and integrated into substrates that are flexible, inexpensive, recyclable, abundant, and lightweight, including polymer, textile, cellulose and cork substrates.
