      Pulsed Laser-Induced Nanostructures in Liquids for Energy and Environmental Applications covers the fundamental insights on the mechanism of pulsed laser techniques by considering various experimental conditions to accelerate hypotheses that are appropriate for the production of efficient nanomaterials. From this book, readers will learn about the major advancements in the field of pulsed laser technologies, current applications, and their future impact. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of nanostructured catalytic materials via pulsed laser techniques, their use as energy- and environment-related applications, and their present trend in the industry and market. In addition, this book highlights the latest advances related to the application of these nanostructured materials produced via pulsed laser in liquid techniques in various energy (supercapacitor, batteries, and hydrogen production) and environmental remediation (wastewater treatment and conversion of waste into value-added product) processes. Recent progress on several kinds of both photo- and electroactive nanomaterials is reviewed, along with essential aspects that govern catalytic behaviors and corresponding stability. This book is a key reference for researchers, graduate students, and engineers working in the field of nanotechnology as well as materials scientists interested in renewable energy and environmental science.

      **2025 PROSE Award Finalist in Environmental Science**Applied Statistical Modelling for Ecologists provides a gentle introduction to the essential models of applied statistics: linear models, generalized linear models, mixed and hierarchical models. All models are fit with both a likelihood and a Bayesian approach, using several powerful software packages widely used in research publications: JAGS, NIMBLE, Stan, and TMB. In addition, the foundational method of maximum likelihood is explained in a manner that ecologists can really understand.This book is the successor of the widely used Introduction to WinBUGS for Ecologists (Kéry, Academic Press, 2010). Like its parent, it is extremely effective for both classroom use and self-study, allowing students and researchers alike to quickly learn, understand, and carry out a very wide range of statistical modelling tasks.The examples in Applied Statistical Modelling for Ecologists come from ecology and the environmental sciences, but the underlying statistical models are very widely used by scientists across many disciplines. This book will be useful for anybody who needs to learn and quickly become proficient in statistical modelling, with either a likelihood or a Bayesian focus, and in the model-fitting engines covered, including the three latest packages NIMBLE, Stan, and TMB.

      Radiogenic Isotopes Applied to Mineral Exploration: A Practical Guide assists mineral exploration geologists, students and professors in the field of metallogeny and ore deposits. This book provides information on radiogenic isotopes and their application to solve problems associated with mineral exploration surveys. It presents the basics to exploration geologists using radiogenic isotopes on establishing models for prospecting and creating new criteria for defining more favorable areas, reducing the exploration risk and saving financial investments. The discovery of new mineral deposits is becoming increasingly difficult, and the use of new techniques is required to find deep and covered deposits. Radiogenic isotopes have the potential to act as ore index, helping to define the most favorable zones for finding certain types of mineral deposits, hence minimizing exploration risks.

      Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion is a comprehensive series that discusses the composition and properties of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and introduces different sources of GHGs’ emission and the relation between GHGs and global warming. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of common technologies as well as novel research related to all aspects of GHGs makes this work an indispensable encyclopedic resource for researchers in academia and industry. Greenhouse Gases Storage and Transportation investigates in detail the methods of storage and transportation, their current status, novel strategies, and the conventional challenges. The book consists of four sections, the first three of which include various strategies employed in the storage and transportation of the major GHGs, namely, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Each section addresses recent advances, new concepts, and the economic assessment of storage and transportation facilities. The last section surveys the challenges that storage and transportation of GHGs may face and delves into the major problems of the pipelines that are employed for the transportation of the materials.
