Designing Advanced Respiratory Protective Devices for Pandemics: Performance, Mechanism and Future Perspectives identifies emerging and critical issues that directly or indirectly influence the protective performance of Respiratory Protective Devices (RPDs), along with important future research directions. The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the vital role of respiratory protection provided by PPE (and RPD) in novel infectious respiratory disease control. A wealth of recent research on coronavirus mitigation measures is combined with prior information on infectious diseases, RPDs, and human physiological and psychological responses to make this a fundamental resource on recent advances, innovative perspectives on respiratory protection, and new applications.The effectiveness of such disease control measures rely greatly on the performance of the RPD, user compliance, and proper use. Only an interdisciplinary approach to this issue can lead to success.

Nonmetallic electroconductive textiles, unlike metals, offer flexibility, durability, moldability, and lightweight attributes. A brilliant quality of these textiles is the capability to alter conductivity through various external stimuli (e.g., strain, torsion, pH, humidity) to suit a specific application such as sensors, heating garments, EMI shielding, energy harvesting devices, and wearable electronics.Based on these concepts, Advances in Electrically Conductive Textiles: Materials, Characterization, and Applications has been structured into three main sections. Section I contains chapters discussing the various preparation methods of electroconductive textiles, Section II contains chapters on their characteristics and features, and Section III details the end-use applications and sustainability of these textiles.

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in production engineering and management, revolutionizing operation optimization, data analysis, forecasting, and task automation. In production engineering, AI contributes to operational efficiency by identifying patterns, predicting failures, and optimizing supply chains. In management, it offers predictive and prescriptive insights, allowing quick adaptations to changes in market conditions. However, it is essential to address ethical challenges, such as data security and workforce impacts, to ensure responsible and sustainable implementation of AI in these contexts.Among the different topics covered in Artificial Intelligence in Production Engineering and Management, the reader can find: living in the age of AI; machine learning and large language models; AI and people management; nudging financial behavior with AI; the European Union narrative on AI; multidimensional transhuman influence; and AI, emotional intelligence, and ethics. This topical book will be of great value for those working and researching in the production engineering and management fields who are seeking to understand and capitalize on the revolutionary shift that artificial intelligence brings to modern engineering and management.

Circular economy can serve as a key building block for the sustainability targets of manufacturing companies. Although the term itself has long been established, we see that proper implementation of a circular economy model across entire manufacturing value chains is still lacking and remains a challenge. However, there are clearly visible and good examples of circular economy standards which have already been applied and are generating value among multiple layers. Circular Economy and Manufacturing presents these and more, providing a roadmap of optimized, flexible, efficient, effective, and competitive green production strategies for the manufacturing industry and its multiple stakeholders.The volume proves to be an excellent springboard for further discussion and research into new frameworks of best practices in view of achieving more socially responsible and sustainable organizations in a not-so-distant future.
