      Synthetic Media, Deepfakes, and Cyber Deception: Attacks, Analysis, and Defenses introduces the only analytical Synthetic Media Analysis Framework (SMAF) to help describe cyber threats and help security professionals anticipate and analyze attacks. This framework encompasses seven dimensions: Credibility, Control, Medium, Interactivity, Familiarity, Intended Target, and Evocation. Synthetic media is a broad term that encompasses the artificial manipulation, modification, and production of information, covering a spectrum from audio-video deepfakes to text-based chatbots. Synthetic media provides cyber attackers and scammers with a game-changing advantage over traditional ROSE attacks because they have the potential to convincingly impersonate close associates through text, imagery, voice, and video.This burgeoning threat has yet to be meaningfully addressed through any written treatment on the topic. The book is co-authored by three cyber influence and deception experts who have gained deep knowledge and experience on the topic through diverse, true operational pathways and backgrounds. The diversity and perspectives of the author team makes the content in the book the broadest and deepest treatment of synthetic media attacks available to readers.

      Enhanced Sampling Methods for Molecular Dynamics: Algorithms, Implementations, and Applications provides a single introductory resource for understanding enhanced sampling techniques for molecular dynamics studies of equilibrium and kinetics, discussing the theory, algorithm, and implementation of techniques for equilibrium studies, such as Umbrella Sampling, Replica Exchange, Generalized Ensembles, and Metadynamics. A similar discussion of methodologies for enhanced sampling for kinetics then follows. Ron Elber considers exact and approximate approaches of enhanced sampling, their speed, rate of convergence, and accuracy. He examines the necessary inputs of these approaches, such as prior knowledge of the reaction coordinate (or several coarse variables). The chapters consider path integral formulation, Weighted Ensemble, Transition Path Sampling, and Milestoning. Finally, simple, detailed examples illustrate the enhancements and prepare the reader for their use in more complex systems. Enhanced Sampling Methods for Molecular Dynamics: Algorithms, Implementations, and Applications is written primarily for computational chemists and biochemists (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) as well as computational and theoretical scientists who study molecular processes. Experimentalists in the biophysics and biochemistry fields, as well as practitioners in the drug and material design areas who use standard software tools to conduct MD simulations of their experimental systems will also find the book of interest.

      Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as the most used fluid, is the first and arguably best-known application in the field, as well as the first area where supercritical fluid technology has found an established industrial application. Today, scCO2 extraction is commercially applied in industries such as food (decaffeination of coffee and tea; extraction of hops, herbs, and spices; recovery of flavours and antioxidants; de-oiling of press cakes etc), pharmaceutical (extraction of herbal medicines), cosmetics (active ingredients for cosmetic preparations, fragrances). This book systematizes current knowledge in the field of scCO2 extraction. Beginning with a useful background introduction to supercritical CO2 and a summary of the fundamentals of supercritical fluids, the authors then clearly outline the ScCO2 extraction process and provide a range of key examples of its usage, such as extraction from plant, alternative (non-plant), agricultural and food by-products. Modelling approaches and scale-up guidelines are then presented, before the closing chapters look at integrated process, industrial applications, and examples of transition from research to industry, such as coffee decaffeination. Supercritical CO2 Extraction: From Basic Principles to Industrial Applications is written primarily for research and development scientists and masters or PhD students in chemical engineering, but also closely related areas of biotechnology, food engineering and technology, pharmaceutical chemistry, industrial and process engineering
