    • Martin Milanic + 2 more
    • English
    Discrete Mathematics provides key concepts and a solid, rigorous foundation in mathematical reasoning. Appropriate for undergraduate as well as a starting point for more advanced class, the resource offers a logical progression through key topics without assuming any background in algebra or computational skills and without duplicating what they will learn in higher level courses. The book is designed as an accessible introduction for students in mathematics or computer science as it explores questions that test the understanding of proof strategies, such as mathematical induction. For students interested to dive into this subject, the text offers a rigorous introduction to mathematical thought through useful examples and exercises.

  • Resource Recovery in Drinking Water Treatment

    • 1st Edition
    • Mika Sillanpää + 2 more
    • English
    Resource Recovery in Drinking Water Treatment concentrates on techniques and methods for water purification. The book develops a new approach—resource recovery—toward drinking water, including the role of methods (adsorption, membrane, ion – exchange, biosorption, coagulation, etc.) and nanocomposites (such as biochar, sludge-based composites, chitosan, polymer, magnetic particles, etc.) in water resource recovery. It provides an in-depth overview on emerging water treatment techniques and the resource recovery of materials during the treatment process. Finally, the book aims to introduce polluted waters as new and sustainable sources rather than seeing wastewaters only a source of hazardous organic and inorganic matters. This book is part of a three-volume set that stresses the importance of contaminated water remediation, including surface waters, municipal or industrial wastewaters, and waters as a new source of nutrients, minerals and energy.

    • English
    Resource Recovery in Municipal Waste Waters provides various municipal wastewater remediation methods and techniques to recover materials from such wastewaters. Sections cover the basic principles of resource recovery, along with the recovery of methane, phosphorous, electricity and metals. The volume covers comprehensive cutting-edge techniques for resource recovery and municipal wastewater treatment and reports on new findings in these areas. It also introduces polluted waters as new and sustainable sources rather than seeing wastewaters as a source of hazardous organic and inorganic matters. The main advantages and disadvantages of both wastewater/polluted water treatment and recovery are also discussed. This three-volume set stresses the importance of contaminated waters remediation, including surface waters, municipal or industrial wastewaters, treating these waters as a new source of nutrients, minerals and energy.

  • Resource Recovery in Industrial Waste Waters

    • Ali Khadir + 2 more
    • English
    Resource Recovery in Industrial Waste Waters provides a holistic approach for discovering and harnessing valuable resources from industrial wastewaters, the cutting-edge technologies required, and a discussion on the new findings. In three volumes, the books stress the importance of contaminated waters' remediation, including surface waters, municipal or industrial wastewaters and treating these waters as a new source of nutrients, minerals and energy. It introduces polluted waters as new and sustainable sources, rather than seeing wastewaters as only a source of hazardous organic and inorganic matters. Sections discuss wastewater treatment and recovery and contribute to generate a sustainable approach of wastewater by providing the main advantages and disadvantages of both wastewater/polluted water treatment and recovery.

  • Nanostructures

    Properties, Processing, and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Gaurav Verma
    • English
    Nanostructures: Properties, Processing, and Applications is oriented around the Structure-Property-P... and Performance lifecycle of materials development at the nanoscale. Through analogies and illustrations, the book explains the complex fundamentals in the areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology in an accessible way. The structures of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, hybrid, novel and natural nanomaterials are covered in depth to provide a broad-based understanding to the reader. The properties of materials are dependent on their structure; this is even more the case when nanostructures are examined. This book explains the major techniques for characterizing these properties. In order to control these properties, the synthesis of nanomaterials is essential. Hence a wide evaluation of processing of these materials with a focus on controlling size, shape, and structure is a focal point of the book. The second half of the book covers the major applications and performances of nanostructured materials, drawing comparisons with previous technologies for applications, highlighting the efficacy of nanoscale technologies vis-à-vis the conventional ones. This is an important information source for early career researchers and engineers wanting to understand the fundamentals of nanostructured materials, and what their major applications are.

Each NET is then discussed in detail, including the key elements of the technology, enablers and constraints, governance issues, and global potential and cost estimates.This book offers a complete overview of the field, thus enabling the community to gain a full appreciation of NETs without the need to seek out and refer to a multitude of sources.

  • Computational Intelligence Applications for Text and Sentiment Data Analysis

    • 1st Edition
    • Dipankar Das + 3 more
    • English
    Computational Intelligence Applications for Text and Sentiment Data Analysis explores the most recent advances in text information processing and data analysis technologies, specifically focusing on sentiment analysis from multifaceted data. The book investigates a wide range of challenges involved in the accurate analysis of online sentiments, including how to i) identify subjective information from text, i.e., exclusion of ‘neutral’ or ‘factual’ comments that do not carry sentiment information, ii) identify sentiment polarity, and iii) domain dependency. Spam and fake news detection, short abbreviation, sarcasm, word negation, and a lot of word ambiguity are also explored.Further chapters look at the difficult process of extracting sentiment from different multimodal information (audio, video and text), semantic concepts. In each chapter, the book's authors explore how computational intelligence (CI) techniques, such as deep learning, convolutional neural network, fuzzy and rough set, global optimizers, and hybrid machine learning techniques play an important role in solving the inherent problems of sentiment analysis applications.
