Definitive Guide to Arm Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 Processors
1st Edition
Joseph Yiu
English
The Definitive Guide to Arm® Cortex®-M23 and Cortex-M33 Processors focuses on the Armv8-M architecture and the features that are available in the Cortex-M23 and Cortex- M33 processors. This book covers a range of topics, including the instruction set, the programmer’s model, interrupt handling, OS support, and debug features. It demonstrates how to create software for the Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 processors by way of a range of examples, which will enable embedded software developers to understand the Armv8-M architecture. This book also covers the TrustZone® technology in detail, including how it benefits security in IoT applications, itsoperations, how the technology affects the processor’s hardware (e.g., memory architecture, interrupt handling, etc.),and various other considerations in creating secure software.
Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Composites
Synthesis, Characterisation and Applications
1st Edition
Sooraj M.P. + 3 more
English
Molecular Imprinted Polymer Composites: Synthesis, Characterisation and Applications covers the design of composite materials containing nanostructures and molecular imprinted polymers that has materialized the ever-sought out vision of homogeneous molecular imprinted polymers. The inherent high surface-to-volume ratio of nanostructures has served well in increasing the surface area of conventional bulk polymers. In recent decades, molecularly imprinted polymer nanocomposite materials have attracted much attention for their potential applications in the fields of separation science, sensing, drug delivery, waste water treatment and catalysis, hence this book provides a much needed update on progress.
Voids in Materials
From Unavoidable Defects to Designed Cellular Materials
2nd Edition
Gary M. Gladysz + 1 more
English
　 All materials have voids in them, at some scale. Sometimes the voids are ignored, sometimes they are taken into account, and other times they are the focal point of the research. Voids in Materials: From Unavoidable Defects to Designed Cellular Materials takes due notice of all these occurrences, whether designed or unavoidable defects. We define, categorize, and characterize the voids (or empty spaces in materials) and we analyze the effects they have on material properties. This second edition is an updated and expanded central reference for voids in materials and covers all types of voids, intrinsic and intentional, and stochastic and nonstochastic, and the processes and conditions that are needed to create them and is a valuable resource to students in the areas of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, physics, and chemistry, as well as scientists, researchers, and engineers in industry.

Nanomaterials for Soil Remediation
1st Edition
Abdeltif Amrane + 4 more
English
Nanomaterials for Soil Remediation provides a comprehensive description on basic knowledge and current research progress in the field of soil treatment using nanomaterials. Soil pollution refers to the presence of toxic chemicals in soil. Compared with air and water remediations, soil remediation is technically more challenging due to its complex composition. The synergy between engineering and nanotechnology has resulted in rapid developments in soil remediation. Nanomaterials could offer new routes to address challenging and pressing issues facing soil pollution. This book aims to explore how nanomaterials are used to cleanse polluted soils (organic compounds and heavy metal-contaminated soils) through various nanomaterials-based techniques (chemical/physical/b... techniques and their integrations).
