Challenges and Possibilities
1st Edition
Pardeep Singh + 3 more
English
Nano-Materials as Photocatalysts for Degradation of Environmental Pollutants: Challenges and Possibilities contains both practical and theoretical aspects of environmental management using the processes of photodegradation and various heterogeneous catalysts. The book's main focus is on the degradation of harmful pollutants, such as petrochemicals, crude oils, dyes, xenobiotic pharmaceutical waste, endocrine disrupting compounds, and other common pollutants. Chapters incorporate both theoretical and practical aspects. This book is useful for undergraduate or university students, teachers and researchers, especially those working in areas of photocatalysis through heterogeneous catalysts. The primary audience for this book includes Chemical Engineers, Environmental Engineers and scientists, scholars working on the management of hazardous waste, scientists working in fields of materials science, and Civil Engineers working on wastewater treatment.
Everyday Applied Geophysics 3
Refraction Seismic Methods
1st Edition
Nicolas Florsch + 3 more
English
Everyday Applied Geophysics 3: Refraction Seismic Methods covers the physical methods that permit the environmental exploration of the sub-surface in 1, 2, 3 or 4 dimensions (the latter for time-lapse in terms of physical environmental state and geometry). The book specifically addresses the methods feasible, accessible and affordable to all users and provides simple apparatus electronic diagrams, along with Internet open-source and free software links for data interpretation.
IImplanted Digital Prosthetics
1st Edition
Maxime Derian
English
Orthotic Digital Devices in the Human Body explores the once science-fiction concept of implanting a digital device to provide healthcare information. Since the first pacemakers were surgically implanted in the human body 60 years ago, there has been a significant increase in the different types of digital devices added to the body for eHealth purposes. This books provides a synthetic point-of-view of the different possibilities offered by this tools.
Clinical Engineering
A Handbook for Clinical and Biomedical Engineers
2nd Edition
Azzam Taktak + 3 more
English
Clinical Engineering: A Handbook for Clinical and Biomedical Engineers, Second Edition, helps professionals and students in clinical engineering successfully deploy medical technologies. The book provides a broad reference to the core elements of the subject, drawing from a range of experienced authors. In addition to engineering skills, clinical engineers must be able to work with both patients and a range of professional staff, including technicians, clinicians and equipment manufacturers. This book will not only help users keep up-to-date on the fast-moving scientific and medical research in the field, but also help them develop laboratory, design, workshop and management skills. The updated edition features the latest fundamentals of medical technology integration, patient safety, risk assessment and assistive technology.
Mobilities Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events 2
Analysis of Adaptation Rhythms
1st Edition
Celine Lutoff + 1 more
English
Mobilities Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events 2 covers our need to understand how the interaction of hydro-meteorological... social and development dynamics combine to bring improvement to or a worsening of both mobile and immobile exposure. The book provides a summary of the interdisciplinary work done over the past ten years. Residential mobility—the way in which the occupation of flood zones evolves over time—and its resulting immobile exposure are also at the heart of this work. In addition, the book explores how climate change and its relation to fast floods in various regions of the world, especially the Mediterranean, is creating extreme events.
Weather to Energy
A Complex Voyage
1st Edition
Christopher Clack
English
Weather to Energy: A Complex Voyage synthesizes several vertically integrated disciplines, allowing new researchers to become involved in renewable energy studies. The book covers the basics needed to jump into the field, including sections on electrical load data and weather model data. The research on optimizing weather-driven renewable energies requires working knowledge of certain disciplines, such as economics, mathematics, atmospheric physics, statistics, fluid dynamics, power modeling and engineering. This book's aim is to inspire new research in renewable energy for interested scientists who may not have the required skills.
Blood Macro- and Microcirculation
1st Edition
Chaouqi Misbah
English
Blood Macro- and Microcirculation presents, in a pedagogical way, the tremendous recent progress achieved in the field of blood flow at both micro and macroscales, and with increasing complexities integrating physical, chemical and biological factors. It constitutes a unique backup of idea evolutions from the early 19th century to present day, along with the tremendous, recent progresses in experiments and simulations. Future challenges are also covered, constituting a plethora of major questions spanning the spectrum of fundamental and applied blood flow science.
The Discrete Element Method for Granular Solids
1st Edition
Bruno Chareyre
English
The Discrete Element Method for Granular Solids provides scientists and engineers with solutions to the basic problems of DEM modeling of granular solids, both conceptual and practical. To help new users, the book carefully follows important steps, from conceptual model, to the numerical simulation of dense granular materials. This includes contact models, numerical schemes, simulation setup and post-processing. The authors present many examples, including the complete code which assists the reader in reproducing the simulations with open-source code—Yade-DEM—that was developed by the author and his colleagues at the University of Grenoble.
Certifiable Software Applications 4
Upward Cycle
1st Edition
Jean-Louis Boulanger
English
Certifiable Software Applications 4: Upward Cycle presents the upward phase of development of a software application cycle, including test aspects for each unit level and the integration and validation of associated environments. Each check is explained through examples (checklist, scheduling policy, metric, etc.), and the book examines the fault analysis process that must accompany the production of the final version of the software plug.
Quantum Confined Lasers
Recent Advances
1st Edition
Frederic Grillot
English
