RISC-V Microprocessor System-On-Chip Design is intended for a graduate or undergraduate course in microprocessor design. The reader will learn to design and optimize microprocessors and use them in a system-on-chip, applying contemporary design and verification tools. Much of the book describes detailed designs and tradeoffs for the functional blocks in and around a processor. RISC-V Microprocessor System-On-Chip Design is written to be accessible to an advanced undergraduate audience with limited background and will explain concepts from operating systems, VLSI, and memory systems as necessary. High school mathematics is sufficient preparation for most of the book, although the floating point and division chapters will be primarily of interest to those with a curiosity about computer arithmetic. Like Harris and Harris’s Digital Design and Computer Architecture textbooks, this book will appeal to students with easy-to-read and complete explanations, sidebars, and occasional humor and cartoons. The book comes with an open-source implementation and will include end-of-chapter problems to extend the RISC-V processor in various ways. Ancilliary materials include a GitHub repository with complete open-source SystemVerilog code, validation code in C and assembly language, and code for benchmarking and booting Linux.
Biochar for Environmental Remediation: Principles, Applications, and Prospects synthesizes state-of-the-art knowledge on biochar-based systems for environmental remediation. The book examines a wide variety of biochar applications for the remediation of inorganic, organic, microbial and emerging contaminants in various environmental media, including drinking water, industrial wastewater, urban stormwater, industrial and indoor air pollution, and contaminated lands and soils. Researchers, engineers and graduate students will find this to be a valuable reference for understanding opportunities for the use of biochar in environmental remediation as it fills the gaps in existing literature and offers a clear roadmap to guide future research.An increasing body of evidence shows that biochars have potential applications in environmental remediation of contaminants in soils, aqueous systems, and air pollution control. This book uses a systematic approach, covering biochar preparation, properties and characteristics, removal mechanisms, industrial applications, regeneration and disposal of spent biochar, lifecycle analysis and environmental and human health risks.
Boundary Layer Theory is a comprehensive introduction to the physics of the boundary layer, and the latest numerical methods for describing it. The increases in computing power of recent decades have expanded our capability to investigate complex fluid phenomena such as boundary layer turbulence, and research in this field has lead to important advances for aerospace, chemical, thermal, and hydraulic engineering among other areas.With worked examples and problem exercises in every chapter, this book helps readers to understand the physics of the boundary layer before going through the related numerical solutions, and moving on to the latest numerical methods as they are used in research globally.Topical research areas such as non-Newtonian fluid-boundary layers, effects of magnetohydrodynamics on boundary layers, and three dimensional boundary layer effects are all addressed, making this the ideal starting point for any fluids engineer approaching a research topic in boundary layer.
Aerosols and Precipitation Over Africa: Progress, Challenges, and Prospects provides a clear picture of the complex interactions between aerosols and precipitation over Africa. The text begins with a close look at aerosol distribution, observational and modeling techniques, and climate models. This is followed by an examination of the effect of aerosol on precipitation and the latest advances in aerosol-precipitation studies. The editors then review regional and largescale variability. Later chapters include a climatological assessment of aerosol and precipitation properties, projected changes in precipitation and cloud patterns, and expected challenges for the future.With these interactions confounded by the large-scale dynamical systems over the continent, this book will provide a much-needed, detailed understanding of the complex connections between aerosol and precipitation over Africa. It will be a valuable resource for environmental researchers, academics, and policymakers studying the latest developments in aerosols and precipitation over Africa.
