Handbook of Mineral Spectroscopy, Volume Two: Infrared Spectra, a Four Volume Set presents a database of Infrared spectra, showing both full spectra and high-resolution spectral regions with band component analyses of rock-forming and major ore minerals. IR of minerals is a very powerful technique for analyzing the different vibrational modes of minerals (in particular functional groups) but also the local environment of atoms in a crystal structure. The book includes a section on silicates and one on non-silicates, subdivided according to the normal mineral classes. This book is a go-to guide for anyone working with minerals and can be used for research and writing or as a handbook in the laboratory while running analyses of minerals.

Power-to-Gas: Bridging the Electricity and Gas Networks introduces the concept of Power-to-Gas (P2G) technologies in the Whole Energy System framework and related Vector-Coupling Technologies (VCTs). The boo provides a comprehensive approach to the economic, technical and environmental evaluation of P2G technology to make more effective use of the surplus power of renewable units. It covers converting electricity to hydrogen or methane, and the challenges, analytical solutions and future trends of P2G applications. Moreover, the reference features technology overviews and literature reviews in each chapter, along with concepts, appropriate definitions, fundamentals and contexts in the energy systems. Finally, modeling issues and requirements for analysis Gas and Power Vector-Coupling Technologies are presented and supported by real-world case studies and experimental examples. By uniquely analyzing issues from the whole energy system perspective, this book plays a pivotal role in supporting researchers and academicians in electrical, mechanical and energy engineering in their long-term decarbonization strategies.

Biopolymers: Synthesis, Properties, and Emerging Applications presents the state-of-the-art in biopolymers, bringing together detailed information on synthesis strategies, processing and cutting-edge applications. The book begins by introducing the synthesis, processing and structural and functional properties of smart biopolymers and bionanocomposites. Subsequent chapters focus on the synthesis and preparation of biopolymers with valuable properties or for specific advanced applications, including piezoelectric properties, shape memory properties, biodegradable polymer blends, synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials, synthesis of green biopolymers, and catalytic synthesis of bio-sourced polyesters and polycarbonate, as well as applications in active food packaging, water purification, biomedicine, 3D printing, and automotive. Throughout the book, there are analyses of different synthesis strategies and processing methods and their role and use in different fields of application, whilst the important challenges relating to scalable processing and shaping and micro and nano structuration are also discussed. The book also strives to balance the synthetic aspects of biopolymers with physical principles, highlighting biopolymer-based architectures including composite or hybrid conjugates, providing in-depth discussion of important examples of reaction mechanisms, and exploring potential applications of biopolymer and conjugates, ranging from physical to chemical and biological systems.

In Spectral Properties of Certain Operators on a Free Hilbert Space and the Semicircular Law, the authors consider the so-called free Hilbert spaces, which are the Hilbert spaces induced by the usual l2 Hilbert spaces and operators acting on them. The construction of these operators itself is interesting and provides new types of Hilbert-space operators. Also, by considering spectral-theoretic properties of these operators, the authors illustrate how “free-Hilbert-space” Operator Theory is different from the classical Operator Theory. More interestingly, the authors demonstrate how such operators affect the semicircular law induced by the ONB-vectors of a fixed free Hilbert space. Different from the usual approaches, this book shows how “inside” actions of operator algebra deform the free-probabilistic information—in particular, the semicircular law.
