Efficient Coating Materials for Magnetite Nanoparticles
The book explores the significant contribution of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as great adsorbents for the adsorption of multifarious pollutants from water sources. With the advance of technology, using magnetic nanoparticles has become one of the practical approaches to purifying water from various pollutants. The book provides an in-depth overview of the magnetic properties of nanoparticles, synthesis methods, and their applications in the adsorption of heavy metals, organic compounds, and other pollutants in water. Readers will get an insight into the essential aspects of this technology and how its adoption might enhance water quality for environmental sustainability and human health. This book is appropriate for researchers, scholars, and practitioners in environmental chemistry and water technology due to its comprehensive yet easily understandable discussions.
Cellulose Fibers: Bio- and Nano-Polymer Composites
Because we are living in an era of Green Science and Technology, developments in the field of bio- and nano- polymer composite materials for advanced structural and medical applications is a rapidly emerging area and the subject of scientific attention. In light of the continuously deteriorating environmental conditions, researchers all over the world have focused an enormous amount of scientific research towards bio-based materials because of their cost effectiveness, eco-friendliness and renewability. This handbook deals with cellulose fibers and nano-fibers and covers the latest advances in bio- and nano- polymer composite materials. This rapidly expanding field is generating many exciting new materials with novel properties and promises to yield advanced applications in diverse fields. This book reviews vital issues and topics and will be of interest to academicians, research scholars, polymer engineers and researchers in industries working in the subject area. It will also be a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students at institutes of plastic engineering and other technical institutes.
Courage at the Crossroads
Born to replace a brother he had never met was to be the first of many events that Andreas M. Vogiatzakis would later realize had shaped his life's purpose and became his guiding light. Every major crossroad he came upon by divine chance, unexpected and uninvited, requiring him to courageously choose his path. Despite growing up surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, becoming a farmer like his father was never his ambition. After the father's death, the son's life changed, irrevocably. From one extreme to the other, each decision stretched him further than he thought possible. Each occasion forced him to carve out his own space, adapting flexibly, moving forward with determination. From Crete to Athens, Florida to New York, Japan to Taiwan, to finally making his home in Malaysia. From hymns to math, long hair to corporate suits, and souvlaki to durian. From failures to awards, from building brands to establishing his own company, from adapting to cultures to creating culture. Leadership lessons abound in Andreas' life story. From a humble Greek kampung, he sets out on an international and internal journey to becoming a catalyst for positive change.

Agricultural Biomass Based Potential Materials
Agricultural biomass is abundant worldwide and it can be considered as alternative source of renewable and sustainable materials which can be used as potential materials for different applications. Despite this enormous production of agricultural biomass, only a small fraction of the total biomass is utilized for different applications. Industry must be prepared to take advantage of the situation and utilize the available biomass in the best possible manner. Agricultural biomass such as natural fibres has been successfully investigated as a great potential to be used as a renewable and sustainable materials for the production of composite materials. Natural fibres offer excellent specific pr...
User Science and Engineering
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on User Science and Engineering, i-USEr 2018, held in Puchong, Malaysia, in August 2018. The 32 papers accepted for i-USEr 2018 were selected from 72 submissions with a thorough double-blind review process. The selected papers illustrate how HCI is inclusive and omnipresent within the domains of informatics, Internet of Things, Quality of Life, and others. They are organized in the following topical sections: design, UX and usability; HCI and underserved; technology and adoption; human centered computing; HCI and IT infrastructure; and HCI and analytics.
Spatial Analysis
Spatial Analysis: Modelling in a GIS Environment Edited by PaulLongley and Michael Batty Digital data and information are usedincreasingly by academics, professionals, local authorities, andgovernment departments. Powerful new technologies, such asgeographic information systems (GIS), are being developed toanalyse such data, and GIS technologies are rapidly becoming partof the emergent world digital infrastructure. This book shows howcomputer methods of analysis and modelling, built around GIS, canbe used to identify ways in which our cities and regions might bebetter planned and understood. The contributors to this book areall actively involved in research using geographic informationsystem...
Charting the Sustainable Future of ASEAN in Science and Technology
This book showcases selected conference papers addressing the sustainable future of ASEAN from the perspectives of science and technology disciplines. In addressing the 17 Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs) envisioned by the United Nations in the domains of environment, health and well-being, posing potential means of reducing inequalities globally, the authors target specific issues and challenges confronting the fast-growing region of ASEAN and present suggestions for co-operation and commitment from governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and society at large, in line with the ASEAN Vision 2020. Papers are selected from the 3rd International Conference on the Future of ASEAN...
