The book presents an overview of nonlinear effects arising in discrete lattices of metals. Topics covered include discrete breathers, quasi-breathers, soliton waves, and shock waves. Keywords: Soliton, Discrete Breathers, Quasi-Breathers, Shock Waves, Supersonic Waves, Molecular Dynamics, Self-Organization, Nonlinearity, Dislocation Extraction Algorithm, Frenkel Pairs, Stacking Fault Tetrahedra.
The book focuses on the effects of shock waves on vacancies and their clusters in fcc crystals. It is shown that high-speed cooperative atomic displacements represent a powerful tool for the purposeful modification of defect structures in crystalline bodies. The results are important for radiation material science, nano-engineering, the study of shock wave effects and the ultrasonic treatment of materials. Keywords: Computer Modelling of Nanopores, Molecular Dynamics, Fcc Metals, Defect Structures in Crystals, Radiation Material Science, Nano-Engineering of Materials, Ultrasonic Treatment of Materials, Radiation Induced Defects, Vacancy Clusters, Shock Wave Effects, Radiation-Resistant Materials, Thermomechanical Processing, Energy Transfer Mechanism, Nanopore Nucleation, Nanopore Based Filters, Nanopore Based Detectors, Cooling Elements in Nano-Electronics.
Nanotechnology has the potential to drastically transform the agri-food sector with its significant applications to improve agricultural productivity and the efficiency of agrochemicals. The food sector has benefitted from the inclusion of nanoparticles in food matrixes and the nanoencapsulation of nutraceuticals. Smart packaging materials designed with the help of nanotechnology have been used for increasing the shelf life of stored food products. Nanomaterials have been extensively used for the delivery of important agrochemicals to enhance their bioefficacy, prevent their degradation, and control their release. Various nanomaterials have been explored for remediation of arising environmen...
This book presents state of the art applications of artificial intelligence in energy and renewable energy systems design and modelling. It covers such topics as solar energy, wind energy, biomass and hydrogen as well as building services systems, power generation systems, combustion processes and refrigeration. In all these areas applications of artificial intelligence methods such as artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic and a combination of the above, called hybrid systems, are included. The book is intended for a wide audience ranging from the undergraduate level up to the research academic and industrial communities dealing with modelling and performance prediction of energy and renewable energy systems.

Solar energy conversion requires a different mind-set from traditional energy engineering in order to assess distribution, scales of use, systems design, predictive economic models for fluctuating solar resources, and planning to address transient cycles and social adoption. Solar Energy Conversion Systems examines solar energy conversion as an integrative design process, applying systems thinking methods to a solid knowledge base for creators of solar energy systems. This approach permits different levels of access for the emerging broad audience of scientists, engineers, architects, planners, and economists. Traditional texts in solar energy engineering have often emerged from mechanical o...
