This book focuses on process simulation in chemical engineering with a numerical algorithm based on the moving finite element method (MFEM). It offers new tools and approaches for modeling and simulating time-dependent problems with moving fronts and with moving boundaries described by time-dependent convection-reaction-diffusion partial differential equations in one or two-dimensional space domains. It provides a comprehensive account of the development of the moving finite element method, describing and analyzing the theoretical and practical aspects of the MFEM for models in 1D, 1D+1d, and 2D space domains. Mathematical models are universal, and the book reviews successful applications of MFEM to solve engineering problems. It covers a broad range of application

The book aims at empowering readers with a clear understanding of multi-stage mechanism, different microactuators’ performances, their limitations to control system performance and problems encountered in control system design and techniques for solving these problems and dealing with these limitations.
This monograph focuses on the design, implementation and characterization of a concurrent dual band RF sensor for non-invasive detection of human vital signs. The developed prototype is tested, verified and analyzed for detection of occupancy of human beings in a room as a case study.
This book will cover main topics about the fundamentals and applications of nanofluidics. These would be nanofluidics, how it differs from classic fluid mechanics, as well as describing the methodologies of nanofluidics, including numerical approaches, e.g. molecular dynamics simulation and experimental techniques.
Nanomedicines and Nanoproducts: Applications, Disposition, and Toxicology in the Human Body provides a detailed overview of the disposition of nanoproducts within the body, with a special focus on the respiratory and olfactory routes of nanoproduct administration, buccal exposure and the ingestion of nanoproducts, the integumentary system (formed by the skin, hair, nails, and associated glands), the ocular route, the systemic route, and toxicology as it relates to the nanoscale world.
Offering an interdisciplinary, big-picture view of the current and future state of nanotechnology, this book:
Identifies key points for the entry of nanoproducts, nanomedicines, and other nanoscale structures into the body
Reviews the bodily administration and subsequent disposition
Nanostructured Materials for Smart Switchable Windows addresses different techniques and materials used in smart windows including basic principles, materials synthesis and thin film fabrication, and optical and electrochemical characterization techniques followed in laboratories and in industry.
NSTI's nanotechnology conferences have built a tradition of being the most prestigious forum in the world for leading nano scientists, and Nanotech 2010 is no exception. Top nano scientists offer an up-to-date global perspective on the latest developments in nanotechnology. More than mere proceedings, these volumes cut across every scientific and engineering discipline to provide the most complete record of current accomplishments in Nanotech. Information from past conferences has been compiled into authoritative and comprehensive compendiums and made available (along with pricing information) here on our site. Contents of the proceedings for this year's conference and expo are also available. A DVD is available containing both Nanotech and Cleantech proceedings.
This reference explores advancements in electrochemical processes, materials, and technology for electrochemical power sources environmental applications and health technologies. Established experts in their field detail advances playing a key role in new and future power sources,energy conversion and storage, new nanoscale materials, and sensors.

The book covers control and filtering problems for several classes of stochastic networked systems including stability, robustness, reliability, consensus performance, and/or disturbance attenuation levels within a unified theoretical framework. It derives sufficient conditions for systems to achieve the prescribed design requirements.
This book opens the door to the important subject of geoplasticity, to the engineering world of geomechanics beyond elasticity. It will be of interest to civil, geological and mining engineers, particularly those involved in reliable design of excavations and foundations beyond elasticity, especially in jointed rock.
This unique textbook focuses on building a theoretical foundation for understanding and applying numerical methods in engineering. Readers will learn to structure sequences of operations into programs in any language; this approach builds a deep understanding of the methods and how best to apply them, backed by numerous examples and problems.
The book presents new results on matrices, on polynomial matrices, on matrix polynomials and on the new compact, simple and elegant calculus that enabled the generalization of the transfer function matrix concept and of the state concept, the proofs of the new observability and tracking conditions.
