This book describes in detail a research project dedicated to liquid-particle flow using ultrasound techniques. The project consists of theoretical, experimental, data science, finite element modeling, mechanical design and project management components. The objective of the project was to develop the ultrasonic methodology for measurement and characterization of liquid flow containing solid particles, in online (real-time) measurement conditions. The project consists of primary and complementary studies. The primary studies comprise development of the ultrasonic methodology for the simultaneous measurement of the average particle concentration and flow speed parameters. The developed methodology is based on the ultrasonic attenuation spectroscopy and the sound speed measurement methods, supported by data science programs. The complementary studies include acoustic streaming, designing a small-scale rotational test cell with an annular flow channel, testing it for various applications

This 5th edition of this popular graduate textbook, presents a balanced and comprehensive treatment of both time and frequency domain methods with accompanying theory. It includes numerous examples using nontrivial data illustrate solutions to problems such as discovering natural and anthropogenic climate change, evaluating pain perception experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging, and monitoring a nuclear test ban treaty. The R package 'astsa' has had major updates and the text will reflect those updates. In general, the graphics have been improved. New topics include random number generation, modeling and fitting predator-prey interactions, more emphasis on structural models, testing for linearity, discussion of EM algorithm is more extensive, Bayesian analysis of state space models and MCMC is more extensive (including new scripts in astsa), particle methods are introduced, stochastic volatility coverage is expanded, changepoint detection is introduced (new topic).The
