Coffey and Kalmykov demonstrate how the concept of the equation of motion of a Brownian particle--the Langevin equation--may be radically extended to solve the nonlinear problems that arise in the
This book showcases the innovative research of Professor Skovgaard, by providing in one place a selection of his most important and influential papers. Introductions by colleagues set in context the h
Continuous-flow photochemistry is an expanding field within chemistry. It unites the mass transfer enhancement of flow chemistry with the high energy field density of microscale geometries. Moreover,
Optimization is now essential in the design, planning and operation of chemical and related processes. Although process optimization for multiple objectives was studied in the 1970s and 1980s, it has
This book is a monograph on harmonic analysis and fractal analysis over local fields. It can also be used as lecture notes/textbook or as recommended reading for courses on modern harmonic and fractal
The transformation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials from white to black using disorder engineering has meant a dramatic increase in their performance in photocatalytic experiments. The efficie
