in biological species within flora for instance is dependent
on this biophotonic layer of interaction within atomic
and biomolecular structures. The book examines the phonon, the quantum of
acoustic, or vibrational, energy and alongside the photon. Hence the ‘biophonon’
sits aside the biophoton as an element within biological structures. Sounds can
create structure in the same way biophotons can use structure to communicate.

from movement to thought processes. Among the many mechanisms that
support these functions, spike timing is among the most powerful. This volume
examines the function of spike timing in sensory, motor, and integrative
processes. The first section of the book describes the foundation for quantitative
analysis and theory. It examines the information contained in spike timing, how
it can be quantified, and how neural systems can extract it. The second section
explores how input-output relationships are reflected in spike timing across a
range of sensory systems.

Edited by
Jianwen Jiang
National University of Singapore
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged
as a new family of nanoporous materials. With an
enormous choice of inorganic/organic building blocks,
MOFs possess a wide range of surface area, pore size, and functionality and,
thus, have been considered versatile materials for many potential applications.
This book presents a broad collection of recent modeling studies in the field of
MOFs toward potential engineering applications, such as gas storage/separation,
carbon capture, catalysis, water purification, and drug delivery. The subject of
this book renders it unique, for while the various topics on MOFs boast vast
literature, there is not yet a single coherent collection for modeling endeavors.
The book will appeal to scientists, engineers, and students in the multidisciplinary
intersections of materials science, chemistry, and engineering.

Most modern books on Einstein emphasize the genius of
his relativity theory and the corresponding corrections
and extensions of the ancient space-time concept.
However, Einstein’s opposition to the use of probability in
the laws of nature and particularly in the laws of quantum
mechanics are often portrayed as outdated. This book
takes a different view and shows that Einstein created a “Trojan horse” ready
to unleash forces against the use of probability as a basis for the laws of nature.

This book provides a rigorous treatment of spectral
analysis using Fourier-based techniques in the
geosciences, specifically geodesy and geophysics that
deal with global and regional spatial data. It emphasizes
spatial -frequency analysis for data on the plane and
sphere. It includes applications to stochastic processes on the plane and sphere,
which are important for many estimation problems that are based on some kind
of stochastic constraints in inverse theory. It also briefly outlines wavelet analysis,
although unusual, it is included to illustrate the contrast to traditional spectral
analysis, going more toward a time-frequency analysis.

increased complexity and nanometer-size features of modern ICs make them
susceptible to manufacturing defects, as well as performance and quality issues.
This book covers common problems in areas such as process variations, power
supply noise, crosstalk, resistive opens/bridges, and design-for-manufacturing
(DfM)-related rule violations. The book also addresses testing for small-delay
defects (SDDs), which can cause timing failures on both critical and non-critical
paths in the circuit.

The present wave of interest in quantum foundations
is caused by the tremendous development of
quantum information science and its applications to
quantum computing and quantum communication.
It has become clear that some of the difficulties
encountered in realizations of quantum information processing have roots at
the very fundamental level. To solve such problems, quantum theory has to be
reconsidered. This book is devoted to the analysis of the probabilistic structure
of quantum theory, probing the limits of classical probabilistic representation of
quantum phenomena.

Energy and Information Flow at the Nanoscale
Guenter Mahler
D. Yogi Goswami
ITP1 Universitaet Stuttgart, Germany
Why does the world around us typically look thermal—from cosmology down to
individual embedded spins? Is the transition between mechanical and thermal
systems gradual or discontinuous? Pertinent examples can be found in various
processes implemented on small quantum systems. Particularly attractive are
model systems that can be treated thermodynamically, but—to some extent—
also exactly, for example based on pure quantum dynamics. This possibility
opens the door to nano-thermodynamics. In this sense, the book aims at a
modern perspective of nanoscale applications, defined as a potential realization
of various functions as constrained by given resources.
Thoroughly updated and revised, this book provides
an engineering-based survey of modern solar energy
concepts and practical applications. Since publication of
the 2nd edition, in 2000, a number of major developments
have taken place in solar energy, which makes it essential to revise the book
completely. Changes in the energy policies in a number of countries in the world
have resulted in a rapid growth of solar energy systems deployment in the world.
Solar Photovoltaic systems have grown over the past decade at an average annual
rate of more than 30%. Because of the large investments required for these
systems, accurate knowledge of solar radiation resource has become essential. A

where to turn to find a result, a related inequality, or
the references to the information you need. It provides
a concise, alphabetical listing of each inequality-by
its common name or its subject-with a short statement of the result, some
comments, references to related inequalities, and a list of sources for further
information. The author uses only the most elementary of mathematical
terminology and does not offer proofs, thus making an interest in inequalities
the only prerequisite for using the text.

such as diamond, graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes
(CNTs), and others. The small mass of carbon atoms
provides high phonon frequency, high Debye temperature, and chances to high
superconducting transition temperature (Tc). Individual materials also provide
different mechanisms and chances to high Tc. Consequently, it is highly expected
that CBSCs will open the door to high-Tc superconductivity, for example, CuO2based SCs.

Carbon nanotubes offer huge potential in so many fields
due in part to their significant mechanical properties,
including extraordinary rigidity, resilience, toughness, and
flexibility. Mechanical deformation of carbon nanotubes is
known to cause considerable changes in their physical and chemical properties
through the nontrivial structure-property correlation. A strong understanding
of their deformation mechanism and available geometry is, therefore, crucial
to developing nanotube-based applications. This book concentrates on the
remarkable mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, covering theoretical and
experimental progresses from the last decade.

Release, Exposure, and Human Hazards
Billions of dollars in public funding have been spent on
novel nanomaterials, and the resulting products are
entering the consumer world now: new paints and coatings; electric cars powered
by nanomaterials in the battery, chassis, and tires; new renewable energy sources,
to name a few. But contrary to other disrupting technologies such as nuclear
energy or genetics, the scientific community has started to investigate the risks
associated with novel nanomaterials early in the development phase. Although
there are still gaps in our knowledge of the risks presented by nanomaterials, we
now know enough to describe scenarios that are too high-risk to implement as
well as scenarios for the safe use of nanomaterials. The goal of this book is to help
the reader in making such safely decisions.

KSB Consultant, Holte, Denmark
Under certain conditions, friction can lead to the formation
of new structures at the interface, including in situ tribofilms
and various patterns, which can reduce friction and wear. This book presents
a fresh perspective on friction and tribology by combining mechanical and
thermodynamic approaches. The authors show how friction-induced instabilities
and vibrations can lead to self-organized structures. They also explore how
understanding the structure–property relationships that lead to self-organization
can help engineers design “smart” biomimetic materials that are self-lubricating
and self-healing.
A significant number of research papers have been
published in the area of surface and colloid chemistry
since the third edition of this book was published in 2008. There have been a
number of new developments in the field, and this initiated the need for a new
edition of this handbook. In particular, surface chemistry is found to be of much
importance in both energy (such as fracking technology) and pollution control
(such as carbon dioxide capture technology).

Multifunctional Materials
for Tribological Applications
Nanotechnology
Commercialization
Edited by
Edited by
Robert J. K. Wood
Takuya Tsuzuki
University of Southampton, UK
As designs of machine components require
cheaper, lighter, smarter, longer-lasting, and more
environmentally friendly surfaces that see applications
that are hotter, faster, highly pressurized, and exposed
to other increasingly hostile environments, there is a need for engineering
surfaces to be multifunctional. This multifunctionality can be achieved by the use
of modern advanced materials and coatings. This is a challenging area because
usually there is antagonism between obtaining low friction and low wear as well
as between high corrosion resistance and low wear. This book focuses on the
increasingly important need for engineering surfaces to be multifunctional, with
a focus on tribological applications. It presents the state of the art and covers a
range of multifunctional coatings and materials that relate to a very wide range
of engineering applications.
In terms of commercialization, nanomaterials occupy
a unique place in nanotechnology. Engineered
nanomaterials, especially nanoparticulate materials, are
the leading sector in nanotechnology commercialization.
In addition, the nanomaterial sector has attracted much more heated debate than
any other nanotechnology sector with regard to safety, regulation, standardization,
and ethics. This is the first book on nanotechnology commercialization that deals
exclusively with nanomaterials. It provides overviews of the current trends in, and
the issues associated with, the commercialization of nanomaterials by some of
the foremost nanotechnology experts in their fields.
