Multiscale modeling is becoming essential for accurate, rapid simulation in science and engineering. This book presents the results of three decades of research on multiscale modeling in process engineering from principles to application, and its generalization for different fields. This book considers the universality of meso-scale phenomena for the first time, and provides insight into the emerging discipline that unifies them, meso-science, as well as new perspectives for virtual proces...

Algae are sunlight-driven cell factories, and can efficiently absorb CO2 and convert light energy to chemical energy such as lipid, starch and other carbohydrates and release O2. Algal feedstock is a promising resource for bioproduct production, given its high photosynthetic efficiency for producing biomass compared to conventional crops. Microalgae can be used for flue-gas and wastewater bioremediation. This book highlights recent breakthroughs in the multidisciplinary areas of algal biot...

Because of her background, she had been framed by her fiance and sister. Once she was reborn, the heavens had given her a similar identity. How was she going to use her 'resources' to take revenge this time?!

Using her new-found photographic memory, she covertly helps her hacker BFF with the police investigation of a savage serial killer on...

After her mother's abandonment of her son and the annulment of the marriage, the arranged marriage was also used as a ring, and Lin was not very satisfied with the result.That ice-cold face, she really did despise it. However, that person's face was cold on the surface, but his inner body was like a flame that ignited her within minutes. From then on, her entire life seemed to have been set on fire, catching her off guard.

This book presents the applications of nanomaterials and nanostructures in photovoltaic solar cells, elaborates how they can help achieve high photoelectric conversion efficiency, and introduces readers to the important work done in this field. It covers the basic physical properties of semiconductors and nanomaterials, as well as the formation and characteristics of the p–n junction and the heterojunction; the basic working principle and structures of nano photovoltaic cells; the importan...

The field of information technology continues to advance at a brisk pace, including the use of Remote Laboratory (RL) systems in education and research. To address the needs of remote laboratory development for such purposes, the authors present a new state-of-the-art unified framework for RL system development. Included are solutions to commonly encountered RL implementation issues such as third-party plugin, traversing firewalls, cross platform running, and scalability, etc.Addit...

This book offers a comprehensive framework for comparing Northeast Asia’s market-based climate and energy policies, integrating carbon market theories, empirical data from China, South Korea, Japan, and practical policy cases. It bridges theory and regional practice, analyzing how the three nations—at distinct development stages—design tools to balance emission cuts, energy security, and economic growth.It covers core mechanisms: China’s national ETS (the world’s largest, covering ...

Few countries have been so transformed in recent decades as China. With a dynamically growing economy and a rapidly changing social structure, China challenges the West to understand the nature of its modernization. Using postmodernism as both a global frame of periodization and a way to break free from the rigid ideology of westernization as modernity, this volume’s diverse group of contributors argues that the Chinese experience is crucial for understanding postmodernism.Collectiv...
