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...

Solid Acoustic Waves and Vibration: Theory and Applications is an exciting new book that takes readers inside a fascinating subject. It is charming that there is a complex and delicate structure in characteristic values, which is revealed by introducing a conceptual system including space operator, space-time variable, reference Poisson's ratio, etc., and developing the analytical models for all limiting cases. The dispersion curves of waves in an elastic plate are determined completely, a...
