Photovoltaic electricity generation is a rapidly growing industry, and a key pillar of a decarbonised energy system. In modern solar cells, laser technology is used to form localised structures such as a selective emitter through doping or to locally ablate dielectric layers for…

Strongly coupled (or cross-diffusion) systems of parabolic and elliptic partial differential equations appear in many physical applications. This book presents a new approach to the solvability of general strongly coupled systems, a much more difficult problem in contrast to the…
This work traces the "civilizing" of manners in Western Europe since the Middle Ages, and shows how this was related to the formation of states and the monopolization of power within them. Originally published as two volumes: "The History of Manners" and "State Formation and Civ…
Fate and transport models are critical components in the determination of the exposure to and risk from hazardous contaminants. Analytical models are preferable because they are generally more accessible, more reliable, and require fewer computational resources. Surprisingly, un…
"Diffusion Models of Environmental Transport presents a useful set of modeling tools that can be used to define fate, transport, and exposure from sources of environmental contaminants. The models allow the evaluation of transient diffusive, advective, or reactive processes on t…
This work is concerned with the application of the theory of stochastic processes, of potential theory and of convex analysis to the optimal control of diffusions. Very general results of existence are proved for diffusions killed on a Borel set, for "dying" diffusions, for unid…
"Offering a materials science point of view, the author covers the theory and practice of adsorption and diffusion applied to gases in microporous crystalline, mesoporous ordered, and micro/mesoporous amorphous materials. Examples used include microporous and mesoporous molecula…
