Unlike thin tissues (e.g., skin) which has been successfully grown, growing thick tissues (e.g., bone and muscle) still exhibit certain limitations due to lack of nutrients (e.g., glucose and oxygen) feeding on cells in extracapillary space (ECS) region, or also known as scaffol…
Considerable research is being carried out into the parameters that affect catalyst performance in order to meet the latest emission regulations. The conversion efficiency and the durability of automotive catalytic converters are significantly dependent on catalyst flow performa…
This book gathers the proceedings of the 4th conference on Recent Advances in Engineering Math. & Physics (RAEMP 2019), which took place in Cairo, Egypt in December 2019. This international and interdisciplinary conference highlights essential research and developments in the fi…
This book features a selection of revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers who participated in the 26th World Congress on Engineering and Computer Science (WCECS 2018), held in San Francisco, USA, on October 23-25, 2018. Topics covered include engi…
This is the first book on elliptic quantum groups, i.e., quantum groups associated to elliptic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Based on research by the author and his collaborators, the book presents a comprehensive survey on the subject including a brief history of formu…
This book focuses on typical health services and remote monitoring methods, such as visual recognition and deep learning. Chiefly addressing the design and simulation of rehabilitation devices, and the evaluation of their effects on various diseases, it offers a valuable resourc…

This book focuses on mathematical theory and numerical simulation related to various areas of continuum mechanics, such as fracture mechanics, (visco)elasticity, optimal shape design, modelling of earthquakes and Tsunami waves, material structure, interface dynamics and complex …
This open access book focuses on robot introspection, which has a direct impact on physical human-robot interaction and long-term autonomy, and which can benefit from autonomous anomaly monitoring and diagnosis, as well as anomaly recovery strategies. In robotics, the ability to…
This book presents a selection of Prof. Matteo Campanellas writings on the interpretative aspects of quantum mechanics and on a possible derivation of Born's rule - one of the key principles of the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics - that is independent of any pr…
This book provides an overview of state-of-the-art implementations of quantum random number generators (QRNGs), and especially examines their relation to classical statistical randomness models and numerical techniques for computing random numbers. The reader - who ideally has a…
This contributed volume explores the applications of various topics in modern differential geometry to the foundations of continuum mechanics. In particular, the contributors use notions from areas such as global analysis, algebraic topology, and geometric measure theory. Chapte…
The second edition of this book has been extensively revised so that readers can gain ready access to advanced topics of mathematical physics including the theory of analytic functions and continuous groups. This easy accessibility helps to create a deeper and clearer insight in…
This book introduces advanced mathematical methods and techniques for analysis and simulation of models in mathematical epidemiology. Chronological age and class-age play an important role in the description of infectious diseases and this text provides the tools for the analysi…
This book addresses one of the most important unsolved problems in artificial intelligence: the task of learning, in an unsupervised manner, from massive quantities of spatiotemporal visual data that are available at low cost. The book covers important scientific discoveries and…
This book provides beginning graduate or senior-level undergraduate students in materials disciplines with a primer of the fundamental and quantitative ideas on kinetic processes in solid materials. Kinetics is concerned with the rate of change of the state of existence of a mat…
