The chapter on characterization techniques has been expanded and includes new references to standards. The contents on circular economy, innovation management, roadmapping chapters have been largely augmented and updated. Finally, the chapter on hands-on experiments includes new set-ups on dye solar cells and supercapacitors.

A drawback of standard approaches to try and understand the world of feelings such as love, hate, fear, and anger plus consciousness via quantum concepts results from the old problem that Quantum Theory does not appear to be fully compatible with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

This book applies physical theories and models to determine the parameters for controlling the physicochemical properties of nanomedicines, including micelles, liposomes, and inorganic nanoparticles. Qualitative and quantitative relationships are established to provide guidance for nanomedicine design, characterization, and analysis.

This monograph proves that any finite random number sequence is represented by the multiplicative congruential (MC) way. It also shows that an MC random number generator (d, z) formed by the modulus d and the multiplier z should be selected by new regular simplex criteria to give random numbers an excellent disguise of independence.

This book is intended as a teaching tool for beginning graduate students and new researchers interested in two seemingly divergent themes whereby one theme deals with synchrotron X-ray scattering and laser cross correlation function techniques, while the other theme is concerned mainly with the use of electrospun nanofibers.

This book explains how various animals have adapted to extreme conditions, and why humans need animals and should protect them.

This book compiles selected publications authored or co-authored by the editor to present a comprehensive understanding of following topics: (1) fundamentals of thermodynamics, Materials Genome(R), and zentropy theory; (2) zentropy theory for prediction of positive and negative thermal expansions; (3) density functional theory and CALPHAD modeling; (4) computational tools; and (5) applications of computational thermodynamics. It is noted that while entropy at one scale is well represented by standard statistical mechanics in terms of probability of individual configurations at that scale, the theory capable of counting total entropy of a system from different scales is lacking. The zentropy theory provides a nested form for configurational entropy enabling multiscale modeling to account for disorder and fluctuations from the electronic scale based on quantum mechanics to the experimental scale based on statistical mechanics using free energies of individual configurations rather than their total energies in standard statistical mechanics. The predictions from the zentropy theory demonstrate remarkable agreements with experimental observations for magnetic transitions and associated emergent behaviors of strongly correlated metals and oxides, including singularity and instability at critical points and positive and negative thermal expansions, without the need of additional truncated models and fitting model parameters beyond density function theory. This paves the way to provide the predicted phase equilibrium data for high throughput predictive CALPHAD modeling of complex material systems, and those individual configurations may thus be considered as the genomic building blocks of individual phases in the spirit of Materials Genome(R).
