Modeling of Mass Transport Processes in Biological Media focuses on applications of mass transfer relevant to biomedical processes and technology—fields that require quantitative mechanistic descriptions of the delivery of molecules and drugs. This book features recent advances and developments in biomedical therapies with a focus on the associated theoretical and mathematical techniques necessary to predict mass transfer in biological systems.The book is authored by over 50 established researchers who are internationally recognized as leaders in their fields. Each chapter contains a comprehensive introductory section for those new to the field, followed by recent modeling developments motivated by empirical experimental observation. Offering a unique opportunity for the reader to access recent developments from technical, theoretical, and engineering perspectives, this book is ideal for graduate and postdoctoral researchers in academia as well as experienced researchers in biomedical industries.- Offers updated information related to advanced techniques and fundamental knowledge, particularly advances in computer-based diagnostics and treatment and numerical simulations- Provides a bridge between well-established theories and the latest developments in the field- Coverage includes dialysis, inert solute transport (insulin), electrokinetic transport, cellular molecular uptake, transdermal drug delivery and respiratory therapies

Thermoacoustic Combustion Instability Control: Engineering Applications and Computer Codes provides a unique opportunity for researchers, students and engineers to access recent developments from technical, theoretical and engineering perspectives. The book is a compendium of the most recent advances in theoretical and computational modeling and the thermoacoustic instability phenomena associated with multi-dimensional computing methods and recent developments in signal-processing techniques. These include, but are not restricted to a real-time observer, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), dynamic mode decomposition, Galerkin expansion, empirical mode decomposition, the Lattice Boltzmann method, and associated numerical and analytical approaches.

The fundamental physics of thermoacoustic instability occurs in both macro- and micro-scale combustors. Practical methods for alleviating common problems are presented in the book with an analytical approach to arm readers with the tools they need to apply in their own industrial or research setting. Readers will benefit from practicing the worked examples and the training provided on computer coding for combustion technology to achieve useful results and simulations that advance their knowledge and research.

Focuses on applications of theoretical and numerical modes with computer codes relevant to combustion technology Includes the most recent modeling and analytical developments motivated by empirical experimental observations in a highly visual way Provides self-contained chapters that include a comprehensive, introductory section that ensures any readers new to this topic are equipped with required technical terms

This book systematically addresses the security and resilience of networked agent systems, from sensor networks to general multi-agent systems, against evolving cyber threats.Distributed Security Monitoring and Resilient Cooperative Control explores techniques for distributed security monitoring to detect sparse attacks on sensors (location-fixed/varying and sparse-fixed/varying), Byzantine node/link attacks, and vulnerability-related attacks in heterogeneous sensor networks. It provides advanced solutions for finite/fixed-time monitoring convergence under nonlinear dynamics. Regarding resilient cooperative control of multi-agent systems, the book tackles the challenge of isolation against various attacks, such as false data injection and covert, non-collusive, and collusive attacks. Practical applications range from resilient smart grids and attack-resistant drones to self-healing infrastructures. Rigorous mathematical frameworks, including graph theory and matrix analysis, establish a principled link between theoretical guarantees and the security operations of real-world networked agent systems. These frameworks offer tools to fortify critical networks against unpredictable, unstructured attacks.This book will appeal to scholars, engineers, and practitioners involved in systems engineering, control theory, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.
