Wave Energy Convertors in Tropical Seas
Tay provides a comprehensive description of the state of the art for recent conceptual designs on the integration of wave energy convertor (WEC) systems with floating structures in tropical seas, discusses the unique environmental challenges, and provides a guide for readers to develop WECs that are optimised for both wave patterns and the structures to which they are attached.Through this book, readers will gain a deep understanding of the unique environmental characteristics of tropical climates, discover how WECs can be integrated into various floating structures, and learn how WECs can be adapted and optimised for use in tropical climates. This book also focuses on the hydroelasticity of large floating structures and how the structural deformation under wave action affects the energy generation of the WEC. Tay provides the theoretical formulation and numerical framework for the modelling of WEC systems when integrated with large floating structures. Different wave models and mathematical optimisation schemes are presented to enable readers to determine the best design and application parameters depending on requirements. In the book, Tay includes case studies to illustrate how power generation of the integrated WEC arrays can be enhanced. This includes power enhancement via sloshing resonance, wave run-up, structural deformation, and various optimisation schemes. These case studies offer reader practical guidance on applying the information in this book to real-world scenarios.The combination of presented case studies, discussion of the challenges of tropical seas, and design optimisation parameters make this book invaluable to researchers and industry players working on the concepts of power enhancement and integrated WECs on floating structures.
Composite Materials
The book starts with a novel unified approach to homogenization, and develops a general theory of microstructure-independent (exact) relations for composite materials that applies to most physical properties of interest, such as conductivity, elasticity, piezoelectricity, thermoelectricity etc. Its methods allow one to obtain a complete list of exact relations in each physical context of interest.

Introduction to Infinite-Equilibriums in Dynamical Systems
This book examines infinite-equilibriums for the switching bifurcations of two 1-dimensional flows in dynamical systems. Quadratic single-linear-bivariate systems are adopted to discuss infinite-equilibriums in dynamical systems. For such quadratic dynamical systems, there are three types of infinite-equilibriums. The inflection-source and sink infinite-equilibriums are for the switching bifurcations of two parabola flows on the two-directions. The parabola-source and sink infinite-equilibriums are for the switching bifurcations of parabola and inflection flows on the two-directions. The inflection upper and lower-saddle infinite-equilibriums are for the switching bifurcation of two inflection flows in two directions. The inflection flows are for appearing bifurcations of two parabola flows on the same direction. Such switching bifurcations for 1-dimensional flow are based on the infinite-equilibriums, which will help one understand global dynamics in nonlinear dynamical systems. This book introduces infinite-equilibrium concepts and such switching bifurcations to nonlinear dynamics.

Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics
Statistical mechanics is hugely successful when applied to physical systems at thermodynamic equilibrium; however, most natural phenomena occur in nonequilibrium conditions and more sophisticated techniques are required to address this increased complexity. This second edition presents a comprehensive overview of nonequilibrium statistical physics, covering essential topics such as Langevin equations, L矇vy processes, fluctuation relations, transport theory, directed percolation, kinetic roughening, and pattern formation. The first part of the book introduces the underlying theory of nonequilibrium physics, the second part develops key aspects of nonequilibrium phase transitions, and the final part covers modern applications. A pedagogical approach has been adopted for the benefit of graduate students and instructors, with clear language and detailed figures used to explain the relevant models and experimental results. With the inclusion of original material and organizational changes throughout the book, this updated edition will be an essential guide for graduate students and researchers in nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

Time
What allows us to share time with others? We instinctively understand the nature of time in practical terms based upon the opportunities it provides. We come across opportunities to do things in our everyday lives and we can take them or not. Much more rarely do we ask ourselves how they come about as an aspect of time. They are simply accepted.In Time: Continuity by Creation Bennison explores the nature of time using a common-sense approach. The path taken is one of progressive logic. By identifying fundamental and observable aspects of time which are related to its continuum and the present moment, the nature of its ongoing process is spelled out clearly and convincingly. Essential questions such as why time does not end are answered by a unique appreciation of cause and effect where creation is key.The nature of the Universe's growth is also established through a theory which approximately parallels that given for time. The logic of each complements the other and considered together additionally explain why everything is always moving and changing location spatially as we progress in time.Time: Continuity by Creation is a straight to the point and powerful work which has the potential to revolutionise the debate in regard to how and why time and the Universe exist.
Presolar Grains in Extra-Terrestrial Materials
Presolar Grains in Extra-Terrestrial Materials: Probing Stars with Stardust presents the latest research on presolar grains and their stellar sources in a cohesive resource for bringing researchers in cosmochemistry, astrophysics, and astronomy up to speed on the state-of-the-art developments, analysis, and future implications.
