This proceedings book features selected papers on 12 themes, including telecommunication, power systems, digital signal processing, robotics, control systems, renewable energy, power electronics, soft computing and more. Covering topics such as optoelectronic oscillator at S-band and C-band for 5G telecommunications, neural networks identification of eleven types of faults in high voltage transmission lines, cyber-attack mitigation on smart low voltage distribution grids, optimum load of a piezoelectric-based energy harvester, the papers present interesting ideas and state-of-the-art overviews.

Advances in Quantum Chemical Topology Beyond QTAIM provides a complete overview of the field, starting with traditional methods and then covering key steps to the latest state-of-the-art extensions of QTAIM. The book supports researchers by compiling and reviewing key methods, comparing different algorithms, and providing computational results to show the efficacy of the approaches. Beginning with an introduction to quantum chemistry, QTAIM and key extensions, the book goes on to discuss interacting quantum atoms and related energy properties, explores partitioning methods, and compares algorithms for QTAIM. Partitioning schemes are them compared in more detail before applications are explored and future developments discussed. Drawing together the knowledge of key authorities in the area, this book provides a comprehensive, pedogeological guide to this insightful theory for all those interested in modelling, exploring and understanding molecular properties.

This book deals with the structural vibration reduction making use of passive damping control techniques by means of surface treatments with viscoelastic materials. In fact, this kind of vibration control technique is largely utilised nowadays for several industrial applications, such as aeronautical and automotive components. In this context, this work involves a double objective. On the one hand, a classical and contemporarily relevant survey on different subjects concerning viscoelastic treatments is provided. On the other hand, two examples of application are shown.
