This book highlights the growing applications of THz technology and
various modules used for their successful realization. The enormous
advantages of THz devices like higher resolution, spatial
directivity, high-speed communication, greater bandwidth,
non-ionizing signal nature and compactness make them useful in
various applications like communication, sensing, security, safety,
spectroscopy, manufacturing, bio-medical, agriculture, imaging,
etc. Since the THz radiation covers frequencies from 0.1THz to
around 10THz and highly attenuated by atmospheric gases, they are
used in short-distance applications only. The book focuses on
recent advances and different research issues in terahertz
technology and presents theoretical, methodological,
well-established and validated empirical works dealing with the
different topics.
Optimality Conditions in Convex Optimization explores an important
and central issue in the field of convex optimization: optimality
conditions. It brings together the most important and recent
results in this area that have been scattered in the
literature-notably in the area of convex analysis-essential in
developing many of the important results in this book, and not
usually found in conventional texts. Unlike other books on convex
optimization, which usually discuss algorithms along with some
basic theory, the sole focus of this book is on fundamental and
advanced convex optimization theory. Although many results
presented in the book can also be proved in infinite dimensions,
the authors focus on finite dimensions to allow for much deeper
results and a better understanding of the structures involved in a
convex optimization problem. They address semi-infinite
optimization problems; approximate solution concepts of convex
optimization problems; and some classes of non-convex problems
which can be studied using the tools of convex analysis. They
include examples wherever needed, provide details of major results,
and discuss proofs of the main results.

Computational Intelligence for Wireless Sensor Networks: Principles
and Applications provides an integrative overview of the
computational intelligence (CI) in wireless sensor networks and
enabled technologies. It aims to demonstrate how the paradigm of
computational intelligence can benefit Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs) and sensor-enabled technologies to overcome their existing
issues. This book provides extensive coverage of the multiple
design challenges of WSNs and associated technologies such as
clustering, routing, media access, security, mobility, and design
of energy-efficient network operations. It also describes various
CI strategies such as fuzzy computing, evolutionary computing,
reinforcement learning, artificial intelligence, swarm
intelligence, teaching learning-based optimization, etc. It also
discusses applying the techniques mentioned above in wireless
sensor networks and sensor-enabled technologies to improve their
design. The book offers comprehensive coverage of related topics,
including: Emergence of intelligence in wireless sensor networks
Taxonomy of computational intelligence Detailed discussion of
various metaheuristic techniques Development of intelligent MAC
protocols Development of intelligent routing protocols Security
management in WSNs This book mainly addresses the challenges
pertaining to the development of intelligent network systems via
computational intelligence. It provides insights into how
intelligence has been pursued and can be further integrated in the
development of sensor-enabled applications.

This handbook is an endeavour to cover many current, relevant, and
essential topics related to decision sciences in a scientific
manner. Using this handbook, graduate students, researchers, as
well as practitioners from engineering, statistics, sociology,
economics, etc. will find a new and refreshing paradigm shift as to
how these topics can be put to use beneficially. Starting from the
basics to advanced concepts, authors hope to make the readers well
aware of the different theoretical and practical ideas, which are
the focus of study in decision sciences nowadays. It includes an
excellent bibliography/reference/journal list, information about a
variety of datasets, illustrated pseudo-codes, and discussion of
future trends in research. Covering topics ranging from
optimization, networks and games, multi-objective optimization,
inventory theory, statistical methods, artificial neural networks,
times series analysis, simulation modeling, decision support
system, data envelopment analysis, queueing theory, etc., this
reference book is an attempt to make this area more meaningful for
varied readers. Noteworthy features of this handbook are in-depth
coverage of different topics, solved practical examples, unique
datasets for a variety of examples in the areas of decision
sciences, in-depth analysis of problems through colored charts, 3D
diagrams, and discussions about software.

Tomorrow's nanoscientist will have a truly interdisciplinary and
nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in
chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. For this to happen,
the field needs a truly focused and dedicated textbook. This
full-color masterwork is such a textbook. It introduces the
nanoscale along with the societal impacts of nanoscience, then
presents an overview of characterization and fabrication methods.
The authors systematically discuss the chemistry, physics, and
biology aspects of nanoscience, providing a complete picture of the
challenges, opportunities, and inspirations posed by each facet
before giving a brief glimpse at nanoscience in action:
nanotechnology. This book is written to provide a companion volume
to Fundamentals of Nanotechnology. The two companion volumes are
also available bound together in the single volume, Introduction to
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Qualifying instructors who purchase
either of these volumes (or the combined set) are given online
access to a wealth of instructional materials. These include
detailed lecture notes, review summaries, slides, exercises, and
more. The authors provide enough material for both one- and
two-semester courses.

WINNER 2009 CHOICE AWARD OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE! Nanotechnology
is no longer a subdiscipline of chemistry, engineering, or any
other field. It represents the convergence of many fields, and
therefore demands a new paradigm for teaching. This textbook is for
the next generation of nanotechnologists. It surveys the field's
broad landscape, exploring the physical basics such as
nanorheology, nanofluidics, and nanomechanics as well as industrial
concerns such as manufacturing, reliability, and safety. The
authors then explore the vast range of nanomaterials and
systematically outline devices and applications in various
industrial sectors. This color text is an ideal companion to
Introduction to Nanoscience by the same group of esteemed authors.
Both titles are also available as the single volume Introduction to
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Qualifying instructors who purchase
either of these volumes (or the combined set) are given online
access to a wealth of instructional materials. These include
detailed lecture notes, review summaries, slides, exercises, and
more. The authors provide enough material for both one- and
