Micro Fluidization: Fundamentals and Applications provides
background and history on micro fluidized bed research and
development, summarizes and analyzes the hydrodynamic
characteristics of gas-solid micro fluidized beds, and delves into
areas such as research results of delayed onsets of minimum,
bubbling and slugging fluidization regimes, as well as of the
advanced transitions to turbulent and fast fluidization regimes.
Based on these results, the wall effects - the key mechanism
resulting in the unique behavior of micro fluidization - are
analyzed. Other sections discuss gas and solid mixing
characteristics in terms of gas residence time distribution, gas
backmixing, and solids mixing. Final sections focus on
presentations of the so-called micro fluidized bed reaction
analyzer (MFBRA) - a powerful tool for catalyst screening, process
development, optimization of reaction parameters, studies of
reaction mechanism and kinetics, among many other purposes. The
book describes, in detail, the MFBRA's system design
characteristics, analytic methodologies and various applications in
thermochemical and catalytic reaction analysis.
This book reports on important nonlinear aspects or deterministic
chaos issues in the systems of multi-phase reactors. The reactors
treated in the book include gas-liquid bubble columns,
gas-liquid-solid fluidized beds and gas-liquid-solid magnetized
fluidized beds. The authors take pressure fluctuations in the
bubble columnsas time series for nonlinear analysis, modeling and
forecasting. They present qualitative and quantitative non-linear
analysis tools which include attractor phase plane plot,
correlation dimension, Kolmogorov entropy and largest Lyapunov
exponent calculations and local non-linear short-term prediction."

TheInternationalConferenceonWired/WirelessInternetCommunications(WWIC)was
held for the second time, following a successful start in 2002, in
LasVegas. The goal of
theconferencewastopresenthigh-qualityresultsinthe?eld,
andtoprovideaframework for research collaboration through focused
discussions that designated future research efforts and directions.
The number and the quality of submissions indicate that we are well
on the way to establishing WWIC as a major event in the ?eld of
wired/wireless internet communications. We received around 60
competitive submissions from Europe, North America, the Middle East
and the Far East. Each submission was reviewed by at least two
experts, although the majority received three or more reviews.
Based on this rigorous reviewing procedure, the International
Program Committee selected 26 submissions for presen- tion and
publication in the proceedings. Therefore, we should all expect the
quality of a selective conference in this volume. We hope you will
enjoy it. The papers selected for presentation at WWIC 2004 were
stimulating and of utmost interest. They were organized into eight
sessions: 1. Protocol engineering and energy ef?ciency in wireless
networks 2. Mobility management and mobile devices 3. Transport
layer and congestion control 4. Architecture, implementation and
experimentation 5. Network and protocol modeling 6. Wireless
network scheduling and analysis 7. Multimedia distribution and
group communication 8. Service discovery. We would like to thank
the authors for choosingWWIC 2004 to submit their results. We would
also like to thank all the members of the Technical Program
Committee, as well as the additional reviewers, for their effort to
provide detailed and constructive reviews
This book provides an introduction to the theory and practice of
cyber insurance. Insurance as an economic instrument designed for
risk management through risk spreading has existed for centuries.
Cyber insurance is one of the newest sub-categories of this old
instrument. It emerged in the 1990s in response to an increasing
impact that information security started to have on business
operations. For much of its existence, the practice of cyber
insurance has been on how to obtain accurate actuarial information
to inform specifics of a cyber insurance contract. As the
cybersecurity threat landscape continues to bring about novel forms
of attacks and losses, ransomware insurance being the latest
example, the insurance practice is also evolving in terms of what
types of losses are covered, what are excluded, and how cyber
insurance intersects with traditional casualty and property
insurance. The central focus, however, has continued to be risk
management through risk transfer, the key functionality of
insurance. The goal of this book is to shift the focus from this
conventional view of using insurance as primarily a risk management
mechanism to one of risk control and reduction by looking for ways
to re-align the incentives. On this front we have encouraging
results that suggest the validity of using insurance as an
effective economic and incentive tool to control cyber risk. This
book is intended for someone interested in obtaining a quantitative
understanding of cyber insurance and how innovation is possible
around this centuries-old financial instrument.
This monograph provides a tutorial on a family of sequential
learning and decision problems known as the multi-armed bandit
problems. In such problems, any decision serves the purpose of
exploring or exploiting or both. This balancing act between
exploration and exploitation is characteristic of this type of
""learning-on-the-go"" problem, in which we have to instantaneously
apply what we have learned so far, even as we continue to learn.
The authors give an in-depth introduction to the technical aspects
of the theory of decision-making technologies. The range is
comprehensive and covers topics that have applications in many
networking systems. These include Recommender systems, Ad Placement
systems, the smart grid, and clinical trials. Online Learning
Methods for Networking is essential reading for students working in
networking and machine learning. Designers of many network-based
systems will find it a valuable resource for improving their
technology.
