This book presents the basic and fundamental aspects of
nanomaterials, its types, and classifications with respect to
different factors. It contains methods of preparation and
characterization of unique nanostructured materials. Consisting of
six chapters, this book appeals to a wide readership from academia
and industry professionals and is also useful to undergraduate and
graduate students focusing on nanotechnology and nanomaterials,
sustainable chemistry, energy conversion and storage, environmental
protection, opto-electronics, sensors, and surface and interface
science. It also appeals to readers who wish to know about the
design of new types of materials with controlled nanostructures.
Although group theory has played a significant role in the
development of various disciplines of physics, there are few recent
books that start from the beginning and then build on to consider
applications of group theory from the point of view of high energy
physicists. Group Theory for High Energy Physicists fills that
role. It presents groups, especially Lie groups, and their
characteristics in a way that is easily comprehensible to
physicists. The book first introduces the concept of a group and
the characteristics that are imperative for developing group theory
as applied to high energy physics. It then describes group
representations since matrix representations of a group are often
more convenient to deal with than the abstract group itself. With a
focus on continuous groups, the text analyzes the root structure of
important groups and obtains the weights of various representations
of these groups. It also explains how symmetry principles
associated with group theoretical techniques can be used to
interpret experimental results and make predictions. This concise,
gentle introduction is accessible to undergraduate and graduate
students in physics and mathematics as well as researchers in high
energy physics. It shows how to apply group theory to solve high
energy physics problems.

Nanotechnology and Photocatalysis for Environmental Applications
focuses on nanostructured control, synthesis methods, activity
enhancement strategies, environmental applications, and
perspectives of semiconductor-based nanostructures. The book offers
future guidelines for designing new semiconductor-based
photocatalysts, with low cost and high efficiency, for a range of
products aimed at environmental protection. The book covers the
fundamentals of nanotechnology, the synthesis of nanotechnology,
and the use of metal oxide, metal sulfide, and carbon-based
nanomaterials in photocatalysis. The book also discusses the major
challenges of using photocatalytic nanomaterials on a broad scale.
The book then explores how photocatalytic nanomaterials and
nanocomposites are being used for sustainable development
applications, including environmental protection, pharmaceuticals,
and air purification. The final chapter considers the recent
advances in the field and outlines future perspectives on the
technology. This is an important reference for materials
scientists, chemical engineers, energy scientists, and anyone
looking to understand more about the photocatalytic potential of
nanomaterials, and their possible environmental applications.

This work investigates efficient searching mechanisms for searching
and retrieving software components across different remote
repositories and implements a supporting prototype called
"Component Repository Browser" using the plug-in based Eclipse
technology for PROGRESS-IDE. The prototype enables users to search
the ProCom components and to import the desired components from a
remote repository server over different protocols such as HTTP,
HTTPS, and/or SVN. Several component searching mechanisms and
suggestions were studied and examined such as keyword, facet-based
search, folksonomy classification, and signature matching, from
which we selected keyword search along with facet-based searching
technique to help component searchers to efficiently find the
desired components from a remote repository.

M&A failures is an established phenomenon. Human factors, such
as acceptance of and readiness for change at the individual level,
conflict of interest and cultural incompatibility are the key
attributes of the success or failure of a merger or
transformational change. Balancing theory with practice, this book
looks at the financial due diligence, cultural compatibility, and
emotional sensitivity at various stages of the M&A and offers a
practical process model. Business leaders, change agents, coaching
and mentoring practitioners will find the rare combination of great
interest.
