Carbon membranes have great advantages of strong mechanical
strength and high chemical stabilities, as well as high separation
performance to reach the industrial attractive region. Further
improvement on membrane performance can potentially offset the
relatively high production cost compared to polymeric membranes.
However, there are still some challenges related to fabrication of
asymmetric carbon membranes, the controlling of structure and
pore-size and module up-scaling for commercial application. The aim
of this book is to provide the fundamentals on carbon membrane
materials for the young researchers and engineers to develop
frontier membrane materials for energy efficient separation
process. This book describes the status and perspectives of both
self-supported and supported carbon membranes from fundamentals to
applications. The key steps on the development of high performance
carbon membranes including precursor selection, tuning carbon
membrane structure and regeneration are discussed. In the end,
different potential applications both in gas and liquids separation
are well described, and the future directions for carbon membrane
development were pointed out. To this end, membrane science and
engineering are set to play crucial roles as enabling technologies
to provide energy efficient and cost-effective future solutions for
energy and environment related processes. Based on this approach
the research projects which are trying to find attractive carbon
materials in our days are many. The published papers, per year, in
the topic of carbon membranes, especially for biogas upgrading,
natural gas sweetening and hydrogen purification, are numerous with
very high impact. However, only few are the books which include
relevant to the topic of carbon membrane technology. This book
offers the condensed and interdisciplinary knowledge on carbon
membranes, and provides the opportunity to the scientists who are
working in the field of carbon membrane technology for gas and
liquid separations to present, share, and discuss their
contributions within the membrane community.

The book presents applications of stochastic calculus to derivative
security pricing and interest rate modelling. By focusing more on
the financial intuition of the applications rather than the
mathematical formalities, the book provides the essential knowledge
and understanding of fundamental concepts of stochastic finance,
and how to implement them to develop pricing models for derivatives
as well as to model spot and forward interest rates. Furthermore an
extensive overview of the associated literature is presented and
its relevance and applicability are discussed. Most of the key
concepts are covered including Ito's Lemma, martingales, Girsanov's
theorem, Brownian motion, jump processes, stochastic volatility,
American feature and binomial trees. The book is beneficial to
higher-degree research students, academics and practitioners as it
provides the elementary theoretical tools to apply the techniques
of stochastic finance in research or industrial problems in the
field.
This book reflects the state of the art on nonlinear economic
dynamics, financial market modelling and quantitative finance. It
contains eighteen papers with topics ranging from disequilibrium
macroeconomics, monetary dynamics, monopoly, financial market and
limit order market models with boundedly rational heterogeneous
agents to estimation, time series modelling and empirical analysis
and from risk management of interest-rate products, futures price
volatility and American option pricing with stochastic volatility
to evaluation of risk and derivatives of electricity market. The
book illustrates some of the most recent research tools in these
areas and will be of interest to economists working in economic
dynamics and financial market modelling, to mathematicians who are
interested in applying complexity theory to economics and finance
and to market practitioners and researchers in quantitative finance
interested in limit order, futures and electricity market
modelling, derivative pricing and risk management.
