The Congress "Arsenic in the Environment" offers an international,
multi- and interdisciplinary discussion platform for research and
innovation aimed towards a holistic solution to the problem posed
by the environmental toxin arsenic, with significant societal
impact. The Congress has focused on cutting edge and breakthrough
research in physical, chemical, toxicological, medical,
agricultural and other specific issues on arsenic across a broader
environmental realm. The Biennial Congress "Arsenic in the
Environment" was first organized in Mexico City (As2006) followed
by As2008 in Valencia (Spain), As2010 in Tainan (Chinese Taiwan),
As2012 in Cairns (Australia), As2014 in Buenos Aires (Argentina)
and As2016 in Stockholm (Sweden). The 7th International Congress
As2018 was held July 1-6, 2018, in Beijing, P. R. China and was
entitled Environmental Arsenic in a Changing World. The Congress
addressed the broader context of arsenic research aligned on the
following themes: Theme 1: Arsenic Behaviour in Changing
Environmental Media Theme 2: Arsenic in a Changing Agricultural
Ecosystem Theme 3: Health Impacts of Environmental Arsenic Theme 4:
Technologies for Arsenic Immobilization and Clean Water Blueprints
Theme 5: Sustainable Mitigation and Management Arsenic in drinking
water (mainly groundwater) has emerged as an issue of global health
concern. During last decade, the presence of arsenic in rice,
possibly also other food of plant origins, has attained increasing
attention. This is particularly true in the Asian countries, where
the use of high arsenic groundwater as source of irrigation water
and drinking water has been flagged as severe health concern. This
has been accentuated by elevating arsenic concentrations in deep
groundwater recharged from shallow high arsenic groundwater, which
may have further detrimental effects on public health. Notably,
China has been in the forefront of research on arsenic
biogeochemical cycling, health effects of arsenic, technologies for
arsenic removal, and sustainable mitigation measures. The Congress
has attracted professionals involved in different segments of
interdisciplinary research on arsenic in an open forum, and
strengthened relations between academia, research institutions,
government and non-governmental agencies, industries, and civil
society organizations to share an optimal ambience for exchange of
knowledge.
This book discusses the formalization of mathematical theories
centering on complex analysis and matrix theory, covering topics
such as algebraic systems, complex numbers, gauge integration, the
Fourier transformation and its discrete counterpart, matrices and
their transformation, inner product spaces, and function matrices.
The formalization is performed using the interactive theorem prover
HOL4, chiefly developed at the University of Cambridge. Many of the
developments presented are now integral parts of the library of
this prover. As mathematical developments continue to gain in
complexity, sometimes demanding proofs of enormous sizes,
formalization has proven to be invaluable in terms of obtaining
real confidence in their correctness. This book provides a basis
for the computer-aided verification of engineering systems
constructed using the principles of complex analysis and matrix
theory, as well as building blocks for the formalization of more
involved mathematical theories.
This book elaborates the corrosion testing and assessment methods
for the aluminum alloy vessel in the service and internal
environment. The emphasis is placed on the research of general
materials corrosion characteristics, electrochemical protection
design, surface protection, coating and painting, etc. This book
helps readers to keep abreast of the whole technology system of the
corrosion prevention and control of aluminum alloy vessel,
especially the systematic engineering view of life cycle corrosion
control for the vessel is of particular interest to readers.

This is the first book on digital fingerprinting that
comprehensively covers the major areas of study in a range of
information security areas including authentication schemes,
intrusion detection, forensic analysis and more. Available
techniques for assurance are limited and authentication schemes are
potentially vulnerable to the theft of digital tokens or secrets.
Intrusion detection can be thwarted by spoofing or impersonating
devices, and forensic analysis is incapable of demonstrably tying a
particular device to specific digital evidence. This book presents
an innovative and effective approach that addresses these concerns.
This book introduces the origins and scientific underpinnings of
digital fingerprinting. It also proposes a unified framework for
digital fingerprinting, evaluates methodologies and includes
examples and case studies. The last chapter of this book covers the
future directions of digital fingerprinting. This book is designed
for practitioners and researchers working in the security field and
military. Advanced-level students focused on computer science and
engineering will find this book beneficial as secondary textbook or
reference.
This book addresses up-to-date urban health issues from a systems
perspective and provides an appealing integrated urban development
strategy based on a 10-year global interdisciplinary research
programme created by the International Council for Science (ICSU),
and sponsored by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and the United
Nations University (UNU). The unique feature of this book is its
"systems approach" to urban health and wellbeing: solution-oriented
for science and society and not purely theoretical, it can be
applied in the context of decision-making, and has the potential to
unlock cities' unused potential by promoting health and wellbeing.
Furthermore, the inter- and transdisciplinary urban issues
addressed in this book are examined from a cross-sectoral
perspective - e.g. the transport sector is addressed in connection
with air pollution, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and the
loss of productivity. The interconnected thinking to urban health
and wellbeing makes the book a particularly valuable resource.
Decision makers in city administrations and civil society
organizations from different geographical regions will find the
book an informative and inspiring guide for delivering towards the
goals of the New Urban Agenda, for which health can be the vital
indicator of progress. Graduate students and researchers will be
attracted by the case studies, systems methods and models provided
in the book.
