Additive Fertigung für Chemiewissenschaften und Chemieingenieurwesen
by Seeram Ramakrishna Suresh K. Bhargava Milan Brandt Pr. SelvakannanDieses Buch ist speziell für Forscher sowie Lehrende konzipiert, die einen Fortgeschrittenen-Fertigungs-Kurs in ihren Klassen unterrichten oder einführen. Es präsentiert den aktuellen Forschungsstand in diesem Forschungsbereich und die bisher identifizierten Hauptprobleme für die Integration der additiven Fertigung in chemische Prozesse. Die einzigartige Fähigkeit, Materialien mithilfe aufkommender additiver Fertigungstechnologien in funktionale Bauteile mit spezifischer Geometrie zu verwandeln, hat in Biologie, Ingenieurwissenschaften und Materialwissenschaften erhebliches Interesse geweckt, um maßgeschneiderte Designs für spezifische Anwendungen zu erstellen. Die Anwendungen dieses aufstrebenden Fertigungsverfahren im Bereich der chemischen Wissenschaften und des Ingenieurwesens sind im Anfangssdtadium. Daher liegt der Hauptfokus dieses Buches darauf, die grundlegenden Prinzipien der additiven Fertigungsverfahren sowie den Einsatz in konventionelle chemische Prozesse und verschiedeneVerfahrenstechniken einzuführen. Der potenzielle Vorteil der Anwendung dieser additiven Fertigungstechnologien besteht darin, großtechnisch chemische Prozesse herunterzuskalieren, was mehrere Vorteile bietet, darunter eine geringere Flächenbedarf, Abfallreduktion, effiziente Wärmeintegration und dezentrale chemische Fertigung. Was ist Additive Fertigung? Additive Fertigung (engl.: additive manufacturing, AM) – weitgehend auch als 3D-Druck bezeichnet – ist ein aufstrebendes und innovatives Fertigungsverfahren, das sich grundlegend von konventionellen Herstellungsprozessen unterscheidet und der Forschung und Industrie zu völlig neuen Möglichkeiten verhilft. Bauteile werden Schicht für Schicht aufgebaut und entstehen nicht wie bei herkömmlichen Verfahren durch Abtrag von Material (zum Beispiel durch fräsende Bearbeitung). Dadurch ergibt sich eine enorme Flexibilität und Designfreiheit beispielsweise bei der Herstellung von Prototypen und auch zunehmend in der Serienfertigung. Die Zukunft der additiven Fertigung Die additive Fertigung zählt zu den starken Wachstumsfeldern innerhalb der Produktion. Führende Marktberichte sagen ein durchschnittliches jährliches Wachstum von ca. 20 Prozent für die nächsten fünf Jahre voraus. Das Fraunhofer IGCV geht dabei davon aus, dass dieses Branchenwachstum der additiven Fertigung nicht nur in einem spezifischen Industriezweig zu beobachten sein wird. Vielmehr ist davon auszugehen, dass in allen Industriezweigen der Einsatz additiver Fertigungsverfahren zunehmen wird. Im Jahr 2022 wurden zur Zukunft der additiven Fertigung zwei Studien (An Additive Manufacturing Breakthrough & The Futures of Metal Additive Manufacturing 2030) veröffentlicht, bei denen das Fraunhofer IGCV Zuarbeiten geleistet hat.

Dynamical Properties of Baryon Resonances in the Holographic QCD (Springer Theses)
by Daisuke FujiiThis book focuses on the study of the dynamical properties of hadron resonances, especially their transition processes by electromagnetic and strong interactions, by using the holographic quantum chromodynamics (QCD) model. Understanding the nature of hadrons leads to revealing non-perturbative phenomena that are prominent in the low-energy region of QCD. However, there remain many open questions regarding the nature of resonant states. Holographic QCD is one of the most powerful methods to elucidate non-perturbative phenomena in QCD. We will attempt to investigate the dynamical properties of hadron resonances using the Sakai-Sugimoto model, which has achieved much success in the study of hadron physics. In particular, we studied the transition process of hadrons through the calculation of the form factors of them employing the approach of holographic QCD. The book contains a systematic review of the treatment of hadron physics by the Sakai-Sugimoto model. It further covers how to calculate the form factors of baryons through the calculation of the n-point function from holographic QCD. It also includes remarks on the modern understanding of hadron physics. The method of collective coordinate quantization of solitons—Skyrmion and Instanton—is also explained in a concise manner. These are useful not only for students and young researchers interested in this field.

Modelling Spark Ignition Combustion (Energy, Environment, and Sustainability)
by P. A. Lakshminarayanan Avinash Kumar Agarwal Haiwen Ge J. M. MallikarjunaThe book provides a comprehensive overview of combustion models used in different types of spark ignition engines. In the first generation of spark ignition (SI) engines, the turbulence is created by the shear flow passing through the intake valves, and significantly decays during the intake and compression strokes. The residual turbulence enhances the laminar flame velocity, which is characteristic of the fuel and increases the relative effectiveness of the engine. In this simple two-zone model, the turbulence is estimated empirically; the spherical flame propagation model considers ignition delay, thermodynamics, heat transfer and chemical equilibrium, to obtain the performance and emissions of an SI engine. The model is used extensively by designers and research engineers to handle the fuel-air mixture prepared in the inlet and different geometries of open combustion chambers. The empiricism of the combustion model was progressively dismantled over the years. New 3D models for ignition considering the flow near a spark plug and flame propagation in the bulk gases were developed by incorporating solutions to Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations for the turbulent flow with chemical reactions in the intense computational fluid dynamics. The models became far less empirical and enabled treating new generation direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) gasoline and gas engines. The more complex layout of DISI engines with passive or active prechamber is successfully handled by them. This book presents details of models of SI engine combustion progressively increasing in complexity, making them accessible to designers, researchers, and even mechanical engineers who are curious to explore the field. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in spark ignition combustion.

Proceedings of the Third World Conference on Floating Solutions: WCFS 2023; 28–29 August, Tokyo, Japan (Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering #465)
by Chien Ming Wang Soon Heng Lim Tomoki Ikoma Shigeru TabetaThis book includes peer-reviewed articles from the Third World Conference on Floating Solutions WCFS 2023 Japan with an aim to pioneer the SDGs and Next SDGs by making the most use of oceans and water. In recent years, the safety and security of people's lives around the world have been threatened by frequent floods and rising sea levels attributable to climate change. The COP 26 has set a common global goal of limiting the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. It is an urgent task to cope with climate change as well as to utilize decarbonized and renewable energy. The UN is promoting the SDGs which aim to achieve 17 Goals between 2015 and 2030. However, efforts to reach the Goals will not end in 2030 but will be an ongoing challenge for humanity beyond 2030. Here, we tentatively call the Goals to be achieved after the SDGs as "Next SDGs." Ocean and water have the potential to provide solutions to the disasters such as flooding and sea level rise due to climate change. In this context, WCFS 2023 presents ocean and water as the urban infrastructure and explores new technology and feasible solutions. In particular, it is necessary to consider urban planning, marine architecture, port planning connecting land and sea, disaster prevention, renewable energy, and food production on the sea and water. Further, it is indispensable that knowledge, experience, dream, and strong desire to realize these challenges are supported by a diversity of people.

Attacks, Defenses and Testing for Deep Learning
by Jinyin Chen Ximin Zhang Haibin ZhengThis book provides a systematic study on the security of deep learning. With its powerful learning ability, deep learning is widely used in CV, FL, GNN, RL, and other scenarios. However, during the process of application, researchers have revealed that deep learning is vulnerable to malicious attacks, which will lead to unpredictable consequences. Take autonomous driving as an example, there were more than 12 serious autonomous driving accidents in the world in 2018, including Uber, Tesla and other high technological enterprises. Drawing on the reviewed literature, we need to discover vulnerabilities in deep learning through attacks, reinforce its defense, and test model performance to ensure its robustness. Attacks can be divided into adversarial attacks and poisoning attacks. Adversarial attacks occur during the model testing phase, where the attacker obtains adversarial examples by adding small perturbations. Poisoning attacks occur during the model training phase, wherethe attacker injects poisoned examples into the training dataset, embedding a backdoor trigger in the trained deep learning model. An effective defense method is an important guarantee for the application of deep learning. The existing defense methods are divided into three types, including the data modification defense method, model modification defense method, and network add-on method. The data modification defense method performs adversarial defense by fine-tuning the input data. The model modification defense method adjusts the model framework to achieve the effect of defending against attacks. The network add-on method prevents the adversarial examples by training the adversarial example detector. Testing deep neural networks is an effective method to measure the security and robustness of deep learning models. Through test evaluation, security vulnerabilities and weaknesses in deep neural networks can be identified. By identifying and fixing these vulnerabilities, the security and robustness of the model can be improved. Our audience includes researchers in the field of deep learning security, as well as software development engineers specializing in deep learning.
