The science of nanomaterials has taken giant leaps during the last three decades. Not only has the synthesis of nanomaterials become easier and more accessible, their integration in existing technologies is also becoming ...

Emerging interest of economic biobutanol production at industrial level is being stimulated owing to flourishing environmental issues and hiking of price for petroleum-based liquid fuels due to continuous depletion of oil ...

As sustainability becomes an increasingly important business factor, companies are looking for decision support tools to assess the impacts associated with their manufacturing operations and supply chain activities. Life ...

The adsorption of a molecule at the liquid–vapor interface is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by several processes occurring at the molecular scale. In this chapter, we focus on the role of density fluctuations at ...

With the ever-increasing complexity of manufacturing systems, safety cannot be ensured through add-on measures alone; rather safety has to be built into the design. This principle is called inherently safer design. Inherently ...

Full chip resist simulation is a critical step in the lithography simulation of advanced CMOS technology nodes. The semi-empirical compact models (such as compact model 1, also known as CM1) are generally used in the ...
