This book reviews the structure and electronic, magnetic, and other properties of various MoS2 (Molybdenum disulfide) nanostructures, with coverage of synthesis, Valley polarization, spin physics, and other topics. MoS2 is an important, graphene-like layered nano-material that substantially extends the range of possible nanostructures and devices for nanofabrication. These materials have been widely researched in recent years, and have become an attractive topic for applications such as catalytic materials and devices based on field-effect transistors (FETs) and semiconductors. Chapters from leading scientists worldwide create a bridge between MoS2 nanomaterials and fundamental physics in order to stimulate readers' interest in the potential of these novel materials for device applications. Since MoS2 nanostructures are expected to be increasingly important for future developments in energy and other electronic device applications, this book can be recommended for Physics and Materials Science and Engineering departments and as reference for researchers in the field.

Metal ions in the brain are a necessity as well as a poison. The presence of metal ions in the active sites of biological catalysts or metalloproteins and in the biological functioning of nucleic acids is very well documented and they are required for brain activity. On the other hand, metals are very effective in generating oxidative stress. This effect does not only play a role in immunology but also is the root of practically all neurodegenerative disorders by inducing disease via the death of neurons. Managing metal ions in the brain could therefore be an important strategy in the search for therapeutic agents used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. This new title gives an overview to key topics in the area of metal ions in the brain. It focuses on the role of metal ions in neurological systems by describing their advantageous functions as well as their poisonous features. It is therefore of interest for scientists in biochemistry and biophysics, physiology, toxicology as well as for physicians focused on this topic.

Computers are ubiquitous throughout all life-cycle stages ofengineering, from conceptual design to manufacturing maintenance,repair and replacement. It is essential for all engineers tobe aware of the knowledge behind computer-based tools andtechniques they are likely to encounter. The computationaltechnology, which allows engineers to carry out design, modelling,visualisation, manufacturing, construction and management ofproducts and infrastructure is known as Computer-Aided Engineering(CAE). Engineering Informatics: Fundamentals of Computer-AidedEngineering, 2nd Edition provides the foundation knowledge ofcomputing that is essential for all engineers. This knowledge isindependent of hardware and software characteristics and thus, itis expected to remain valid throughout an engineering career. ThisSecond Edition is enhanced with treatment of new areas such asnetwork science and the computational complexity of distributedsystems. Key features: Provides extensive coverage of almost all aspects ofComputer-Aided Engineering, outlining general concepts such asfundamental logic, definition of engineering tasks andcomputational complexity Every chapter revised and expanded following more than tenyears of experience teaching courses on the basis of the firstedition Covers numerous representation frameworks and reasoningstrategies Considers the benefits of increased computational power,parallel computing and cloud computing Offers many practical engineering examples and exercises, withlecture notes available for many of the topics/chapters from theASCE Technical Council on Computing and Information Technology,Global Centre of Excellence in Computing(www.asceglobalcenter.org), providing a valuable resource forlecturers. Accompanied by a website hosting updates and solutions Engineering Informatics: Fundamentals of Computer-AidedEngineering, 2nd Edition provides essential knowledge oncomputing theory in engineering contexts for students, researchersand practising engineers.
