When physics professor Madison Martin is smashed by a car, her quantum expertise and survival instinct combine to cause a paradigm shift enabling her to rewrite reality and save her life. She's freaked about what happened but, luckily, the hot physicist from the office next door volunteers to help her do experiments to decipher what the hell just happened. And as their chemistry sizzles she's ready for some experiments of a more biological nature. Unbeknownst to Madison her smartest student, Luke Bacalli, witnesses the bizarro accident and learns how to control reality, too. Luke and his buddies go on a quantum crime spree starting with never-ending beer, sorority girls losing their shirts, and progressing to bank robbery and worse. Having inadvertently created this menace, it's Madison's responsibility to stop it. She steps up and kicks ass, becoming the world's first quantum cop. Unfortunately, when she confronts Luke, he's much more powerful than she expects. Everything seems lost during their final quantum battle when the nature of reality is endangered as fundamental forces like electromagnetism and gravity start changing. Can Madison overcome the odds, thwart her evil student and save reality itself?

In Kat Garcia's twenty-second century world only the Rocky Mountains are above sealevel, and the sun is hot enough to kill anyone who ventures outdoors. Kat goes through a portal seeking bullets to arm herself and keep her friends safe from the decayed remnants of the government. In Kaitlin Garcia's world, the Unified States is constantly bombarded by severe storms. Kaitlin goes through a portal in order to implement her climate mitigation strategy before her world is rendered uninhabitable. In Katherine Garcia's world, only draconian government control over the citizens has kept the droughts, floods, and diseases from killing them. Katherine goes through a portal seeking nuclear fusion, the key to throwing off the oppressive governmental yoke. When the actions of the three Kats start to unravel their universes, can they join forces and save them all?

In Colorado in the near future, twenty-one-year-old former foster-kid Kairi Johnson's dream is to start a family of her own. So when her boyfriend proposes on spring break, she thinks she has it made--until she wakes up alone in the middle of nowhere. When she hitchhikes home she realizes she's trapped twenty years in her past. Kairi discovers she can time-travel and attempts to use her power to get back home. But time-travel isn't as simple as it first appears. Each successive time trip results in more and more people getting hurt: she loses her fiance and her best friend and discovers she's the reason for her parents' deaths. All seems lost until she meets a fascinating stranger, Kyle. In Sydney, Australia in the near future, twenty-five-year-old Kyle Barada is heir to his clan's Time-Travel business. When his dad dies under suspicious circumstances, Kyle becomes The Traveler and does his duty for their corporate clients. But when he vows to find out what really happened to his father, Kyle rebels against the regulations of his clan's Traveling legacy and discovers a mysterious relative's been working against him. When Kyle's replaced by this usurper, all seems lost until he tracks down clan member, Kairi. Can Kairi and Kyle time-travel together to save everyone they love?

When lonely physicist Chloe Carsen discovers a parallel world she becomes addicted to her life there with a perfect family and a perfect career. She doesn't even care that her physical body in the real world is wasting away. But, then, in the alternative world her ideal life begins to fall apart. Her anti-gravity experiment unleashes a government manhunt for her and her family; they'll do anything to get their hands on her tech. The lives of Chloe's alternative-world husband and sons are endangered. Chloe is torn away from them as her real-world brother finds her on the verge of death and destroys her equipment. Heartbroken and torn between two worlds, Chloe pushes her scientific expertise to the limit to find a way to reconcile her two lives. Can the husband and sons be saved? Can she build a life for herself in the real world?

With the advent of data-intensive applications, the elimination of redundancy in disseminated information has become a serious challenge for researchers who are on the lookout for evolving metaheuristic algorithms which can explore and exploit the information feature space to derive the optimal settings for specific applications. Swarm intelligence algorithms have developed as one of the most widely used metaheuristic techniques for addressing this challenge in an effective way. Inspired by the behavior of a swarm of bees, these swarm intelligence techniques emulate the corresponding natural instincts to derive optimal solutions for data-intensive applications. Recent Trends in Swarm Intelligence Enabled Research for Engineering Applications focuses on the recent and most up-to-date technologies combining other intelligent tools with swarm intelligence techniques to yield robust and failsafe solutions to real world problems. This book aims to provide audiences with a platform to learn and gain insights into the latest developments in hybrid swarm intelligence. It will be useful to researchers, engineers, developers, practitioners, and graduate students working in the major and interdisciplinary areas of computational intelligence, communication systems, computer networks, and soft computing. - Introduces the theory underpinning hybrid swarm intelligence-enabled research as well as the leading applications across the fields of communication, networking, and information engineering - Presents a range of applications research, including signal processing, communication engineering, bioinformatics, controllers, federated learning systems, blockchain, and IoT - Includes case studies and code snippets in applications chapters

There are many books in the market devoted to the review of certain fields. This book is different from those in that authors not only provide reviews of the fields but also present their own important contributions to the fields in a tutorial way. As a result, researchers who are already in the field of ultrafast dynamics in semicon ductors and its device applications as well as researchers and graduate students just entering the field will benefit from it. This book is made up of recent new developments in the field of ultrafast dynamics in semiconductors. It consists of nine chapters. Chapter 1 reviews a mi croscopic many-body theory which allows one to compute the linear and non-linear optical properties of semiconductor superlattices in the presence of homogeneous electric fields. Chapter 2 deals with ultrafast intersubband dynamics in quantum wells and device structures. Chapter 3 is devoted to Bloch oscillations in semicon ductors and their applications. Chapter 4 discusses transient electron transport phe nomena, such as electron ballistic transport and electron velocity overshoot phe nomena as well as non-equilibrium phonon dynamics in nanostructure semicon ductors. Chapter 5 reviews experimental and theoretical work on the use of the phase properties of one or more ultrashort optical pulses to generate and control electrical currents in semiconductors.
