Recent Developments and Innovations in the Sustainable Production of Concrete covers the various aspects of sources, materials, and waste products in concrete production, innovation in materials-new technological developments, and the upgradation of existing concrete production systems. Importantly it covers the so-called EEE aspects (Economy, Energy, and Environment), not touched by other books. The books also highlights the sustainability aspects of concrete production when recycled materials are added. Case studies are used to demonstrate the practical aspect of concrete production, including the machine learning approach.

As the world becomes more complicated and linked, many of our research questions can no longer be answered using straightforward models. Agent-Based Models with MATLAB introduces one of the most important methodologies for complex systems modeling, called Agent-Based Modeling (ABM), using computational implementations and accompanying MATLAB software code as a means of inspiring readers to apply agent-based models to solve a diverse range of problems. Observing the implementation of a particular approach through code can be helpful for readers, even those with strong mathematical abilities, as it eliminates ambiguities and uncertainties, making the material easier to grasp and communicate. The book comes with a large amount of software code accompanying the main text, and the modeling systems described in the book are implemented using MATLAB as the programming language. Despite the heavy mathematical components of Agent-Based Models and complex systems, it is possible to utilize these models without in-depth understanding of their mathematical fundamentals. For many readers, a more feasible goal is to grasp the concepts of these models through programming instead of mathematical formulations. Agent-Based Models with MATLAB enables computer scientists, mathematicians, researchers and engineers to apply ABM in a wide range of research and engineering applications. The book gradually advances from basic to more advanced methods, while reinforcing understanding of complex systems through practical, hands-on applications of various computational models.

System reliability has become the paramount attribute of any production unit. The process of maximizing system reliability while adhering to multiple constraints is referred to as reliability optimization. There are two primary approaches to enhancing a system's performance and reliability: developing a product with reduced failures (failure avoidance) or incorporating resilience to ensure the system continues functioning even in the event of a failure (fault tolerance). Recognizing the significance of system design in reliability optimization, 'Reliability Assessment and Optimization of Complex Systems' delves into a range of tools and techniques for designing optimized complex systems. Each chapter explores system modeling and the implementation of various metaheuristics for optimization purposes. This book provides readers in the domain of applied mathematics with a comprehensive understanding of system reliability analysis and improvement, thereby offering substantial value to their knowledge and expertise.

Device aided therapies are emerging as mainstay of treatment of Parkinson’s in the advanced stages of the condition and also in the “earlier” stages of advanced PD. With the numbers of patients set to double by 2040, the societal and medical costs of advanced PD are likely to be of enormous consequence to patients , carers, medical communities and also policymakers. Device based therapies therefore, chosen properly and in right patients have much to offer for patients, carers and health care professionals and can range from subcutaneous options ( such as the newly available levodopa or apomorphine) to deep brain stimulation and also experimental delivery methods using neurotrophic factors. In this comprehensive state of the art book we discuss these latest options from a global set of key opinion leaders and also emerging specialists using a gender balanced modern and nuanced approach .
