    Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the technical notes, research designs, literature, and 3DP (three-dimensional printing) technology applications for effective food printing. It provides a multidisciplinary coverage of 3D food printing in different food sectors. Recent advancements in manufacturing processes have led food industries to create innovations to stay competitive in the market. 3D food printing incorporates 3DP digital gastronomy strategies to manufacture food products with consistency in shape, color, flavor, texture, and even nutrition. Thus, by controlling the number of materials and the quality of nutrients, food items can be manufactured and handled to fulfill their particular requirements. For food printing, both proprietary structures and self-developed frameworks are used from open sources. Similar frameworks are re-engineered to reformulate administration, content creation, and user interface. For example, three printing medium types, natural printable products, non-printable synthetic food products, and alternative ingredients as well as two recipe forms (i.e., element-based recipes and regular recipes) are used for customized food production. The authors address that open 3D technology for food printing and food processing technology are theoretically correlated with food printing. The book will help industrial designers, nutrition professionals, dieticians, manufacturing enterprises, and young researchers in food technology, material science, and mechanical engineering understand the latest advances in 3DP technology in food industries.

    Fast Solar Wind Driven by Parametric Decay Instability and Alfvén Wave Turbulence (2021)
    Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :
    Details
    Keywords: Earth sciences. ; Astrophysics. ; Sun. ; Earth Sciences. ; Astrophysics. ; Solar Physics.
    Description / Table of Contents: General Introduction -- 1D model with Compressional and Non-compressional Nonlinear Effects -- Onset and Suppression of Parametric Decay Instability -- 3D Simulations of the Fast Solar Wind -- Summary and Discussion.
    Abstract: This book discusses key theoretical aspects concerning the formation of the solar wind: the most essential building block in the heliosphere, in which planets orbit. To understand the influence of solar activity on planetary magnetospheres and atmospheres, we need to first understand the origin of the solar wind, which is still under debate. This book presents the outcomes of state-of-the-art numerical simulations of solar wind acceleration, including the first three-dimensional simulation of the turbulence-driven solar wind model. One of the book’s goals is to include compressional effects in the dynamics of solar wind turbulence; accordingly, it discusses parametric decay instability in detail. Several key aspects that are relevant to the Parker Solar Probe observations are also discussed. Given its scope, the book plays a key role in bridging the gap between the theory of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and current/future in-situ observations of the solar wind. This book is based on the Ph.D. thesis by the author, which won the 2019 International Astronomical Union Division E Ph.D. prize.

    Ecological Risks of Emerging Pollutants in Urbanizing Regions (2023)
    Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :
    Details
    Keywords: Physical geography. ; Environmental management. ; Environmental health. ; Environment. ; Earth System Sciences. ; Environmental Management. ; Environmental Health. ; Environmental Sciences. ; Environmental Sciences.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Urbanization and emissions of pollutants -- Chapter 2. Spatial distribution of emerging pollutants in multimedia -- Chapter 3. Source identification and emission estimation of emerging pollutants -- Chapter 4. Multimedia modeling and simulation of contaminants transportation and fate -- Chapter 5. Exposure pathways and human risks of emerging pollutants -- Chapter 6. Ecological risks of emerging pollutants: methodology and applications -- Chapter 7. Conclusion and perspectives.
    Abstract: This book characterizes the major pollution patterns of emerging contaminants, such as sources, emission effluents, temporal and spatial distributions, multi-media transportation and transformation processes, exposure pathways to ecosystems and humans, and ecological risks. Based on this, it establishes an urbanizing region management concept and highlights how urbanization and its regional ecology have evolved into a more integrated vision. It also decouples the relations between urbanization and emissions of emerging pollutants that are framed within a broad socio-ecological context considering institutions, policies, and governance. All the theory, methods, and case studies have been taken from the authors’ publications, which have undergone rigorous international peer review. The book presents the spatial distribution, pathways, and flow diagrams of the pollutants as well as the interactions between urbanization and regional pollution and includes detailed figures and pictures. It also investigates ecological risk characterization and expression using maps based on geographic information systems to illustrate the general profile and the spatial variation of risks. The book is a valuable resource for postgraduates, researchers, academics, environmental NGOs, and regional managers such as urban planners, environmental agency staff, legal regulators, and decision makers. Bridging the gap between environmental science and policy, it offers interdisciplinary theory, approaches, and case studies that facilitate applications of frontier science in ecology and environmental science to regional social and economic development.

    Global Seismicity Dynamics and Data-Driven Science : Seismicity Modelling by Big Data Analytics (2021)
    Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :
    Details
    Keywords: Geophysics. ; Geography Mathematics. ; Natural disasters. ; Big data. ; Geophysics. ; Mathematics of Planet Earth. ; Natural Hazards. ; Big Data.
    Description / Table of Contents: - Introduction -- Nature of Earthquakes in the Solid Earth -- Global Seismicity of the Solid Earth -- Data – Driven Sciences for Geosciences -- Data-Driven Science of Seismicity -- Down Scaling Seismicity of Japanese Regions -- Correlated Seismicity of the Northern California Region -- Model of Seismicity Dynamics from Data-Driven Science -- Seismicity Dynamics Model of Global Earth and Japanese Island Region -- Predictive Modeling of Global and Regional Seismicity Rates -- Future Problems of Prediction of Giant Plate Boundary Earthquakes -- Application of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) Modeling for Global Seismicity Dynamics -- Comments on Databases and Software Used in This Book.
    Abstract: The recent explosion of global and regional seismicity data in the world requires new methods of investigation of microseismicity and development of their modelling to understand the nature of whole earth mechanics. In this book, the author proposes a powerful tool to reveal the characteristic features of global and regional microseismicity big data accumulated in the databases of the world. The method proposed in this monograph is based on (1) transformation of stored big data to seismicity density data archives, (2) linear transformation of microseismicity density data matrixes to correlated seismicity matrixes by means of the singular value decomposition method, (3) time series analyses of globally and regionally correlated seismicity rates, and (4) the minimal non-linear equations approximation of their correlated seismicity rate dynamics. Minimal non-linear modelling is the manifestation for strongly correlated seismicity time series controlled by Langevin-type stochastic dynamic equations involving deterministic terms and random Gaussian noises. A deterministic term is composed minimally with correlated seismicity rate vectors of a linear term and of a term with a third exponent. Thus, the dynamics of correlated seismicity in the world contains linearly changing stable nodes and rapid transitions between them with transient states. This book contains discussions of future possibilities of stochastic extrapolations of global and regional seismicity in order to reduce earthquake disasters worldwide. The dataset files are available online and can be downloaded at springer.com.

It is essential to detect bruises in the early stages of their formation and conduct a quantitative analysis of the degree of bruising, to ensure the accurate grading of bruised fruits and vegetables and reduce unnecessary economic losses. Bruise damage occurring between the point of harvest and consumption contributes the most to the decrease in fruit quality, reducing the market value and ultimately leading to significant reductions in potential revenue. SDG 12.3 aims to “by 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.” This book presents recent technological developments in bruise measurement, detection, and analysis of fresh horticultural produce. Given the rising demand for rapid and accurate methods of quality measurement in the horticultural produce industry, this book covers destructive and nondestructive techniques for bruise measurement. Selected applications of different nondestructive methods for various fresh produce commodities are also included. This book will interest graduate and undergraduate students, researchers, academics and engineers working in different aspects of the mechanical damage affected by postharvest handling practices, professionals working in the governments, and other authorities related to fresh horticultural produce quality, regulations, and safety. .

    Active Faults and Nuclear Regulation : Background to Requirement Enforcement in Japan (2020)
    Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :
    Details
    Keywords: Geophysics. ; Security systems. ; Nuclear engineering. ; Natural disasters. ; Geology. ; Geophysics. ; Security Science and Technology. ; Nuclear Energy. ; Natural Hazards. ; Geology.
    Description / Table of Contents: The active fault problem in relation to nuclear power plants: current issues -- Reasons why the threat of active faults has been neglected in Japan -- Actual cases in which active faults were underrated -- Active fault surveys at nuclear power plant sites: Actions taken by the NRA and their impact -- How should we move forward? New regulatory requirement and frameworks.
    Abstract: This book reviews the active faults around nuclear power plants in Japan and recommends an optimal method of nuclear power regulation controlled by the Nuclear Regulation Authority of Japan. The active faults around nuclear power plants have been underestimated in Japan since the latter half of the 20th century. However, based on the lessons learned from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the book sheds light on why the risks of active faults were underestimated, and discusses the optimal scientific method of assessing those risks. Further, the author shares his experiences in the new standard for nuclear regulation creation team and in the active fault survey at the Nuclear Regulation Authority of Japan. This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, academic and policy-makers, as well as non-experts interested in nuclear safety.

    Details
    Keywords: Physical geography. ; Natural disasters. ; Sustainability. ; Climatology. ; Human geography. ; Sociology, Urban. ; Earth System Sciences. ; Natural Hazards. ; Sustainability. ; Climate Sciences. ; Human Geography. ; Urban Sociology.
    Abstract: This book is a product of the joint efforts of interdisciplinary academic fields under the integrative framework of human geoscience. Human geoscience is a new genre of geoscience concerned with the natural phenomena that occur on the surface of the Earth and their relations with human activities. It therefore has connections with many fields of geoscience, namely, physical geography, geomorphology, geology, soil science, sedimentology, seismology, volcanology, meteorology, climatology, oceanography, and hydrology. It also has strong links to the humanities, social sciences, agricultural sciences, and engineering related to disaster prevention or mitigation. All these disciplines are important fields for understanding disasters and global environmental problems and for evaluating the associated risks comprehensively, then proposing mitigation strategies. The volume is designed for those who may not necessarily have a geoscience background but have broad scientific interest in understanding the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of geo-disasters and global environmental problems and wish to make the world more sustainable on that basis. The book consists of six parts: I. Introduction, II. Earth Surface Realms, III. Natural Resources and Society, IV. Natural Hazards and Society, V. Global Environmental Problems, and VI. Global Sustainability Programmes and Human Geoscience, which discusses the contribution of this field of science to a new comprehensive framework for global sustainability.

Discoveries and the role of science in the Yilgarn goldfields of Western Australia -- Chapter 21. Discovery of Fosterville Deeps, Victorian Gold Province: long term science -- Chapter 22. Summary and conclusions.
    Abstract: This book addresses the origin of gold deposits to answer questions of science and curiosity. These answers contribute in turn to the improved exploration and mining of gold. Initially there is a summary of the methods used to address the genesis of gold deposits including some of the essential science and concepts. Five basic observations follow that apply to many gold deposits and need to be considered in any genetic ideas. Magmatic processes enriching gold are discussed followed by the role of aqueous fluids during gold deposit formation at elevated temperatures and pressures. Modifying effects after deposit formation include high-grade metamorphism, retrogression, weathering, and erosion. The main types of gold deposits are then explained within the spectrum of viable genetic ideas, with informal names for these examples that include gold-only, gold-plus, Carlin, slate-belt, epithermal, porphyry, iron oxide copper gold, and Archean greenstone. Case histories are included in which the role of gold geology contributed directly to discoveries—one example is at the province-scale and another at the goldfield-scale. Unlike other books on the subject, this one addresses virtually all gold deposit types rather than focusing on one type in isolation. The primary readership includes industry geologists, senior undergraduates, postgraduates, and those with some knowledge of science and an interest in the gold industry.

    Keywords: Earth sciences. ; Geotechnical engineering. ; Earth Sciences. ; Earth Sciences. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences.
    Description / Table of Contents: Planet Earth -- Crustal Processes and Materials -- Sedimentary Basins -- Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks -- Stratigraphy and Sedimentary Structures -- Depositional Environments and Facies -- The Petroleum System -- Exploration Methods -- Drilling and Logging -- Hydrocarbon Reserves and Quality -- Production Geology -- Unconventional Hydrocarbons Resources.
    Abstract: This book highlights the fundamental and applied aspects of geoscience that an engineer and geologist would need to be effective in the upstream petroleum industry. Geoscience is integral to exploration and production of petroleum, and a good understanding of the subject enables petroleum engineers to execute their tasks effectively in an interdisciplinary and collaborative environment. Most petroleum engineers lack a geological perspective, owing to their increased focus on core engineering disciplines, and evaluate rocks from a mechanical object. At the same time, books in geoscience which are currently available for undergraduate education are written for educating geologists only. This book aims to provide geoscience fundamentals as required by engineers and geologists to prepare for a career in the upstream petroleum industry.

    Details
    Keywords: Earth sciences. ; Cogeneration of electric power and heat. ; Fossil fuels. ; Electric power distribution. ; Earth Sciences. ; Fossil Fuel. ; Energy Grids and Networks.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Mechanisms and processes of petroleum migration -- Carrier systems and their characterization -- Efficiencies of migration and accumulation and resources assessing -- Case study: dynamic study on petroleum migration and accumulation in the Dongying Depression, Bohaiba Basin.
    Abstract: This book presents the authors' research findings on the dynamics of oil migration, research methodologies, insights and applications in petroliferous basins. It studies the behaviors of oil migration in porous media through physical experiments and numerical simulations, explores the mechanism of oil migration and effects of migration process, and then establishes a migration modeling method by coupling the source, driving forces and carriers. The new method can be used to estimate the amount of migrated hydrocarbons and then predict the location of possible hydrocarbon accumulations in different parts of a basin. This approach is useful for resources assessment and prediction of the distribution of hydrocarbon accumulations. An example utilizing this methodology is presented to study the dynamics of migration and accumulation processes in the southern slope of Dongying Depression in Bohai Bay Basin in China. The book appeals to scientists and professionals working on petroleum prospecting as well as faculty and students in petroleum geology.

    Keywords: Physical geography. ; Physics. ; Mathematical physics. ; Water. ; Hydrology. ; Earth System Sciences. ; Classical and Continuum Physics. ; Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. ; Water.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Ice Hydrometeors in Atmospheric Clouds -- Observed fall attitudes of ice hydrometeors -- Physics and mathematics of the theoretical problems -- Flow fields and fall attitudes of ice hydrometeors -- Ventilation effects of falling ice hydrometeors and their impacts -- Summary and outlook.
    Abstract: This book summarizes unique research findings on the hydrodynamic behavior of ice particles (ice crystals, snow, graupel and hailstones) in the atmosphere. The fall behavior of ice hydrometeors determines how and how fast a mixed-phase cloud can grow or dissipate. The book discusses how the authors used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods and numerical simulations to determine these behaviors, and presents these computations along with numerous detailed tables and illustrations of turbulent flow fields. It also examines the implications of the results for the general atmospheric sciences as well as for climate science (since the cloud problem is the source of the greatest uncertainty in model-based climate predictions). As such it allows readers to gain a clear and comprehensive understanding of how particles fall in clouds and offers insights into cloud physics and dynamics and their impact on the climate.

    AutoBATS and 3D MUSIC: New Approaches to Imaging Earthquake Rupture Behaviors (2021)
    Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :
    Details
    Keywords: Geophysics. ; Natural disasters. ; Geophysics. ; Natural Hazards.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- A new automatic full-waveform regional moment tensor inversion algorithm and its applications in the Taiwan Area -- 3D MUSIC back projection rupture images of the 2013 great Okhotsk deep earthquake sequence.
    Abstract: This book presents the kinematic earthquake rupture studies from moment tenor to spatial-temporal rupture imaging. For real-time seismic hazard monitoring, the new stable automatic moment tensor (AutoBATS) algorithm is developed and implemented for the real-time MT reports by the Taiwan Earthquake Science Information System (TESIS). In order to understand the rupture behavior of the 2013 Mw 8.3 Okhotsk deep earthquake sequence, the 3D MUltiple SIgnal Classification Back Projection (MUSIC BP) with P and pP phases is applied. The combined P- and pP-wave BP imaging of the mainshock shows two stages of anti-parallel ruptures along two depths separating for about 10~15 km. Unusual super-shear ruptures are observed through the 3D BP images of two Mw 6.7 aftershocks. In last two chapters, the 3D BP imaging reveals similar rupture properties of two shallow catastrophic earthquakes (Mw=6.4) in southwestern Taiwan. Both the 2010 Jiashian and 2016 Meinong earthquakes ruptured westward with similar velocity of ~2.5 km/s along a NE-ward shallow dipping blind fault. The rupture similarities of the doublet suggest two parallel elongate asperities along the causative fault. After several decades of seismic quiescence, the 2010 Jiashian event initiated the rupture at the deeper asperity and triggered the shallower asperity which caused catastrophes six years later.

    Advanced Methods of Joint Inversion and Fusion of Multiphysics Data (2023)
    Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :
    Details
    Keywords: Geophysics. ; Geology. ; Geotechnical engineering. ; Power resources. ; Geophysics. ; Geology. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Natural Resource and Energy Economics.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction to inversion theory -- Elements of probability theory -- Vector spaces of models and data -- Principles of regularization theory -- Linear inverse problems -- Probabilistic methods of inverse problem solution -- Gradient-type methods of non-linear inversion -- Joint inversion based on analytical and statistical relationships between different physical properties -- Joint inversion based on structural similarities -- Joint focusing inversion of multiphysics data -- Joint minimum entropy inversion -- Gramian method of generalized joint inversion -- Probabilistic approach to gramian inversion -- Simultaneous processing and fusion of multiphysics data and images -- Machine learning in the context of inversion theory -- Machine learning inversion of multiphysics data -- Modeling and inversion of potential field data -- Case histories of joint inversion of gravity and magnetic data. .
    Abstract: Different physical or geophysical methods provide information about distinctive physical properties of the objects, e.g., rock formations and mineralization. In many cases, this information is mutually complementary, which makes it natural for consideration in a joint inversion of the multiphysics data. Inversion of the observed data for a particular experiment is subject to considerable uncertainty and ambiguity. One productive approach to reducing uncertainty is to invert several types of data jointly. Nonuniqueness can also be reduced by incorporating additional information derived from available a priori knowledge about the target to reduce the search space for the solution. This additional information can be incorporated in the form of a joint inversion of multiphysics data. Generally established joint inversion methods, however, are inadequate for incorporating typical physical or geological complexity. For example, analytic, empirical, or statistical correlations between different physical properties may exist for only part of the model, and their specific form may be unknown. Features or structures that are present in the data of one physical method may not be present in the data generated by another physical method or may not be equally resolvable. This book presents and illustrates several advanced, new approaches to joint inversion and data fusion, which do not require a priori knowledge of specific empirical or statistical relationships between the different model parameters or their attributes. These approaches include the following novel methods, among others: 1) the Gramian method, which enforces the correlation between different parameters; 2) joint total variation functional or joint focusing stabilizers, e.g., minimum support and minimum gradient support constraints; 3) data fusion employing a joint minimum entropy stabilizer, which yields the simplest multiphysics solution that fits the multi-modal data. In addition, the book describes the principles of using artificial intelligence (AI) in solving multiphysics inverse problems. The book also presents in detail both the mathematical principles of these advanced approaches to joint inversion of multiphysics data and successful case histories of regional-scale and deposit-scale geophysical studies to illustrate their indicated advantages.

    Abstract: This book presents recent results of collaborative studies in geophysics and ecology, focusing on the relationship between the physical environment and the distribution of the marine coastal ecosystems. The study area, the Sakiyamawan–Amitoriwan nature conservation area in Iriomote Island of Japan, is the only oceanic nature conservation area in the country. The area has no access roads, and the bay perimeter is uninhabited; therefore, it preserves the natural environment with very little human impact. In addition, it has various environmental gradients such as topography and inflows from rivers with mangrove forests which affect the distribution of marine coastal ecosystems such as those containing reef-building corals, sea grasses, and hermit crabs. For these reasons, the area is one of the best places for the study of the relationship between the physical environment and the distribution of the marine coastal ecosystems, a relationship that is important for their conservation but has not been investigated fully. This book is aimed at students and researchers in the fields of oceanography and marine coastal ecology as well as general readers who are interested in coral reefs, diving, and nature conservation.

    Assessment of Climate Change over the Indian Region : A Report of the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India (2020)

    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter-1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Temperature Changes in India -- Chapter-3: Precipitation Changes in India -- Chapter-4: Observations and modeling of GHG concentrations and fluxes over India -- Chapter-5: Aerosols & Atmospheric Trace Gases -- Chapter-6: Droughts and Floods -- Chapter-7: Synoptic Scale Systems -- Chapter-8. Extreme Storms -- Chapter-9: Sea Level Rise -- Chapter-10: Indian Ocean Warming -- Chapter-11: Climate Change over the Himalayas.
    Abstract: This open access book discusses the impact of human-induced global climate change on the Indian subcontinent and regional monsoon, the adjoining Indian Ocean and the Himalayas. It also examines the regional climate change projections based on the climate models used by the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and national climate change modeling studies using the IITM Earth System Model (ESM) and CORDEX South Asia datasets. The IPCC assessment reports, published every 6–7 years, provide important reference material for major policy decisions on climate change, adaptation, and mitigation. While the IPCC assessment reports largely provide a global perspective on climate change, they offer limited information on the regional aspects of climate change. Regional climate change effects over the Indian subcontinent, especially relating to the Indian monsoon, are unique to the region, and in particular, the climate in this region is shaped by the Himalayas, Western Ghats, the Tibetan Plateau, the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and Bay of Bengal. Climatic variations in this region are influenced by (a) regional-scale interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, land surface, cryosphere and biosphere on different time scales, (b) remote effects from natural phenomena such as the El Nino / Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation, Indian Ocean Dipole, and Madden Julian Oscillation, and (c) human-induced climate change. This book presents policy-relevant information based on robust scientific analysis and assessments of the observed and projected future climate change over the Indian region.

    Ground Motion Seismology (2021)
    Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :
    Details
    Keywords: Geophysics. ; Natural disasters. ; Geophysics. ; Natural Hazards.
    Description / Table of Contents: Earthquakes and Ground Motion -- The Effect of Earthquake Source -- The Effect of Propagation -- Observation and Processing.
    Abstract: This book explains the physics behind seismic ground motions and seismic waves to graduate and upper undergraduate students as well as to professionals. Both seismic ground motions and seismic waves are terms for “shaking” due to earthquakes, but it is common that shaking in the near-field of an earthquake source is called seismic ground motion and in the far-field is called seismic waves. Seismic ground motion is often described by the tensor formula based on the representation theorem, but in this book explicit formulation is emphasized beginning with Augustus Edward Hough Love (1863 – 1940). The book also explains in depth the equations and methods used for analysis and computation of shaking close to an earthquake source. In addition, it provides in detail information and knowledge related to teleseismic body waves, which are frequently used in the analysis of the source of an earthquake.
