    Description / Table of Contents: This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. Over  the  past  decades,  rapid developments in digital and sensing technologies, such  as the Cloud, Web and Internet of Things, have dramatically changed the way we live and work. The digital transformation is revolutionizing our ability to monitor our planet and transforming the  way we access, process and exploit Earth Observation data from satellites. This book reviews these megatrends and their implications for the Earth Observation community as well as the wider data economy. It provides insight into new paradigms of Open Science and Innovation applied to space data, which are characterized by openness, access to large volume of complex data, wide availability of new community tools, new techniques for big data analytics such as Artificial Intelligence, unprecedented level of computing power, and new types of collaboration among researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs and citizen scientists. In addition, this book aims to provide readers with some reflections on the future of Earth Observation, highlighting through a series of use cases not just the new opportunities created by the New Space revolution, but also the new challenges that must be addressed in order to make the most of the large volume of complex and diverse data delivered by the new generation of satellites.

    Description / Table of Contents: This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. Over  the  past  decades,  rapid developments in digital and sensing technologies, such  as the Cloud, Web and Internet of Things, have dramatically changed the way we live and work. The digital transformation is revolutionizing our ability to monitor our planet and transforming the  way we access, process and exploit Earth Observation data from satellites. This book reviews these megatrends and their implications for the Earth Observation community as well as the wider data economy. It provides insight into new paradigms of Open Science and Innovation applied to space data, which are characterized by openness, access to large volume of complex data, wide availability of new community tools, new techniques for big data analytics such as Artificial Intelligence, unprecedented level of computing power, and new types of collaboration among researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs and citizen scientists. In addition, this book aims to provide readers with some reflections on the future of Earth Observation, highlighting through a series of use cases not just the new opportunities created by the New Space revolution, but also the new challenges that must be addressed in order to make the most of the large volume of complex and diverse data delivered by the new generation of satellites.

    Description: En France, neuf des réacteurs nucléaires de production d’électricité sont arrivés en fin de vie et sont en phase de démantèlement, afin de rendre leurs sites libres pour tous usages. En outre, sur les 58 réacteurs électronucléaires en fonctionnement, 48 devraient arriver en fin d’exploitation avant 2050. Cette situation est commune aux nations industrialisées exploitant l’énergie nucléaire : dans la seule Union européenne, il y en a 75, aux États-Unis, il y en a 29. Ces chantiers de démantèlement ont des caractéristiques qui les distinguent des autres chantiers de démolition. Ils contiennent des matières radioactives, dont l’exposition externe aux rayonnements, l’ingestion ou l’inhalation accidentelle pourraient constituer des dangers. Les phénomènes associés à la radioactivité sont des obstacles au travail des hommes et à la mise en oeuvre des procédés classiques de démolition. La radioprotection joue donc ici un rôle central. Des techniques, des appareils et des procédés spécifiques ont été mis au point par les opérateurs spécialisés, et, de ce point de vue, les équipes françaises ont développé un savoir-faire scientifique et technique reconnu internationalement. Les 8 et 9 octobre 2014, l’Académie des sciences a consacré un séminaire aux sciences et techniques du démantèlement des installations nucléaires, au cours duquel ont été débattus tous les aspects de ces disciplines : la caractérisation des sources de radioactivité, la radioprotection, la logistique, la physicochimie, la mécanique des milieux continus, les codes de calcul, la robotique, les retours d’expériences, la formation, la prospective et le cas des accidents graves… L’objet de cet ouvrage est de rendre compte de ces journées d’étude et de dresser un panorama des besoins et conditions du démantèlement, de recenser les phénomènes scientifiques clés, de décrire les recherches en cours et d’identifier celles à mener pour permettre le retour au libre usage des sites d’installations électronucléaires, tout en assurant la protection des travailleurs et du public pour le présent et pour l’avenir.

    Description: Worldwide interest in nuclear reactors continues to increase and significant focus has been placed on advanced nuclear reactors intended to produce electricity and process heat. However, there is limited literature on the importance of research reactors and certain specialized reactor analysis topics. Thus, this book addresses these topics over three sections: “Nuclear Reactors for Spacecraft Propulsion”, “Research Reactors”, and “Select Reactor Analysis Techniques”. It provides detailed information on the use of nuclear reactors for spacecraft propulsion, presents research conducted on reactors in Idaho, USA, and discusses reactor analysis topics such as cyber-informed engineering for nuclear reactor digital instrumentation and control, the effect of plenum gas on fuel temperature, and more.

    Description: Due to their very low volatility, high thermal stability, and ability to dissolve a wide variety of compounds, ionic liquids appear to meet the rigorous criteria for industrial applications. Among other uses, ionic liquids appear to be efficient for gas capture, biomass pretreatment, separation problems, and electrochemistry. They are also used in electrolytes, as lubricants, catalysts, or as antistatic agents. This book discusses the various uses of ionic liquids. Chapters discuss such topics as the use of ionic liquids in batteries, new mono, di, and trimeric imidazolium and pyridinium ionic liquids as catalysts in organic chemistry, the physico-chemical properties of ionic liquid-substituted double-network gels for industrial applications, the use of paramagnetic ionic liquids in magnetic resonance imaging, the compatibility of filter materials used with ionic liquids, and the development of low-friction ion gels for industrial applications.

    Description: Fusion power may offer a long-term energy supply with an uninterrupted power delivery, a high power-generation density, and no greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to preventing the worst effects of climate change and making an enduring contribution to future energy supply. However, the intense conditions inside a fusion power plant (extreme temperatures and high magnetic fields necessary for nuclear fusion) call for addressing several potential problems. These include the development of new materials with extremely high heat tolerances and low enough vapor pressure and the design of mechanical structures that can withstand the electromagnetic force generated as well as feedback controllers to measure and counteract the unstable modes of evolution of the plasma, to name a few. The future of nuclear fusion as an efficient alternative energy source depends largely on techniques that enable us to control these instabilities. Mathematical modelling and physical experiments attempt to overcome some of the hindrances posed by these complexities. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in this fascinating and critically important field of pure and applied physics, mathematics, and engineering, presenting some of the most recent developments in theory, modelling, algorithms, experiments, and applications.

    Description: Electromagnetic waves within a terahertz frequency range are becoming critical to investigating molecules, materials, and possible applications that are operated by both visible light and infrared rays. This book discusses sensing, imaging, and optoelectronic technologies of terahertz electromagnetic waves in theory and experiments. Most terahertz technologies can be explained by fundamentals of applied physics that have been demonstrated in other spectral ranges. However, the optoelectronic technology and corresponding configurations of imaging and sensing techniques are so special for various terahertz material polarization waves, which are excited in solid-state media by high-peak power lasers and waveguide transportation. Thus, this book also specifies terahertz parameters and available technologies.

    Description: En France, neuf des réacteurs nucléaires de production d’électricité sont arrivés en fin de vie et sont en phase de démantèlement, afin de rendre leurs sites libres pour tous usages. En outre, sur les 58 réacteurs électronucléaires en fonctionnement, 48 devraient arriver en fin d’exploitation avant 2050. Cette situation est commune aux nations industrialisées exploitant l’énergie nucléaire : dans la seule Union européenne, il y en a 75, aux États-Unis, il y en a 29. Ces chantiers de démantèlement ont des caractéristiques qui les distinguent des autres chantiers de démolition. Ils contiennent des matières radioactives, dont l’exposition externe aux rayonnements, l’ingestion ou l’inhalation accidentelle pourraient constituer des dangers. Les phénomènes associés à la radioactivité sont des obstacles au travail des hommes et à la mise en oeuvre des procédés classiques de démolition. La radioprotection joue donc ici un rôle central. Des techniques, des appareils et des procédés spécifiques ont été mis au point par les opérateurs spécialisés, et, de ce point de vue, les équipes françaises ont développé un savoir-faire scientifique et technique reconnu internationalement. Les 8 et 9 octobre 2014, l’Académie des sciences a consacré un séminaire aux sciences et techniques du démantèlement des installations nucléaires, au cours duquel ont été débattus tous les aspects de ces disciplines : la caractérisation des sources de radioactivité, la radioprotection, la logistique, la physicochimie, la mécanique des milieux continus, les codes de calcul, la robotique, les retours d’expériences, la formation, la prospective et le cas des accidents graves… L’objet de cet ouvrage est de rendre compte de ces journées d’étude et de dresser un panorama des besoins et conditions du démantèlement, de recenser les phénomènes scientifiques clés, de décrire les recherches en cours et d’identifier celles à mener pour permettre le retour au libre usage des sites d’installations électronucléaires, tout en assurant la protection des travailleurs et du public pour le présent et pour l’avenir.
