Sonochemistry: A Sustainable Technology (Synthesis Lectures on Chemical Engineering and Biochemical Engineering)
by A. K. Haghi Navnath Hatvate Hemantkumar N. AkolkarThe study of the effects of ultrasound waves on a chemical reaction is known as sonochemistry. Ultrasound radiation (between 20 kHz and 2 MHz) is used to drive chemical and physical processes in solution. When ultrasound waves pass through liquid, they generate tiny bubbles that expand and then collapse quickly. This process releases energy, which can speed up the chemical reactions. Sonochemistry is considered a sustainable technology because it often utilizes less energy, requires fewer toxic chemicals, and generates less waste compared to traditional chemical processes. Ultrasound waves are utilized in various processes including synthesis, crystallization, and purifications and find applications in various sectors like pharmaceuticals, material sciences, agriculture, food processing, and environment science. This book is focused on applications of sonochemistry. It begins by explaining the basics of the technology and moves on to describing applications in the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering, and discussed applications currently being developed and future outlook.

Spanish Piano Music and Folklore from the Eighteenth to Early Twentieth Centuries: Crossing Paths (Routledge Research in Music)
by Ana BenavidesThis is a pioneering work on the study of popular music—songs and dances—from the eighteenth to early twentieth centuries. The piano was the dominant solo instrument in European art music of this period, including Spanish, and Ana Benavides uses this as a vehicle for examining a wide variety of vernacular songs and dances, offering a wealth of musical, historical, and ethnographic insight. First published in Spanish in 2019, this translation by Walter Aaron Clark shows how one of the most frequent and established practices in the history of Western art music has been the borrowing and reinterpretation of traditional and popular musics, which reflect the lives and spirit of those outside the upper social strata. This volume provides an exploration of specific folk-inspired works with an inquiry into the historical cross-pollination between popular and classical musical idioms. It will prove invaluable not only to pianists but also to scholars, performers, and students in general.

Spatial Conflicts and Conflictual Spaces: The Dynamics of Refiguration (The Refiguration of Space)
by Hubert Knoblauch Barbara Pfetsch Vivien SommerThis volume explores the refiguration of space as a theoretical framework, presenting empirical studies on spatial conflicts and emerging conflictual spaces across different regions and scales. It contains contributions which follow varied theoretical threads and represent different geospatial standpoints, but which relate to the thesis of the refiguration of space as a new phase after globalization.By adopting a spatial lens, the book offers insights into the dynamics of social order in the post-globalization era, examining how conflicts arise within space and how spatial dynamics shape social tensions. The chapters unpack the interplay between human aspirations and geographical limitations and use the concept of (re)figuration to underline the trans-scalar dimension of most social conflicts, which is massively expanded by digital mediatization, public communication and its refigured infrastructures. While emphasizing the empirical analysis of conflicts in space, the edited volume also seeks to identify general principles of the spatial dynamics of social conflicts. It is this "spatial logic" underlying conflictual situations that the book addresses with the term "spatial conflicts."This volume will be of interest to students and researchers in sociology, anthropology, geography, urban studies, communication studies, political science, and globalization and peace studies.
Spatial Data Analysis With R (Advanced Quantitative Techniques in the Social Sciences)
by Danlin YuThis is an introduction for social science students to the growing field of spatial data analysis using the R platform.

Spectral Theory for Linear Operators: Demicompactness and Perturbation Theory (Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs and Research Notes in Mathematics)
by Bilel KrichenThis book focuses on spectral theory for linear operators involving bounded or unbounded demicompact linear operators acting on Banach spaces. This class played an important rule in the theory of perturbation. More precisely, it contributed in the construction of several classes of stability of essential spectra for bounded or unbounded linear operators. We should emphasize that this book is the first one dealing with the demicompactness concept and its relation with Fredholm theory for bounded and unbounded linear operators as well as block operator matrices acting on Banach spaces. Researchers, as well as graduate students in applicable analysis, will find that this book constitutes a useful survey of the fundamental principles of the subject. Nevertheless, the reader is assumed to be, at least, familiar with some related sections concerning notions like the compact, Fredholm operators, the basic tools of the weak topology, the concept of measures of weak noncompactness, etc. Otherwise, the reader is urged to consult the recommended literature in order to benefit fully from this book.Features -• First book dealing with demicompactness theory and its relation with Fredholm theory for bounded and unbounded linear operators as well as block operator matrices acting on Banach spaces.• Self-contained coverage of classical and more recent classes of perturbations involving the concept of demicompactness.• Offers a useful survey of the fundamental principles of spectral theory.• Provides applications for problem arising in physics and which are modeled by integral or partial differential equations.
