1. Distributed Acoustic Sensing in Borehole Geophysics

   Presents the latest advances in borehole distributed acoustic sensing and diverse applications for subsurface geophysics Borehole geophysics involves measuring, imaging, and monitoring subsurface structures and activities by putting instruments into wellbores. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology is emerging as an effective and reliable tool in borehole geophysics because fiber-optic cables deployed at depth can produce high-quality data and images, even in harsh high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Distributed Acoustic Sensing in Borehole Geophysics is a comprehensive handbook on cutting-edge advances in borehole DAS technologies and their practical applications across geophysics. Volume highlights include: * Summary of the evolution of DAS technologies and their primary applications * New developments in borehole DAS instrumentation and modeling * Examples of DAS data acquisition and processing in different contexts * Variety of imaging methods and techniques for integration of images with other data * Applications of borehole DAS systems, including monitoring earthquakes and hydraulic fracturing operations * Case studies of borehole DAS projects at diverse sites around the world, ranging from glaciers to geothermal fields The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals. [624 Pages, Hardcover] Read More...

3. Electronics with Discrete Components

   Comprehensive textbook on electronics for physicists, now with more examples, exercises, hands-on electronics labs, troubleshooting tips, and practical exercises Electronics with Discrete Components delivers a comprehensive overview of electronics from the perspective of a physicist. In the first part on digital components, after an introduction to digital electronics, the text covers fundamentals of combinational logic and its implementation in combinational logic devices, followed by sequential-logic devices such as flip-flops and memory components. The second part on analog components deals with the fundamentals of signal processing, filters, components such as diodes and transistors, and a lengthy coverage of operational amplifiers. Each chapter ends with problem sets and "lab projects" that have been proven to work well for instruction. Questions on simple aspects of the lab that students should know are also included, such as regarding powering components and diagnosing signals with the oscilloscope and providing "troubleshooting tips" to help students find out why a particular circuit does not work. The new edition of this textbook adds more worked examples, exercises with answers for the self-learner, and end-of-chapter problems. It adds new electronic components, covers the latest digital technologies plus adds a new section of Fourier transforms in electronics. In addition, it features labs with Arduino or Teensy boards which have become widespread in the community as inexpensive, easy-to-use electronics platforms. Electronics with Discrete Components includes information on: * Number systems, codes, signed numbers, binary functions, logic families, and IC wirings * Filters and the frequency domain, covering RC, high- and low-pass, and cascading filters, FFTs, as well as important considerations for filter design * Connecting digital to analog and to the world through TTL, CMOS, and LV gates and interfacing between the logic families * Charge and potential, capacitors, electrical current, resistors, magnetic components, power, circuits, and abstractions and symbol jargon in the field The Second Edition of Electronics with Discrete Components is an ideal textbook resource for a one-semester course on electronics for second-year physics students, as well as students from other disciplines or levels who understand elementary notions of circuits and complex numbers.

5. Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials Applied to Chemical Sensors and Biosensors

   The key social issues of health, medicine, the environment, food and safety cannot be addressed without the support of chemical sensors and biosensors, whose performance is constantly improving in terms of reliability and cost, particularly in the production of autonomous devices connected to the Internet. Obtaining high-intensity transduction signals arising from the interaction of an analyte and a sensor, enabling the identification and dosage of a given compound, requires the selection of suitable physical measurement methods and the creation of structures that react specifically to different types of analyte. Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials Applied to Chemical Sensors and Biosensors details recent advances in the field of sensor design using carbon-based nanomaterials (graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon quantum dots, etc.) and inorganic nanomaterials (metallic nanoparticles, nanocrystals, transition metal dichalcogenides, etc.), as well as a variety of physical sensing methods (electrochemical, piezoelectric, electromagnetic, optic, optoelectronic, etc.).
