This multidisciplinary book provides a comprehensive overview of the fabrication and development of molecularly imprinted polymer-based devices for various sensing applications.

This book frames the climate problem in a comprehensive way and cuts through common conceptual confusions that impede rapid action.The first chapter describes the history, nature, and scope of the climate problem. The second chapter describes how to stabilize the climate by ending fossil fuels, minimizing non-fossil emissions, and creating a climate-positive biosphere.The authors identify five technical pillars of climate action needed to stabilize the climate, each of which gets its own chapter. These include electrifying (almost) everything, decarbonizing the electricity grid, minimizing non-fossil emissions, promoting efficiency and optimization, and removing carbon from the atmosphere. The book then moves beyond the narrow technical and policy focus of most previous climate solutions work by detailing three more "institutional" pillars that require action: aligning incentives, mobilizing money, and elevating truth.Key Features: Teaches methods for assessing the potential for emissions reductions at the government, company, funder, and individual citizen levels.Provides the reader with a quantitative sense of the massive scope and rapid rate of change needed to truly meet the climate challenge while simultaneously providing realistic and actionable solutions.Summarizes evidence-based advice from two experts on creating zero emissions and net climate-positive systems and institutions.Trains the reader to separate fact from fiction when analysing climate solutions and provides realistic paths towards climate progress for a wide range of decision-makers.

This book presents a detailed account of the theory and methods to tackle systems of strongly interacting particles from a bottom-up approach, which has been largely developed in the past decade by the authors and other experts in the field. This begins with a full characterisation of strongly interacting few-particle systems, which can be dealt with accurately using a variety of analytical and numerical techniques. These non-perturbative solutions can be used to gain qualitative and quantitative insight into more complex problems, especially the many-body problem. The book gives a detailed overview of the relevant and current research literature in the field, and is a valuable tool for researchers and graduate students.Key Features: Many worked examples of representative quantum systems, together with their physical interpretations and the main consequences of their solutions.Set of problems at the end of each chapter, not meant to complement the theory, but to give the reader dexterity in using the chapter's methodologies.Timely discussion of a recently developed, and very active field summarised as "From Few- to Many-Body Quantum Physics of Strongly Interacting Particles", and the physics of interacting quantum systems in inhomogeneous media.First, coherent, detailed monograph on the theory and methods of the field.Presents a rigorous account of the modern approaches to low-energy collisions and their use in few- and many-body physics, which have not appeared in book format.The book is relevant to a wide range of researchers and advanced students, from atomic and condensed matter physics, to photonics and nuclear physics.Written by pioneers and true experts in the field

This course text provides an introduction of classical (Boltzmann) and quantum (Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein) statistics with application to condensed matter systems.
