Raccontata ai piedi del Monte Maio nell’Antica Terra di Lavoro, oggi la storia di Vincenzo Del Seni potrebbe essere quella di ogni contadino suonatore e cantore della nostra penisola. Vincenzo, Orfeo dalle mani callose ma agili, è un eroe dei nostri tempi e il suo organetto non è un curioso e simpatico oggetto da museo delle tradizioni popolari, ma una scatola di nostre memorie, poetiche e musicali che, come fenomeni carsici, filtrano e riemergono anche nella musica viva dell’oggi, evocand...

Bridging Scales in Modelling and Simulation of Reacting Flows, Part B, Volume 53, presents key methods used to bridge scales in the simulation of reacting multiphase flows. It looks at the different aspects of such flows (transport phenomena, reactions) and includes illustrations of the methods on a variety of applications, along with the contribution of key groups in the field. Sections in this new release include multi-scale methods for fluidized bed reactors, a discussion of advances in...

Bridging Scales in Modelling and Simulating Reacting Flows, Part I , Volume 52 presents key methods to bridge scales in the simulation of reacting single phase flows. New sections in the updated release include topics such as quadrature-based moment methods for multiphase chemically reacting flows, the collaboration of experiments and simulations for the development of predictive models, a simulation of turbulent coalescence and breakage of bubbles and droplets in the presence of surfactan...

Diet has consistently been shown to be the dominant source of exposure to the majority of contaminants that pose a threat to human health. However, there is concern that current methods for detection, analysis and risk assessment of chemical residues in food may not accurately reflect the complex cocktail of contaminants to which different groups may be exposed.Chemical contaminants in foods: Understanding and managing risks provides a comprehensive overview of new approac...

Video games: a complex medium whose popularity is growing extremely rapidly, posing new challenges in the education of children and young people Children, teenagers and young people today live in a world profoundly influenced by technology and digital media. It has become almost impossible not to come into contact with mobile phones, tablets, laptops, console games and other forms of technology, whether for educational or entertainment purposes. Video games are an important aspect of this ...

This open access book introduces and explains machine learning (ML) algorithms and techniques developed for statistical inferences on a complex process or system and their applications to simulations of chemically reacting turbulent flows.These two fields, ML and turbulent combustion, have large body of work and knowledge on their own, and this book brings them together and explain the complexities and challenges involved in applying ML techniques to simulate and study reacting flo...
