Summary

Porous materials are a class of materials with a large number of small pores, typically ranging in size from a few nanometers to a few millimeters. These pores can be interconnected or isolated, and they can be filled with a variety of fluids, such as air, water, or oil. Porous materials are found in a wide variety of natural and synthetic materials, and they have a wide range of applications in fields such as energy, environmental science, and biomedicine.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanics and applications of porous materials. It covers a wide range of topics, including the properties of porous materials, the governing equations for fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media, and the applications of porous materials in a variety of fields.

The book is divided into ten chapters. The first chapter introduces the basics of porous materials, including their definition, classification, and applications. The second chapter discusses the mechanical behavior of porous materials, including their elastic properties, plasticity, and failure mechanisms. The third chapter covers fluid flow in porous media, including Darcy's law and permeability. The fourth chapter discusses heat transfer in porous media, including conduction, convection, and radiation.

The fifth chapter covers mass transfer in porous media, including diffusion and adsorption. The sixth chapter discusses coupled processes in porous media, such as thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling and chemo-mechanical coupling. The seventh chapter covers the applications of porous materials in energy applications, such as fuel cells, batteries, and solar energy. The eighth chapter discusses the applications of porous materials in environmental applications, such as water treatment and air pollution control.

The ninth chapter covers the applications of porous materials in biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering and drug delivery. The tenth chapter discusses emerging applications of porous materials, such as sensors, actuators, and microelectronics.

This book is intended for researchers, engineers, and students who are interested in the mechanics and applications of porous materials. It is also a valuable resource for professionals working in fields such as energy, environmental science, and biomedicine.

    In From Terrain to Brain, Professor Erika Szymanski makes wine science accessible to non-experts. Rather than approach wine science as body of facts about wine, Szymanski explores how wine science can open up multiple ways of seeing, understanding, and appreciating wine. 
 
 
 
Too often, wine science is presented as a comprehensive body of knowledge that enthusiasts aiming to become experts should memorize. This book instead uses scientific research to explore wine as an endlessly rich cultural phenomenon. By foregrounding recent research and developments in wine science, From Terrain to Brain presents wine science as a work-in-progress rather than a codified body of knowledge. 
 
 
 
Each chapter takes listeners on a journey or "foray" through a topic in wine science, such as minerality, climate, microbiome, and yeast. Chapters are organized from "terrain" (geography, terroir, soil) and cell "membrane" (microbiology) through "brain" (the experience of tasting) and "drain" (sustainability). Throughout, From Terrain to Brain emphasizes that wine science, wine culture, and tradition are interconnected and places scientific research in social and historical context.

    Data privacy refers to the right of individuals to have control over their personal information and the expectation that this data will be handled responsibly. It is about ensuring that sensitive data—such as health records, financial details, identification numbers, and online activity—is not accessed or shared without consent. This concept is not new, but it has taken on a whole new level of urgency in the digital era. With data becoming a key currency in the global economy, companies often collect more information than is necessary, and in many cases, users are unaware of what they are agreeing to when they accept privacy policies or terms of service. 
The evolution of privacy has mirrored the advancement of technology. In the early days, privacy was mainly about physical spaces—having the right to keep personal matters behind closed doors. But now, with the explosion of digital platforms, privacy concerns have expanded into the virtual realm. This shift has brought new challenges, such as how to manage consent in online environments, what responsibilities companies have to protect user data, and how individuals can regain some control over their personal information in a landscape designed to collect and monetize it.

    “A lovely balance of memoir, travelogue and olive-growing how-to . . . Some of her adventures are quite funny.” —Publishers Weekly In this memoir, the author of The Olive Farm returns to the ten-acre property for which she and her fiancé scraped together their savings to buy—just back from their wedding on a tiny Polynesian island, loaded down with luggage and a large hand-painted didgeridoo. As Carol and Michel settle in as husband and wife, they experience the glamor of southern France at dinner parties in the company of aristocrats and at the world-renowned Cannes film festival, as well as the dirt-caked, sun-baked life of farmers—especially after their gardener heads to Algiers to arrange his youngest son’s wedding. For Carol, though, what matters most is that her longtime dream of motherhood finally promises to come true—and over the course of The Olive Season, she shares the story of her hopes and fears as she anticipates another kind of growth and nurturing. Alternately entertaining and emotionally poignant, this memoir is a rich portrait of love, longing, and the constant uncertainties of the cycle of life.
