Micro Fluidization

Fundamentals and Applications

By: Guangwen Xu,Dingrong Bai,Mingyan Liu,Vladimir Zivkovic

Micro Fluidization: Fundamentals and Applications provides background and history on micro fluidized bed research and development, summarizes and analyzes the hydrodynamic characteristics of gas-solid micro fluidized beds, and delves into areas such as research results of delayed onsets of minimum, bubbling and slugging fluidization regimes, as well as of the advanced transitions to turbulent and fast fluidization regimes. Based on these results, the wall effects – the key mechanism resulting in the unique behavior of micro fluidization – are analyzed. Other sections discuss gas and solid mixing characteristics in terms of gas residence time distribution, gas backmixing, and solids mixing. Final sections focus on presentations of the so-called micro fluidized bed reaction analyzer (MFBRA) – a powerful tool for catalyst screening, process development, optimization of reaction parameters, studies of reaction mechanism and kinetics, among many other purposes. The book describes, in detail, the MFBRA's system design characteristics, analytic methodologies and various applications in thermochemical and catalytic reaction analysis. - Includes up-to-date information (all related research results and insights) on micro fluidized beds, including how they are comprehensively summarized and analyzed - Describes and explains the unique characteristics of micro fluidized beds - Covers the fundamental aspects and applications related to gas-solids, liquid-solids, and gas-liquid-solids micro fluidized beds - Provides up-to-date and potential applications of micro fluidized beds

Embracing Risk

Cyber Insurance as an Incentive Mechanism for Cybersecurity

By: Mingyan Liu

This book provides an introduction to the theory and practice of cyber insurance. Insurance as an economic instrument designed for risk management through risk spreading has existed for centuries. Cyber insurance is one of the newest sub-categories of this old instrument. It emerged in the 1990s in response to an increasing impact that information security started to have on business operations. For much of its existence, the practice of cyber insurance has been on how to obtain accurate actuarial information to inform specifics of a cyber insurance contract. As the cybersecurity threat landscape continues to bring about novel forms of attacks and losses, ransomware insurance being the latest example, the insurance practice is also evolving in terms of what types of losses are covered, what are excluded, and how cyber insurance intersects with traditional casualty and property insurance. The central focus, however, has continued to be risk management through risk transfer, the key functionality of insurance. The goal of this book is to shift the focus from this conventional view of using insurance as primarily a risk management mechanism to one of risk control and reduction by looking for ways to re-align the incentives. On this front we have encouraging results that suggest the validity of using insurance as an effective economic and incentive tool to control cyber risk. This book is intended for someone interested in obtaining a quantitative understanding of cyber insurance and how innovation is possible around this centuries-old financial instrument.

Nonlinear Analysis and Prediction of Time Series in Multiphase Reactors

By: Mingyan Liu,Zongding Hu

This book reports on important nonlinear aspects or deterministic chaos issues in the systems of multi-phase reactors. The reactors treated in the book include gas-liquid bubble columns, gas-liquid-solid fluidized beds and gas-liquid-solid magnetized fluidized beds. The authors take pressure fluctuations in the bubble columns as time series for nonlinear analysis, modeling and forecasting. They present qualitative and quantitative non-linear analysis tools which include attractor phase plane plot, correlation dimension, Kolmogorov entropy and largest Lyapunov exponent calculations and local non-linear short-term prediction.

Unbecoming

By: Mingyan (Iris) Liu

From memoirs to short stories, speeches to non-fiction, fantasy to op-eds, Unbecoming is a collection of thirteen vibrant writing pieces that lay out High School student Iris Liu’s journey from Sixth to Twelfth grade. Her writing displays the story of a Chinese-American immigrant student who struggles with self-worth - but finds a medium to challenge and reflect on her Unbecoming nature and influence communities through writing. Includes: Ghost Story (Ninth Grade) - Fiction - A story about the friendship between a singing ghost and a mute boy. My Perfect Plan to Become the President of the United States (Ninth Grade) - non-fiction - How Iris intends to become the President of the United States (not really). An Informative article on the election process. Dream Baker (Tenth Grade) - Fantasy - Everyone has a dream baker living inside their mind who's responsible for baking all sorts of dreams. Sylvia, Lin's dream baker, is forced to go on an expedition to find more dream ingredients. But the world outside is not what it seems. A deadly monster called Chaos is lurking outside her kitchen, set on destroying dream ingredients and seemingly her. An Open Letter to the Educational Department of New York State (Tenth Grade) - Essay - Bias is not inherited but learned. We need to include Asian American history in the school curricula by passing Senate Bill S6359A to accurately and responsibly convey the rich history of the United States. The Quiet Girl (Eleventh Grade) - Speech - “the Asian American community, as we face the continued violation of our fundamental rights, cannot remain quiet in the corner of the classroom.” Praise: If you care deeply about your community and believe in human rights and minority equity, then put this book on your required reading list. Iris draws her passion from experience and believes in advocating for the rights of Asian American and Pacific Islanders. Her deep desire to bring peace and justice is sincerely rooted in her values as she wants to see a balance between the immigrant and main stream culture. This book, and all her work, shows her authenticity and her mission to bring that positive change which can help our society and our country to redefine democracy in its true spirit. Iris, I wish you all the best! ~Good Luck- Dr Dilshad Dayani About the author: Iris Liu was born in China and raised in New York. She is an active advocate for Asian American Rights, a writer, a student, and a public speaker.
