However, the term can also capture the underlying processes that drive the behavior of complex natural systems such as communities of different organisms in the environment and networked collections of neurons in the human brain. This book provides a representative overview of current challenges and recent advances in the broadly-defined "processes" field. Contributions from leading researchers in the field are conveniently ordered according to five applications domains: chemical systems, biological systems, materials processes, computational methods, and other related topics. The 19 contributions demonstrate the broad range of application domains within the process field, including fluid flow systems, fuel gases, chemical production, polymer manufacturing, food processing, protein synthesis and separation, pharmaceutical production, and water systems. This collection shows that "processes" remain a vibrant area of research, and continued advances in the field can be expected to have a positive impact on our economy, environment, and quality of life. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $amaterials manufacturing 610 $amathematical modeling 610 $achemical processes 610 $abioengineering 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aHenson$b Michael A$022863 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346860203321 996 $aFeature Papers for Celebrating the Fifth Anniversary of the Founding of Processes$94322667 997 $aUNINA
