Intelligent systems research is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the development of systems that can perceive, reason, and act autonomously. This can include areas such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and robotics. The goal of intelligent systems research is to develop systems that can understand, learn from, and adapt to their environment, to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence.Business and innovation research is an interdisciplinary field that examines how organizations can create, develop, and implement new ideas, products, and services. This can include areas such as organizational behaviour, strategic management, and marketing. The goal of business and innovation research is to understand how organizations can foster an environment that encourages creativity and innovation, and how they can develop and implement new ideas in a way that leads to success.Intelligent Systems, Business and Innovation Research is a research area that brings together these two fields to study the use of intelligent systems and technologies in the business context to drive innovation, improve operational efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. The book aims to understand how intelligent systems can be used in business applications, how to design and implement them, how to manage the associated challenges, and how to leverage them to foster innovation, create new business models, and gain competitive advantage. It offers guidance on how to navigate potential conflicts and challenges that may arise during multidisciplinary research in areas such as Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, modern machine learning, software agent applications, and data science. The book focuses on the various fields in which intelligent systems play a critical role in enabling the development of advanced technologies that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. For example, in smart/control systems, intelligent algorithms can be used to optimize the performance of machines and devices, while in cyber security, they can be used to protect networks and data from cyber-attacks. In bioinformatics, intelligent systems can be used to analyse large amounts of biological data, while in virtual reality and robotics, they can be used to create realistic and responsive simulations and automatons. Additionally, the book also highlights the rapidly advancing theoretical foundations of fuzzy sets, mathematical logic, and non-classical logic. These are important theoretical frameworks for the development of intelligent systems, as they provide the foundation for the representation and manipulation of uncertainty, complexity, and imprecision.

Circular Built Environment
This gold open access book presents an integrated perspective on the implementation of circular economy principles across the building lifecycle, developed within the framework of the COST Action CircularB – Implementation of Circular Economy in the Built Environment. It combines research on circular design strategies, conceptual-stage decision-making, and BIM-enabled digital implementation frameworks to support the transition from linear to circular construction practices. The book explores how circularity can be embedded from the earliest architectural and engineering design stages through strategies such as design for adaptability, reversibility, disassembly, modularity, material efficiency, reuse, refurbishment, and lifecycle extension. Particular attention is given to the role of early-stage design decisions in shaping the future environmental performance, resource efficiency, and recovery potential of buildings. Drawing on systematic literature reviews, comparative analyses, stakeholder surveys, and international case studies, the contributions identify current barriers, implementation gaps, and opportunities for scaling circular practices in the built environment. The findings demonstrate that, although circularity strategies are increasingly considered during the design and material selection phases, their integration into building operation, digital lifecycle management, governance frameworks, and circular business models remains limited. As a result, most current applications still focus on isolated interventions rather than fully integrated circular systems implemented consistently across the entire building lifecycle.

Cryogenic Process Engineering
Cryogenics, a term commonly used to refer to very low temperatures, had its beginning in the latter half of the last century when man learned, for the first time, how to cool objects to a temperature lower than had ever existed na tu rally on the face of the earth. The air we breathe was first liquefied in 1883 by a Polish scientist named Olszewski. Ten years later he and a British scientist, Sir James Dewar, liquefied hydrogen. Helium, the last of the so-caBed permanent gases, was finally liquefied by the Dutch physicist Kamerlingh Onnes in 1908. Thus, by the beginning of the twentieth century the door had been opened to astrange new world of experimentation in which aB substances, except liquid helium, are solids and where the absolute temperature is only a few microdegrees away. However, the point on the temperature scale at which refrigeration in the ordinary sense of the term ends and cryogenics begins has ne ver been weB defined. Most workers in the field have chosen to restrict cryogenics to a tem perature range below -150°C (123 K). This is a reasonable dividing line since the normal boiling points of the more permanent gases, such as helium, hydrogen, neon, nitrogen, oxygen, and air, lie below this temperature, while the more common refrigerants have boiling points that are above this temperature. Cryogenic engineering is concerned with the design and development of low-temperature systems and components.

Groundwater Resource Management Planning Strategies
Geospatial tools to Groundwater Resources explain the most recent methods in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geostatistics as they apply to groundwater through complete case studies that demonstrate actual remote sensing applications in this field. Due to the rising demand for water, its decreasing quality, and its limited supply, water resource management has grown to be a serious issue. In many places of the world, groundwater is the main supply of fresh water, but certain areas are growing unduly reliant on it, utilising groundwater more quickly than it can be replenished naturally and resulting in an unceasing decrease in water tables. For the efficient use, management, and modelling of this priceless but diminishing natural resource, systematic planning of groundwater consumption using current approaches is crucial. Remote sensing, GIS, GPS (Global Positioning Systems), and geostatistical approaches are among the effective water management methods that have developed with the introduction of powerful and fast personal computers. Now more than ever, it is possible to analyse with greater accuracy the relationships between environmental elements and human health and wellbeing. Our understanding of the continuum between environment and health consequences on many different sizes, from the global to even the individual, has evolved thanks to a number of transdisciplinary accomplishments. This book covers a wide range of geospatial health-related topics and methods, including climate change, healthcare utilisation, health disparities, air quality assessment, asthma, water quality assessment, and machine learning. It also advances scientific understanding, development, and application of geospatial technologies related to water resource management. Researchers and postgraduate students in Earth and Environmental Sciences, particularly GIS, agriculture, hydrology, natural resources, and soil science, who need to be ableto apply the most recent innovations in groundwater research in a practical way will find Case Studies in Geospatial Applications to Groundwater Resources to be a valuable resource. This edited volume will concentrate on the most recent studies and uses of geospatial methods in water resource management, offering insights into the difficulties and possibilities of applying these methods to solve practical issues.

Reading's Sedimentary Environments
The new edition of this well-known classic text again delivers an objective, model-independent view of the different ways in which rocks can be described and interpreted, using facies analysis through an understanding of sedimentary process. Throughout, this fourth edition includes recent work on the dynamics of stratigraphy, especially with respect to understanding extreme events and climate and sea-level change, new information and illustration of resulting 3D geometries, for example from seismic and ground-penetrating radar, new illustrations, including time lapse satellite and seismic imagery, as well as a summary of current research directions. The main part of the book includes specific chapters for each important depositional environment, from terrestrial to coastal and deep sea settings, with the unifying element of process and facies models. Each chapter can be used independently, as it provides a stand-alone discussion of how a particular sedimentary environment can be reconstructed from a facies analysis of a rock succession, a core, or in some cases, a seismic section or a vertical petrophysical log profile. Three new chapters have been included: 'The Application of Biogenic Sedimentary Structures to Facies Analysis' addresses the effect of biota on sedimentation, and the interpretation of evidence of biological activity such as burrowing and microbial life; 'Pelagic Environments' discusses Milankovitch cyclicity and time series records of climate change, as well as what can and cannot be learned about the evolution of the oceans; 'Extra-terrestrial Sedimentology' summarizes what is known about the sedimentology and sedimentary facies of Mars, the moons of Jupiter, the Moon and other solar system bodies. These additions are in line with a broader approach to Earth Systems Science and reflect the current developments in the field.
