Design and Analysis of Secure Quantum Communication Schemes
by Ri-Gui Zhou Xiao-Xue Zhang Lin-Tao DuThis book provides a comprehensive guide to the design and analysis of quantum secure communication schemes. While quantum computers may provide a platform for arithmetic calculations which threaten classical cryptosystems, the development of quantum information has also brought a corresponding solution: quantum cryptography, which is the basis of quantum secure communication. Quantum secure communication (QSC) uses quantum states for key agreement and information transmission, and uses the basic principles of quantum mechanics to discover eavesdropping behavior, and to ensure the security of information. It can overcome the security risks of classical encryption technology and can securely distribute keys in real time via public channels. Beginning in 1984 with the first conception of quantum key distribution (QKD) based on single-photon polarization states, subsequent innovations include quantum identity authentication (QIA), quantum secret sharing (QSS), quantum direct communication (QDC), quantum key agreement (QKA), quantum private query (QPQ), and quantum network coding (QNC). Each of these schemes is explored in detail based on different environments and structures, along with specific security and feasibility analyses. This book is essential reading for academic researchers and graduate students in quantum science and technology, as well as professionals and engineers in quantum industries and cybersecurity.

Design and Construction of Phosphorus Removal Structures for Improving Water Quality
by Chad J. Penn James M. BowenThe purpose of this book is to introduce the phosphorus (P) removal structure as a new BMP for reducing dissolved P loading to surface waters from non-point source pollution, provide guidance on designing site-specific P removal structures, and provide instruction on use of the design software, "Phrog" (Phosphorus Removal Online Guidance). The book initially provides a review of the nature and sources of non-point source P pollution, examines short and long term solutions to the problem, and provides detailed theory on design and operation of the P removal structure. As with many areas of study, one of the best methods of communicating concepts is through illustrations and examples. This book is no exception; several years of experience in studying P sorption and constructing P removal structures at multiple scales and settings is utilized for providing real examples and applications. With an understanding of the P removal structure established, the reader is instructed on how to obtain all of the necessary inputs for properly designing a site-specific P removal structure for meeting a desired lifetime and performance, or predict the performance and lifetime of a previously constructed P removal structure. For the readers who already possess the Phrog design software or are interested in obtaining it, one chapter is dedicated to detailed use of the software as demonstrated with various examples of structure design and also prediction.

Design and Precise Synthesis of Thermoresponsive Polyacrylamides
by Keita FuchiseIn this thesis, the author describes versatile and easy-to-use methods to control the properties of thermoresponsive polyacrylamides by developing novel synthetic methods for end-functionalized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and block copolymers of poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEAA). The synthesis of various urea end-functionalized PNIPAMs was achieved by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and the click reaction. The phase transition temperature of PNIPAM in water was controlled depending on the strength of the hydrogen bonding of the urea groups introduced at the chain end of the polymer. Novel living polymerization methods for N,N-dimethylacrylamide and N,N-diethylacrylamide were developed by group transfer polymerization (GTP) using a strong Brønsted acid as a precatalyst and an amino silyl enolate as an initiator. This process enabled the precise synthesis of PDEAA and its block copolymers--namely, thermoresponsive amphiphilic block copolymers and double-hydrophilic block copolymers.
