Nanoplasmonics is an area that uses light to couple electrons in metals, and can break the diffraction limit for light confinement into subwavelength zones, allowing for strong field enhancements. In the last two decades, there has been a resurgence of this research topic and its applications. Thus, this Special Issue presents a collection of articles and reviews by international researchers and is devoted to the recent advances in and insights into this research topic, including plasmonic devices, plasmonic biosensing, plasmonic photocatalysis, plasmonic photovoltaics, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy.

This book is a collection of recent publications from researchers all over the globe in the broad area of high-voltage engineering. The presented research papers cover both experimental and simulation studies, with a focus on topics related to insulation monitoring using state-of-the-art sensors and advanced machine learning algorithms. Special attention was given in the Special Issue to partial discharge monitoring as one of the most important techniques in insulation condition assessment. Moreover, this Special Issue contains several articles which focus on different modeling techniques that help researchers to better evaluate the condition of insulation systems. Different power system assets are addressed in this book, including transformers, outdoor insulators, underground cables, and gas-insulated substations.

Modelling and simulation in acoustics is currently gaining importance. In fact, with the development and improvement of innovative computational techniques and with the growing need for predictive models, an impressive boost has been observed in several research and application areas, such as noise control, indoor acoustics, and industrial applications. This led us to the proposal of a special issue about “Modelling, Simulation and Data Analysis in Acoustical Problems”, as we believe in the importance of these topics in modern acoustics’ studies. In total, 81 papers were submitted and 33 of them were published, with an acceptance rate of 37.5%. According to the number of papers submitted, it can be affirmed that this is a trending topic in the scientific and academic community and this special issue will try to provide a future reference for the research that will be developed in coming years.
