Undoubtedly, drinking water of an acceptable quality has become a scarce commodity. Water shortage is becoming a major concern all around the world due to limited freshwater resources as well as the high cost of freshwater transportation from freshwater-rich areas to arid areas. As a result, solutions such as water recycling and desalination of saline or brackish water are being introduced and emerging worldwide as alternative ways of supplying water. Desalination of seawater is known to be one of mankind's earliest forms of water treatment, and it has become one of the most sustainable alternative solutions to provide freshwater for many communities and industrial sectors. This book aims to cover the challenges and opportunities in desalination processes.

Due to industrialization and increasing population, water demand continues to grow at compound annual growth rates of 7-8%. The current demand is also intensified by increased water utilization for hand washing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, around 20,000 desalination plants operating around the world produce 100 million cubic meters of water per day to supply 300 million people. These desalination plants are a major source of environmental and marine pollution due to their inefficient operation. Scientists and researchers are encouraged to develop out-of-box solutions to achieve future sustainability. This book addresses key challenges related to the desalination industry.

This book reviews recent trends, developments, and technologies of energy storage devices and their applications. It describes the electrical equivalent circuit model of batteries, the technology of battery energy storage systems in rooftop solar-photovoltaic (PV) systems, and the implementation of second-life batteries in hybrid electric vehicles. It also considers a novel energy management control strategy for PV batteries operating in DC microgrids, along with the present state and opportunities of solid-state batteries. In addition, the book examines the technology of thin-film energy storage devices based on physical vapor deposition as well as the challenges of ionic polymer-metal composite membranes. Furthermore, due to the novel battery technology in energy storage devices, this book covers the structural, optical, and related electrical studies of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) bearing in mind the applications of gel polymer electrolytes in solid-state batteries. Since energy storage plays a vital role in renewable energy systems, another salient part of this book is the research on phase change materials for maximum solar energy utilization and improvement. This volume is a useful reference for readers who wish to familiarize themselves with the newest advancements in energy storage systems.

The Handbook of Leaving Religion introduces a neglected field of research with the aim to outline previous and contemporary research, and suggest how the topic of leaving religion should be studied in the future. The handbook consists of three sections: 1) Major debates about leaving religion; 2) Case studies and empirical insights; and 3) Theoretical and methodological approaches. Section one provides the reader with an introduction to key terms, historical developments, major controversies and significant cases. Section two includes case studies that illustrate various processes of leaving religion from different perspectives, and each chapter provides new empirical insights. Section three discusses, presents and encourages new approaches to the study of leaving religion.

Adam Neuser raconte l'histoire vraie d'un pasteur protestant émigré à Istanbul et converti à l'islam à la fin du xvie siècle. L'art d'écrire lessingien, son jeu avec l'érudition remplissent cependant le récit de leurres. On comprend vite que la conversion d'Adam Neuser n'est pas l'essentiel, pas plus que l'affinité supposée de l'islam avec le déisme. Adam Neuser constitue l'une des réflexions les plus rigoureuses des Lumières allemandes sur leur propre histoire, celle d'une société traversée par la distinction confessionnelle. À travers son interrogation sur l'appartenance religieuse et la proclamation des croyances, le texte ouvre des voies pour penser la religion naturelle aujourd'hui.

Pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage, ouvert par un psychologue des religions, a rassemblé littéraires, historiens et linguistes autour de la question de la conversion, de l'Antiquité au XXIe siècle. Il conduit son lecteur de l'Italie antique à l'Espagne moderne, de l'Allemagne à l'Angleterre ou la Hongrie, sans oublier la France, sa littérature médiévale ou ses grands romanciers, parfois inattendus sur le sujet. Les recherches historiques les plus pointues, les réalités, y côtoient le discours, l'écriture et ses textes. Ces approches croisées, entre disciplines, siècles et espaces renouvellent une question majeure, actuellement redécouverte par la recherche. Majeure car toute la culture européenne s'est construite autour de la conversion massive au christianisme consécutive à l'écroulement du polythéisme romain. La conversion est donc affaire de pouvoir, de politique et de sociétés. Elle peut, par le théâtre religieux en particulier, s'adresser aux foules. Certaines époques la montrent violente, contrainte, irrespectueuse de toute hétérodoxie. Mais elle est aussi une démarche individuelle, un retournement de l'être le plus intime, un appel de la transcendance dans la singularité d'une vie. Saint Paul ou saint Augustin ont érigé en modèle spirituel ces moments où meurt leur ancienne vie. Les auteurs du présent volume s'attachent à la conversion sous l'angle plus spécifique de son récit, entendu comme modèle littéraire, souvent autobiographique, et réflexion théologique offerte à autrui. Ils confrontent ce discours de convertis, mais aussi le discours sur eux, aux réalités, individuelles et collectives, religieuses et culturelles, de la conversion, contribuant à préciser la définition de celle-ci.
