Abstract

This comprehensive book contains contributions from specialists who provide a complete status update along with outstanding issues encompassing different topics related to deep-sea mining. Interest in exploration and exploitation of deep-sea minerals is seeing a revival due to diminishing grades and increasing costs of processing of terrestrial minerals as well as availability of several strategic metals in seabed mineral resources; it therefore becomes imperative to take stock of various issues related to deep-sea mining.  The authors are experienced scientists and engineers from around the globe developing advanced technologies for mining and metallurgical extraction as well as performing deep sea exploration for several decades. They invite readers to learn about the resource potential of different deep-sea minerals, design considerations and development of mining systems, and the potential environmental impacts of mining in international waters.

Abstract

This book is a sequel to 'Deep-sea mining: resource potential, technical and environmental considerations' (2017) and 'Environmental issues of deep-sea mining: impacts, consequences and policy perspectives' (2019), and aims to provide a comprehensive volume on the evolution of different aspects and perspectives of deep-sea mining from specialists around the world. The work is timely, as deep-sea minerals continue to enthuse researchers involved in activities such as ascertaining their potential as alternative sources for critical metals for green energy and other industrial applications, as well as technology development for their sustainable exploration and exploitation while addressing environmental concerns. With a steady increase in the number of contractors having exclusive rights over large tracts on the seafloor in the 'Area', i.e. regions beyond national jurisdictions, the International Seabed Authority is mandated with the responsibility of regulating such activities, and is in the process of developing a code for exploitation of deep-sea minerals. These coupled with growing interest among private entrepreneurs, investment companies and policy makers underlines the need for updated information to be made available in one place on the subject of deep-sea mining. The book evaluates the potential and sustainability of mining for deep-sea minerals compared to other land-based deposits, the technologies needed for mining, and processing of ores, approach towards environmental monitoring and management, as well as the regulatory frameworks and legal challenges to manage deep-sea mining activities. The book is expected to serve as an important reference for all stake holders including researchers, contractors, mining companies, regulators and NGOs involved in deep-sea mining. .

Abstract

Discover how project Reactor enhances the reactive programming paradigm and allows you to build scalable asynchronous applications Key Features Use reactive APIs, Flux, and Mono to implement reactive extensions Create concurrent applications without the complexity of Java's concurrent API Understand techniques to implement event-driven and reactive applications Book Description Reactor is an implementation of the Java 9 Reactive Streams specification, an API for asynchronous data processing. This specification is based on a reactive programming paradigm, enabling developers to build enterprise-grade, robust applications with reduced complexity and in less time. Hands-On Reactive Programming with Reactor shows you how Reactor works, as well as how to use it to develop reactive applications in Java. The book begins with the fundamentals of Reactor and the role it plays in building effective applications. You will learn how to build fully non-blocking applications and will later be guided by the Publisher and Subscriber APIs. You will gain an understanding how to use two reactive composable APIs, Flux and Mono, which are used extensively to implement Reactive Extensions. All of these components are combined using various operations to build a complete solution. In addition to this, you will get to grips with the Flow API and understand backpressure in order to control overruns. You will also study the use of Spring WebFlux, an extension of the Reactor framework for building microservices. By the end of the book, you will have gained enough confidence to build reactive and scalable microservices. What you will learn Explore benefits of the Reactive paradigm and the Reactive Streams API Discover the impact of Flux and Mono implications in Reactor Expand and repeat data in stream processing Get to grips with various types of processors and choose the best one Understand how to map errors to make corrections easier Create robust tests using testing utilities offered by Reactor Find the best way to schedule the execution of code Who this book is for If you're looking to develop event- and data-driven applications easily with Reactor, this book is for you. Sound knowledge of Java fundamentals is necessary to understand the concepts covered in the book.

Abstract

Become proficient in designing, developing and deploying effective software systems using the advanced constructs of Rust Key Features Improve your productivity using the latest version of Rust and write simpler and easier code Understand Rust's immutability and ownership principle, expressive type system, safe concurrency Deep dive into the new doamins of Rust like WebAssembly, Networking and Command line tools Book Description Rust is an empowering language that provides a rare combination of safety, speed, and zero-cost abstractions. Mastering Rust ? Second Edition is filled with clear and simple explanations of the language features along with real-world examples, showing you how you can build robust, scalable, and reliable programs. This second edition of the book improves upon the previous one and touches on all aspects that make Rust a great language. We have included the features from latest Rust 2018 edition such as the new module system, the smarter compiler, helpful error messages, and the stable procedural macros. You'll learn how Rust can be used for systems programming, network programming, and even on the web. You'll also learn techniques such as writing memory-safe code, building idiomatic Rust libraries, writing efficient asynchronous networking code, and advanced macros.

Abstract

This book focuses on general issues of deep-sea mining for seafloor mineral deposits, as well as the scientific, technical, legal and policy issues related to impacts on the water column. The topic is a growing area of significance due to the ongoing conversations on this issue in the world community, in view of the large-scale consequences resulting from operations of different components of deep-sea mining systems. The chapters are divided in five sections, and are contributed by highly acclaimed scientists, technologists, lawyers and administrators who have decades of experience working on these topics. The information compiled in the book is expected to serve as an important reference for all stakeholders including researchers, contractors, mining companies, regulators and NGOs involved in deep-sea mining and marine environmental conservation. Section 1 provides an overall view of the current status of deep-sea mining and issues related to the water column. Section 2 looks at the engineering considerations for technology related to mining, handling of bulk solids in the marine environment, transporting the ores from seabed to shore as well as processing of deep-sea minerals. Section 3 discusses various approaches for assessment of impacts of deep-sea mining on the water column. Section 4 assesses the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of the water column in different oceans of the world. Finally, section 5 deals with legal, policy and economic aspects of deep-sea mining.

Abstract

Explore the new way of building and maintaining test cases with Java test driven development (TDD) using JUnit 5. This book doesn't just talk about the new concepts, it shows you ways of applying them in TDD and Java 8 to continuously deliver code that excels in all metrics.  Unit testing and test driven development have now become part of every developer's skill set. For Java developers, the most popular testing tool has been JUnit, and JUnit 5 is built using the latest features of Java.  With Java Unit Testing with JUnit 5, you'll master these new features, including method parameters, extensions, assertions and assumptions, and dynamic tests. You'll also see how to write clean tests with less code.  This book is a departure from using older practices and presents new ways of performing tests, building assertions, and injecting dependencies. .
