  4. The Black Swan
    1. Nassim Nicholas , Taleb

    The Black Swan

    THE BLACK SWAN is a concept that will change the way you look at the world. Black Swans underlie almost everything, from the rise of religions, to events in our own lives. A Black Swan is a highly improbable event with three principle characteristics: it is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random and more predictable than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. Why do we always ignore the phenomenon of Black Swans until after they occur? As Taleb reveals, we are hard-wired not to truly estimate risk, too vulnerable to the impulse to simplify and not open enough to rewarding those who can imagine the 'impossible'. In this revelatory book, Taleb explains everything we know about what we don't know, and shows us how to face the world.

  11. Nanomaterial-Enabled Environmental Remediation and Removal of Emerging Pollutants

    Nanomaterial-Enabled Environmental Remediation and Removal of Emerging Pollutants

    Environmental pollution poses a threat to public health and the ecological environment. Fortunately, the rapid development of nanotechnology has opened up new opportunities for more efficient and cost-effective pollution control and environmental remediation. A range of novel nanomaterials have been explored for the enhanced removal of various legacy and emerging pollutants via adsorption, membrane separation, catalytic oxidation/ reduction/hydrolysis, photocatalysis, etc., thereby contributing to global environmental protection and sustainable development. In fact, the application of nanomaterials for pollution control and environmental remediation has emerged as one of the most active and productive research frontiers in the field of environmental science and engineering.This Special Issue comprises two comprehensive reviews and eight original research articles, with international authorship from six countries. These papers highlight recent progress in the development of nanomaterials, including metal-based, carbon-based, and composite nanomaterials, for the removal of both organic pollutants (e.g., pesticides, dyes, and formaldehyde) and heavy metals. The advances and insights presented herein will inspire further innovation and foster interdisciplinary collaboration, ultimately contributing to safer, more efficient, and sustainable nanotechnology for environmental protection applications.
