The phenomenon of hopping, in which a particle executes a series of jumps between discrete states, has a fundamental role in a wide range of solid state transport phenomena. In these proceedings acknowledged experts in the field describe important recent progress in developing the phenomenology of hopping processes and applying it to different systems, including crystalline and amorphous semiconductors, glasses, polymers, mesoscopic conductors and high temperature superconductors.

This book presents collaborative research presented by experts in the field of nonlinear science provides the reader with contemporary, cutting-edge, research works that bridge the gap between theory and device realizations of nonlinear phenomena. The conference provides a unique forum for applications of nonlinear systems while solving practical problems in science and engineering. Topics include: chaos gates, social networks, communication, sensors, lasers, molecular motors, biomedical anomalies, and stochastic resonance. This book provides a comprehensive report of the various research projects presented at the International Conference on Applications in Nonlinear Dynamics (ICAND 2018) held in Maui, Hawaii, 2018. It can be a valuable tool for scientists and engineering interested in connecting ideas and methods in nonlinear dynamics with actual design, fabrication and implementation of engineering applications or devices.

In international workshops on “New Worlds in Astroparticle Physics” held biannually, astronomers, astrophysicists and particle physicists discuss recent developments in the exciting and rapidly developing field of Astroparticle Physics. Similar to previous workshops, this 5th international workshop introduced experimental, observational and theoretical subjects through review lectures. This was followed by shorter contributions on the recent developments in Astroparticle Physics. This workshop covered an array of subjects like cosmic rays, gravitational waves, space radiation, neutrino physics, cosmological parameters, black holes, dark matter and dark energy.
