    Artificial Intelligence for the Water-Energy-Food Nexus considers the interrelationships among water, energy, and food, which are key to sustainable development, and the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a useful tool to facilitate research and development within and between these areas as well as Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus.The first chapter introduces the WEF nexus concepts, assessment/analysis methodologies and tools, challenges, trends, and future perspectives. The second chapter summarizes AI applications to the water sector/industry with a focus on the importance, general applications and real-world applications, as well as challenges and future perspectives. The third chapter focuses on the application of AI techniques to the water and wastewater treatment systems including treatment processes, urban drinking water systems, and integrated urban drainage systems. The fourth chapter explores the application of AI techniques to the non-renewable and renewable energy systems, load monitoring, load demand forecasting, smart grids, energy optimization and process control, energy storage systems, and case studies and real-world applications as well as challenges in AI application to the energy industry and future directions. The application of AI techniques in the food industry in areas of organoleptic properties, nutrition, toxicology, and food chemistry, biotechnology processes and microbiology security, food processing and manufacturing, conservation and storage conditions, supply chain, markets, and distribution, and food industry environments (circular economy, water, and energy management) as well as challenges and opportunities are discussed in the fifth chapter. The final chapter reviews/presents the application of AI techniques to address problems associated with the WEF nexus.This book can be of interest to all those who are looking to understand and utilize AI techniques in the context of water, energy, food, and WEF nexus, including researchers, advanced students, faculty, engineers, R&D, industry professionals, and policymakers.

  • Density Functional Theory

    Current Trends and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 25
    • Aleksey E. Kuznetsov
    • English
    Density Functional Theory: Current Trends and Applications first examines the foundational knowledge surrounding DFT, examining some of its key concepts, such as the Thomas–Fermi model and the Hohenberg–Kohn–Sham theory; looking at the wealth of exchange–correlation functionals; and the advantages and disadvantages of DFT compared to the MO (molecular orbital ) theory and other methods, before exploring the areas of future DFT development. The second section then examines the practical methods and approaches for DFT, looking at the types of density functionals, such as LSDA (local spin-density approximation), GGA (generalized gradient approximation), and meta-GGA functionals; hybrid functionals; DFTB (density functional tight binding) methods; dispersion-corrected functionals; time-dependent DFT; and the plane-wave approach. It also looks at the relationships between DFT and ab initio molecular dynamics and the QM/MM (quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics) approach.This book is designed for graduate- and postgraduate-level students and postdoctoral researchers principally studying computational and physical chemistry, who want to obtain an up-to-date overview and understanding of density functional and its applications.
