      Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Chemical and Biological Sensing covers the theoretical background and practical applications of various ML/AI methods toward chemical and biological sensing. No comprehensive reference text has been available previously to cover the wide breadth of this topic. The book's editors have written the first three chapters to firmly introduce the reader to fundamental ML theories that can be used for chemical/biosensing. Subsequent chapters then cover the practical applications with contributions by various experts in the field.Sections show how ML and AI-based techniques can provide solutions for: 1) identifying and quantifying target molecules when specific receptors are unavailable 2) analyzing complex mixtures of target molecules, such as gut microbiome and soil microbiome 3) analyzing high-throughput and high-dimensional data, such as drug screening, molecular interaction, and environmental toxicant analysis, 4) analyzing complex data sets where fingerprinting approach is needed This book is written primarily for upper undergraduate students, graduate students, research staff, and faculty members at teaching and research universities and colleges who are working on chemical sensing, biosensing, analytical chemistry, analytical biochemistry, biomedical imaging, medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and agricultural applications.

      A title in the Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series, Designer Drugs: Chemistry, Analysis, Regulation, Toxicology, Epidemiology & Legislation of New Psychoactive Substances presents both an overview and a guide to techniques for designer drug analysis. Proliferation of the synthesis and use of designer drugs is a serious public health problem with social, economic, and legal implications. Whether abuse is studied at the population level or the individual level, researchers need both background and highly detailed technical information on specific drugs and drug classes in order to combat the proliferation and highly damaging consequences of these substances. Author Roy Gerona provides a comprehensive discussion that emphasizes the potential threat to society, presents the ongoing challenges confronting the various laboratory approaches to detection and identification of new chemical entities, and informs the development of improved analytical solutions for use in legislation, law enforcement, and treatment.Designer Drugs: Chemistry, Analysis, Regulation, Toxicology, Epidemiology & Legislation of New Psychoactive Substances offers an introduction to the field and a source of information on specific drugs, drug effects, and analytical tools to a wide audience for anyone studying or engaging in designer drug analysis. Analytical and medical chemists, pharmacologist, toxicologists, and students, researchers, and policy makers in the fields of drug abuse, medicine, public health, and forensics will greatly benefit from this essential text.

      **2025 Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA) Textbook Excellence "Texty" Award Winner**Organic Synthesis, Fifth Edition provides a reaction-based approach to this important branch of organic chemistry. Updated and accessible, this eagerly-awaited revision offers a comprehensive foundation for graduate students coming from disparate backgrounds and knowledge levels, providing them with critical working knowledge of basic reactions, stereochemistry, and conformational principles. This reliable resource uniquely incorporates molecular modeling content, problems, and visualizations, and includes reaction examples and homework problems drawn from the latest in the current literature.There have been advancements in organic reactions, particularly organometallic reactions, and there is a need to show how these advancements have influenced current organic synthesis. The goal is to revise and update the reaction examples taken from the synthesis literature from 2017 to 2023. The reactions illustrate those used most often in modern organic synthesis, but these new examples will show their current relevance. Where new approaches and reactions have been developed for organic synthesis, examples have been added as new material.

      Chemometrics: Data Treatment and Applications demonstrates best practices for treating real-world analytical instrument data and how to apply chemometrics to this data. Rather than focusing on the mathematical theory involved in chemometrics, the book is meant for the industrial chemist, academics, and advanced students that want to use chemometrics in practice. Case studies on several applications are presented. Unlike existing literature, this book focuses on best practices, practical realities, and challenges when treating data, rather than on the mathematical theory. It also provides basic information on chemometrics and the best practices used to treat data from different analytical instruments.The book is written primarily for analytic chemists as practitioners in analytical laboratories and other industries. It will also be useful to academics and graduate, masters and postdoc students chiefly working in analytical chemistry who want to improve the practical aspects of their research activities.
