      Understanding Molecular Simulation explains molecular simulation from a chemical-physics and statistical-mechanic... perspective. It highlights how physical concepts are used to develop better algorithms and expand the range of applicability of simulations. Understanding Molecular Simulation is equally relevant for those who develop new code and those who use existing packages. Both groups are continuously confronted with the question of which computational technique best suits a given application. Understanding Molecular Simulation provides readers with the foundational knowledge they need to learn about, select and apply the most appropriate of these tools to their own work. The implementation of simulation methods is illustrated in pseudocodes, and their practical use is shown via case studies presented throughout the text. Since the second edition’s publication, the simulation world has expanded significantly: existing techniques have continued to develop, and new ones have emerged, opening up novel application areas. This new edition aims to describe these new developments without becoming exhaustive; examples are included that highlight current uses, and several new examples have been added to illustrate recent applications. Examples, case studies, questions, and downloadable algorithms are also included to support learning. No prior knowledge of computer simulation is assumed.

      Analytical Nanochemistry provides readers with a comprehensive review of the application of nanomaterial in analytical chemistry. It explains the fundamental concepts involved in utilizing nanomaterials including their classification, synthesis, functionalization, characterization methods, separation, and isolation techniques, as well as toxicity. It also covers fundamental information on different aspects of analytical procedures and method development. Furthermore, it emphasizes micro- and nano-enabled analytical devices and instruments as well as nanotools for nanoanalysis. The book opens with a section on fundamentals (Section 1), then continues with a section on the role of nanomaterials in analytical procedures (Section 2), including sample preparation, separation, and detection. The third section (Section 3) includes chapters on micro- and nano-enabled devices, as most miniaturized microsystems include nanofeatures. The book concludes with a fourth section (Section 4) on future perspectives, covering nanoanalysis, bioanalysis, toxic risks, and limitations of both technology and commercialization. This book serves as a valuable resource for students, instructors, and researchers in analytical chemistry, nanomaterials, and nanotechnology investigating the use of nanotechnology in their analytical procedures.

      The Kirkwood-Buff Theory of Solutions: With Selected Applications to Solvation and Proteins presents the Kirkwood-Buff (KB) Theory of solution in a simple and didactic manner, making it understandable to those with minimal background in thermodynamics. Aside from the fact that the KB Theory may be the most important and useful theory of solutions, it is also the most general theory that can be applied to all possible solutions, including aqueous solutions of proteins and nucleic acids. Introductory chapters give readers grounding in the necessary chemical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, but then move to a systematic derivation of Kirkwood-Buff theory and its inversion. Originally published in 1951, the KB theory was dormant for over 20 years. It became extremely useful after the publication of the "Inversion of the KB theory" by the author Arieh Ben-Naim in 1978. The book explains all necessary concepts in statistical mechanics featured in the theory in a simple and intuitive way. Researchers will find the theory useful in solving any problem in mixtures or solutions in any phase. Some examples of applications of the KB theory, to water, aqueous solutions, protein folding, and self-association of proteins, are provided in the book.
