Methods in Molecular Modelling: Methods, Algorithms and Implementation

  • 1st Edition
  • May 1, 2099
  • David O. Scanlon
  • English
Methods in Molecular Modelling: Methods, Algorithms and Implementation offers a brief and concise overview of methods available for materials modeling, enabling readers to identify the right level of theory for their calculations. The book explains each method, providing an understanding on which method and level of theory to apply to get trusted results for minimum computational costs. It serves as the foundational volume for a series that explores different application areas in detail. The theoretical foundations of methods for modeling molecules and materials are complex, and in addition to physics and chemistry, require a solid understanding of mathematics and programming. Beginners in this area will appreciate helpful case studies and examples of applications in this book rather than the derivation of complicated equations. Through a balanced ratio of theoretical background of methods and practical application of these methods to representative problems from physics, chemistry, and materials science, this book teaches how to perform calculations that enable them to design new materials. More experienced researchers will also appreciate the practical applications described that can be used to prepare lectures.

Fabric Phase Sorptive Extraction

  • 1st Edition
  • March 1, 2099
  • Abuzar Kabir + 1 more
  • English
Fabric Phase Sorptive Extraction: Principles, Applications and Potentials covers a new preparation technique that combines the extraction mechanisms of two major sample preparation techniques—solid phase extraction (governed by exhaustive extraction) and solid phase microextraction (governed by equilibrium-based extraction)—into a single sample preparation platform. In addition, FPSE allows researchers to utilize all the extraction phases available for both solid phase extraction and solid phase microextraction. Edited by the inventor of Fabric Phase Sorptive Extraction (FPSE), this book educates on the role of sample preparation in modern separation science and approaches that can be used to simplify and greenify this important step. Sample preparation remains a matter of great concern and interest among academics, researchers and scientists as it is undoubtedly a major source of error and the most time-consuming step in the analytical/bioanalytical workflow, and the lack of harmonization among different sample preparation technologies inherently creates disparity in the data quality.

  • English
A Practical Guide to Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence discusses how a wide range of samples can be analyzed using Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF) to obtain meaningful, accurate results. Sections describe the theoretical aspects of methods and applications, emphasizing a practical approach, including advantages and limitations. The primary concept throughout the book is the chemical measurement process and how it applies to TXRF analysis, including aspects like samples, sample handling and quantification. Key case studies emphasizing the strength of the method are included. The book also explains the calibration of instrument and method, experimental parameters to apply, quantification procedures, and spectra evaluation.This book serves as a valuable resource for users and users-to-be in the field of elemental and trace analysis. All co-authors offer extensive experience in the field of TXRF and can guide users through the chemical measurement process of a specific field of application including what elements are most suitable, and what issues may occur.

Small Molecule Approaches to Regenerative Therapies

  • 1st Edition
  • February 1, 2099
  • Graham M. Wynne + 1 more
  • English
Small Molecule Approaches to Regenerative Therapies:Fundamentals, Opportunities and Challenges provides comprehensive coverage of a new and emerging area for the development of novel therapeutics. The approach offers significant potential for paradigm changing drugs in areas of healthcare which have proven challenging or recalcitrant to conventional strategies. Following over 50 years of research in the area, pioneering work using stem cell therapies has demonstrated promise in a number of disease areas, but it has been challenging to translate this approach into clinically meaningful outcomes. Approaches using small molecules, where the translational pathway to the clinic is much better understood, build on a better understanding of exogenous stem cell mediated therapeutic mechanisms. A comprehensive overview of the background, status, and potential for small molecule regenerative medicines is provided across a range of therapeutic areas, with multiple case studies. The unique challenges for drug discovery which are specific to the regenerative medicine arena are highlighted. This book will be a valuable resource to researchers working in medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and biotechnology, in academia and industry.

Pyrazole-Based Drug Discovery

  • 1st Edition
  • December 1, 2029
  • Nachiket S. Dighe + 1 more
  • English
Pyrazole-Based Drug Discovery outlines complexities of the pyrazole scaffold used in drug discovery, including derivative chemistry, structural properties, methods of synthesis, and practical implementations. Designed as a guide for both experts and students working in this and related areas, this volume will facilitate the continued design and development of novel pharmaceuticals based on pyrazole and its derivatives. Pyrazole is a novel heterocycle with anti-fungal, antimicrobial, anti-tubercular, and antipsychotic pharmacological activities, proving to be a promising agent for medicinal chemists to synthesize various new chemical entities with desired biological activities. Heterocyclic compounds are of central importance to medicinal chemistry, as demonstrated by the high percentage of marketable drugs that feature heterocyclic fragments in their structures. As starting points for drug discovery, they offer a broad range of attractive properties, and a detailed understanding of the particular characteristics of each is of great benefit to researchers. This book is ideal for researchers working in organic and medicinal chemistry both in academia and industry.

  • English
MATLAB® for Chemometricians, Volume 33 provides a complete introduction to the topic of MATLAB programming. Written by, and for, chemometricians, the book presents a very practical and task-oriented introduction on how to use MATLAB. Programming tips are contextualized within specific chemometric objectives, and each practical section is accompanied by theoretical background that describes the basic chemometrics concepts behind the algorithms for deeper understanding. The book starts from scratch (i.e., descriptions of the basic MATLAB layout and how to perform the most elementary algebraic operations) and leads readers through increasingly demanding tasks. Programming tricks are introduced when discussing specific problems in a concrete manner. Readers will not only be able to use existing chemometric toolboxes, but also to write and develop their own, even with the possibility of building graphical user interfaces.
