Quaternionic Generalized Inverses introduces and applies the theory of row-column determinants for the study of quaternion matrices, and thus empowers student and faculty research across wider areas of matrix theory, real, and complex analysis. Here, quaternion linear algebra is considered alongside core aspects of matrix theory, including the construction of an inverse matrix and Cramer's rule for constructing quaternion systems of linear equations, the core inverse, the core-EP inverse, and various composite inverses. Similarly, main frameworks of generalized inverse theory, such as the Moore-Penrose and Drazin inverse, are introduced and demonstrated across exercises in text. Inter-related concepts of differential equations, discrete analogies, advanced calculus modeling, and approximation theory highlight wider areas of applications. Problems, solutions, and chapter conclusions across the book further reinforce learning and application, and recommendations for course integration help faculty incorporate chapter material in their teaching.

Over the past 50 years, more than 20,000 natural compounds have been identified in the marine environment, with an increasing focus on marine metabolites as potential sources for developing effective therapeutic agents. The field of marine drug discovery has seen remarkable growth in recent years, with numerous marine-derived therapeutic candidates in various stages of clinical trials or awaiting approval. The ocean is a potential source of natural products with diverse pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, commercializing marine natural products has been challenging due to low yields and specificity of specialized (secondary) metabolites. Marine Specialized (Secondary) Metabolites and their Diverse Applications provides a broad overview of marine specialized metabolites and their potential in various industries. With comprehensive coverage, relevance to current trends, interdisciplinary approach, and practical applications, this book includes specific compounds or organisms, with a particular focus on addressing the challenges and limitations associated with them.
