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.

Generalized Quantum Calculus with Applications is devoted to the qualitative theory of general quantum calculus and its applications to general quantum differential equations and inequalities. The book is aimed at upper-level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students in a range of interdisciplinary courses including physical sciences and engineering, from quantum mechanics to differential equations, with pedagogically-organized chapters that each conclude with a section of practical problems. Generalized quantum calculus includes a generalization of the q-quantum calculus and the time scale calculus. There are many open problems and difficulties in q-quantum calculus and time-scale calculus, and this book explores how to use the generalized quantum operators to solve difficulties arising in q-quantum calculus and time scale calculus including but not limited to: generalized quantum integration, generalized quantum chain rules, and generalized quantum Taylor formula.Since generalized quantum calculus includes the q-quantum calculus and time-scale calculus, this book can be utilized by a wide audience of researchers and students. This text exists as one of the few foundational books on generalized quantum calculus and can be used for future discoveries in the area of integral transforms, variational calculus, integral equations, and inequalities in the language of generalized quantum calculus. This book also offers detailed proofs, exercises, and examples to aid instructors, researchers, and users in their studies.
