Visible Light-Driven Organic Synthesis covers the recent cutting-edge investigations in the field of visible light– driven organic synthesis in a single comprehensive volume. It provides information on rigorously selected reaction schemes and covers new reactions and new methods under visible light photocatalysis. It enlists more than 100 important synthetic strategies/methodolo... with particular emphasis on useful reactions for organic synthesis under the mild reaction conditions reported in recent times involving carbon–carbon (C–C) and carbon–heteroatom bond–forming reactions, resulting in a wide spectrum of chemical compounds, providing an outstanding source of information concerning industrial applications.The chapters are classified based on various photocatalysts that have found direct applications in organic synthesis by carrying out different kinds of organic reactions. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular photocatalyst, and each selected reaction is dealt with in a compact manner through point-wise discussion under distinct subheadings covering the reaction type, reaction conditions, bond-forming information, reaction strategy involved, general reaction scheme, examples of representative entries with chemical structures and physical properties, a suggested plausible mechanism, critical views, and literature. In addition, visible light–mediated self-sensitized organic transformations that took place without any external photocatalysts have also been covered.This book is immensely helpful to chemistry students, teachers, researchers, academicians, and chemical/ agrochemical industry people to access the latest information and advances on visible light–driven organic synthesis developments.

Graph Based Multimedia Analysis applies concepts from graph theory to the problems of analyzing overabundant video data. Video data can be quite diverse: exocentric (captured by a standard camera) or egocentric (captured by a wearable device like Google Glass); of various durations (ranging from a few seconds to several hours); and could be from a single source or multiple sources. Efficient extraction of important information from such a large class of diverse video data can be overwhelming. The book, with its rich repertoire of theoretically elegant solutions, from graph theory in conjunction with deep learning, constrained optimization, and game theory, empowers the audience to achieve tasks like obtaining concise yet useful summaries and precisely recognizing single as well as multiple actions in a computationally efficient manner. The book provides a unique treatise on topics like egocentric video analysis and scalable video processing.

Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy, Volume 112 presents the latest release in a series that has established itself as a premier resource for both specialists and non-specialists interested in new techniques and applications pertaining to NMR spectroscopy. Chapters in this new release include Artificial Neural Networks in Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry, Tumor extracellular pH mapping using electron paramagnetic resonance: Techniques and applications, and Recent Affordable Permanent Magnet Configurations and related technologies for Portable Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for medical care.Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice. Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles including obituaries are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Serial Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiaw.price@wes...
