Theoretical Foundations of Multiscale Modelling aims to address thermodynamical and statistical mechanical foundations of methods commonly employed, highlighting the potential and limitations of each approach. Starting with an overview of the basics of statistical mechanics, the book's chapters illustrate the general theory of molecular modelling, the concepts and methods for the study of complex molecular systems, key strategies employed to perform computational calculations and simulations, recent, cutting-edge tools of the trade, and a selection of case studies that highlight multi-scale modeling, multiple-resolution simulation methods, and machine-learning applications.Drawing on the experience of its expert authors, this book is an insightful guide for all those learning, applying or interested in exploring multiscale modelling methods for their own work. Multiscale modelling approaches can provide valuable insights to researchers across a broad range of fields, but the interdisciplinary applicability of these approaches means both new learners and experienced researchers may not have a clear understanding of the theoretical and computational fundamentals underpinning these methods.

Antimicrobial Peptides: A Roadmap for Accelerating Discovery and Development covers the most important efforts of scientists and engineers worldwide to accelerate the process of discovery, production, and eventual market penetration of more potent antimicrobial peptides. These efforts have been fueled by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and data science, molecular and CFD simulations, easy-to-use process simulation packages, microfluidics, 3D-printing, among many others. Such technologies can now be implemented and scaled up quickly and at relatively low cost in low-budget production facilities, critical to moving to sustainable and marketable products worldwide.Discovering novel antimicrobial peptides rationally and cost-effectively has emerged as one of the significant challenges of modern biotechnology. Thus far, this process has been tedious and costly, resulting in molecules with activities far below those needed to address the current challenge of microbial resistance to antibiotics that takes the lives of thousands of people around the world every year. Finally, the book also highlights how multidisciplinary teams have assembled to address the challenges of manufacturing, biological testing, and clinical trials to finally reach complete translation.

Deep Eutectic Solvents highlights well-established research and technology on applications of DESs in corrosion sciences, protein chemistry, and organic synthesis, as well as separation science. This book provides state-of-the-art research that will revolutionize modern practices. Neoteric solvents have been proposed as a better substitute to these harmful organic solvents, and scientists have come up with various neoteric solvents in the last few years like Deep Eutectic solvents (DESs). DESs are defined as a system formed from a eutectic mixture of Lewis or Brønsted acids and bases with various ionic species- whereas ionic liquids (ILs) consist of a discrete anion and a cation.DESs stand out as a greener and cheaper neoteric solvent as compared to ILs. DESs are denser than water and fairly polar, thus can be utilized as non-aqueous substitute to water in many separation processes. DESs have very high distribution coefficient of solutes, and even dissolves gases and metal oxides selectively. They also readily dissolve organic macromolecules, thereby becoming useful in pharmacological applications.

Practical Sonochemistry: Applications of Power Ultrasound in Chemistry and Processing, Third Edition conveys the increasing growth in applications and equipment to power ultrasound. The book is written primarily for graduate students, postdoc researchers, and academics in applied chemistry and chemical engineering, as well as technicians and operators in relevant industry. Sonochemistry can do lots of amazing things in many different fields – but how and where do you start with applying it? This thoroughly updated edition offers a ground-up introduction to the fundamentals, applying power ultrasound to both lab and large-scale applications.The book answer questions such as does my laboratory have the equipment- what do I need? I have the equipment, but I have no idea how it works or how to use it- where do I start? I want to apply sonochemistry to a new reaction or processing method – what is the best approach? What types of sonochemistry equipment is available on the market and which is the best to choose? Can I scale up my reaction and if so, how do I do it, given that ultrasound is non-linear?

Neutrons, X-rays, and Light: Scattering Methods Applied to Soft Condensed Matter, Second Edition addresses the possibilities provided by scattering techniques in the study of soft matter. It fills the gap between fundamental scattering processes, which are described by the general theoretical framework of elastic and quasi-elastic interaction of radiation with matter and state-of-the-art applications to specific soft matter systems. The first part of the book is dedicated to the use of general principles for the measurement and analysis of scattered intensity: elementary scattering process, data reduction, general theorems, and reciprocal space and its link to structural and dynamical information in direct space.In the second part, methods and techniques are further discussed, including resolution effects, contrast variation, static and dynamic light scattering, quasi-elastic neutron scattering, and reflectometry and grazing incidence techniques. Part three deals with the state of the art of scattering studies of typical soft matter systems (polymers, self-assembled surfactant systems, microemulsions, liquid crystals, colloids, aggregates, biological systems) with dedicated chapters for particle interactions, and modelling. Part four highlights special applications, from turbid media to scattering under external constraints, and industrial applications.
