  • Nucleation

    Basic Theory with Applications
    • 2nd Edition
    • Dimo Kashchiev
    • English
    Nucleation: Basic Theory with Applications, Second Edition updates the classic, highly cited introductory work by Dimo Kashchiev. It is a detailed and systematic account of the basic principles, developments, and applications of the theory of nucleation.The first two parts of the book describe in detail the two basic approaches in nucleation theory: thermodynamic and kinetic. They contain derivations of the basic and most important formulae of the theory and discuss their limitations and possibilities for improvement. The third part deals with some of the factors that can affect nucleation and is a natural continuation of the first two chapters. The last part is devoted to the application of the theory to processes of practical importance, such as melt crystallization and polymorphic transformation, crystal growth and growth of thin solid films, size distribution of droplets and crystallites in condensation and crystallization. Included is a new chapter on the formation of gas hydrates. Several appendices have also been added providing important contemporary results in nucleation theory.Nucleation: Basic Theory with Applications, Second Edition remains the go-to book for a foundational understanding of this distinct and important subdiscipline. It is written primarily for graduate and Ph.D. level students and tutors, as well as researchers or engineers across chemistry, physics, and materials science, with additional relevance to biochemists, biomedical engineers and energy and environmental scientists.
  • Cheminformatics with Python

    • 1st Edition
    • Zhimin Zhang + 2 more
    • English
    Cheminformatics with Python provides a ground-up, practical introduction that helps reader make effective use of the software. In four parts, including programming, data, methods, and applications, the book provides a brief introduction to Python language and related scientific computing, cheminformatics, machine learning, and deep learning packages and presents a systematic study of the representation of instrumental data, including molecular structures and common chemical databases. The methods section covers analytical signal processing, multivariate calibration, multivariate resolution, classical machine learning, and deep learning methods. Finally, the application section presents case studies of successful applications of cheminformatics in analytical chemistry, metabolomics, drug discovery, and more.A supporting appendix section and the necessary mathematical, statistical, and information theory-related theories are provided, along with practical tips such as code editors and source code management.

  • Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 118
    • English
    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 are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiae-mail address: w.price@westernsydne...
