New Frontiers in Nanochemistry: Concepts, Theories, and Trends, 3-Volume Set


Book Description

New Frontiers in Nanochemistry: Concepts, Theories, and Trends, 3-Volume Set explains and explores the important fundamental and advanced modern concepts from various areas of nanochemistry and, more broadly, the nanosciences. This innovative and one-of-a kind set consists of three volumes that focus on structural nanochemistry, topological nanochemistry, and sustainable nanochemistry respectively, collectively forming an explicative handbook in nanochemistry. The compilation provides a rich resource that is both thorough and accessible, encompassing the core concepts of multiple areas of nanochemistry. It also explores the content through a trans-disciplinary lens, integrating the basic and advanced modern concepts in nanochemistry with various examples, applications, issues, tools, algorithms, and even historical notes on the important people from physical, quantum, theoretical, mathematical, and even biological chemistry.




Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Networks


Book Description

This conference proceeding is a collection of the papers accepted by the CENet2021 – the 11th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Networks held on October 21-25, 2021 in Hechi, China. The topics focus but are not limited to Internet of Things and Smart Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Applications, Communication System Detection, Analysis and Application, and Medical Engineering and Information Systems. Each part can be used as an excellent reference by industry practitioners, university faculties, research fellows and undergraduates as well as graduate students who need to build a knowledge base of the most current advances and state-of-practice in the topics covered by this conference proceedings. This will enable them to produce, maintain, and manage systems with high levels of trustworthiness and complexity.




Quantum Robotics


Book Description

Quantum robotics is an emerging engineering and scientific research discipline that explores the application of quantum mechanics, quantum computing, quantum algorithms, and related fields to robotics. This work broadly surveys advances in our scientific understanding and engineering of quantum mechanisms and how these developments are expected to impact the technical capability for robots to sense, plan, learn, and act in a dynamic environment. It also discusses the new technological potential that quantum approaches may unlock for sensing and control, especially for exploring and manipulating quantum-scale environments. Finally, the work surveys the state of the art in current implementations, along with their benefits and limitations, and provides a roadmap for the future.




Trick or Truth?


Book Description

The prize-winning essays in this book address the fascinating but sometimes uncomfortable relationship between physics and mathematics. Is mathematics merely another natural science? Or is it the result of human creativity? Does physics simply wear mathematics like a costume, or is math the lifeblood of physical reality? The nineteen wide-ranging, highly imaginative and often entertaining essays are enhanced versions of the prize-winning entries to the FQXi essay competition “Trick or Truth”, which attracted over 200 submissions. The Foundational Questions Institute, FQXi, catalyzes, supports, and disseminates research on questions at the foundations of physics and cosmology, particularly new frontiers and innovative ideas integral to a deep understanding of reality, but unlikely to be supported by conventional funding sources.




New Frontiers in Nanochemistry: Concepts, Theories, and Trends


Book Description

The final volume of this new innovative and informative three-volume set explains and explores the essential basic and advanced concepts from various areas within the nanosciences. This volume primarily focuses on increasing awareness of sustainable nanochemistry, meaning the social and economic impact of nanochemistry, in order to mitigate ecological resource depletion and to promote the exploration of nature as a resource for future benefits. This volume adopts a pharmacological lens, examining the multitude of ways in which nano-research can contribute to the development of pharmaceutical drugs and paying particular attention to toxicology and renewable energy within nanochemistry. Under the vast expertise of the editor, the volume contains 34 entries contributed by renowned international scientists and scholars. The content in this volume covers topics such as anti-HIV agents, ecotoxicology, solar cells and photovoltaic phenomena, spectral-SAR, and more—alphabetically organized and accompanied by equations, figures, and brief letters in order to emphasize the potential applications of the concepts discussed.
