Crystal, also known as crystalline solid, is a material whose constituents are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure. It forms a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. The branch of science, which studies crystals, its formation, and the bonding and arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids is known as crystallography. Crystal structure is the ordered arrangement of atoms, molecules and ions in a crystal. It is used in materials science to characterize different materials and phase identification. X-ray crystallography is a method that determines the molecular conformations of large biomolecules, particularly nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA, and protein. Neutron crystallography is used in refining structures obtained by X-ray methods. Electron crystallography uses transmission electron microscope to determine the arrangement of atoms in solids. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of crystallography. Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques and the applications of crystallography. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

Introduction to Crystallography

The compounds in which carbon forms a covalent bond with other atoms is called an organic compound. Organic chemistry is a sub-field of chemistry that focuses on the study of the properties, structure and reactions of organic compounds. The study of the properties of these compounds involves both physical and chemical properties. The study of the structure of organic compounds helps in determining their chemical composition and formula. There are various types of organic reactions which are studied within this field such as the chemical synthesis of natural products, polymers and drugs. Some of the chemicals which are dealt with in this field are hydrocarbons along with carbon bonded with other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and halogens. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of organic chemistry. It provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of this field as well as related fields. This textbook will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.

Organic Chemistry: The Basics

The branch of chemistry which is concerned with the chemical effects of lights is known as photochemistry. It generally deals with chemical reactions that are caused by the absorption of ultraviolet, visible light and infrared radiation. The most common photochemical reactions include bioluminescence, photoresist, photosynthesis, vision, toray, photodegradation and photodynamic therapy. Some of the major concepts and laws within this field are Grotthuss-Draper law, Stark-Einstein law, Kasha's rule and Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity. There are various areas of study within this field such as organic photochemistry, inorganic photochemistry and organometallic photochemistry. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of photochemistry which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make it an invaluable source of knowledge.

Photochemistry: A Conceptual Approach

The intelligence displayed by machines is known as artificial intelligence. Autonomously operating cars, intelligent routing in content delivery networks, natural-language understanding, etc. are some of the modern machine capabilities which are generally classified as AI. There are three types of artificial intelligence systems- humanized, human-inspired, and analytical artificial intelligence. The long-term goal of artificial intelligence is to develop general intelligence. A few of the other goals are planning, learning, reasoning and perception. Artificial intelligence finds its applications in many fields such as software engineering, operations research and computer science along with healthcare, economics and video games. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of artificial intelligence which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.

The branch of neuroscience that uses theoretical analysis, mathematical models and abstractions of the brain for understanding the nervous system is known as computational neuroscience. It is involved in studying the development, structure, physiology and cognitive abilities of the nervous system. The models within this field seek to capture the essential features of the biological system at multi-spatial temporal scales. These models are used to develop hypotheses which can be tested through biological or psychological experiments. The major topics that are studied under computational neuroscience are single-neuron modeling, sensory processing, motor control, computational clinical neuroscience, cognition, discrimination and learning, memory, and synaptic plasticity. This book outlines the processes and applications of computational neuroscience in detail. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. This book will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
