{"product_id":"9789814397537","title":"Engineering Of Chemical Complexity","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis review volume, co-edited by Nobel laureate G Ertl, provides a broad overview on current studies in the understanding of design and control of complex chemical systems of various origins, on scales ranging from single molecules and nano-phenomena to macroscopic chemical reactors. Self-organizational behavior and the emergence of coherent collective dynamics in reaction–diffusion systems, reactive soft matter and chemical networks are covered. Special attention is paid to the applications in molecular cell biology and to the problems of biological evolution, synthetic biology and design of artificial living cells.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStarting with a detailed introduction on the history of research on complex chemical systems, its current state of the art and perspectives, the book comprises 19 chapters that survey the current progress in particular research fields. The reviews, prepared by leading international experts, yield together a fascinating picture of a rapidly developing research discipline that brings chemical engineering to new frontiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAnalysis, Design and Control of Complex Chemical Systems \u003ci\u003e(Alexander S Mikhailov and Gerhard Ertl)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSingle Molecules, Nanoscale Phenomena and Active Particles:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImaging and Manipulation of Single Molecules by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy \u003ci\u003e(Leonhard Grill)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-Organization at the Nanoscale in Far-From-Equilibrium Surface Reactions and Copolymerizations \u003ci\u003e(Pierre Gaspard)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Molecule and Collective Dynamics of Motor Protein Coupled with Mechano-Sensitive Chemical Reaction \u003ci\u003e(Mitsuhiro Iwaki, Lorenzo Marcucci, Yuichi Togashi and Toshio Yanagida)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNanomotors Propelled by Chemical Reactions \u003ci\u003e(Raymond Kapral)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiology of Nanobots \u003ci\u003e(Wentao Duan, Ryan Pavlick and Ayusman Sen)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eReaction–Diffusion Systems and Nonequilibrium Soft Matter:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWave Phenomena in Reaction–Diffusion Systems \u003ci\u003e(Oliver Steinbock and Harald Engel)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-Oscillating Polymer Gels as Smart Materials \u003ci\u003e(Ryo Yoshida)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStochastic Fluctuations and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in the Chemotaxis Signaling System of \u003ci\u003eDicyostelium\u003c\/i\u003e Cells \u003ci\u003e(Tatsuo Shibata)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanochemical Pattern Formation in the Polarization of the One-Cell \u003ci\u003eC Elegans\u003c\/i\u003e Embryo \u003ci\u003e(Justin S Bois and Stephan W Grill)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOscillations and Synchronization:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronization of Electrochemical Oscillators \u003ci\u003e(Mahesh Wickramasinghe and István Z Kiss)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurbulence and Synchrony in Spatially Extended Electrochemical Oscillators \u003ci\u003e(Vladimir Garcia-Morales and Katharina Krischer)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuorum Sensing and Synchronization in Populations of Coupled Chemical Oscillators \u003ci\u003e(Annette F Taylor, Mark R Tinsley and Kenneth Showalter)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollective Decision-Making and Oscillatory Behaviors in Cell Populations \u003ci\u003e(Koichi Fujimoto and Satoshi Sawai)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronization via Hydrodynamic Interactions \u003ci\u003e(Franziska Kendelbacher and Holger Stark)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvolution, Synthetic Biology, and Protocells:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmergence and Selection of Biomodules: Steps in the Assembly of a Protocell \u003ci\u003e(Susanna C Manrubia and Carlos Briones)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Catalytic Reaction Networks to Protocells \u003ci\u003e(Kunihiko Kaneko)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstructive Approach Towards Protocells \u003ci\u003e(Tadashi Sugawara, Kensuke Kurihara and Kentaro Suzuki)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork Reverse Engineering Approach in Synthetic Biology \u003ci\u003e(Haoqian Zhang, Ao Liu, Yuheng Lu, Ying Sheng, Qianzhu Wu, Zhenzhen Yin, Yiwei Chen, Zairan Liu, Heng Pan and Qi Ouyang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Graduate students and scientists interested in complex chemical systems.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185283547376,"sku":"9789814397537","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814397537_p0.jpg?v=1763692015","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814397537","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
