Superhalogens and Superalkalis is a comprehensive volume designed as the go-to resource on the exciting and evolving topics of these special classes of atomic clusters and the acid salt that results from their interactions. The book details how these substances possess not only unusual structures but also unique properties which can be exploited for various applications. Superhalogens’ strong oxidizing capacity, resulting from their high-electron affinity, leads to their applications in the design of superacids, organic superconductors, and ionic liquids. The low ionization energy of superalkalis enables them to act as strong reducing agents, making them useful in the design of superbases ...

This contributed volume presents a multi-perspective collection of the latest research findings on oil and gas exploration and imparts insight that can greatly assist in understanding field behavior, design of test programs, and design of field operations. With this book, engineers also gain a powerful guide to the most commonly used numerical simulation methods that aid in reservoir modelling. In addition, the contributors explore development of technologies that allow for cost effective oil and gas exploration while minimizing the impact on our water resources, surface and groundwater aquifers, geological stability of impacted areas, air quality, and infrastructure assets such as roads, pipelines, water, and wastewater networks. Easy to understand, the book identifies equipment and procedural problems inherent to oil and gas operations and provides systematic approaches for solving them.
The book covers a diverse range of topics based on computational studies, including modeling and simulations based on quantum chemical studies and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It contains quantum chemical studies on several molecules, including biologically relevant molecules and liquid crystals and various aspects of superatomic clusters including superalkalis and superhalogens. It gives an overview of MD simulations and their applications on biomolecular systems such as HIV-1 protease and integrase. Features: Includes first principle methods, density functional theory, as well as molecular dynamics simulations. Explores quantum chemical studies on several molecules. Gives readers an overview of the power of computation. Discusses superatomic clusters, superalkalis, and superhalogens. Covers themes from molecules, clusters, materials, as well as biophysical systems. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in materials science and computational and theoretical chemistry.

Life is full of transitions - some chosen, some unexpected, some forced upon us: a global pandemic, relationships starting and ending, the arrival of a new family member, children leaving home, stepping into a new job, redundancy, the loss of a loved one. However significant or mundane, such events all have one thing in common. They represent a moment for us to press pause, reflect on our reality, and make changes that will help us unlock our full potential and live a life of fulfilment and purpose. I have had the privilege of coaching clients across the globe - including senior business leaders and high performers - through times of change. Whether their 'press pause' moment has been work-r...
