LCs are self-organized anisotropic fluids that are thermodynamically located between the isotropic liquid and the crystalline phase, exhibiting the fluidity of liquids as well as the long-range lattice order that can only be found in crystalline solids. The addition of nanomaterials to a LC material produces a composite or colloidal dispersion and results into a revolutionary change in their applications. This book will discuss the remarkable performances of nano-particle aided liquid crystals in metamaterials, photonics, functionalized polymer fibres, sensing, and medical diagnostics.

An accessible overview of the varied microorganisms of the gut

The human gut contains an extraordinary array of microorganisms existing in intricate symbiosis with the body. The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in maintaining overall gut health and warding off disease. With up to 15% of the global population suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) caused by improper composition of gut microbiota, understanding these organisms and their vital contribution to human health has never been more important.

The Gut Microbiota in Health and Disease provides a concise, accessible introduction to gut microbiota and their contribution to human health. It offers not only an overview of the relevant microorganisms and their roles in the body, but also extended discussion of diseases caused by gut dysbiosis. It presents a crucial window into this growing body of research into a critical area of overall human health.

The book introducesthe oscillatory reaction and pattern formation in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction that became model for investigating awide range of intriguing pattern formations in chemical systems. So manymodifications in classic version of BZ reaction have been carried out invarious experimental conditions that demonstrate rich varieties of temporaloscillations and spatio-temporal patterns in non- equilibrium conditions.Mixed-mode versions of BZ reactions, which comprise a pair of organicsubstrates or dual metal catalysts, have displayed very complex oscillatingbehaviours and novel space-time patterns during reaction processes. Thesecharacteristic spatio-temporal properties ofBZ reactions have attracted increasing attention of the scientific community inrecent years because of its comparable periodic structures in electrochemicalsystems, polymerization processes, andnon-equilibrium crystallization phenomena. Instead, non-equilibriumcrystallization phenomena which lead to development of novel crystalmorphologies in constraint of thermodynamic equilibrium conditions have beeninvestigated and are said to be stationary periodic structures. Efforts havecontinued to analyze insight mechanisms and roles of reaction-diffusionmechanism and self-organization in the growth of such periodic crystalpatterns. In this book, non-equilibrium crystallization phenomena, leading togrowth of some novel crystal patterns in dual organic substrate modes ofoscillatory BZ reactions have been discussed. Efforts have been made to findout experimental parameters where transitions of the spherulitic crystalpatterns take place. The book provides the scientific community and entrepreneurs witha thorough understanding and knowledge of the growth and form of branchedcrystal pattern in reaction-diffusion systemand their morphological transition.
