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. These microbiota,
numbering in the trillions, play a crucial role in maintaining
overall gut health and warding off disease. With as much as 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 microbiota and their roles in the body, but also
extended discussion of diseases caused by gut dysbiosis. It offers
a crucial window into this growing body of research into a critical
area of overall human health. The Gut Microbiota in Health and
Disease readers will also find: Detailed analysis of dysbiotic
health conditions including obesity, diabetes, and more Thorough
treatment of molecular techniques for analyzing gut microbial
composition Discussion of lowering diversity of the gut microbiome
and the corresponding impact on global health The Gut Microbiota in
Health and Disease is essential for researchers and clinicians
working in immunology, gastroenterology, clinical microbiology, and
related fields, as well as for clinical dieticians and postgraduate
or medical students studying in these areas.

The book introduces the oscillatory reaction and pattern formation
in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction that became model for
investigating a wide range of intriguing pattern formations in
chemical systems. So many modifications in classic version of BZ
reaction have been carried out in various experimental conditions
that demonstrate rich varieties of temporal oscillations and
spatio-temporal patterns in non- equilibrium conditions. Mixed-mode
versions of BZ reactions, which comprise a pair of organic
substrates or dual metal catalysts, have displayed very complex
oscillating behaviours and novel space-time patterns during
reaction processes. These characteristic spatio-temporal properties
of BZ reactions have attracted increasing attention of the
scientific community in recent years because of its comparable
periodic structures in electrochemical systems, polymerization
processes, and non-equilibrium crystallization phenomena. Instead,
non-equilibrium crystallization phenomena which lead to development
of novel crystal morphologies in constraint of thermodynamic
equilibrium conditions have been investigated and are said to be
stationary periodic structures. Efforts have continued to analyze
insight mechanisms and roles of reaction-diffusion mechanism and
self-organization in the growth of such periodic crystal patterns.
In this book, non-equilibrium crystallization phenomena, leading to
growth of some novel crystal patterns in dual organic substrate
modes of oscillatory BZ reactions have been discussed. Efforts have
been made to find out experimental parameters where transitions of
the spherulitic crystal patterns take place. The book provides the
scientific community and entrepreneurs with a thorough
understanding and knowledge of the growth and form of branched
crystal pattern in reaction-diffusion system and their
morphological transition.
