Rapid developments in experimental techniques continue to push back
the limits in the resolution, size, and complexity of the chemical
and biological systems that can be investigated. This challenges
the theoretical community to develop innovative methods for better
interpreting experimental results. Normal Mode Analysis (NMA) is
one such technique. Capable of providing unique insights into the
structural and dynamical properties of complex systems, it is now
finding a wide range of applications in chemical and biological
problems. From the fundamental physical ideas to cutting-edge
applications and beyond, this book presents a broad overview of
normal mode analysis and its value in state-of-the-art research.
The first section introduces NMA, examines NMA algorithm
development at different resolutions, and explores the application
of those techniques in the study of biological systems. Later
chapters cover method developments based on or inspired by NMA but
going beyond the harmonic approximation inherent in standard NMA
techniques. Normal mode analysis complements traditional approaches
with computational efficiency and applicability to large systems
that are beyond the reach of older methods. This book offers a
unique opportunity to learn from the experiences of an
international, interdisciplinary panel of top researchers and
explore the latest developments and applications of NMA to
biophysical and chemical problems.
This book enables readers to design effective ESD protection
solutions for all mainstream RF fabrication processes (GaAs pHEMT,
SiGe HBT, CMOS). The new techniques introduced by the authors have
much higher protection levels and much lower parasitic effects than
those of existing ESD protection devices. The authors
describe in detail the ESD phenomenon, as well as ESD protection
fundamentals, standards, test equipment, and basic design
strategies. Readers will benefit from realistic case studies
of ESD protection for RFICs and will learn to increase
significantly modern RFICs’ ESD safety level, while maximizing RF
performance.

As computational hardware continues to develop at a rapid pace,
quantitative computations are playing an increasingly essential
role in the study of biomolecular systems. One of the most
important challenges that the field faces is to develop the next
generation of computational models that strike the proper balance
of computational efficiency and accuracy, so that the problems of
increasing complexity can be tackled in a systematic and physically
robust manner. In particular, properly treating intermolecular
interactions is fundamentally important for the reliability of all
computational models. In this book, contributions by leading
experts in the area of biomolecular simulations discuss
cutting-edge ideas regarding effective strategies to describe
many-body effects and electrostatics at quantum, classical, and
coarse-grained levels. The goal of the book is to not only provide
an up-to-date snapshot of the current simulation field but also
stimulate exchange of ideas across different sub-fields of modern
computational (bio)chemistry. The text will be a useful reference
for the biomolecular simulation community and help attract talented
young students into this exciting frontier of research.
