He argues that the postcolonial challenge exposes the limitation of Western social thought to explain many pressing social and economic issues, domestic and global. The End of Conceit concludes that, ultimately, what the West needs is not more and better theory but an entirely new way of thinking - one that will put an end to its current deep-seated conceit. 606 $aCivilization, Western$y21st century 606 $aSociology 607 $aWestern countries$xForeign relations 615 0$aCivilization, Western 615 0$aSociology. 676 $a327.091821 700 $aChabal$b Patrick$0243091 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808270503321 996 $aEnd of conceit$94014608 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04908nam 22007695 450 001 9910855368403321 005 20250807132438.0 010 $a9783031514340 010 $a3031514343 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-51434-0 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31318082 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31318082 035 $a(CKB)31869352900041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-51434-0 035 $a(OCoLC)1432602767 035 $a(EXLCZ)9931869352900041 100 $a20240502d2024 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aElectron Localization-Delocalization Matrices /$fby Chérif F.

Although either of the fields have developed their own techniques, problems, methods, and favorite benchmark cases independent from each other, the authors have managed to bring them together by using the localization-delocalization matrix (LDM). The LDM is a novel molecular descriptor that fingerprints a molecule by condensing the complicated electronic information in one, mathematically manageable, object. In this book, the authors introduce the readers to modeling techniques based on LDMs. Their technique offers a high accuracy as well as robust predictive power, often dramatically surpassing the potential of either of the constituting methods on their own. In addition to the comprehensive and accessible introduction to this new field of theoretical chemistry, the authors offer their self-developed software free to download, so that readers can try running their own simulations. The described methods are very general and can easily be implemented for calculating various properties and parameters such as mosquito repelling activity, ionic liquid properties, local aromaticity of ring molecules, log P's, pKa's, LD50, corrosion inhibition activities, and Lewis acidities and basicities ? to only name a few. The free downloadable software helps readers automate the analysis of the matrices described in this book and hence facilitates application of the described methodology. . 410 0$aLecture Notes in Chemistry,$x2192-6603 ;$v112 606 $aChemistry, Physical and theoretical 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aChemistry$xData processing 606 $aChemometrics 606 $aMathematics 606 $aStatistics 606 $aTheoretical Chemistry 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 606 $aComputational Chemistry 606 $aMathematical Applications in Chemistry 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 606 $aStatistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences 615 0$aChemistry, Physical and theoretical. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aChemistry$xData processing. 615 0$aChemometrics. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 14$aTheoretical Chemistry. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aComputational Chemistry. 615 24$aMathematical Applications in Chemistry. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 615 24$aStatistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences. 676 $a541.22 700 $aMatta$b Che?rif F$0597254 701 $aAyers$b Paul W$01737775 701 $aCook$b Ronald$01700563 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910855368403321 996 $aElectron Localization-Delocalization Matrices$94159700 997 $aUNINA
