"The authors analyse solutions offered by science and technology with a clarity that will likely surpass the expectations of non-expert readers. Following a pedagogical approach with vivid illustrations, the book offers an in-depth description of how each green-energy option could be integrated into a global-energy strategy ... They stress that any solution should not compromise quality of life or development opportunities in developing countries. This book could not be more timely. It is an invaluable resource for scientists, policymakers and educators."
"Overall, this collection of case studies provides an outstanding starting point for understanding the ethics of chemistry. It is an extremely important contribution to the study of chemical ethics … Ethics of Chemistry is a key resource for educators interested in integrating ethics instruction into their chemistry curricula … an important foundation for equipping students with the moral judgement and analytical skills necessary to contend with the ethical issues they are likely to face in their professional lives."
"This brief book offers an interesting, fun, and widely accessible first-person tour of CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. The facilities at CERN include the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27-kilometer particle accelerator that straddles the border between Switzerland and France. The LHC was famously used to discover the Higgs boson, a long-sought fundamental particle. Physics historian Depambour (University of Paris) is enthusiastic about all aspects of CERN, especially its role as an agent for peace and international cooperation..."
Special Issue on Spiking Neural Networks
Guest Editors: Marian Gheorghe, Alberto Leporati, Ferrante Neri, David Orellana Martín, Mario J. Pérez-Jiménez and Gexiang Zhang This special issue includes studies about spiking neural P systems, including both theoretical aspects, like the universality of a new variant of these spiking neural networks, and approaches from other models of computation like virus machines, to applications in experimental areas such as image classification of the Oxford Flowers dataset, edge detection of different datasets of images, robot control tasks while using gradient optimization through the model, and a novel adversarial approach to recognize X-ray images of COVID-19 affected persons. Each paper included in this issue went through at least two cycles of the journal’s rigorous review process, receiving between 5 and 7 reviews. |
