Sustainability, social justice and legitimate governance are some of the sternest challenges facing the architects, designers and engineers of the ongoing "Digital Transformation" to the "Digital Society".

This revolutionary two-volume work uncovers a wide range of amazing paradigms, algorithms, architectures and implementations of computation far outside the comfort zone of mainstream, conventional, computing sciences.

The dynamic world of the very small is the focus of a new textbook, “Stochastic Thermodynamics: An Introduction”, co-authored by Luca Peliti, professor emeritus of statistical mechanics at the University of Naples Federico II in Italy, and Simone Pigolotti, associate professor and head of the Biological Complexity Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST).

A new book Power, for All: How It Really Works and Why It’s Everyone’s Business offers a timely, democratized vision of power. Everyone can understand how power operates, and research shows that once you understand, you can take action to improve life for yourself and others.

Most "how to learn" books focus only on study techniques. However, knowing these study techniques doesn't guarantee they will be successfully implemented. Based on Professor Kamei's popular undergraduate course at the National University of Singapore, the author shares his unique perspective as an educator and physician to provide a strategic approach to learning that will benefit students of all ages looking to optimize their learning.

Though a lack of iron is a factor limiting algal growth in the oceans, more dissolved iron in the ocean East of Greenland due to the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet does not lead to more algae there. Off the coast of Antarctica, on the other hand, algae do profit from more dissolved iron in the water as a consequence of melting ice. The cause of this difference is the fact that near Antarctica, organic molecules help keep the iron in solution, while near Greenland, they don’t, NIOZ researcher Indah Ardiningsih discovered.

South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has announced that a recent publication by its faculty members sets out the key research directions and new alternatives towards becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

This unique compendium covers applications of state-of-the-art AI techniques to the key areas of software engineering. This reference text will benefit researchers, academics, professionals, and postgraduate students in AI, machine learning and software engineering.
