Membrane Engineering: Future Perspectives

Artificial Intelligence in Software Engineering Current Developments and Future Prospects

The software engineering crisis was diagnosed about a half a century ago. Since then a plethora of methods, methodologies, notations, programming languages and environments have been developed and significant progress has been made. However, the nature and complexity of the software being developed has also changed and this has nearly annulled this progress. High rates of software failure conti...

Developments in Requirements Engineering

THIS ISSUE’S COLUMN reports on a presentation and papers from the 23rd International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality (REFSQ 17). REFSQ aims to foster the creation of a strong European requirementsengineering community across industry and academia. Feedback and suggestions are welcome. In addition, if you try or adopt any of the practices included ...

Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering

A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

Future Developments in Poultry Nutrition

Developments in poultry nutrition have generally been driven by the need to sustain genetic potential within the confines of ever evolving systems of poultry production. Over the last 50 years we have developed quite sophisticated systems for quantitating the available nutrients in both ingredients and diets and this has allowed us to provide birds with quite precise levels of nutrients require...
