Introduction to the Special Issue: Advances in island plant biology since Sherwin Carlquist's Island Biology

Sherwin Carlquist's seminal publications-in particular his classic Island Biology, published in 1974-formulated hypotheses specific to island biology that remain valuable today. This special issue brings together some of the most interesting contributions presented at the First Island Biology Symposium hosted in Honolulu on 7-11 July 2014. We compiled a total of 18 contributions that present da...

Dr. David Hogan and Dr. Montero-Odasso(1) call on the Canadian Geriatrics Society to develop a Falls and Fractures Special Interest Group, which is an attempt to syste...

Preface to Special Issue on General Secure Multi-Party Computation

More than a decade has passed since general results concerning secure two-party and multi-party computations were rst announced in 15, 24, 16] (see details in 14]). In a nutshell, assuming the existence of trapdoor permutations, these results assert that one can construct protocols for securely computing any desirable multi-party functionality. These results either require a majority of honest ...

Special Issue on Second Generation General System Theory

The aim of this editorial is to briefly introduce some papers of different nature presented by the contributors to the special issue on “Second Generation General System Theory”. These contributions have been focused on the need for building a post-Bertalanffy Systemics, based on new problems, representations, and approaches to complexity. Furthermore, such new Systemics is expected to be able ...
