Special Issue on Durability and Damage Tolerance of Heterogeneous Materials

Special issue on alcohol and brain damage.

When the brain is damaged by alcohol, whether in early development or in later life, the distress caused is often prolonged because the damage may be permanent or very slow to recover, but the condition is not fatal as with some other complications of excessive consumption of alcohol. The finding in an Irish acute general hospital, that 25% of ‘delayed discharge’ was accounted for by patients w...

Special Issue on Applications for the Heterogeneous Computing Era

As we look beyond the petascale era, accelerators such as graphics processing units (GPUs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and Intel many integrated cores (MIC), as well as upcoming integrated hybrid processing cores are expected to play a preeminent role in architecting the largest systems in the world. While there is significant interest in these architectures, much of this interest ...

Special Issue on New Challenges in Energy Materials Research on materials and renewable energy

In this paper, an overview on the subject of materials and renewable energy, mainly from the research point of view, is carried out. Energy and materials are nowadays driving science and technology. There is a search for cleaner, cheaper and more efficient energy production, and this is obviously related to the development of new and innovative materials. As energy is a top European priority, m...
