Current Geopolitical Implications and Challenges of Historic Global Energy Transitions

Sep 9, 2022

Abstract. Energy in the form of controlled fire changed dramatically the course of human evolution on planet Earth. Fire allowed early humans to stay warm, cook nutritious food and meat, kill bacteria and pathogenic microbes, ward off predators and gave the...

Database Provides Millions of 3D Protein Structures by Artificial Intelligence. Deep-Learning Methods Can Design Proteins with Prespecified Functional Sites

Sep 9, 2022

Abstract Proteins are on the top of the list of the most important biomolecules that contribute to virtually every biochemical activity in the human body and other biological species. Knowledge of the 3D structure of proteins was fundamental for their function and...

Tertiary Education: High Demand for Expanded Access by World’s Youth Population. Challenges to globalization and and massification of higher education worldwide

Jul 5, 2022

Abstract In the last decade of the 21st century, young people under the age of 25, represent a significant portion of more than 40% of the world population and more than 25% of the total working age population. The current generation of young adults is very different...

Recent Developments in Plastic Waste Recycling. Plastic recycling still remains a challenging area in the waste management sector

May 20, 2022

Abstract. Plastics are exceptionally useful materials for all kinds of consumer items, but poorly managed plastic waste breaks down in smaller pieces contributing to land and ocean pollution with microplastics and nanoplastics. Rapid growth in global plastic...

Can Higher Education Respond to the Challenges of the Latest Industrial Revolutions. Shaping future technologies as testbeds of innovation and for educating and upskilling future generations

Apr 11, 2022

Abstract. Humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) were the most abundant and widespread species of primates, characterized by bipedalism, language, and large, complex brains. They lived as hunter-gatherers foraging and hunting to collect food from their environment. Controlled...

Marine Species for Biomonitoring and Toxicity Tests of microplastics and nanoplastics in the marine environment

Mar 10, 2022

Abstract, Μarine pollution due to plastic waste is a globally recognized threat that needs effective actions of control and mitigation. Continental plastic litter is flushed into the oceans by storms andriver systems or is directly discharged into coastal waters. At a...

Global Warming and Climate Change. Fossil fuels and anthropogenic activities have warmed the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and land

Feb 10, 2022

Abstract Τhere ιs overwhelming scientific evidence that anthropogenic activities, especially burning fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas), are leading to increased levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the Earth’s atmosphere. This process amplifies...

The COP26 UN Conference Promoted Climate to the Top of the Global Agenda. Opportunity for pivotal change in global climate policy to protect the long-term survival of humanity

Dec 9, 2021

Abstract. Energy from the Sun was the fundamental contributing factor in the emergence of life and evolution of living species on Earth.  Extensive use of fire, and later fossil fuels by humans contributed to their technological advances but followed by a crucial...

Global Biodiversity Crisis on Planet Earth. The variety of living things in the web of life is facing widespread extinction threats

Nov 18, 2021

Abstract. Biodiversity is the variety of all living things on Earth (plants, animals, microorganisms), and how they fit together in the web of life, bringing oxygen, water, food and a great number of other material and cultural benefits for the human civilization....

Risk Assessment and Toxicological Research for Microplastics and Nanoplastics. Adverse effects to marine organisms and potential harmful implications to human health

Oct 25, 2021

Abstract.Global plastics production reached 368 million metric tons in 2019. Exceptional properties, such as low cost, lightweight, high strength and durability, make plastics suitable for manufacture on a wide range of useful products and industrial materials. But in...
