The First Joint Meeting on Soil and Plant System Sciences (SPSS 2019), titled “Natural and Human-Induced Impacts on the Critical Zone and Food Production”, aimed at integrating different scientific backgrounds and topics flowing into the Critical Zone, where chemical, biological, physical, and geological processes work together to support life on the Earth’s surface. The SPSS 2019 meeting gathered the thoughts and findings of scientists, professionals and individuals from different countries working in different research fields. This Special Issue comprises a selection of original works on the plant-related topics presented during this international meeting.

The Joint Meeting 9th International Symposium on New Materials and Nano-Materials for Electrochemical Systems and XII International Congress of the Mexican Hydrogen Society, “Challenges in New Materials Development for Sustainable Energy and Transport”, was held in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, on July 8-13, 2012. It served as a forum to disseminate the latest developments in relevant topics such as Advanced Batteries, Fuel Cells, Photoelectrochemical Cells, Hydrogen Production and Storage, among others. The Event was hosted by the Mexican Hydrogen Society (MHS). Founded in 1999, the MHS is nowadays the leading organization within Mexico bringing together Research Groups, Government Agencies and Industry partners to promote R&D related to hydrogen technologies. Plenary lectures were delivered by Prof. Nicolas Alonso-Vante from University of Poitiers (France), Prof. Perla B. Balbuena from Texas A&M University (USA), Prof. Bruce Parkinson from University of Wyoming (USA), Prof. Krishnan Rajeshwar from University of Texas At Arlington (USA), Prof. James J. Spivey from Louisiana State University (USA) and William Whittenberger from EcoLake Enterprises, LLC, Ohio, (USA). The Meeting included 62 oral presentations and 73 works at the poster sessions of delegates from Mexico, Canada, France, Argentina, Spain, Turkey, USA, China, Japan, Brazil, Venezuela, Portugal. This special issue of the Journal of New Materials for Electrochemical Systems includes selected papers presented at the Meeting, covering different important topics: Supercapacitors, Microbial Fuel Cells, Surface modification of polymer electrolytes, Capacitance studies, Materials for hydrogen evolution and hydrogen production, Dye-sensitized solar cells, Novel fuel cell membranes, Low Pt-content catalysts for PEMFCs anodes and cathodes, Autothermal Reforming of Ethanol, Steam Reforming of Biofuels, Anode electrocatalysts for DAFCs, We wish to thank the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (National Council for Science and Technology of Mexico, CONACyT) for the financial support that made possible the 9th International Symposium on New Materials and Nano-Materials for Electrochemical Systems and XII International Congress of the Mexican Hydrogen Society. Also, we extend our gratitude to Prof. O. Savadogo, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal, for encouraging the publication of this Special Issue. Also, we thank all of the authors for their contributions and to the referees for their comments and suggestions. The 10th International Symposium on New Materials and Nano Materials for Electrochemical Systems will be held in Montreal in July 5-8, 2015 The XIV International Congress of the MHS will be held in Cancun, Mexico, in 2014.

AbstractThe genesis for this special issue on pestiviruses was a joint meeting on pestiviruses organized by the US BVDV Symposia Committee and the European Society for Veterinary Virology that was held October 14 and 15, 2014 in Kansas City, MO. The theme of the meeting was “Pestiviruses: Old enemies and new challenges”. The impetus for this joint effort was the recognition that regional approaches to disease control are at odds with the worldwide traffic in animal products and biologics. Further, the control of newly recognized pestiviruses, such as HoBi-like viruses, is more effective when approached as a global challenge rather than any one nation's problem. The joint meeting featured talks by researchers from North America, South America, Australia and Europe. The papers in this issue arose from keynote talks presented at the joint meeting and are organized around the following themes; pestiviruses and the immune system, genetic variability, the emergence of new pestiviruses and pestivirus control programs.
