The Special Issue entitled: “Development of Food Chemistry, Natural Products, and Nutrition Research” is focused on the recent development of food chemistry research, including natural products’ sources and nutrition research, with the objectives of triggering interest towards new perspectives related to foods and opening a novel horizon for research in the food area. The published papers collected in this Special Issue are studies that refer to different aspects of food, ranging from food chemistry and analytical aspects, to composition, natural products, and nutrition, all examined from different perspectives and points of view. Overall, this Special Issue gives a current picture of the main topics of interest in the research and proposes studies and analyses that may prompt and address the efforts of research in the food area to find novel foods and novel applications and stimulate an environmentally-friendly approach for the re-use of the by-products of the agro-food area. This notwithstanding, the main challenge is currently addressed to achieve a full comprehension of the mechanisms of action of food components, the nutrients, outlining their high potential impact as preventive and/or therapeutic tools, not only as a source of macro- and/or micro-nutrients, which are necessary for all the metabolic and body functions.

Selection Of

The study of systems and complexity has taken an intriguing route in the last hundred years, involved some of the most fascinating scientists, synthesised new fields of research and found novel applications requiring a fresh and revolutionary approach. Computational Cybernetics is a pragmatic response for the needs of engineering and social systems that integrates Cybernetics with Computational Intelligence. The IEEE International Conference on Computational Cybernetics (IEEE ICCC) has been successfully promoting the open-minded but scientifically sound integration of advanced mathematical and systems engineering methods in multidisciplinary domains since 2003. This special issue is a selection of the most characteristic and instructive papers from the previous IEEE ICCC conference, held in the summer of 2006 in Tallinn, Estonia. All of the papers in this issue represent vividly the broad scope and integrating nature of Computational Cybernetics. As Tar et al. notes in the first paper, a century-old conjecture of Hilbert solved fifty years ago can help us build new solutions in the 21st century in the field of nonlinear system control. In the same way each of the following papers represent a bridge between analogies from nature, computational methods and challenging multidisciplinary problems – helping us to convey our message to the professional audience of this journal. The special issue editors would like to thank the authors of the papers in this issue, the participants of the IEEE ICCC conferences for contributing to its stimulating, multidisciplinary environment and the professional support of the Journal editors and their staff.

Palladium (Pd)-based membranes have received a lot of attention from both academia and industry thanks to their ability to selectively separate hydrogen from gas streams. Integration of such membranes with appropriate catalysts in membrane reactors allows for hydrogen production with CO2 capture that can be applied in smaller bioenergy or combined heat and power (CHP) plants, as well as in large-scale power plants. Pd-based membranes are, therefore, regarded as a Key Enabling Technology (KET) to facilitate the transition towards a knowledge-based, low carbon and resource-efficient economy. This Special Issue of the journal Membranes on “Pd-based Membranes: Overview and Perspectives” contains nine peer-reviewed articles. Topics include manufacturing techniques, understanding of material phenomena, module and reactor design, novel applications, and demonstration efforts and industrial exploitation.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the key to success in novel applications ranging from robotics to speech- and image-recognition systems, and from stock forecast investment systems to informal communication between robots and humans. The last two decades have seen AIfs focus shift from philosophical arguments to practical applications in both science and technology. AI researchers and educators have simultaneously recognized mutual commonality in their work and have initiated much-needed multidisciplinary approaches to AI. Guest Editor, Michael Negnevitsky, organized the 3rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Science and Technology (AISAT 2009) in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia last year, bringing together a globally diverse group of scientists and engineers to discuss issues related to practical AI applications in science and technology. The workshop featured presentations from the US, Japan, Malaysia, Spain, Kuwait, and Australia. All papers were peer reviewed by two experts for technical content, contribution, and originality to ensure high presentation quality. Fewer than 30% of submissions were accepted for presentation at the Workshop. Authors of the most outstanding presentations at AISAT 2009 were encouraged to submit manuscripts to this special issue, whose papers present innovative approaches and promising practical applications for AI. Submissions were reviewed for relevance, originality, significance, and presentation based on JACIII review criteria. We are sure that readers will find these papers both interesting and inspiring. We hope also that they will motivate researchers to expand their studies on AI applications in science and technology.
