Kľúčové oblasti výskumu


Na základe informácií, ktoré boli prezentované na globálnom vedeckom fóre v Taiwane vyplýva, že súčasnými kľúčovými oblasťami výskumu sú:

1. kvalita života
2. medicína
3. biotechnológie
4. zelené technológie
5. obnoviteľné zdroje

Predstavujeme Vám populárne encyklopédie v týchto oblastiach výskumu, ktoré Vám môžeme ponúknuť (všetky máme skladom okrem prvej z nich, ktorá ešte nevyšla):

1. Encyclopedia of Quality of Life Research, 8 Volume Set, Springer, 2012-2013

The first comprehensive reference work on scientific and other scholarly research on the quality of life. The encyclopedia covers the subject of quality-of-life from a multi disciplinary perspective. Including the behavioral and social sciences as well as health and healthcare.

2. Comprehensive Biomaterials, 6 Volume Set, Elsevier, 2011

Biomaterials is a dynamic, changing field that impacts modern medicine and therapeutics in diverse ways. This modern, all-encompassing comprehensive treatment accurately captures the diversity, breadth and dimensions of the biomaterials field. It describes the many modern aspects of biomaterials - from basic science to clinical applications - across the formulations and chemistry of polymers, ceramics and metals and their use in various biomedical devices and implants, as well as their clinical performance and host responses. Conventional clinically accepted biomaterials as well as emerging prototypes, studies and new ideas, along with visionary predictions of future biomaterials compositions and capabilities, are all extensively covered by hundreds of experts in the field. This title: reviews the current status of nearly all biomaterials in the field by analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, performance as well as future prospects; presents appropriate analytical methods and testing procedures in addition to potential device applications; and, provides strategic insights for those working on diverse application areas such as R&D, regulatory management, and commercial development.

3. Comprehensive Biotechnology, 6 Volume Set, Elsevier, 2011

The integration of the latest relevant science and industry practice with fundamental biotechnology concepts is presented with entries from internationally recognized world-leaders in their given fields. With two volumes covering basic fundamentals, and four volumes of applications, from environmental biotechnology and safety to medical biotechnology and healthcare, this work serves the needs of newcomers as well as established experts combining the latest relevant science and industry practice in a manageable format.

5. Comprehensive Biophysics, 9 Volume Set, Academic Press, 2012

Biophysics (also biological physics) is an interdisciplinary science that applies theories and methods of the physical sciences to questions of biology. Biophysics research today comprises of a number of specific biological studies. These studies do not share a unique identifying factor, or subject themselves to clear and concise definitions. This is the result of biophysics' relatively recent appearance as a scientific discipline. The studies included under the umbrella of biophysics ranges from sequence comparison to neural networks. In the recent past, biophysics included creating mechanical limbs and nanomachines to regulate biological functions. Nowadays, these are more commonly referred to as belonging to the fields of bioengineering and nanotechnology respectively. We may expect these definitions to further refine themselves. Biophysics often does not have university-level departments of its own, but have presence as groups across departments within the fields of physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, biology, biochemistry, medicine, pharmacology, physiology, and neuroscience. The field of Biophysics counts a large number of journals that are directly and indirectly concerned with the field. There is no reference work that encompasses the entire field and unites the different areas of research. "Comprehensive Biophysics" fills this vacuum, being a definitive work on Biophysics. Biophysical research today encompasses many areas of biology. These studies do not necessarily share a unique identifying factor. This work unites the different areas of research and allows users, regardless of their background, to navigate through the most essential concepts with ease, saving them time and vastly improving their understanding. It will help users apply context to the diverse journal literature offering, and aid them in identifying areas for further research. Chief Editor Edward Egelman (E-I-C, "Biophysical Journal") has assembled an impressive, world-class team of Volume Editors and Contributing Authors. Each chapter has been painstakingly reviewed and checked for consistent high quality. The result is an authoritative overview which ties the literature together and provides the user with a reliable background information and citation resource.

6. Comprehensive Renewable Energy, Elsevier, 2012

Comprehensive Renewable Energy is the only multi-volume reference work of its type at a time when renewable energy sources are seen increasingly as realistic alternatives to fossil fuels. As the majority of information published for the target audience is currently available via a wide range of journals, seeking relevant information (be that experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of either a fundamental or applied nature) can be a time-consuming and complicated process.

Comprehensive Renewable Energy is arranged according to the most important themes in the field (photovoltaic technology; wind energy technology; fuel cells and hydrogen technology; biomass and biofuels production; hydropower applications; solar thermal systems: components and applications; geothermal energy; ocean energy), and as such users can feel confident that they will find all the relevant information in one place, with helpful cross-referencing between and within all the subject areas, to broaden their understanding and deepen their knowledge. It is an invaluable resource for teaching as well as in research.
