Special Issue on Proton Transfer Processes

It is well established that the hydrogen bond plays crucial role in many areas of physical, chemical and biological phenomena. The relevant proton transfer reactions are the simplest but very important in many chemical problems as well as in some biological processes. It appears that the low-barrier hydrogen bond (LBHB) for this displacement may play fundamental role in stabilizing intermediate...

Special issue on spatial moment techniques for modelling biological processes.

Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing awareness of, and interest in, the use of spatial moment techniques to provide insight into a range of biological and ecological processes. Models that incorporate spatial moments can be viewed as extensions of mean-field models. These mean-field models often consist of systems of classical ordinary differential equations and partial diffe...

Special Issue on Knowledge Integration and Innovation Processes

The issue of knowledge integration has been explored and described in the literature in many different ways and perspectives and by a significant number of authors. Knowledge integration can be seen as a process of distributed knowledge linking (Dougherty, 1992; Okhuysen & Eisenhardt, 2002) which is able to generate new value for organizations. In this vision a central activity of knowledge int...

Special Issue on Entropy Generation in Thermal Systems and Processes

Thermodynamics is defined as the science of energy and entropy which are applicable to all fields of science and engineering. This special issue is essentially devoted to the entropy generation in thermal engineering systems and applications. Entropy generation is one of the most significant problems to overcome to optimize a system/process and its performance, and this will unfortunately remai...
