Life and AI are made of different stuff, yet they face many of the same problems. This book sets their solutions side by side, from the first cells to today's language models, to understand both.

Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory is a powerful framework for ecotoxicology and stress ecology. This book provides a gentle introduction into the concepts behind DEB theory, and how to apply them in practice to understand stressor effects. The book is completely "math free".

Discover how artificial intelligence is transforming scientific research, from hypothesis generation to autonomous experimentation. This book explores the models, algorithms and computational tools driving a new era of discovery, offering researchers and engineers the knowledge to understand, build and apply AI-powered scientific systems.

Η πρώτη πλήρης βιβλιομετρική αποτίμηση κάθε ελληνικού πανεπιστημιακού Τμήματος και των μόνιμων μελών ΔΕΠ: 23 πανεπιστήμια, 339 Τμήματα και 8.809 μέλη, σε τρεις βιβλιομετρικές πηγές.

The first complete bibliometric evaluation of every Greek university department and its tenured faculty: 23 universities, 339 departments and 8,809 faculty members, ranked across three bibliometric sources.

Some ideas are difficult to explain, no matter how well you know your subject. The Art of Making the Complex Clear shows you how to make complicated ideas easier to grasp without losing what makes them important. Grounded in science and backed by practical strategies, it helps you explain things in a way people understand, remember and act on.

You read to learn, but how much do you actually remember? Discover why most of what you read fades within days and how to make knowledge stick. Backed by cognitive science and neuroscience, this book offers practical strategies to retain what matters, recall it when needed and turn reading into lasting knowledge you can use.

What if learning faster had less to do with talent and more to do with how you learn? Discover the science behind rapid understanding, lasting knowledge and expert-level performance. This book shows you how to spot patterns, build mental models and master new skills faster than you thought possible, without relying on natural genius.

AI is changing the way we work, but its capabilities have limits that matter. Understanding What AI Cannot Do explores where AI falls short, which human skills remain valuable and how to build a career that can withstand technological change. Grounded in research and real-world examples, this book offers a clear-eyed guide to navigating an uncertain future.

From our earliest genetic responses to the rising age of artificial intelligence, what does it truly mean to be well? The Blueprint of Life bridges complex science and the human experience, revealing that health is fundamentally about identity, dignity, and hope.

Quanto è grande davvero il sistema energetico che sostiene la nostra vita quotidiana? Dal petrolio alle rinnovabili, dalle reti all’accumulo, dall’idrogeno alla fusione, Grandi Numeri, Grandi Impatti – Volume 2: Energia usa i numeri per raccontare la scala, i vincoli e le trasformazioni del sistema energetico. Perché prima di discutere quale sistema energetico vogliamo costruire, occorre capire quello che abbiamo.

Nature has already run the experiments. We just need to copy the results. Before human engineers built sensors, evolution spent millions of years perfecting them.Sensory Codex – Nature: The Big Scientist decodes 500 extraordinary biological mechanisms that bridge the gap between biology and the technologies of tomorrow. Ready to look at life through a different lens?

Review the theory. Work through the examples. Solve the problems. Prepare for your examinations with confidence.Aerodynamics, Turbomachinery & Computational Fluid Dynamics is designed as a practical review and examination-preparation guide for engineering students. It brings together essential concepts, equations, methods, worked examples, solved problems, and numerical exercises to help students quickly revise and apply what they have learned.The book places particular emphasis on step-by-step worked examples and problem solving. Important formulas and principles are followed by applications showing how to approach typical engineering problems, perform calculations, and interpret the results.Use it for systematic revision throughout the semester or intensive preparation before examinations. The worked examples and problems are especially useful for developing speed, accuracy, and confidence in solving numerical and analytical questions.Ideal for students of aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, and related disciplines, preparing for university examinations, competitive examinations, and technical assessments.

We'll begin with the most basic question — what does it mean to "see" something? — and walk step by step through how we gather information from the universe. From photons falling into telescopes to the fingerprints of atoms in starlight, you'll learn how we extract meaning from distant messengers. This book doesn't assume you're a physicist. What it assumes is that you're curious, thoughtful, and willing to slow down and think things through. We emphasize conceptual understanding, plain language, and building your own reasoning from the ground up. You'll walk in the shoes of astronomers, wrestle with cosmic puzzles, and come away with a deep, working intuition for how astrophysics actually works. Whether you're preparing for more advanced coursework, teaching others, or simply hungry to understand the universe for yourself, this is your starting point. Note: this material is originally developed as a required resource for a college course. The series continues to AftRoU: Physics of Stars and AftRoU: Physics of Galaxies. Their book versions are going to be available as soon as they are ready. Hopefully around January 2027 timeframe.

Build a strong foundation in physics without getting lost in jargon or formulas. Atom Education: Physics 101 combines intuitive explanations, practical examples, and structured problem-solving to make essential physics concepts easier to understand.
