High Entropy Materials
High Entropy Materials covers the fundamental concepts of these materials and their emerging applications. To fulfil growing energy demand, scientists are looking for novel materials which can be used for the fabrication of high-performance energy devices. Many materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and metal oxides are used in energy production and storage. A new class of metal oxides, multicomponent metal oxides, known as high entropy materials, have attracted considerable attention not only for their energy applications but also other emerging applications such as use in sensors, catalysts, and CO2 absorption. Key Features: Reviews state-of-the-art developments Provides new directions to scientists, researchers, and students to better understand the principles, technologies, and applications of high entropy materials Discusses ongoing challenges and visions for the future
Big Data and HPC: Ecosystem and Convergence
Due to the increasing need to solve complex problems, high-performance computing (HPC) is now one of the most fundamental infrastructures for scientific development in all disciplines, and it has progressed massively in recent years as a result. HPC facilitates the processing of big data, but the tremendous research challenges faced in recent years include: the scalability of computing performance for high velocity, high variety and high volume big data; deep learning with massive-scale datasets; big data programming paradigms on multi-core; GPU and hybrid distributed environments; and unstructured data processing with high-performance computing. This book presents 19 selected papers from the TopHPC2017 congress on Advances in High-Performance Computing and Big Data Analytics in the Exascale era, held in Tehran, Iran, in April 2017. The book is divided into 3 sections: State of the Art and Future Scenarios, Big Data Challenges, and HPC Challenges, and will be of interest to all those whose work involves the processing of Big Data and the use of HPC.

Social Mobility in Developing Countries
Social mobility is the hope of economic development and the mantra of a good society. There are disagreements about what constitutes social mobility, but there is broad agreement that people should have roughly equal chances of success regardless of their economic status at birth. Concerns about rising inequality have engendered a renewed interest in social mobility--especially in the developing world. However, efforts to construct the databases and meet the standards required for conventional analyses of social mobility are at a preliminary stage and need to be complemented by innovative, conceptual, and methodological advances. If forms of mobility have slowed in the West, then we might be...
