This book is a product of the Third International Conference on Computing, Mathematics and Statistics (iCMS2017) to be held in Langkawi in November 2017. It is divided into four sections according to the thrust areas: Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, and Multidisciplinary Applications. All sections sought to confront current issues that society faces today. The book brings collectively quantitative, as well as qualitative, research methods that are also suitable for future research undertakings. Researchers in Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics can use this book as a sourcebook to enrich their research works.

This book features a selection of works presented in the 3rd International Conference on BioGeoSciences in a unified framework. It focuses on the physical and mathematical modelling of natural processes and environments at different spatial and temporal scales. This interdisciplinary book presents a comprehensive collection of case studies grouped according to the planetary ‘’spheres’’: lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, magnetosphere and biosphere. It serves as a valuable resource for scientists engaged in natural and exact sciences.

This book brings together papers presented at the 3rd Conference of Research in Economics and Management (CIREG) held in Morocco in May 2016. With a focus on the challenges of SMEs and innovative solutions, they highlight the contribution of researchers in the fields of business and management, with all their micro and macro-economic aspects. They shed light on the universal scientific vision of the importance of SMEs with answers relevant to their local context and adapted to their specific national situation. The relevance of SME research lies in its heuristic value of analyzing change, rather than in constructing a category, a particularly useful empirical concept. This third volume is focused on marketing and human resources.

First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.

This volume reports key findings of the Biodiversity Program of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' Beijer Institute. The program brought together a number of eminent ecologists and economists to consider the nature and significance of the biodiversity problem. In encouraging collaborative work between these closely related disciplines it sought to shed new light on the concept of diversity; the implications of biological diversity for the functioning of ecosystems; the driving forces behind biodiversity loss; and the options for promoting biodiversity conservation. The results of the program are surprising. It is shown that the core of the biodiversity problem is a loss of ecosystem resilience and the insurance it provides against the uncertain environmental effects of economic and population growth. This is as much a local as a global problem, implying that biodiversity conservation offers benefits that are as much local as global. The solutions as well as the causes of biodiversity loss lie in incentives to local users.
