Biodiversity of Marine Microbes
Marine microbial life is comprised of a variety of different evolutionary groups from all
three domains of life, Eukaryotes, Bacteria, and Archaea. It is responsible for about half of the
primary production on earth, plays irreplaceable roles in biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem
functioning, and actively participates in complex processes and interactions. Marine microbes are the
basis of marine trophic webs (autotrophs), and an important link between different trophic levels,
as decomposers, parasites, and endosymbionts. They are used as biological indicators of water
quality, eutrophication, and degraded marine environments, and are targeted in conservation and
restoration plans.

Advanced Composite Biomaterials
“Biomaterials” is one of the most important fields of study in terms of its development in the 21st century. This is due to both the progress of medical science, material science, chemistry, and physics, and the large number of practical needs its scope can address—materials for favoring osteointegration, systems for controlled release of drugs, materials and sites for tissue engineering, etc

Advanced Techniques for Ground Penetrating Radar Imaging
Introduction
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has become one of the key technologies in subsurface sensing and, in general, in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), since it is able to detect both metallic and nonmetallic targets. Furthermore, it can also provide images from the underground, thus improving detection capabilities.
