Science and technology (S&T) is broadly acknowledged as an essential tool for promoting and strengthening a nation's socioeconomic development. This volume discusses significant advances in various fields of science and technology over the years, including a knowledgeable workforce and promoting innovative intellectual ideas. Amidst rapid globalization, fast depleting material resources, increasing institutional competition, and growing demands for intellectual property protection, the importance of strengthening knowledge base is an important issue for the scientific and technology community to recognize. Given the global economic order, the S&T sector should focus on: strengthening applied research and development (R&D) for technology generation; promoting human resource development, particularly in promoting innovative ideas; promoting research and application of science and technology for natural disaster prediction, prevention and mitigation among other spheres.
