Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations is an international scientific journal that aims to make available knowledge on issues related to the nuclear industry and to promote development in the area of nuclear sciences and technologies. The endeavour associated with the establishment and the growth of the journal is expected to lend support to the renaissance of nuclear technology in the world and especially in those countries where nuclear programs have not yet been developed.The Journal is addressed to designers of nuclear reactor and utilities, regulatory bodies, as well as to researchers in government and academic institutions.The Journal seeks to cover industrial applications of nuclear technology and related disciplines, i.e. from mining to waste and incineration, embracing the design, operation and decommissioning of power plants, research reactors and special purpose reactors including sub-critical facilities, as well as the industrial use of radioisotopes. Papers are expected to focus on key aspects of industrial applications, including quality assurance, liability, safeguards, international cooperation, as well as training and management issues. Results of experiments that are relevant for nuclear reactor safety and design are also of interest. Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations publishes original scientific and technical papers in areas such as:Mining and milling of uranium;Fuel cycle management and related industrial installations;Fuel performance;Design and construction of nuclear power plants and research reactors;Control and operation of nuclear power plants and research reactors;Safety and licensing issues for nuclear power plants and research reactors;Transport of radioactive material;Waste and repository design and management;Radioprotection;Decommissioning of nuclear installations;Instrumentation in nuclear installations;Conventional aspects related to nuclear installations;Innovative nuclear technologies;Innovative computational and numerical methods.The Editorial Board will evaluate and classify the submitted manuscripts according to their originality and scientific and ethical content.

Scientific Programming provides a meeting ground for research results in, and practical experience with, software engineering environments, tools, languages, and models of computation aimed specifically at supporting scientific and engineering computing. Scientific Programming brings together in one place developments that are found in a wide variety of journals, conference proceedings and informal society journals. Scientific Programming publishes papers on language, compiler and programming environment issues for scientific computing. Of particular interest are contributions to programming and software engineering for grid computing, high performance computing, processing very large data sets, supercomputing, visualization and parallel computing. All languages used in scientific programming as well as scientific programming libraries are within the scope of the journal.

The intention of the journal Shock and Vibration is to provide a source for the publication of original, archival articles on shock, vibration, sound, structural dynamics, biodynamics, crashworthiness, earthquake engineering, gun dynamics, vehicle dynamics and dynamics and vibration performance of civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering structures. Among the specific areas to be covered are vibration measurements, testing and control, vibration condition monitoring and structural health monitoring, shock hardening, modal testing technology, shock testing, data acquisition, fluid-structure interaction, isolation, noise generation and control, damping, statistical energy analysis, identification (inverse) problems, impact biodynamics, vehicle dynamics, gun dynamics, crashworthiness and vibration serviceability in civil engineering structures. Contributions can cover computational, analytical, and / or experimental technology related to the general area of shock and vibration.

Stroke Research and Treatment is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all aspects of stroke.

The Journal Structural Control and Health Monitoring provides a forum in which survey articles and original research in the field of structural control can be communicated rapidly toward a cross-fertilization of information and ideas. An important aim is not only to achieve a balance between academic material and practical applications, but also to establish an interface between the many topics which characterise the interdisciplinary nature of structural control. The Journal encompasses all aspects of structural control theory and technology. Special attention will be devoted to civil and infrastructure engineering applications, but related fields, such as aerospace and ocean systems, will also be covered. Review articles and original contributions based on analytical, computational and experimental methods are solicited in three main areas: monitoring, control and smart materials and structures. Each area consists of several viewpoints, and it is from a mutual understanding of these that innovations arise, and this Journal pursues those innovations. Health monitoring, health diagnostics and sensor technology are the core of the first area. Passive, active and semiactive control schemes and implementations represent the second and central field. Shape memory alloys, piezoelectrics and mechatronics in general complete the picture. However, actuator design, dynamic systems, dynamic stability, artificial intelligence tools, data acquisition, wireless communications, measurements, MEMs sensors for local damage detection, optical fibre sensors for health monitoring, remote control of monitoring systems, sensor-logger combinations for mobile applications, corrosion sensors, scour indicators and experimental techniques span across the three areas and represent the backbone of the journal. Progress in Structural Engineering and Materials - Review Articles now incorporatedProviding access to key developments across all areas of structural engineering and related construction materials issues, Progress in Structural Engineering and Materials provides the reader with up-to-the minute, authoritative, comprehensive summaries of the most important and significant advances in the field.
