It publishes accessible articles on research and industrial applications, new techniques and development trends.Production Planning & Control publishes keynote papers (by invitation), research papers with an applied bias, state-of-the-art reviews, tutorial reviews, case studies, reports on applications, conference reports and book reviews.To be published in Production Planning & Control, a paper will have been reviewed and accepted by at least two competent experts in the field. Reviewers are drawn from the Editorial Board and a list of occasional reviewers who have been nominated for their expertise. Reviewers' comments are based on relevance to the field, particularly applicability in industry, besides originality and scientific rigour.

iOpenAccess option now availablePsychology, Health & Medicine provides a forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. The journal reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings. Examining the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention, the journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention and management.For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge and health care practice.ReadershipThe journal is aimed directly at health psychologists, general psychologists, and health care workers such as hospital and community doctors, social workers, planners and managers. The journal will be accessible and of use to both the academy and the professionals.Peer Review IntegrityAll research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the Content ) contained in its publications.

C. elegans RDE-4 is a double-stranded RNA binding protein that has been shown to play a key role in response to foreign double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). We have used diverse tools for analysis of gene function to characterize the domain and organismal foci of RDE-4 action in C. elegans. First, we examined the focus of activity within the RDE-4 protein, by testing a series of RDE-4 deletion constructs for their ability to support dsRNA-triggered gene silencing. These assays indicated a molecular requirement for a linker region and the second dsRNA-binding domain of RDE-4, with ancillary contributions to function from the C and N terminal domains. Second, we used mosaic.

Taylor & Francis is pleased to announce that Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids is incorporating Plasma Science and Plasma Technology. Researchers in these fields are invited to submit their papers.Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids publishes experimental and theoretical papers of both a fundamental and applied nature that contribute to the understanding of defects and phenomena induced by the interaction of all types of radiation with condensed matter. The range of contributions encompasses: radiation physics; radiochemistry; radiobiology and physical effects of medical irradiation, including research on radiative cell degeneration; optical, electrical and mechanical effects of radiation; and their secondary effects such as diffusion and particle emission from surfaces; plasma techniques and plasma phenomena. Topics covered include atomic and electronic properties of defects induced by radiation; the influence of such defects on lattice properties and processes; the lattice-defect approach to solid state reactions such as clustering, precipitation, laser annealing and the role of impurities; the defect dynamics in a non-steady state such as under-particle or electromagnetic irradiation, or during rapid temperature change; radiation enhanced oxidation; problems associated with the metastable nature of amorphous materials and surface modifications.Emphasis will also be put on plasma related topics such as Laser-generated plasma, plasma diagnostics, laser-plasma interaction, Equilibrium and non-equilibrium plasmas, ion emission from plasmas, particles emission from plasmas, photon emission from plasmas, plasma production techniques and plasma behavior under various conditions, dielectric barrier discharges, instabilities and fluctuations, zonal flows, effects in plasma and fusion reactors, magnetospheres, and problems of surface and interface treatment such as coatings and thin film formation and material180;s adhesion and attachment of particles and biomatter.Materials studied may include: semiconductors; polymers and other organic materials; biomatter; and inorganic compounds such as metal oxides, high Tc superconductors and minerals. Submissions discussing biomaterials and nanomaterials are particularly encouraged. Papers dealing with radiation effects on metals will be considered but purely metallurgical papers are not appropriate.Papers dealing with radiation effects in R&D applications are also encouraged, for example: accelerator technology; electronics and opto-electronics; sensors; dosimetry and medical technologies; decontamination, food sterilization, plasma, fusion and fission devices and space research.All research articles published in Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial screening by the Editor and refereeing by two anonymous referees.Taylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
