The journal also covers the most important applications of functional analysis in mathematics, mechanics, and theoretical physics. Founded by I. M. Gel'fand in 1967, Functional Analysis and its Applications is a translation of the peer-reviewed Russian journal Funktsional'Nyi Analiz i Ego Prilozheniya, a publication of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Functional & Integrative Genomics is devoted to large-scale studies of genomes and their functions, including systems analyses of biological processes. Topics covered include: - Whole genome analyses/bioinformatics/expression profiling - Genomics (structural, comparative, integrative) - Proteomics and Metabolomics (integrated with function) - Metagenomics - Human disease genes and loci - Large-scale/high throughput analysis of biological systems Emphasis will be placed on manuscripts addressing important biological problems using large-scale systems and approaches. Studies on bacterial, fungal, protista, plant and animal genomes are welcome. Papers describing new techniques will only be considered for publication if they are sufficiently novel and broadly applicable.

Fungal Biology and Biotechnology

Fungal Diversity is an international journal which publishes papers spanning all facets of the field of mycology. The coverage encompasses biodiversity, and systematic and molecular phylogeny. The content includes novel research articles and review articles, all of which are peer reviewed. Fungal Diversity is the official journal of Kunming Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is based in China.All articles in this journal are published Online First and are citable by their permanent DOI. This online version is considered the official publication, not simply a prepublication service, and should be considered the Version of Record as defined by NISO RP-8-2008. After online publication, any corrections require the publication of an Erratum.

The Future Business Journal is a blind peer-reviewed journal that will be published bi-annually by Future University in Egypt. It is dedicated to increasing the depth of the subject across disciplines with the ultimate aim of expanding knowledge of the subject.
The Future Business Journal (FBJ) publishes conceptual and empirical research papers spanning all the major research fields in Management, Marketing, Accounting, Micro Economics, Management Information Systems, and Finance. The Journal's emphasis is on theoretical developments and their implementation, empirical, applied, and policy-oriented research in Management, Marketing, Accounting, Micro-Economics Management Information System and Finance. The Journal's purpose is to improve communications between, and within, the academic and other research communities and policymakers and operational decision makers. Future Business Journal fills a unique niche among business publications of its type by publishing articles that strike a balance between the practical and the academic fields, recognizing the intricate relationships between many areas of business activities.

Specifically, the journal publishes original researches in all fields that interest Pharmacists as drug absorption & metabolism, pharmacokinetics & dynamics, drug delivery including gene delivery, drug targeting and nano-technology, Pharmacotherapeutics, community and hospital pharmacy as well as Pharmaceutical and hospital management. The scope will also cover researches in toxicology, cell and molecular biology, biomedical research, basic & clinical and pharmaceutical microbiology, pharmaceutical biotechnology, medicinal chemistry, phytochemistry and nutraceuticals.

Proceedings of scientific meetings may be published as special issues or supplements to the Journal. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal are only accepted on the understanding that: they are subject to editorial review (generally by two independent referees); they have not been, and will not be, published in whole or in part in any other journal.

Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Making has been accepted for Science Citation Index Expanded and Current Contents/Engineering Computing and Technology and will first appear with an Impact Factor in the 2009 Journal Citation Reports (JCR), published in June 2010. Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Making covers all aspects of the theory and practice of fuzzy optimization and decision making in the presence of uncertainty. It examines theoretical, empirical, and experimental work related to fuzzy modeling and associated mathematics, solution methods, and systems. The journal publishes papers in the following areas: modeling, theoretical developments, algorithmic developments, systems development and applications. This journal promotes research and the development of fuzzy technology and soft-computing methodologies to enhance our ability to address complicated optimization and decision making problems involving non-probabilistic uncertainty. It helps foster the understanding, development, and practice of fuzzy te

Mathematics concerned with geoscientific problems, i.e., Geomathematics, is becoming increasingly important, as first, modern high speed computers and satellite based techniques are entering more and more all geodisciplines and secondly a growing public concern about the future of our planet exists, its climate, its environment, and about an expected shortage of natural resources . Efficient strategies of protection against threats of a changing earth and the exceptional situation of getting terrestrial, airborne as well as spaceborne data of better and better quality explain the strong need of new mathematical structures, tools, and methods.GEM – The International Journal on Geomathematics publishes peer-reviewed mathematical papers that deal with (i) modelling of the system Earth (geosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere) (ii) analytic, algebraic, and operator-theoretic methods and (iii) computational and numerical analysis methods necessary for the mathematical treatment of geoscientifically relevant problems. Book reviews are welcome.
