Journal Guide

TEST is an international journal of statistics and probability, sponsored by the Spanish Society of Statistics and Operations Research. Its scope includes both established and emerging areas, and English is the journal’s official language.TEST focuses on papers that offer original theoretical contributions and that have demonstrated or potential value for applications. Methodological content is crucial for publication in the journal as is detailed coverage of practical implications.In addition to the regular contributions, each issue of TEST features an invited paper covering a current and challenging topic authored by an internationally recognized statistician. One volume is published annually in four issues.Officially cited as: TestImpact factors

TOP is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Statistics and Operations Research. International in focus, the journal publishes original findings in operations research and management sciences. Contributions investigate either mathematical issues or applications to real-world decision-making problems. The topics covered are continuous and discrete optimization, games, decision theory, logistics, production planning, stochastic models, simulation, and OR applications.Officially cited as: Top

Despite the major efforts made in oncology over the past ten years, only relatively modest improvements have been made in the conventional treatment of cancer. Recently, a better understanding of molecular pathways has provided pathologists with clues to the parthenogenesis of the disease and multiple targets for new strategies. New treatments, monoclonal antibodies or small molecules, have emerged targeting these pathways and inhibiting tumor growth and progression. These 'mabs' and 'nibs' constitute a new language with its own grammar that oncologists have to learn. Significant work remains in controlling theses processes and understanding these new compounds. This journal aims to be a pragmatic tool for all physicians committed to the field, focusing on insight into the basic science of cellular functions, critical reviews of clinical data. The Société française d'angiogenèse is affiliated to the journal.

This journal offers practical information on all aspects of applied physics, especially instrumentation and measurement techniques. Particular attention is given to plasma physics, plus related fields such as the study of charged particles in electromagnetic fields, synchrotron radiation, relativistic electron beams, gas lasers and discharges. Coverage extends to Applied physics, especially plasmas; quantum electronics; surface effects; accelerator design and development; atomic and molecular physics; materials science; and theoretical and mathematical physics. Also well represented are studies of the properties of condensed matter, including semiconductors and superconductors, and material science.

This companion journal to Technical Physics offers rapid publication of developments in theoretical and experimental physics with potential technological applications. Recent emphasis has included many papers on gas lasers and on lasing in semiconductors, as well as many reports on high Tc superconductivity. The excellent coverage of plasma physics seen in the parent journal, Technical Physics, is also present here with quick communication of developments in theoretical and experimental work in all fields with probable technical applications.

SCOPEThe journal Theoretical Foundations of Chemical Engineering (Teoreticheskie osnovy khimicheskoi tekhnologii) publishes original articles on transport phenomena, chemical hydrodynamics, nonlinear processes in chemistry and chemical engineering, surface phenomena (e.g., the Marangoni effect), self-organization in nonequilibrium systems, synergetics, macrokinetics of chemical reactions, and the theory and methods for calculating chemical reactors. Processes where the separation of mixtures are encountered play the key role in processing industries. Still of current importance are the theory and practice of diffusion processes (distillation, gas absorption, adsorption, drying, liquid extraction, dissolution, and crystallization), among which the maximum attention is drawn to integrated reaction-mass-transfer processes and all types of membrane processes. An important field is the intensification of heat and mass transfer processes under the action of various factors such as electric and magnetic fields, ultr

Thermal Engineering (Teploenergetika) is the most widely read Russian publication concerned with thermal energy and engineering. The articles published analyze the current state and perspectives of energy development, design and operation of power engineering equipment such as that at thermal and nuclear power stations, energy conservation and pollution control, the theoretical fundamentals of heat engineering, and non-traditional heat sources.

Founded in 1994, Thermophysics and Aeromechanics offers original reports, reviews, and discussions on hydro-gas dynamics, heat and mass transfer, turbulence, methods of aero- and thermo-physical experiment, physics of low-temperature plasma, and physical and technical problems of energetics. These are the fields of investigation at the Kutateladze Institute of Thermophysics SB RAS and the Khristianivich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics SB RAS. The journal promotes exchange of information between the researchers of Russia and the international scientific community. Contributors to Thermophysics and Aeromechanics represent Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, UK, USA, etc. The journal publishes articles of both a basic and applied character, as well as theoretical and numerical simulation, experimental data and descriptions of experimental technology and new engineering principles.

Transformation Groups will only accept research articles containing new results, complete proofs and an abstract. Topics include: Lie groups and Lie algebras; Lie transformation groups and holomorphic transformation groups; Algebraic groups; Invariant theory; Geometry and topology of homogeneous spaces; Discrete subgroups of Lie groups; Quantum groups and enveloping algebras; Group aspects of conformal field theory; Kac-Moody groups and algebras; Lie supergroups and superalgebras. Transformation Groups will also publish surveys, written by order of the Editorial Board
