This journal is a cover to cover translation of the Russian journal Prikladnaya Matematika i Mekhanika, published by the Russian Academy of Sciences and reflecting all the major achievements of the Russian School of Mechanics.The journal is concerned with high-level mathematical investigations of modern physical and mechanical problems and reports current progress in this field. Special emphasis is placed on aeronautics and space science and such subjects as continuum mechanics, theory of elasticity, and mathematics of space flight guidance and control.

The Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics (ZAMP) publishes papers of high scientific quality in Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics of Solids and Differential Equations/Applied Mathematics. A paper will be considered for publication if at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled:

The paper includes results or discussions which can be considered original and highly interesting.

The paper presents a new method.

The author reviews a problem or a class of problems with such profound insight that further research is encouraged.

The readers of ZAMP will find not only articles in their own special field but also original work in neighbouring domains. This will lead to an exchange of ideas; concepts and methods which have proven to be successful in one field may well be useful to other areas. ZAMP attempts to publish articles reasonably quickly. Longer papers are published in the section 'Original Papers', shorter ones may appear under 'Brief Reports' where publication is particular

The Journal of Biological Systems is published quarterly. The goal of the Journal is to promote interdisciplinary approaches in Biology and in Medicine, and the study of biological situations with a variety of tools, including mathematical and general systems methods. The Journal solicits original research papers and survey articles in areas that include (but are not limited to):*Complex systems studies; isomorphies; nonlinear dynamics; entropy; mathematical tools and systems theories with applications in Biology and Medicine.*Interdisciplinary approaches in Biology and Medicine; transfer of methods from one discipline to another; integration of biological levels, from atomic to molecular, macromolecular, cellular, and organic levels; animal biology; plant biology.*Environmental studies; relationships between individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems; bioeconomics, management of renewable resources; hierarchy theory; integration of spatial and time scales.*Evolutionary biology; co-evolutions; genetics and evolution; branching processes and phyllotaxis.*Medical systems; physiology; cardiac modeling; computer models in Medicine; cancer research; epidemiology.*Numerical simulations and computations; numerical study and analysis of biological data.*Epistemology; history of science.The journal will also publish book reviews.Manuscripts should be sent directly to the Chief Editor (rvjcm611121@yahoo.ca) or via the journal online submission at http://www.worldscinet.com/jbs/editorial/submitpaper.shtmlOnly original papers will be considered. Submission of a manuscript indicates a tacit understanding that the paper is not actively under consideration for publication with other journals. Once a paper is accepted, author are assumed to cede copyrights to their paper over to World Scientific Publishing Co.In order to better stress the biological significance and the interdisciplinary impact of the mathematical developments, those developments (e.g., the proofs of propositions) that are not absolutely necessary to follow the main line of thoughts should be placed in an Appendix and even erased when a trained mathematician can recover them, and the mathematical style of presentation, that is definition, lemma, proof, theorem, proof, corollary, proof, etc, should be relaxed as much as possibl.

The Journal of Chemometrics is devoted to the rapid publication of original scientific papers, reviews and short communications on fundamental and applied aspects of chemometrics. It also provides a forum for the exchange of information on meetings and other news relevant to the growing community of scientists who are interested in chemometrics and its applications. Short, critical review papers are a particularly important feature of the journal, in view of the multidisciplinary readership at which it is aimed.

This journal advances and promotes the theory and applications of combinatorial optimization, which is an area of research at the intersection of applied mathematics, computer science, and operations research and which overlaps with many other areas such as computation complexity, computational biology, VLSI design, communication networks, and management science.

The aim of this journal is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of the state-of-the-art information in the field of Computational Acoustics.Topics covered by this journal include research and tutorial contributions in OCEAN ACOUSTICS (a subject of active research in relation with sonar detection and the design of noiseless ships), SEISMO-ACOUSTICS (of concern to earthquake science and engineering, and also to those doing underground prospection like searching for petroleum), AEROACOUSTICS (which includes the analysis of noise created by aircraft), COMPUTATIONAL METHODS, and SUPERCOMPUTING. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in computational methods, the journal also considers theoretical research acoustics papers which lead to large-scale scientific computations.The journal strives to be flexible in the type of high quality papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable are*Full papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational acoustics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research in which other than strictly computational arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments.*Tutorial review papers, covering some of the important issues in Computational Mathematical Methods, Scientific Computing, and their applications.*Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication. The journal will occasionally publish significant contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers. Special issues which report results of high quality workshops in related areas and monographs of significant contributions in the Series of Computational Acoustics will also be published.

The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. Also the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms is of importance. The computational efficiency (e.g. the convergence, stability, accuracy, ...) should be proved and illustrated by nontrivial numerical examples. Papers describing only variants of existing methods, without adding significant new computational properties are not of interest.The audience consists of: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
