All papers published in this journal are subject to peer review.Archiv für Hydrobiologie, now Fundamental and Applied Limnology has been published continuously since 1906. .

The development of drug-resistant mutants and the emergence of new viruses are adding additional burdens to the already time-constrained virology community. The need to move swiftly in the event of a new disease outbreak makes it essential for the virologist to keep up-to-date with all key advances. Future Virology delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for this ever-expanding area of research.

Gastrointestinal Tumors is an international, peer-reviewed journal that brings together the leading opinions in all fields related to gastrointestinal cancer research. Ranging from the identification of new therapeutic targets to epidemiology, disease prevention, treatment, and patient management, the journal provides a platform for the dissemination of key opinions and research from thought leaders in the field. By publishing timely reviews and original papers covering the latest developments, the journal helps readers to gain insight into the evolving body of research across the relevant disciplines.

Each hardcover title is devoted to a single topic to provide the kind of in-depth, useful information anesthesiologists need in daily practice. The articles are written to include information on physiology, pharmacology of the agents, clinical applications of the techniques, and causes of complications and their treatment. 2009 Topics: Critical Care Anesthesia; Anesthesia in Remote Locations: Radiology and Beyond, Part I; Anesthesia in Remote Locations: Radiology and Beyond, Part II; Perioperative Risk Reduction.Website: www.anesthesiaclinics.com.

IJARGE proposes and fosters discussion on the evolution and governance of agricultural resources, with emphasis on the implications that policy choices have on both the welfare of humans and the ecology of the planet. This perspective acknowledges the complexity of the agricultural sector as an interface between ecological and socio-economic processes operating in parallel over different space-time scales, as well as the reflexive characteristic of human systems.

Biometrics and human biometric characteristics form the basis of research in biological measuring techniques for the purpose of people identification and recognition. IJBM addresses the fundamental areas in computer science that deal with biological measurements. It covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of human identification and verification.

IJCAT addresses issues of computer applications, information and communication systems, software engineering and management, CAD/CAM/CAE, numerical analysis and simulations, finite element methods and analyses, robotics, computer applications in multimedia and new technologies, computer aided learning and training.

The journal publishes short communications, research articles and topical reviews devoted to the application of advanced geometric methods (including differential geometry, algebraic geometry, global analysis, algebraic topology, non-commutative geometry, supergeometry) to quantum theory, classical and quantum field theory, gauge and BRST theory, unification models, non-perturbative quantum gravity, string and brane theory, classical and quantum integrable systems, quantum computation and control theory.

Intelligent information systems and intelligent database systems are a very dynamically developing field in computer sciences. IJIIDS focuses on research in applications of advanced intelligent technologies for data storing/processing in a wide-ranging context, involving solutions to real-life problems in which it is necessary to apply intelligent technologies to achieve effective results. The emphasis of the reported work is on new and original research and technological developments rather than reports on the application of existing technology to different sets of data.

Intelligent systems refer broadly to computer embedded or controlled systems, machines and devices that possess a certain degree of intelligence. IJISTA, a peer-reviewed double-blind refereed journal, publishes original papers featuring innovative and practical technologies related to the design and development of intelligent systems. Its coverage also includes papers on intelligent systems applications in areas such as manufacturing, bioengineering, agriculture, services, home automation and appliances, medical robots and robotic rehabilitations, space exploration, etc.

IJLSM addresses the development of logistics resources, emphasising the implications that logistics strategies and systems have on organisational productivity and competitiveness in global and electronic markets. Globalisation of markets and logistics services is closely related to the success of a company. This perspective indicates the importance of effective logistics systems and their management for organisational effectiveness and competitiveness. The journal intends to provide executives and academics with the state of the art of logistics systems and supply chain management.

IJMatEI highlights research and development into recent advances in composites, ceramics, functionally graded materials, cellular materials and ecomaterials. It covers all aspects of modern materials engineering, including preparation and processing, relationships between structure (nano/micro) and properties (physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, electrical and magnetic), as well as performance and technological applications for advanced industry. New concepts for preparing, assembling and functionalisation of materials inspired by nature, or radically new approaches to improve existing processes and reliability of materials, are encouraged.

JSNet proposes and fosters discussion on and dissemination of issues related to research and applications of distributed and wireless/wired sensor and actuator networks. Sensor networks is an interdisciplinary field including many fields such as wireless networks and communications, protocols, distributed algorithms, signal processing, embedded systems, and information management.

Six Sigma is a statistics-based, process-focused, data-driven strategy and methodology, coupled with management concepts and lean tools, that aims to improve the quality of process outputs. Six Sigma seeks to identify the causes of failures and minimize variability in key industrial processes in areas, such as healthcare, manufacturing, and service. IJSSCA aims to publish original research that strengthens the current theoretical base and suggests potential for the advancement of industrial practice.

Today's businesses have become extremely complex. For a variety of reasons such as globalisation, the pressures of competitive forces have enhanced product changes, supercharged by shortening product and technology development lifecycles. Managing value chains in such a highly dynamic economic environment has become critical for survival and growth of organisations. IJVCM has been established to reflect and explore the issues and developments of value chain technology and management.

IUBMB Life, edited by Angelo Azzi and William J. Whelan, is the flagship journal of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and is devoted to the rapid publication of the most novel and significant short articles, reviews and papers in the broadly defined fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and molecular medicine.

The official journal of the Mathematical Society of Japan, the Japanese Journal of Mathematics is devoted to authoritative research survey articles that will promote future progress in mathematics. It encourages advanced and clear expositions, giving new insights on topics of current interest from broad perspectives and/or reviewing all major developments in an important area over many years. An eminent international mathematics journal, the Japanese Journal of Mathematics has been published since 1924. It is an ideal resource for a wide range of mathematicians extending beyond a small circle of specialists.

The focus of JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology; is on practice-related issues of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. In original reports and reviews, physicians will find expert insights on the first and second line treatments. Other regular features include quick-reading mini-reviews, radiographic case discussions, and critiques of new and coming treatments. A multidisciplinary international editorial board provides readers with authoritative worldwide coverage from well-known experts on the science and practice of rheumatology.
