Advances in Building Energy Research (ABER) aims to provide expert and authoritative reviews and analyses of the most important developments across the rapidly expanding fields of energy efficiency and environmental performance of buildings. It also provides a unique forum by bringing together invited contributions from the foremost international experts, to examine new technologies and methodologies with the latest research on systems, simulations and standards.Annually published and peer-reviewed, it delivers an invaluable resource for architects, building engineers, environmental engineers, industry professionals, students, teachers and researchers in building science. Topics covered by ABER include: 183; invaluable thermal comfort in the built environment 183; advanced materials to improve energy efficiency of buildings 183; indoor air quality 183; energy efficient lighting and daylight 183; visual comfort in the built environment 183; thermal and air flow studies in the urban environment 183; passive solar heating of buildings and passive cooling in buildings 183; energy efficient HVAC systems for buildings 183; urban energy systems 183; design and retrofitting of energy efficient buildings 183; use of renewable energies in the built environment 183; natural , mechanical and hybrid ventilation 183; monitoring and measurement techniques in buildings 183; energy rating and classification of buildings 183; intelligent control of buildings 183; building physics 183; environmental impact and sustainability in the building sector 183; legislative and educational aspects for energy efficient buildings.

Rural Landscapes: Society, Environment, History is a peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to landscape research and interdisciplinary communication. Rural Landscapes aims to be a leading academic forum for the blending, contrasting and bridging of contemporary and historical landscape studies that engage with environmental and societal perspectives on rural landscapes in all parts of the world.

The journal accepts contributions from a broad range of research fields, such as historical ecology, political ecology, rural development, landscape ecology, palaeo-ecology, archaeology, anthropology, sociology, history, agriculture, forestry and geography.

The IJEP is a refereed journal providing an international forum for the field of Environment and Pollution. One of three key journals (along with IJETM and IJGEnvI) which together offer complete coverage of key environmental issues, it addresses medium-term challenges involving scientific prediction, modelling and assessment, and social and economic policy areas.

Future Internet (ISSN 1999-5903) is a scholarly open access journal which provides an advanced forum for scientific studies related to Internet technologies and the information society. It publishes regular research papers, reviews and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers or the use of color figures. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) regrets to inform you that we have decided to discontinue our involvement in the Academy of Spinal Cord Injury Professionals (Academy).As you know, PVA has made a significant investment of time and resources in supporting the Academy and the educational activities of the Congress of Spinal Cord Medicine over the past two years. We respect the desire of the Academy leadership to completely control the future direction of the organization, but as our vision of the relationship was that of a true partnership, we have decided that our interests lie in a different direction. We value the opportunity that we had to work with the Academy governance board and its members, and wish the Academy leadership well in future endeavors.
