Science and Technology of Advanced Materials provides an international forum for refereed original contributions, reviews and focus issues covering all aspects of materials science, including theoretical and experimental analysis, synthesis and processing, phase and structure analyses, characterization, properties, engineering and applications. Emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary nature of materials science and issues at the forefront of the field. The multi-faceted nature of materials science is more prominent in the rapidly-growing nanotechnology-related fields, where researchers need to gain knowledge from other fields of materials science. The interdisciplinary nature of this journal will help readers to understand various aspects of materials research outside their core expertise.The journal will be of interest to materials scientists and engineers involved in the structure, properties, processing and applications of advanced engineering materials.

Seminars in Ophthalmology offers current, clinically oriented reviews on the diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic disorders. Each issue focuses on a single topic, with a primary emphasis on appropriate surgical techniques.

This international journal deals with fundamental and applied aspects of separation processes related to a wide variety of fields. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The purpose of Sequential Analysis is to contribute to theoretical and applied aspects of sequential methodologies in all areas of statistical science. Published papers highlight the development of new and important sequential approaches.Interdisciplinary articles that emphasize the methodology of practical value to applied researchers and statistical consultants are highly encouraged. Papers that cover contemporary areas of applications including animal abundance, bioequivalence, communication science, computer simulations, data mining, directional data, disease mapping, environmental sampling, genome, imaging, microarrays, networking, parallel processing, pest management, sonar detection, spatial statistics, tracking, and engineering are deemed especially important. Of particular value are expository review articles that critically synthesize broad-based statistical issues. Papers on case-studies are also considered. All papers are refereed.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters ( SRHM) promotes sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) globally through its journal and 'more than a journal' activities. The Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters (SRHM) journal, formerly Reproductive Health Matters (RHM), is a peer-reviewed, international journal that explores emerging, neglected and marginalised topics and themes across the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights. It aims to publish original, relevant, and contemporary research, particularly from a feminist perspective, that can help inform the development of policies, laws and services to fulfil the rights and meet the sexual and reproductive health needs of people of all ages, gender identities and sexual orientations. SRHMpublishes work that engages with fundamental dilemmas and debates in SRHR, highlighting multiple perspectives, acknowledging differences, and searching for new forms of consensus. SRHM strongly encourages research that explores experiences, values, information and issues from the point of view of those whose lives are affected.

The Ship Technology Research ( Schiffstechnik) journal seeks to provide a sound and internationally-recognised platform for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in research, design and manufacture as well as operation and maintenance concerning ships and offshore structures. Engineers and researchers involved in the design and fabrication of ships and offshore structures are the primary audiences of interest.

The journal covers applied research in the following topics for ships and offshore structures:

• Resistance and propulsion in calm water and in waves
• Motions in waves and dynamic stability
• Wave loads, extreme and fatigue loads
• Fluid-structure interaction, whipping and springing
• Manoeuvring in calm water and in waves
• Slamming, sloshing and green-water loads
• Loads on appendages
• Cavitation and ventilation
• Ship dynamics in shallow and restricted waters
• Hydrodynamic interaction and multi-body problems
• Mooring, anchoring and station keeping
• Modelling of environment – wind and waves
• Development and validation of numerical methods
• Model tests and full-scale measurements
• Design loads and rule development
• Linear and nonlinear structural response for service loads and accidental actions
• Novel materials and material modeling including fatigue and fracture
• Design method developments and applications with a special focus on risk-based design methods as well as optimization techniques
• Design method developments and applications for Arctic conditions
• Life-cycle considerations and assessment incl. manufacture, inspection, monitoring, repair and maintenance
• Structural dynamics
• Strength and fatigue
• Mechanics of offshore structures

Papers submitted to the journal must be original and will be refereed to a high standard. Original research articles, review articles, case studies and technical notes are generally accepted for publication. Priority will be given to papers, which potentially have a large impact on design.

Free to read online until 1 January 2012: 2010 Best Paper Award Free access to Editorial: Special Issue on Reliability Analysis in the Design of Structures Ships and Offshore Structures is an international, peer-reviewed journal which provides an authoritative forum for publication and discussion of recent advances and future trends in all aspects of technology across the maritime industry.The Journal covers the entire range of issues and technologies related to both ships (including merchant ships, war ships, polar ships etc.) and offshore structures (floating and fixed offshore platforms, offshore infrastructures, underwater vehicles etc.) with a strong emphasis on practical design, construction and operation. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:8226; Initial planning and contracting 8226; Design 8226; Hydrodynamics and propulsion 8226; Structures and materials 8226; Stability and safety 8226; Construction and production 8226; Operation and lifetime care 8226; Machinery and marine engineering 8226; Ocean environmental engineering 8226; Polar engineering 8226; Conversion and decommissioningPapers of interest to Ships and Offshore Structures will thus be broad-ranging, and will include contributions concerned with principles, theoretical/numerical modelling, model/prototype testing, applications, case studies and operational records, which may take advantage of computer-aided methodologies, and information and digital technologies. Whilst existing journals deal with technologies as related to specific topics, Ships and Offshore Structures provides a systematic approach to individual technologies, to more efficiently and accurately characterize the functioning of entire systems.The Journal is intended to bridge the gap between theoretical developments and practical applications for the benefit of academic researchers and practising engineers, as well as those working in related governmental, public policy and regulatory bodies.Ships and Offshore Structures publishes articles in the form of:8226; Original research papers 8226; Practitioner reports 8226; Technology case studies 8226; Analytical commentaries 8226; ReviewsAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
