The New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia provides a focus for research and a source of information on practical and theoretical developments in hypermedia, hypertext, interactive multimedia and related technologies. These highly innovative systems allow the integration of images, sound, text and data to form powerful tools for information retrieval; by linking multimedia with mass storage, they can provide users with a more diverse and richly textured information environment. The New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia covers the following key themes: the conceptual basis of hypertext systems; cognitive aspects; design strategies; intelligent and adaptive hypermedia; automatic authoring; personalisation, knowledge organization systems and services; the semantic web; Web 2.0; link metrics; link dynamics; time and synchronisation; multimedia authoring tools; navigation and browsing; search systems; content-based retrieval; studies of information seeking behaviour; testing and evaluation; user interfaces; multi-modal interaction; experience design; web accessibility; physical hypermedia; virtual environments; literary and creative hypermedia; applications in e-learning, information management, digital libraries, social networking, publishing, commerce, the professions and public administration.The New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia appears in both print and digital format.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation publishes letters, papers and review articles describing the results of research and development in the underlying theory, novel techniques and applications of nondestructive testing and evaluation. Articles concerning both the investigation of physical processes and the development of mechanical processes and techniques are welcomed. Studies of conventional techniques, including radiography, ultrasound, eddy currents, magnetic properties and magnetic particle inspection, thermal imaging and dye penetrant, will be considered in addition to more advanced approaches using, for example, lasers, squid magnetometers, interferometers, synchrotron and neutron beams and Compton scattering. Work on the development of conventional and novel transducers is particularly welcomed. In addition, articles are invited on general aspects of nondestructive testing and evaluation in education, training, validation and links with engineering.All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems welcomes all important research and expository papers in the area of hybrid dynamic systems, i.e., systems involving the interplay between discrete and continuous dynamic behaviors.Computer and embedded reactive control systems which includes discrete switching logic and event-driven interactions with continuous systems are ubiquitous in everyday life. These systems become increasingly complex and difficult to design and to verify while the requirements for dynamics performances and safety are also increasing. The development of systematic methods for efficient and reliable design of hybrid systems is a key issue in control technology and industrial information, and thus it is currently of high interest to control engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians in research institutions as well as in many industrial sectors.Contributions are invited in all areas pertaining to hybrid dynamic systems including: Modeling, modeling languages and specification; Analysis, computability and complexity; Stochastic systems; Impulsive systems; Verification; Abstraction; Optimization; Control synthesis and real-time control; Computation and control over networks; Neural or fuzzy approaches to hybrid systems; Synchronization of oscillators and chaotic systems; Fault diagnosis and dependability; Simulation, implementation and tools.Contributions on applications of hybrid dynamic systems methods are also encouraged. Fields of interest include: process industry, automotive, avionics, communication networks, energy systems, transportation networks, embedded systems, biology and other sciences, manufacturing and robotics.
Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications welcomes all research articles of the highest quality with special emphasis on applying techniques of nonlinear analysis to model and to treat nonlinear phenomena with which nature confronts us. Coverage of applications includes any branch of science and technology such as solid and fluid mechanics, material science, mathematical biology and chemistry, control theory, and inverse problems.The aim of Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications is to publish articles which are predominantly devoted to employing methods and techniques from analysis, including partial differential equations, functional analysis, dynamical systems and evolution equations, calculus of variations, and bifurcations theory.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Nonlinear Dynamics provides a forum for the rapid publication of original research in the field. The journal’s scope encompasses all nonlinear dynamic phenomena associated with mechanical, structural, civil, aeronautical, ocean, electrical, and control systems. Review articles and original contributions are based on analytical, computational, and experimental methods. The journal examines such topics as perturbation and computational methods, symbolic manipulation, dynamic stability, local and global methods, bifurcations, chaos, and deterministic and random vibrations. The journal also investigates Lie groups, multibody dynamics, robotics, fluid-solid interactions, system modeling and identification, friction and damping models, signal analysis, and measurement techniques.

The project on independent on-line library of Blackhorse Scientific Publishers has been intorduced as early as in 1999 when Blackhorse became an independent publishing house. During previous Springer time, several efforts was made to create the up-to-date scalable and relayable database. However, on that time no such similar on-line library existed in Poland. So, the new venture to offer the full text database containing all manuscripts published at Blackhorse\'s journals started in June 1999. Just amonths thereafter, Blackhorse became a registrant of The Digital Object Identifier Foundadtion, Inc. (Washington, DC) and started to collect the manuscripts accordant to the DOI standards. The special numbering system providing and assuring the full control over several manuscripts and unifing them was developed and introduced into the standarized company's workflow.
