Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews
The aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for the critical analysis of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their applications in human and veterinary medicine. The Journal has a broad scope, covering the key issues for effective drug and gene delivery, from administration to site-specific delivery.In general, the Journal publishes review articles in a Theme Issue format. Each Theme Issue provides a comprehensive and critical examination of current and emerging research on the design and development of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their application to experimental and clinical therapeutics. The goal is to illustrate the pivotal role of a multidisciplinary approach to modern drug delivery, encompassing the application of sound biological and physicochemical principles to the engineering of drug delivery systems to meet the therapeutic need at hand. Importantly the Editorial Team of ADDR asks that the authors effectively window the extensive volume of literature, pick the important contributions and explain their importance, produce a forward looking identification of the challenges facing the field and produce a Conclusions section with expert recommendations to address the issues.Articles review the current status of a specific topic, giving equal emphasis to the identification of major conceptual and technological challenges to successful drug and gene delivery, to an evaluation of triumphs as well as shortcomings in current conceptual and technical approaches, and to a discussion of their possible solution.Theme issues are commissioned by one of the Executive Editors or the Editor-in-Chief. The Journal does not publish stand alone manuscripts. If you wish to submit a theme issue topic for consideration, please contact one of the editors.- ISSN: 0169-409X
Process Safety and Environmental Protection
Publication of the Institution of Chemical Engineers Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering: Part BPSEP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering concerned with the safety of industrial processes and the protection of the environment.Papers that deal with new developments in safety or environmental aspects, demonstrating how research results can be used in process engineering design and practice, are particularly encouraged. Experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research will also be considered. The journal is especially interested in contributions that extend the boundaries of traditional engineering as well as in multidisciplinary papers.Papers related to environmental protection must take an integrated pollution control approach, demonstrating clearly that any proposed treatment method does not simply transfer pollution from one environmental medium to another, for example, from air to water or from water to solid waste. All such papers must discuss how any treatment effluents, spent adsorbents, etc., can be treated or disposed of safely, avoiding transfer of pollution to another environmental medium.For environmental protection, papers that are outside the scope are those that lack engineering aspects, including those that:use experimental techniques primarily to prepare and/or characterise various materials without considerations of process engineering design and practice;present primarily laboratory experiments of the effects of different parameters on behaviour of materials and pollutants (e.g. pH, temperature, mass of adsorbent, etc.) without further insights into the implications for engineering design and practice;focus primarily on adsorption models and curve fitting (e.g. Freundlich, Langmuir etc.); andcontain only chemical, physical and/or thermodynamic analyses.Core topic areas:Risk Assessment and Reliability EngineeringRisk assessment, risk management, consequence analysis, and uncertainty quantificationSupply chain risk managementCyber and physical security vulnerability assessmentRisk assessment of hydrogen-based technologiesHuman reliability analysis (HRA) and human-machine interface (HMI)Reliability predictions of integrated systems and high-temperature power electronicsIntegrity management and reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM)Technical Safety and Loss PreventionFire and gas detectionFirewater systemsFunctional safety and safety integrity levels (SIL)Layer of protection analysis (LOPA)Bowtie analysisEmergency responseHAZOP and other hazard/risk identification techniquesModellingM... liquid, gaseous, and two-phase releases and dispersionConsequenc... modelling, including: fire, explosion, toxic, eco-toxic effects and projectile impactsMethods, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD)Accident investigation and modellingChemical Toxicity and Exposure AssessmentToxic releases and exposure assessmentProcess plant health issues.Process Pipelines, Storage and SecurityProcess pipelines security and terrorismPipeline leak detection and measurement and corrosion assessmentCarbon capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 transportFire and ExplosionFire, combustion, and explosion phenomenaDust explosionsFire and blast protection and survivabilityHuman Factors in Design and ManagementHSE performance measurement including leading and lagging indicatorsHuman and organizational factors in safety casesHuman performance optimization by designSIMOPS (simultaneous operations)Situation... awarenessCommunicati... and risk control systemsResilience engineeringTechnical assurance and workforce trainingInherent Safety and Inherently Safer DesignHazard identificationDesign and development of new processes and equipmentMethodologi... for ranking inherent safetyRetrofitting inherently safer solutions and upgrading existing plant for improved safetyEnergy SafetyNuclear reactor protective and monitoring systemsSmall modular reactor safetyEnergy storage (e.g., metal hydride) safetyElectrochemica... system (e.g., fuel cells, batteries) safetySafety throughout the life cycle of the energy system Safety of novel energy systems (e.g., ammonia) Reaction HazardsChemical thermal stability and thermal reaction hazardsInfluence of impurities on reaction hazardsDevelopment of reactivity hazard index ranking toolsRunaway reactions, including detection and mitigationCompatibil... of chemicals involved in a chemical processIndustrial Hazards and Safety CasesMajor accident hazards ALARP and cost-benefit analysisIndustrial safety casesIncident investigations and case historiesCase histories of incidents and lessons learned integration into design and operationsTechnical analysis of incidentsComputation... modelling to simulate actual incidentsUse of incidents in training and improvement of safety performanceIncident investigation methodologiesInciden... databases and their applicationsAir pollution prevention and treatmentMethods and technologies for prevention and treatment of air pollutionAir dispersion modelling Prediction and mitigation of air pollution incidentsHealth impacts from air pollutionResource and waste managementRecovery and recycling of materials and productsEnergy from waste and alternative resourcesWaste minimisationWaste treatment technologiesWaste management: systems and processes for energy and material recovery and waste treatment;

Separation and Purification Technology
Separation and Purification Technology is a journal dedicated to the dissemination of novel methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering for homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. This includes any separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors and gases, resource recycling, purification of biobased feedstocks/products, carbon capture and separation, with the exception of methods intended for analytical purposes. The journal welcomes contributions related to bioseparations in biotechnology, pharmaceutical production, food processing, and environmental applications. Soil science, polymer science and metallurgy are outside the scope of the journal. The Official Journal of the American Filtration and Separations Society.Contribution... should be always related to new or improved separation methods or principles; applications are welcome provided that they are not a direct implementation of known separation methods.Separation and Purification Technology welcomes contributions focused on experimental studies and theoretical analyses of phenomena associated with and arising from separation and purification as well as process development and simulation, equipment design and fabrication. Preparation and modification of materials used in separation and/or purification operations can be considered if the intended separation and/or purification is an essential part of the work rather than a tool for characterization of a material. Such new materials should allow for separations that cannot be achieved with existing materials; alternative materials for e.g., adsorption are not sufficiently novel. Simulation studies are welcome, but should be accompanied by experimental verification. In view of ethical concerns regarding the detrimental impacts of fluorinated compounds, studies relying fully or in part on materials such as PVDF or PTFE are limited to the environmental impacts of PVDF-based materials used in separations and on possible environmentally-frie... alternatives. Research on fossil fuels is limited to studies not aiming at enhanced exploitation of fossil reserves. Manuscripts should be of global significance; studies addressing a local, national or regional challenge will not be accepted. The global relevance should be clearly explained in the manuscript.Review papers should be written by an author with proven expertise in the field, and provide a critical assessment of the state-of-the-art in a specific topic related to novel approaches in separation and purification.- ISSN: 1383-5866
