Mechanics of Materials
Forum for original scientific research on the flow, fracture, and general constitutive behavior of advanced technological and natural materialsMechanics of Materials, a journal in the field of solid mechanics and materials, aims to disseminate research work in the broad spectrum of engineering and natural materials. It reports research with a mechanically oriented description of substructures from nano- to macro-scales encompassing spatio-temporal behaviors, material instabilities, damage and fracture mechanisms, and interactions between mechanics and multiphysics phenomena including electricity, magnetism, chemistry and optics. Particular emphasis is placed on the inspection of strain rates, spatio-temporal scales, inception of microstructural features and their evolution, and couplings between mechanics and transport phenomena.The topics covered by the journal include: Thermo-mechanical constitutive response of metals, polymers, soft materials, bio-materials, natural and geo materials, ceramics, metallic glasses, granular materials, composites, shape-memory alloys, nanostructured materials, etc. Mechanics-based investigations on emerging areas such as 3D printing, additive manufacturing, bio-inspired materials, 2D materials, e.g., graphene and thin films, are encouraged. Articles that propose advances in combined experimental/computa... approaches in the above fields are of particular interest.

Pattern Recognition Letters
An official publication of the International Association for Pattern RecognitionPattern Recognition Letters aims at rapid publication of concise articles of a broad interest in pattern recognition. Subject areas include all the current fields of interest represented by the Technical Committees of the International Association of Pattern Recognition, and other developing themes involving learning and recognition. Examples include:• Statistical, structural, syntactic pattern recognition; • Neural networks, machine learning, data mining; • Discrete geometry, algebraic, graph-based techniques for pattern recognition; • Signal analysis, image coding and processing, shape and texture analysis; • Computer vision, robotics, remote sensing; • Document processing, text and graphics recognition, digital libraries; • Speech recognition, music analysis, multimedia systems; • Natural language analysis, information retrieval; • Biometrics, biomedical pattern analysis and information systems; • Special hardware architectures, software packages for pattern recognition.We invite contributions as research reports or commentaries.Researc... reports should be concise summaries of methodological inventions and findings, with strong potential of wide applications. Alternatively, they can describe significant and novel applications of an established technique that are of high reference value to the same application area and other similar areas.Commentaries can be lecture notes, subject reviews, reports on a conference, or debates on critical issues that are of wide interests.To serve the interests of a diverse readership, the introduction should provide a concise summary of the background of the work in an accepted terminology in pattern recognition, state the unique contributions, and discuss broader impacts of the work outside the immediate subject area. All contributions are reviewed on the basis of scientific merits and breadth of potential interests.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology
The Journal of Ethnopharmacology is the Official Journal of the International Society for Ethnopharmacology. The journal is dedicated to the exchange of information and understandings about people's use of plants, fungi, animals, microorganisms and minerals and their biological and pharmacological effects based on the principles established through international conventions.The Journal of Ethnopharmacology publishes original articles concerned with the observation and experimental investigation of the biological activities of plant and animal substances used in the traditional medicine of past and present cultures, which document indigenous medical knowledge, study indigenous medicines in order to contribute in the long-run to improved health care in the regions of study, and which report on pharmacologically unique principles from existing indigenous remedies.The journal will particularly welcome interdisciplinary papers with an ethnopharmacological... an ethnobotanical or an ethnochemical approach to the study of indigenous drugs. It is imperative that experimental studies are aligned and related to the traditional use(s).Furthermore:R... of anthropological and ethnobotanical field studies fall within the journal's scope.Studies involving pharmacological and toxicological mechanisms of action are especially welcome.Clinical studies on efficacy will be considered if contributing to the understanding of specific ethnopharmacological problems.The journal welcomes review articles in the above-mentioned fields especially those highlighting the multi-disciplinary nature of ethnopharmacology.

It is aimed at the professional involved with computer security, audit, control and data integrity in all sectors - industry, commerce and academia - helping the community build and operate fully secure systems and organisations.With its high-profile editorial board and informative regular features and columns, the journal is essential reading for IT security professionals around the world.Our cutting edge research will help you secure and maintain your systemsWe accept only the highest quality of papers ensuring that you receive the relevant and practical advice you needWe don't only highlight the threats, we give you the solutionsCryptology: The journal's editorial scope has explicitly excluded cryptology since 2006. Therefore, submissions with some aspect of cryptology (including blockchains, watermarking, and steganography) as a principal component will not be considered for review.AI and ML: As of early 2024, we have instituted a moratorium on consideration of submissions that feature AI or ML as significant components. Thus, submissions about applying an AI/ML technique to system security and privacy topics will not be considered. Also, items directed to the security of AI/ML systems themselves (such as LLM and federated learning) are out of scope of the journal and should be submitted to a venue primarily about AI/ML.
