Specialized electronics for these instruments as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in NIM-A, as do new simulation codes and analysis tools*). Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.*) We receive an increasing number of submissions that are based exclusively on simulated data generated by standard codes such as ANSYS, Geant4, MAFIA, to name a few. Often the codes are used in a black-box manner to simulate relatively simple concepts and geometries without any validation of the results. Such submissions if found to fall short of our thresholds for originality and innovation may be rejected. We face a similar situation related to the use of standard neural networks (deep learning) that are used to analyse all kinds of data (experimental or Monte-Carlo generated). Unless there is a clear motivation and a significant performance increase compared to a conventional analysis, such submissions may be rejected without starting the review process.- ISSN: 0168-9002

Computers & Structures
Solids • Structures • Fluids • MultiphysicsComputer... & Structures publishes advances in the development and use of computational methods for the solution of problems in engineering and the sciences. The range of appropriate contributions is wide, and includes papers on establishing appropriate mathematical models and their numerical solution in all areas of mechanics. The journal also includes articles that present a substantial review of a field in the topics of the journal.With the modern use of computers and numerical methods to model and solve problems, the traditional boundaries between the fields of solid/structural mechanics and fluid mechanics hardly exist any longer, and multiphysics problems are solved that involve all aspects of mechanics. The word 'structures' must therefore now be interpreted in a broad sense including solids, fluids and multiphysics.Compute... & Structures publishes papers in these fields that either present novel and quite general techniques, or offer substantial new insights into important methods. If a paper presents novel techniques, some comparison with known advanced methods is necessary. If a paper is to provide substantial new insights into advanced methods, then this can be achieved by strong numerical experiments, some mathematical analysis, and/or comparisons with well-designed physical test data. In either case, the paper must contribute to advancing the state of the art.The focus of Computers & Structures is on having an impact on the practice of simulations in mechanics as found in many industries and research endeavours, including the fields of engineering, such as civil and environmental, mechanical, biomechanical, automotive, aeronautical, and ocean engineering, and including the various fields of the sciences.In these areas, papers are sought on the automatic solution of mathematical models of 'structures' in the broadest sense, possibly including phenomena of multiphysics, multiscale, and uncertainties. Also, papers presenting algorithms for optimization and the simulation of complete life cycles of systems are sought.Established in 1971, and with online submission and review launched in 2006, Computers & Structures is indispensable for researchers and practitioners in academic, governmental and industrial communities.Related Conferences: can be accessed via the links on the right menu bar, under Related websites.- ISSN: 0045-7949

Research must be innovative and advance scientific knowledge.Characteri... - For all polysaccharides or their derivatives, including those obtained from a supplier, essential structural information which will affect their behavior in the subsequent work should be given, along with a description of how that information was ascertained. Editors are unlikely to send papers for formal review if the glycan is not adequately characterized. Please read the guidelines Characterization of carbohydrates and related products carefully as it contains all relevant information.Hypothes... - Nearly all scientific papers benefit from inclusion of a statement of hypothesis. Such statements should be concise, declarative, and should describe the one or more key hypotheses that the studies upon which the manuscript is based were intended to confirm or refute. Inclusion of a hypothesis statement makes it simple to contrast the hypothesis with the most relevant previous literature and point out what the authors feel is distinct about the current hypothesis (novelty). It also permits the authors to describe why they feel it would be important to prove the hypothesis correct (significance).Topic... of interest to the journal: structure-property relationships analytical methods chemical, enzymatic and physical modifications biosynthesis natural functions interactions with other materialsTopics not of interest to the journal: Bibliometric reviews Studies that involve only modelling without any comparison of model results with experimental data, either carried out by the authors or from the literature. biological, physiological and pharmacological aspects of non-carbohydrate molecules attached to, or mixed with, carbohydrate polymers, unless the polysaccharide has a relevant and specific role materials science of biocomposites where there is no mention of any specific carbohydrate polymer, or the role of the carbohydrate polymer is not the major proportion of the study polyalkanoates, polylactic acid, or lignin routine studies of extraction yields without characterisation of the extracted polysaccharide under the different conditions studies of complexation of a drug with a single cyclodextrin studies of newly discovered natural polysaccharides or new polysaccharide derivatives where the structure of the polysaccharide (derivative) is unknown production and isolation of enzymes which act on polysaccharides (studies on the mode of action of an enzyme on a polysaccharide are within the journal scope)carbohydrate oligomers where the degree of polymerization is equal to or less than four treatments of cotton fabrics and cellulose-based paper where the research is largely not about the component cellulose itself use of carbohydrate polymers as a support material (e.g. in enzyme immobilization, chromatography, etc.) where there is no specific involvement of the chemistry of the carbohydrate polymer production of chars from polysaccharides, regardless of the application to which the char will be used.

COCIS is not a primary journal; rather, it seeks to guide the researcher through the maze of recently published literature, critically analyses the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks, unsolved issues and proposes future developments. The Journal highlights areas and papers which, in the opinion of the Editors and the Section Editors, are of special interest and significance.The scope of COCIS is divided in five Sections that include subtopics as listed below:Colloid components and colloidal materials (surfactants, polymers and polyelectrolytes, emulsions and microemulsions, self-assembly)Biolog... systems, medicine and health (biological colloids and interfaces, drug delivery, food colloids, cosmetics)Films and charged systems (electrokinetics, thin liquid films and foams, wetting and spreading)Colloidal systems for energy and environmental technologies (energy and energy storage, environmental technologies)Advance... methodologies (microscopy methods, NMR, rheology, surface analysis techniques, surface forces, x-ray, light and neutron scattering, theory and simulation)In addition, COCIS publishes "hot topic" special issues focused on emerging or timely topics. For each of the above areas, Section Editors are appointed, who commission expert scientists to write informed and critical articles on a selected topic. COCIS articles are not intended to be comprehensive compilations of the relevant literature, but are rather personal articles by the invited contributor(s), which aim to inform the reader of the major developments in the area, and to identify those papers which have made the greatest impact on the field, and open new perspectives. Normally, the period covered by the review concerns the previous five years.This is a Current Opinion journal, a series of established invite-only review journals that offer authoritative, systematic synthesis of emerging and hot topics.

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

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcomed, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives, and Outreach to the General Public.Main Categories: Full-length articles: Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications. The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications. The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechan... Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.Review articles: Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.Other Categories: Critical Focused Issues - consist of single articles on emerging topics of interest. Articles in this category identify problems of current interest that need to be addressed in the future in order to advance an emerging subfield of magnetism. By identifying such open issues, they focus the interest of the community to the challenges ahead. Thus, unlike review articles, this category will aim more on the future and what needs to be explored, rather than on what has been explored in the past. Of course, the articles include a review aspect in order to identify the open issues and put them into perspective. The articles need not be long, exhaustive or comprehensive. They provide the vision of the authors, who are recognized experts in the field. Readers utilize these articles to focus their thinking on future endeavors. These articles should also help to generate proposals to funding agencies worldwide. Current Perspectives - Current Perspectives consists of clusters of articles on emerging topics of interest. The articles have guest editors who formulate and manage the intellectual scope of the project. A cluster is composed of authors who represent their own perspective and who possess diverse opinions on facets of the topic. A cluster, in its totality, provides a balanced point of view, while each individual article is free to be discriminating. The articles within a cluster have invited status, the articles are typically of short-to-medium length, and the reference lists must be adequate but not necessarily extensive. The clusters are expected to focus not only on what is known, but also on what the open questions are that need to be addressed in the future. The articles should be written at a level that inspires the next generation of graduate students. The guest editors typically provide an overview article to tie the cluster together thematically. Outreach to the General Public - These are articles of a general nature that highlight the importance of magnetism and stimulate the interest of the public at large. A heightened awareness of magnetism is healthy for our field. Experts who have given public lectures will be encouraged to submit their work in order for them to reach a larger community. It will also help our readers in their own communications with the public. These articles need not be long, exhaustive or comprehensive. They provide the vision of the authors. Providing the public with the importance of magnetism and magnetic materials at a level that can be understood and appreciated will be a public service. It will also inspire a new generation of students, have a positive influence on science policy, and strengthen the case of our community in the eyes of funding agencies worldwide.- ISSN: 0304-8853

Papers describing native pathway engineering and synthesis of heterologous pathways for converting microorganisms into microbial cell factories are also welcome.Experimental... computational, and modelling approaches for the elucidation of metabolic pathways and their manipulation by genetic, media, or other environmental means are presented. Efficient probing of metabolic pathways requires the application of appropriate methods from molecular biology and biochemistry, along with modeling and data analysis techniques from engineering. MBE provides a forum for communicating such interdisciplinary research, as well as relevant results in the constituent areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, applied microbiology, cellular physiology, cellular nutrition in health and disease, and biochemical engineering.Types of papers: Original Research Papers, Review Papers.Authors are also welcome to submit to MBE's companion title, Metabolic Engineering Communications, which publishes shorter articles and those describing key elements of larger metabolic engineering efforts.- ISSN: 1096-7176

Groundwater for Sustainable Development
Groundwater for Sustainable Development is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing the science, management, governance, and protection of groundwater resources in support of sustainable, resilient societies and ecosystems.Groundwat... is fundamental to water, energy and food security, human health, economic development, ecosystem functioning, and adaptation to climate variability and change. At the same time, groundwater systems worldwide face increasing pressures from overexploitation, contamination, land-use change, urbanization, climate change, seawater intrusion, and competing demands. Addressing these challenges requires approaches that connect hydrogeological understanding with environmental, technological, socioeconomic, institutional, and policy dimensions.The journal provides a global platform for high-quality research that improves understanding of groundwater systems and translates scientific knowledge into effective solutions for their sustainable use, protection, restoration, and governance. It places particular emphasis on studies that clearly demonstrate relevance to groundwater sustainability, provide methodological or conceptual advances, and generate insights transferable beyond a single study area.The journal welcomes research on:Groundwater resources and aquifer systems: occurrence, recharge, storage, flow, discharge, groundwater–surface water interactions, aquifer characterization, water balances, and resource assessment.Groundwat... quality and hydrogeochemistry: natural and anthropogenic controls on groundwater chemistry, geogenic contaminants, salinization, seawater intrusion, nutrients, trace elements, emerging contaminants, pathogens, and processes affecting groundwater quality.Groundwater contamination and remediation: contaminant sources, transport and fate, vulnerability and risk assessment, remediation technologies, natural attenuation, and prevention and management strategies.Groundwat... sustainability and resource management: sustainable abstraction, groundwater depletion and recovery, water-use efficiency, conjunctive use, demand management, groundwater allocation, and strategies for balancing human and environmental water needs.Climate change, drought, and groundwater resilience: impacts of climate variability and change on recharge, storage, quality, availability, and groundwater-dependen... systems; groundwater drought; extreme events; and the role of aquifer management, and policy response in climate adaptation and water-security strategies.Managed aquifer recharge and groundwater replenishment: MAR, aquifer storage and recovery, water banking, nature-based recharge solutions, recharge enhancement, water reuse, and assessment of their technical, environmental, economic, and societal performance.Groundwa... ecosystems and environmental flows: interactions among groundwater, rivers, wetlands, springs, terrestrial ecosystems, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, including approaches for their protection and restoration.Groundwa... agriculture, cities, industry, and energy: groundwater within food–water–energy–ec... systems, irrigation and agricultural productivity, urban groundwater, industrial water use, subsurface energy systems, geothermal energy, hot and cold water relation, and competing sectoral demands.Groundwater governance, policy, economics, and society: institutions, regulation, groundwater rights and allocation, economic instruments, social-ecological systems, community-based management, equity, environmental justice, stakeholder participation, transboundary aquifers, and the political economy of groundwater.Groundwa... and human health: exposure to groundwater contaminants, drinking-water security, health-risk assessment, and interdisciplinary approaches connecting groundwater quality with public health.Monitoring, modeling, and emerging technologies: field and sensor-based monitoring, numerical and conceptual modeling, remote sensing, geophysics, environmental tracers and isotopes, artificial intelligence and machine learning, data assimilation, digital tools, decision-support systems, and other innovative methods that provide demonstrable advances in groundwater understanding or management.Solutions... interventions, and implementation: evaluation of groundwater-manageme... measures, adaptation strategies, successful and unsuccessful interventions, implementation barriers, trade-offs, scalability, and evidence-based pathways toward sustainable groundwater systems.Article expectations:The journal particularly encourages studies that move beyond site description to provide new scientific understanding, methodological innovation, management relevance, or transferable lessons. Case studies are welcome when they address a clearly defined scientific or sustainability question and demonstrate relevance beyond the specific study area.Interdisciplina... and transdisciplinary research connecting groundwater science with engineering, ecology, climate science, public health, economics, governance, and the social sciences is strongly encouraged.Studies based primarily on routine groundwater-quality characterization, standard water-quality indices, conventional GIS overlay methods, or the application of established models or machine-learning algorithms without clear methodological innovation, process understanding, validation, or broader sustainability significance are generally outside the journal's priority scope. Also, the development of new water treatment materials or processes with limited relevance to groundwater is beyond scope.Groundwater for Sustainable Development seeks to connect science, policy, and solutions, supporting evidence-based pathways toward groundwater systems that are environmentally sustainable, socially equitable, economically viable, and resilient to future change.- ISSN: 2352-801X
