Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering is one of the few international journals all over the world that provides engineers, scientific researchers, construction and design specialists with the latest achievements in soil and rock mechanics theory, experimental investigations, geotechnical and foundation engineering problems and innovative solutions, design and construction practice in regions with regular and extreme soil conditions. Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering is a translation of the peer reviewed Russian journal Osnovaniya, Fundamenty i Mechanica Gruntov, established in Russia more than 50 years ago and presenting the articles of leading specialists not only from Russia but also from Asian, European and other countries.

Soils and Foundations is your core geotechnical journal from Asia; the official journal of the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS). The journal publishes a variety of original research paper, technical reports, technical notes, as well as the state-of-the-art reports upon invitation by the Editor, in the fields of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and environmental geotechnics. Since the publication of Volume 1, No.1 issue in June 1960, Soils and Foundations celebrated the 50th anniversary in the year of 2010.Soils and Foundations welcomes theoretical as well as practical work associated with the aforementioned field(s). Case studies that describe the original and interdisciplinary work applicable to geotechnical engineering are particularly encouraged. Discussions to each of the published articles are also welcomed in order to provide an avenue in which opinions of peers may be fed back or exchanged. In providing latest expertise on a specific topic, one issue out of six per year on average was allocated to include selected papers from the International Symposia which were held in Japan as well as overseas.

To publish original papers related to the scientific and technological development of welding, inspection, and related fields.

A unique, authoritative, international and multi-disciplinary periodical for those with a research and application interest in all branches of soldering and surface mount technologies.

This Russian Academy of Sciences journal publishes theoretical and applied articles on the chemistry and physics of solid fuels and carbonaceous materials. It addresses the composition, structure and properties of solid fuels and their conversion by different processes into other fuels, chemicals and by-products. Included is coverage of the technological aspects of various chemical conversion processes. From the geochemistry, petrology and systematization of fossil fuels, to their beneficiation and preparation for processing, the processes themselves, and the ultimate recovery of the liquid or gaseous end products, this journal provides comprehensive information on the chemistry of solid fuels.Major subjects covered are: Composition and structure of solid fuels Genesis of solid fuels Coal combustion Coal organic matter analysis Pyrolysis of low-rank coal, oil shale and peat Coal liquefaction Coal gasification High temperature pyrolysis Fossil fuel chemistry Hydrocarbon and oxygenate production from

However, given the wide availability of industrial simulators (Atlas, MEDICI etc), device simulation papers should be coupled with experiment or novel analytical approaches. Also, materials growth and characterization papers should be relevant to a current or future device technology.

View a list of the latest free articles available from Sports BiomechanicsSports Biomechanics is the scientific journal of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS). The journal sets out to generate knowledge to improve human performance and reduce the incidence of injury, and to communicate this knowledge to scientists, coaches, clinicians, teachers, and participants. The target performance realms include not only the conventional areas of sports and exercise, but also fundamental motor skills and other highly specialized human movements such as dance (both sport and artistic).Sports Biomechanics is unique in its emphasis on a broad biomechanical spectrum of human performance including, but not limited to, technique, skill acquisition, training, strength and conditioning, exercise, coaching, teaching, equipment, modeling and simulation, measurement, and injury prevention and rehabilitation. As well as maintaining scientific rigour, there is a strong editorial emphasis on 'reader friendliness'. By emphasising the practical implications and applications of research, the journal seeks to benefit practitioners directly. Sports Biomechanics publishes papers in four sections: Original Research, Reviews, Teaching, and Methods and Theoretical Perspectives.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Sports Engineering is an international journal publishing original papers on the application of engineering and science to sport. The journal intends to fill the niche area which lies between classical engineering and sports science and aims to bridge the gap between the analysis of the equipment and of the athlete. Areas of interest include the mechanics and dynamics of sport, the analysis of movement, instrumentation, equipment design, surface interaction, materials and modelling. These topics may be applied to technology in almost any sport. The journal will be of particular interest to Engineering, Physics, Mathematics and Sports Science Departments and will act as a forum where research, industry and the sports sector can exchange knowledge and innovative ideas.
