Soil Biology & Biochemistry
【内容简介】
This journal is a forum for research on soil organisms, their biochemical activities and their influence on the soil environment and plant growth. It publishes original work on quantitative, analytical and experimental aspects of such research. Soil biology and soil biochemistry cover many scientific disciplines but a single journal brings together the results and views of research workers working in a wide variety of research areas. The scope of this journal is wide and embraces accounts of original research on the biology, ecology and biochemical activities of all forms of life that exist in the soil environment. Some of the subjects which have proved to be prominent are the biological transformations of plant nutrients in soil, nitrogen fixation and denitrification, soil-borne phases of plant parasites, the ecological control of soil-borne pathogens, the influence of pesticides on soil organisms, the biochemistry of pesticide and pollution decompo sition in soil, microbial aspects of soil pollution, the composition of soil populations, modelling of biological processes in soil systems, the biochemical activities of soil organisms, soil enzymes and the interactions of soil organisms with plants and the effects of tillage on soil organisms and soil biochemistry.

Soil Biology & Biochemistry is abstracted in Soil Science Alert, the free alerting service from Elsevier Science for authors and researchers active in soil science.

Audience
Soil biologists, biochemists, plant scientists, agricultural scientists, environmental scientists, earth scientists, botanists, ecologists and entomologists.

Silicon Chemistry (2002, Volume 1)
【内容简介】
The scope of the journal includes research incorporating the element silicon in the following subject areas: synthetic chemistry (organic, inorganic and organometallic), macromolecular chemistry and engineering, biochemistry, surface science, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, theoretical chemistry, sol-gel science, interfacial modification, adhesion, coatings science and engineering, materials science and engineering. The journal is committed to maintaining a high level of quality in accepted papers and review articles. The journal will publish original research on all aspects of science and engineering, where silicon plays a significant part. Manuscripts that offer innovative concepts, either experimental techniques or observations, related to silicon products (especially silanes, siloxanes or silicones) are of primary interest.
The editors welcome articles, communications and occasional reviews, but only where these have not or will not be published elsewhere, including the World Wide Web. Articles should be complete reports of significant results or conclusions, which focus on some aspect of silicon being present. Communications are preliminary reports (1500-2000 words) of unusually urgent significance and of wider interest. Reviews are critically evaluated surveys of progress in limited areas of silicon science or engineering during the previous 5-10 years, and should contain new information on the subject. The distinguished international editorial board and strict refereeing procedures will ensure that the journal will maintain high scientific standards and a broad international coverage.

Scripta Materialia
【内容简介】
Scripta Materialia, the companion journal to Acta Materialia, is an International journal for the Science of Materials. Its purpose is to provide a medium for the rapid publication of cutting edge short papers which advance the understanding of structural, nanostructured, and functional materials, both crystalline and amorphous, across all materials classes. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that address:
(i) the relationship between the microstructure of materials and their properties, including mechanical (from both the defect and continuum viewpoints), electrical, magnetic and chemical properties;

(ii) the relationship between the microstructure of materials and the thermodynamics, kinetics and mechanisms of processes occurring within solids;

(iii) the synthesis and processing of materials, with emphasis on microstructural mechanisms and control.

(iv) advances in the characterization of the microstructure and properties of materials

Audience
Materials Scientists and Engineers.
