XXIX International Congress of Psychology 2008: Abstracts Special Issue availableThe International Journal of Psychology (IJP) is the journal of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) and is published under the auspices of the Union. IJP seeks to support the IUPsyS in fostering the development of international psychological science. It aims to strengthen the dialog within psychology around the world and to facilitate communication among different areas of psychology and among psychologists from different cultural backgrounds. IJP is the outlet for empirical basic and applied studies and for reviews that either (a) incorporate perspectives from different areas or domains within psychology or across different disciplines, (b) test the culture-dependent validity of psychological theories, or (c) integrate literature from different regions in the world. IJP does not publish technical articles, validations of questionnaires and tests, or clinical case studies. Regular issues include two types of articles: empirical articles and review articles. Empirical articles report data from single or multiple studies in one of the major fields of scientific psychology. Review articles provide overviews of the international literature on a particular topic; authors are especially encouraged to include in their review relevant publications from regions of the world not typically cited and/or not published in English. Special topical issues or sections are also published two or three times a year. All articles include a detailed abstract in English, French and Spanish. Peer Review Integrity All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editorscreening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.The International Platform for PsychologistsAssociate Editors: M. Bullock (USA) and P.L.-J. Ritchie (Canada)Many of IJP's issues include a second section, the International Platform for Psychologists, which provides an opportunity to exchange news and opinions on psychology as an academic and applied profession. This section also contains information about the IUPsyS, about major international meetings, and about the activities of the National Psychological Societies. Finally it offers an opportunity to express opinions and to discuss internationally significant psychological issues. There is also a United Nations section with the International Platform for Psychologists.

In the last decade, a wide range of smart materials and structures have been developed for aerospace, transportation, and civil engineering applications. Furthermore, there is an increased tendency to integrate smart materials with nanotechnology to develop novel materials or structures for the applications in sensors, actuators, biomaterials, multifunctional materials, structural health monitoring, etc. The combination of smart materials and nanotechnology provides many advantages, realizes novel designs that could not be achieved in traditional engineering, and also offers greater opportunities as well as challenges.The central aim of International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials is to publish original results, critical reviews, technical discussion and book reviews related to this compelling research field: smart and nano materials, and their applications. We believe that the papers published in this journal will provide cutting edge information and instructive research guidance, encouraging more scientists to make their contribution to this dynamic research field. The topics of this journal cover the application of smart and nanomaterials in the following fields:1) Smart materials and structures 2) Nano and multifunctional materials 3) Autonomous materials4) Nanocomposites5) Bio-inspired materials and structures6) Sensors and actuators 7) Structural health monitoring8) Energy harvesting9) Self-healing and self-assembly.

Revista de Psicología Social es una publicación de artículos originales, básicamente de investigación empírica y excepcionalmente de revisiones teóricas, de todas las áreas de la Psicología Social.

Revista de Psicología Social va dirigida a investigadores y profesionales de la Psicología Social y de otras áreas de conocimiento y disciplinas relacionadas.

The editor takes the bulk of the financial risks of publishing. The profits go mainly to the broadcaster and distributor of books, which are responsible, to canvass the booksellers and take their orders as well as routing the books to bookstores, to fill orders taken. These operations cost the publisher between 50 and 60% of turnover generated by the book. The rest of sales goes to the author (about 10% share of this figure much lower, around 6% for comic books, and can reach 20% or more for best sellers) and the publisher, who can pay, in addition to its employees (editorial assistants, press officers, charged with manufacture, designer, etc..), the entire work of the book (printers, proofreaders, freelance photographers, possibly librarians, etc.. ). The publisher who coordinates the course of the "book chain" and, often, which also establishes the financial plan incorporating the expected costs and expected gains, as in any business.

International Journal of Wavelets, Multiresolution and Information Processing (IJWMIP) considers the current state-of-the-art theories of wavelet analysis, multiresolution and information processing as well as their applications. This journal aims at publishing papers in both the theories and applications, concentrating on the practical applications of the wavelets, multiresolution and information processing to all areas in science and engineering.The IJWMIP publishes articles of four primary types:1. Original research papers,2. Correspondences,3. Overviews and summaries,4. Descriptions of systems and software packages.Papers are published under two categories, namely: regular papers and short papers (or correspondence). Regular papers usually report results of original research, or may be a well-focused survey that puts recent progress into a broader perspective and accurately assesses limits of existing theories. Short papers are similar to the regular papers, describe original work but are usually not as in-depth and as detailed as the regular papers.The publication of special issues on active topics is encouraged. Colour reproductions of pictures and schematics are provided, if necessary. All published articles are made available to the major indexing/abstracting services.Submissions in all areas related to the theories and applications of wavelets, multiresolution and information processing are welcome.

The International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT) provides a forum for the discussion of all aspects of tools supporting the development of computer systems. It offers, above all, a tool-oriented link between academic research and industrial practice.

Tool support for the development of reliable and correct computer systems is of growing importance, and a wealth of design methodologies, algorithms, and associated tools have been developed in different areas of computer science. However, each area has its own culture and terminology, preventing researchers from taking advantage of the results obtained by colleagues in other fields. Tool builders are often unaware of the work done by others, and thus unable to apply it. The situation is even more critical when considering the transfer of new technology into industrial practice.

STTT addresses this situation by (1) publishing accessible papers that introduce researchers and practitioners to state-of-the-art tools and techniques and (2) channeling comments, queries, and feedback about tools and papers in the Online Forum with highlights published electronically.

STTT focuses on three major technical themes:

1. Construction and analysis issues: These involve hierarchical and compositional approaches: syntax-oriented vs. semantic methods: synthesis vs. verification: formal support of the entire system life cycle, including requirements capture, design, implementation, verification, testing maintenance, evolution: and analysis of non-functional aspects of system behavior, such as real-time, probability, and efficiency.2. Practicality issues: These address performance, genericity, and usability of tools: case studies and experience reports: and industrial use and feedback.3. Generic tool issues: These include paradigms (fully automated vs. interactive approaches): design issues (modularity, efficiency, portability, integrability, reusab, ility): automatic support (tool generators, integrators, and interface builders): and user interfaces (graphics, Web forms, retrieval).

STTT comprises Regular Papers, Special Sections in the form of Special Issues or Thematic Sections, the Formal Methods Letters (FML) with its own Editorial Sub-board, an Opinion Corner with Position Papers and Reviews, as well as an Online Forum for more instantaneous discussion. All these kinds of contributions are handled via the STTT online service http://sttt.cs.tu-dortmund.de/sttt-regular/servlet/Conference.

Due to STTT's emphasis on technology transfer, we encourage an illustrative, example-driven presentation style that focuses on the underlying themes. Technical material and detailed proofs that are not necessary for the comprehension of the essence and the impact of the contributions should be replaced by adequate referencing of other publications or be provided separately in an online appendix. This way the journal provides a fast and intuitive entry into new material and new themes, and, at the same time, the online appendix gives experts easy access to the related technical or theoretical details. These include proofs, definitions of complicated underlying calculi, and discussions of related theories, as well as other information concerning implementation issues, user documentation, benchmarking information, and raw experimental data, which go beyond the general interest.

This review journal provides the most current information on basic and translational research in immunology and related fields. In addition to invited reviews, the journal accepts for publication articles and editorials on relevant topics proposed by contributors. Each issue of International Reviews of Immunology contains both solicited and unsolicited review articles, editorials, and 'In-this-Issue' highlights. The journal also hosts reviews that position the authors' original work relative to advances in a given field, bridging the gap between annual reviews and the original research articles.This review series is relevant to all immunologists, molecular biologists, microbiologists, translational scientists, industry researchers, and physicians who work in basic and clinical immunology, inflammatory and allergic diseases, vaccines, and additional topics relevant to medical research and drug development that connect immunology to disciplines such as oncology, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders.Covered in International Reviews of Immunology:1) Basic and developmental immunology (innate and adaptive immunity; inflammation; and tumor and microbial immunology);2) Clinical research (mechanisms of disease in man pertaining to infectious diseases, autoimmunity, allergy, oncology / immunology); and3) Translational research (relevant to biomarkers, diagnostics, vaccines, and drug development).The editors' intent is that this journal provide the most recent and relevant information, hence the submissions are being reviewed by members of the editorial team and / or experts in the field; yet the turnaround time is short, in order to insure that the reviews contain the latest data. An international board of editors makes sure that the material presented is as broad as possible, both in terms of the geographic distribution of contributors and the range of interests represented.Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/page/iri/Description.
