Nuclear Engineering and Design covers the wide range of disciplines involved in the engineering, design, safety and construction of nuclear fission reactors. The Editors welcome papers both on applied and innovative aspects and developments in nuclear science and technology.Fundamentals of Reactor Design include:• Thermal-Hydraulics and Core Physics• Safety Analysis, Risk Assessment (PSA)• Structural and Mechanical Engineering• Materials Science• Fuel Behavior and Design• Structural Plant Design• Engineering of Reactor Components• ExperimentsAspects beyond fundamentals of Reactor Design covered:• Accident Mitigation Measures• Reactor Control Systems• Licensing Issues• Safeguard Engineering• Economy of Plants• Reprocessing / Waste Disposal• Applications of Nuclear Energy• Maintenance• DecommissioningPapers on new reactor ideas and developments (Generation IV reactors) such as inherently safe modular HTRs, High Performance LWRs/HWRs and LMFBs/GFR will be considered; Actinide Burners, Accelerator Driven Systems, Energy Amplifiers and other special designs of power and research reactors and their applications are also encouraged.

Nuclear Technology & Radiation Protection is an international scientific journal covering the wide range of disciplines involved in nuclear science and technology as well as in the field of radiation protection. The journal is open for scientific papers, short papers, review articles, and technical papers dealing with nuclear power, research reactors, accelerators, nuclear materials, waste management, radiation measurements, and environmental problems. However, basic reactor physics and design, particle and radiation transport theory, and development of numerical methods and codes will also be important aspects of the editorial policy.Nuclear Technology & Radiation Protection is an open access journal included in ISI Web of Knowledge - Web of Science, Science citation index expanded - SCI, and Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition. The journal is available for full download at National Library of Serbia - doiSerbia, Directory of open access journals - DOAJ, and Portal of open access e-journals - Open J-Gate.

The project on independent on-line library of Blackhorse Scientific Publishers has been intorduced as early as in 1999 when Blackhorse became an independent publishing house. During previous Springer time, several efforts was made to create the up-to-date scalable and relayable database. However, on that time no such similar on-line library existed in Poland. So, the new venture to offer the full text database containing all manuscripts published at Blackhorse\'s journals started in June 1999. Just amonths thereafter, Blackhorse became a registrant of The Digital Object Identifier Foundadtion, Inc. (Washington, DC) and started to collect the manuscripts accordant to the DOI standards. The special numbering system providing and assuring the full control over several manuscripts and unifing them was developed and introduced into the standarized company's workflow.

Published monthly, this journal addresses all aspects of the methodology for the numerical solution of problems in heat and mass transfer as well as fluid flow. The journal's scope also encompasses modeling of complex physical phenomena that serves as a foundation for attaining numerical solutions, and includes numerical or experimental results that support methodology development. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Oceanologia, the official journal of the http://www.iopan.gda.pl/kbm/en/Committee of Marine Research and the http://www.iopan.gda.pl/index.htmlInstitute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, is an international journal that publishes results of original research in the field of marine sciences with emphasis on the European seas. Manuscripts contributing, but not limited, to the understanding of properties and processes in the marine environment in the aspect of basic sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, ecology and geochemistry will be considered for publication. Special attention will be given to papers devoted to phenomena occurring in the marine environment in the zones characterized by:
• gradients of properties (salinity, red-ox, temperature, light field, others),
• phases boundaries both abiotic and biotic/abiotic (aqueous/solid, aqueous/gaseous, biotic/solid and biotic/aqueous),
• marine-land boundary.

We also encourage the submission of manuscripts dealing with multidisciplinary approaches to the investigated phenomena, as well as those devoted to manifestations of contemporary global issues e.g. climate warming and other global change-related phenomena, and/or describing possible and actual adaptations to threats brought by these changes. Preference will be given to manuscripts covering innovative research of global significance over those devoted to strictly local issues, and to papers contributing to the marine ecosystem functioning over strictly descriptive ones.

Oceanologia also publishes special and thematic issues dedicated to specific subject areas and events. Prospective Guest Editors of potential special issues must contact the Editor-in-Chief first to check the subject and scope of the special issue.

The issues 53(2011)8211;56(2014) were digitalized thanks to the financial support of the project Index Plus of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

All issues of the journal Oceanologia published since 2011 are available on ScienceDirect at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00783234, archival issues published before 2011 can be accessed at http://www.iopan.gda.pl/oceanologia/issues.html.

The journal covers disciplines and fields related to oil and gas prospecting, production, processing and utilization as well as that of other energy sources. The articles are either based on the scientific and technical activities of the French Petroleum Institute (IFP) or written by engineers, scientists and technicians from around the world.
