Combustion Theory and Modelling is devoted to the application of mathematical modelling, numerical simulation and experimental techniques to the study of combustion. Experimental studies that are published in the Journal should be closely related to theoretical issues, by highlighting fundamental theoretical questions or by providing a sound basis for comparison with theory. Articles can cover a wide range of topics, such as: premixed laminar flames, laminar diffusion flames, turbulent combustion, fires, chemical kinetics, pollutant formation, microgravity, materials synthesis, vapour deposition, catalysis, droplet and spray combustion, detonation dynamics, thermal explosions, ignition, energetic materials and propellants, burners and engine combustion. A wide range of mathematical methods may also be used, including large scale numerical simulation, hybrid computational schemes, front tracking, adaptive mesh refinement, optimized parallel computation, asymptotic methods and singular perturbation techniques, bifurcation theory, optimization methods, dynamical systems theory, cellular automata and discrete methods and probabilistic and statistical methods.All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

The mission of the journal is to publish high quality work from experimental, theoretical, and computational investigations on the fundamentals of combustion phenomena and closely allied matters. While submissions in all pertinent areas are welcomed, past and recent focus of the journal has been on:Development and validation of reaction kinetics, and reduction of reaction mechanisms and modeling of combustion systems, including:Conventional, alternative, surrogate fuelsPollutants, particulate and aerosol formation and abatementHeterogeneous processesExperimental, theoretical, and computational studies of laminar and turbulent combustion phenomena, including:Premixed and non-premixed flamesIgnition, extinctionFlame propagationFlame structureInstabilities and swirlFlame spreadMulti-phase reactantsAdvances in diagnostic and computational methods in combustion, including:Measurement and simulation of scalar and vector propertiesNovel techniques and state-of-the art applicationsFundamental investigations of combustion technologies and systems, including:Internal combustion enginesGas turbinesSmall- and large-scale stationary combustion and power generationCatalytic combustionCombustion synthesisCombustion under extreme conditionsNew concepts

The journal Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves is one of the few worldwide publications of results obtained in research in physics and chemistry of combustion of substances in various phase states, detonation processes, obtaining new materials in combustion waves, shock waves, and detonation waves, explosive welding, response of materials and structures to dynamic loading, high-velocity impact, and powder compaction. Structural and chemical transformations of matter in shock and detonation waves and related phenomena are considered. Papers on the development of analytical and numerical models of phenomena under study are also published in the journal. A specific feature of the journal is the wide scope of combustion and explosion topics: from initiation of combustion in gases to the response of materials to shock loading, from computer-aided modeling of detonation of powerful high explosives to obtaining superconducting materials under shock compression. Reviews are also published in addition to regular p

‘The Comic is merely an umbrella under which all other disciplines can be accommodated.’

Comedy Studies reflects the increasingly cross-disciplinary and international nature of studies into comedy and documents exciting and innovative research into this hitherto under-represented field. Comedy Studies is the only globally accessible journal that provides a forum for research in comedy studies, and its relation to other disciplines: theatre/ performance, film, TV, art, music, philosophy, sociology, psychology, media, science, cultural studies, gender studies, science and history are all discussed in the journal’s research. Comedy Studies is a dynamic, innovative academic journal, that discusses the all aspects of comedy and we are always looking for new contributors and collaborators.

Comedy Studies publishes full length articles (up to 6,000 words) and will always consider contributions from Ph.D. candidates to help increase their research profiles. The journal also publishes interviews, reviews, original art work, photography and illustrations. We will also consider guest editors, special editions of conference papers and conference ideas.

All articles in Comedy Studies have undergone rigorous peer review, based on anonymised refereeing by two anonymous referees. Instructions for Authors can be found here. 

The journal is intended for the publication of original research articles on all aspects in mathematics.

Comments on Inorganic Chemistry is intended as a vehicle for concisely and authoritatively written critical discussions of important developments in inorganic chemistry. Through the medium of the 'Comments' the editors hope to make it easy and enticing for the specialist in a given area of inorganic chemistry - synthesis, structure, spectroscopy, kinetics and mechanisms, theory - to write about their interests. Younger inorganic chemists, in particular, whose research is not widely known, are encouraged to describe their work in 'Comments'. Since a 'Comment' is an expert guide to the important progress in individual fields, articles from senior authors in any science field, with personal points of view appropriate to inorganic chemistry, are welcome. Reviews of topics important to the advancement of inorganic chemistry are especially solicited. From time to time, comments on topical conferences may be included. While all contributions are solicited by the editors, potential authors are encouraged to write the editors or a member of the Editorial Board of their interest in doing an article. The articles are reviewed by experts and members of the Editorial Board for their quality and appropriateness.

Since 1992 Common Knowledge has opened lines of communication among schools of thought in the academy, as well as between the academy and the community of thoughtful people outside its walls. Common Knowledge has formed a new intellectual model, one based on conversation and cooperation rather than on metaphors (adopted from war and sports) of "sides" that one must "take." The pages of Common Knowledge regularly challenge the ways we think about scholarship and its relevance to humanity.
