© Nicolas Brodu. 2003 The astrolabe is an ancient astronomical computer for solving problemsrelating to time and the position of the sun and stars in the sky.Historians credit the invention of the astrolabe to classical Greece.Brass astrolabes were highly developed in the Islamic world of the 8thcentury and later. chiefly as an aid to navigation and as a way offinding the direction of Mecca. In the Middle Ages it found its wayback to Europe and became the chief navigational instrument until theinvention of the sextant in the 18th century.

Topics covered by ABER include: 183; invaluable thermal comfort in the built environment 183; advanced materials to improve energy efficiency of buildings 183; indoor air quality 183; energy efficient lighting and daylight 183; visual comfort in the built environment 183; thermal and air flow studies in the urban environment 183; passive solar heating of buildings and passive cooling in buildings 183; energy efficient HVAC systems for buildings 183; urban energy systems 183; design and retrofitting of energy efficient buildings 183; use of renewable energies in the built environment 183; natural , mechanical and hybrid ventilation 183; monitoring and measurement techniques in buildings 183; energy rating and classification of buildings 183; intelligent control of buildings 183; building physics 183; environmental impact and sustainability in the building sector 183; legislative and educational aspects for energy efficient buildings.

Advances in Eating Disorders: Theory, Research, & Practice is committed to providing a leading forum dedicated to the study and treatment of eating disorders by publishing high quality articles that offer an integrated perspective to these complex conditions. 
The journal covers all the traditional eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, but also any form of disturbed eating behaviour, across the life span and in all cultural contexts. The specific and unique emphasis of this journal is its focus on combining theory, research and practice. Submissions should draw on at least two of these aspects, but preferably make reference to all three, either through their primary focus, or through the inclusion of a section specifically focusing on the integration. 
The Editors also encourage submission of commentary, debate and personal viewpoints.

Peer Review Integrity

The Journal covers advancement in materials and processes used to manufacture components and parts. Articles accepted for publication will report recent improvements in the properties of materials and development of recent technologies to manufacture components. The Journal will also cover new developments in processing and fabrication technologies of materials of various types including modelling, simulations, and experimental work. Equally, articles reporting innovation in manufacturing processes that reduce waste, enhance component performance, and ensure environmental sustainability will also be considered.

Specifically, the Journal will be interested in receiving manuscript contributions in the following areas:

• Effects of processing parameters on the macro- and micro-properties of all engineering materials.
• Innovations/ Improvements in processing techniques of all types of engineering materials including sustainability.
• The topics of articles may be in one or more of the following areas:
• • Metallic materials and their alloys; composite materials; non-metallic materials; bio-compatible materials; sensor materials.
  • Manufacturing processes such as forming; machining; joining; welding; laser processing; plasma processing; micro- and nano- processing; quality and reliability issues of products & their applications.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and papers should be submitted to saleem.hashmi@dcu.ie.  

Advances in Mental Health: Promotion, Prevention and Early Intervention is a contemporary peer-reviewed journal for advancing promotion, prevention and early intervention approaches to mental health.

The Editors welcome original research articles, literature reviews, journal abstracts and reviews of relevant multimedia products.

---Ranked 2nd out of 66 in Condensed Matter Physics field --- Aims & ScopeAdvances in Physics publishes authoritative critical reviews by experts on topics of interest and importance to condensed matter physicists. It is intended for motivated readers wit

The aims of Advances in Physics: X are to demonstrate:

1. the connectivity of Physics, by which we mean the intellectual relationships between one branch of Physics and another, and
   
2. the pervasiveness of Physics, that is, the influence of Physics across (hence the “X”) the boundaries into other disciplines, including chemistry, materials science, engineering, biology and medicine.

Thus the journal will promote the centrality of Physics and physical measurement to modern science and technology, defending the discipline and revealing both its richness and its impact.

The aims of “APX” will be achieved by the Open Access, electronic publication of concise review articles, commissioned from leading experts and made available freely throughout the world.

Advances in Physics: X draws upon the rich heritage of Advances in Physics, founded by Sir Nevill Mott in 1952 as a spin-off from the Philosophical Magazine, which was itself established in 1798 and has been published by Taylor & Francis since 1822.

High-quality reports on fundamental and applied topics in this important and rapidly expanding field are suitable. Particularly appropriate subjects are particle motion in laminar or turbulent fluids; light scattering phenomena, visibility, and atmospheric optics; electrical charging and precipitation; coagulation, size distribution, and aerosol dynamics; evaporation and condensation; cohesion and adhesion; diffusion; aerosol formation in flames; nucleation phenomena; impaction; cyclone collectors and centrifuges; electrostatic precipitators; aerosol filtration; aerosol generation methods; sampling of airborne particles; measurement of physical and chemical properties; effects of aerosols on climate and other atmospheric processes; particle deposition in respiratory systems; health effects; radioactive aerosols; aerosol emissions from industrial processes; pollution control; and aerosols in the workplace.The Editors also encourage the submission of critical reviews of recent research and historical reviews of important aerosol topics. Announcements and reports of the American Association for Aerosol Research and other pertinent meetings will be published whenever possible, as will reviews of relevant books and computer software.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Africa Education Review has been in existence since 1972 under the name Educare. For many years it served as the in-house publication vehicle for members of staff in the Faculty of Education at the University of South Africa (Unisa). A decision was taken in 2003 that the journal should change in status from being an in-house journal to one that is housed in the Faculty of Education. The Journal has now become a publication outlet for academics nationally and internationally and has its home at the University of South Africa, South Africa. The Journal has been published biannually but will be published triennially as from 2011. Aims and ScopeAfrica Education Review is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal that seeks the submission of unpublished articles on current educational issues. It encourages debate on theory, policy and practice on a wide range of topics that represent a variety of disciplines, interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and transdisciplinary interests on international and global scale. The journal therefore welcomes contributions from associated disciplines including sociology, psychology and economics.
