Asian Journal of Control

The Asian Journal of Control publishes papers on original theoretical and experimental research and developments in the areas of control, involving all facets of control theory and its application. The Journal aims to be a key interface between control communities within the Asian Pacific region and throughout the world. – Publisher’s blurb.

Polymer Science, Series D, Glues and Sealing Materials

The journal publishes both theoretical and applied articles devoted to the operational properties of glues, sealing materials, binding agents, and compounds; modern technologies of gluing and sealing; equipment and facilities used in various manufactures; methods of laboratory, development, and service testing. – Publisher’s blurb.

Dekker Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2nd ed.

Placing specialists at the forefront of the nanoscience revolution, this reference identifies current challenges and development paths sure to influence fields ranging from materials and surface science, chemistry, and biomedicine to computer technology, information processing, and mechanical, optical, and electrical engineering-examining the design, application, and utilization of devices, techniques, and technologies critical to research at atomic, molecular, and macromolecular levels ranging from 1-100 nanometers. -Publisher’s blurb.

IEEE Transactions on Haptics

IEEE Transactions on Haptics will address the science, technology and applications associated with information acquisition and object manipulation through touch. Haptic interactions relevant to this journal include all aspects of manual exploration and manipulation by humans, machines and interactions between the two, performed in real, virtual, teleoperated or networked environments. – Publisher’s blurb.
