General Interest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JOURNAL SPOTLIGHT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Journal of Advanced Dielectrics (JAD) http://www.worldscinet.com/jad ***Aims & Scope*** The Journal of Advanced Dielectrics is an international peer-reviewed journal for original contributions on the understanding and applications of dielectrics in modern electronic devices and systems. The journal seeks to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the rapid communication of novel research of high quality in, but not limited to, the following topics: * Fundamentals of dielectrics (ab initio or first-principles calculations, density functional theory, phenomenological approaches). * Polarization and related phenomena (spontaneous polarization, domain structure, polarization reversal). * Dielectric relaxation (universal relaxation law, relaxor ferroelectrics, giant permittivity, flexoelectric effect). * Ferroelectric materials and devices (single crystals and ceramics). * Thin/thick films and devices (ferroelectric memory devices, capacitors). * Piezoelectric materials and applications (lead-based piezo-ceramics and crystals, lead-free piezoelectrics). * Pyroelectric materials and devices * Multiferroics (single phase multiferroics, composite ferromagnetic ferroelectric materials). * Electrooptic and photonic materials. * Energy harvesting and storage materials (polymer, composite, super-capacitor). * Phase transitions and structural characterizations. * Microwave and milimeterwave dielectrics. * Nanostructure, size effects and characterizations. * Engineering dielectrics for high voltage applications (insulation, electrical breakdown). * Modeling (microstructure evolution and microstructure-property relationships, multiscale modeling of dielectrics). International Journal of PIXE (IJPIXE) http://www.worldscinet.com/ijpixe ***Aims & Scope*** International Journal of PIXE is a quarterly journal covering the latest developments in the various aspects of particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE), including the fundamentals of this process, its applications and the techniques employed in different kinds of applications. It seeks to enhance communication between basic and applied scientists by compiling relevant research papers and review articles which would otherwise be widely dispersed in a number of specialized journals that cover PIXE only as one of the related subjects. The scope of the journal encompasses the following: * Fundamental Aspects Ion-atom, electron-atom and photon-atom collisions; ionization; X-ray and Auger electron production; solid state effect; excitation-assisted chemical reactions. * Techniques Microbeam and external-beam techniques; data handling; RBS; synchrotron radiation; sample preparation. * Applications Biomedical, pharmaceutical, biological, archaeological, geological, environmental, high-technological and industrial applications. ***Sample Issue*** Vol. 18, Nos. 1-2 (2008) Proceedings of the 24th Symposium on PIXE in Japan (The 15th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society for Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) Research), Tokyo, 10¡§C12 September 2007 Guest Editor: S.
