Dear Colleagues:The inaugural issue of International Journal of Applied Mechanics (IJAM) is now available on IJAM's website and all papers can be downloaded freely. IJAM website: http://www.worldscinet.com/ijam/ijam.shtml Regards

World Scientific is proud to announce the launch of a new online submission system, Editorial Manager (EM), for International Journal of Applied Mechanics (IJAM). One of the industry standard systems used by major academic publishers, EM provides a full online solution for manuscript submission, peer-review, and tracking.

On behalf of Imperial College Press, World Scientific Publishing Co. (Singapore) and the International Journal of Applied Mechanics (IJAM), I would like to invite you to submit an article for our forthcoming journal, which will be launched in March 2009.  Given your expertise in Mechanics, your contribution to the inaugural issues of IJAM would be most desirable in our effort to make IJAM a leading journal in its subject area.

Since Dec. 2006, Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) has set up a biophysics research team that comprises research scientists in the fields of biophysics, solid mechanics and fluid mechanics, and has kicked off the "Computational Cancer Mechanics" project.

Snoring is defined as sounds made by vibrations in the soft palate and their adjacent tissues during sleep. Heavy snoring can result in sleep-related upper airway narrowing, which leads to respiratory flow limitation and increased respiratory effort. If untreated, heavy snoring may be complicated by excessive daytime sleepiness. Hence, snoring has received a great deal of clinical attention in recent years.
