Regarding Journals and the Review Process

Submitted by John E. Dolbow on

I thought it might be useful to the iMechanica community to write something about the review process in scientific journals.  For full disclosure, I am one of the co-editors of the Elsevier journal Finite Elements in Analysis and Design.  Indeed, it is precisely that editorship which informs the content of this blog post.  

retirement age or discrimination? Nature speaks of "sticking" around, but in europe we have new laws

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on

In January 2011, the UK government announced its intention to stop
compulsory retirement for people aged 65, despite criticism of the move
by employers’ groups. Campaigners against age discrimination and unions
welcomed the change. However, official guidance makes it clear that
employers will be able to dimiss staff no longer capable of carrying out
their work. Official figures show more than two thirds of British
employers have already eliminated fixed retirement ages.

Hello all, I am having problem with one of our lens doublets getting decemented. we have been cementing this lens for many years and we did not do anything different. Recentely we start seeing this lens decementing. we use NO61 and NO65 (UV curing). Any help of how to prevent this problem from happening again will be very much appreciated.
