Editorial - Selected papers from the 'Omics: Assembling Systems Biology' Workshop

System-oriented biological research (Systems Biology) is a vibrant field which aims to establish the higher-order principles behind complex multi-cellular processes. This classic theme of the Life Sciences was recently reinforced with a new armamentarium of high-throughput molecular tools. These omics approaches ('omes', greek for 'complete') allow us to now study biological behaviour in unprecedented width and detail. Consequently, Systems Biology is seen to bear the potential for major discoveries in the Life Sciences.     

Selected papers from CEM 2006 [Editorial]

The Sixth International Conference on Computation in Electromagnetics, CEM 2006, was held in Aachen, Germany from April 3-6 2006. The conference committee carefully reviewed all the papers presented and invited authors to submit extended papers for consideration in this Special Issue of IET SMT. These papers have now been through the normal IET review process and are published here. The papers published reflect the diversity and complexity of CEM. Some cover the mathematical foundations of the subject and others are oriented to the important applications area. The issue reflects the high level of interest shown in both the modelling of electrical machines at the conference and the use of finite element methods. There is also interest in optimisation and in techniques for speeding up solvers     

Editorial: Selected papers from SBES '07

This Special Issue contains four extended papers selected from those presented in the 21st Brazilian Symposium in Software Engineering (SBES 2007) which took place in Joa?o Pessoa, state of Parai′ba, in the northeast of Brazil. This series of symposia, which is currently in its 23rd edition, is an initiative of the Software Engineering Special Committee (CEES) of the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC). The objective of SBES is to stimulate the exchange of experiences between research groups, disseminate the use of advanced software engineering techniques and tools and promote contact between participants and national and international invited speakers.     

Editorial - Selected papers from NPL's Optical Fibre Measurement Conference (OFMC) 2007

Welcome to this special issue of IET Optoelectronics, the second containing a selection of papers developed from presentations originally given at OFMC. OFMC is a biennial European based conference devoted to the subject of measurements for optical fibres and optoelectronics. The work reported in this issue is drawn from the 8th in the series, OFMC 2007, held at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Teddington UK. Since its inception in 1991 the series of Optical Fibre Measurement Conferences has provided a key forum for disseminating and discussing the results of recent measurement research, thus stimulating further progress in the field.     

Editorial: Selected papers from the Second q-bio Conference on Cellular Information Processing

This special issue consists of 12 original papers that elaborate on work presented at The Second q-bio Conference on Cellular Information Processing, which was held on the campus of St. John?s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, 6-9 August 2008.     

Editorial - Selected papers from the 7th International Conference on Computation in Electromagnetics (CEM 2008)

Editorial Selected papers from the Digital Image Computing Technology and Applications conference 2007 (DICTA 2007)

Digital Image Computing Technology and Applications (DICTA) is the flagship event hosted by the Australian Pattern Recognition Society. Since the inception of DICTA in 1991, the conference has provided a forum for researchers in the area of image analysis and its applications to communicate their findings. DICTA is based in Australia and New Zealand but has attracted increasing interest from other parts of the world. Twenty four percent of the papers submitted to DICTA2007 were from outside Australia and New Zealand, as were all six invited speakers.     

Editorial - selected papers from IEEE radarcon2008, rome

This special issue is based on a selection of the innovative ideas and trends presently growing in the international radar community, as expressed by the contributions presented at the 2008 IEEE Radar Conference (http:// www.radarcon2008.org). This conference is one of a series of radar conferences promoted by the IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society, and has always been held in the United States. For the first time in 2008, the conference was held in Rome Italy, which largely stimulated the participation of European scientists and the conference achieved an extraordinary attendance.     

Editorial: Selected papers inspired by the Semiconductor and Integrated Optoelectronics (SIOE 2008) Conference

It is a pleasure to introduce this special issue of IET Optoelectronics focused on Semiconductor Optoelectronics. A Special Issue on this theme is published in IET Optoelectronics once a year and is linked to the Semiconductor and Integrated Optoelectronics (SIOE) conference held in Cardiff.     

Special issue: Selected papers from the '10th Applications of Advanced Technologies in Transportation' Conference [Editorial]

The importance of transportation to the world's economy has been deeply and fundamentally affected by the development of new generation transportation systems. Systems that are largely based on emerging technologies and that integrate transportation and infrastructure are becoming a critical factor for the efficient and safe transportation of people and goods. As such, technical innovation is an essential step toward improving transportation infrastructures and providing for more efficient transportation operations. It is important for transportation planners and engineers to meet the dynamic challenges of growing demand in modern day transportation. The Applications of Advanced Technologies in Transportation (AATT) Conference series has provided, for over two decades, a unique stage for sharing and exchanging research ideas, engineering practice, and creating synergies between research and practice.

Relationship between international collaboration papers and their citations from an economic perspective

This paper analyzes the relationship among international collaboration, number of papers and number of citations from an economic perspective. It analyzes the number of international collaboration papers and their citations according to different international economic collaboration types, the number of countries at different economic levels, and the economic situations of first or corresponding authors. This study analyzes international collaboration papers listed in Web of Science from 2011 to 2015, published in the field of Public, Environmental and Occupational Health. According to different international collaboration types, results show that the subset of international collaboration with the same economic level accounts for the highest percentage, especially the type of H&H, and there are significant differences in average citations among different collaboration types, the type of H&M&L has the highest value (11.21?±?15.72). According to the number of countries at different economic levels, results show that papers published by ≥?3 countries account for the highest percentage most of the time in different collaboration types. In general, there are positive correlations between the number of countries and citations, but there are no significant differences according to the number of low income countries in different types except H&M&L. According to economic situations of first or corresponding authors, results show that papers initiated by high income countries always account for the highest percentage over past 5 years, and there are positive correlations between the economic situations of first or corresponding authors and citations in different types except H&M. (H: high income countries, M: middle income countries, L: low income countries).
