	PHYSICA A: STATISTICAL MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS Recognized by the European Physical Society Honorary Editor: H.W. Capel See editorial board for all editors information Special Issue Policy Fast publication: Announcing 'Accepted Manuscripts' on ScienceDirect Description Physica A publishes research in the field of statistical mechanics and its applications. Statistical mechanics sets out to explain the behaviour of macroscopic systems by studying the statistical properties of their microscopic constituents. Applications of the techniques of statistical mechanics are widespread, and include applications to physical systems such as solids, liquids and gases; applications to chemical and biological systems (colloids, interfaces, complex fluids, polymers and biopolymers, cell physics); and other interdisciplinary applications to for instance biological, economical and sociological systems. Specific subfields covered by the journal are: • Random systems • Fluids, granular and soft matter • Dynamical processes • Fundamental and general methods • Models • Biological, ecological and evolutionary systems • Econophysics • Other Interdisciplinary applications • Other Complex systems • Networks • Systems Biology • Classical and quantum information Bibliographic details ISSN: 0378-4371 Imprint: NORTH-HOLLAND Commenced publication 1975 Subscriptions for the year 2009, Volume 388, 24 issues Also available as part of a Full Set and Combined Subscription Price and Ordering Institutional online access: ScienceDirect eSelect For purchase of online access to this journal on ScienceDirect.
