    JOURNAL OF COMPUTER METHODS IN BIOMECHANICS
    AND BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
    =============================================

    The first issue of this new journal, edited by John Middleton
    (University of Wales Swansea, UK) and Nigel Shrive (University of
    Calgary, Canada) has recently been published.

    Editorial Board: S.Arnoczky, J.M.Crolet, J.H. Heegaard, S.J.
    Hollister, R. Huiskes, M.L.Jones, I.Knets, A. McCulloch, A. Natali, C.
    Oomens, T.M.Peters, B.R.Simon, R.L.Spilker, G.Steven, R.Summers,
    K.Tanne, D.Taylor, A. Toni.

    Contents of the first issue:
    ------------------------------

    * A Numerical Simulation of the Diffusion of Near Infrared Light Through
    Brain Tissue: N.P. Weatherill and J. West

    * Quantification of Bone Microarchitecture with the Structure Model
    Index: Tor Hildebrand and Peter Ruegsegger

    * Mixed and Penalty Finite Element Methods for the Nonlinear Behaviour of
    Biphasic Soft Tissues in Finite Deformation: Part 1 - Alternate
    Formulations: E. Almeida and R.L. Spilker

    * Adaption Models of Anisotropic Bone:
    A. Terrier, R.L. Rakotomanana, R.N. Ramaniraka and P.F. Leyvraz

    * Strain Concentrations Surrounding an Ellipsoid Model of Lacunae and
    Osteocytes: B.R. McCreadie and S.J. Hollister

    If you are interested in submitting a paper or short communication
    to the journal (see aims and scope below), then please contact the
    journal editors. Also news items and topics for the Journal diary
    are welcome.

    John Middleton - j.middleton@swansea.ac.uk
    Nigel Shrive - shrive@acs.ucalgary.ca

    Alternatively, if you are interested in subscribing to the journal,
    wish to receive a free sample copy, or have any other queries, please
    contact Rebecca Stubbs (rebecca.stubbs@gbhap.com) for further
    information.

    Forthcoming issues will include:
    ---------------------------------

    * Diarthrodial Joints - Kinematic Pairs, Mechanisms or Flexible
    Structures? J.J. O'Connor, T. -W. Lu, J. Feikes and A. Leardini

    * C/C++ Coding for Matrix Pseudo Inverses in Clinical Near Infrared
    Spectroscopy: R.E. Gagnon and A.J. Macnab.

    * Mixed and Penalty Finite Element Models for the Nonlinear Behaviour
    of Biphasic Soft tissues in finite Deformation: Part 2 - Nonlinear
    Examples: E. Almeida and R. L. Spilker

    Aims and Scope of the Journal
    -----------------------------

    The prime aims of the journal are to provide a means of communicating
    the advances and innovations being made in the areas of biomechanics
    and biomedical engineering and to stimulate interest in the
    continually emerging computer based technologies which are being
    applied in these multidisciplinary subjects. The journal will also
    provide a focus on the importance of integrating the disciplines of
    engineering with medical technology and clinical expertise. Suggested
    topics are mechanical response of bone and bone/tissue/implant
    analysis, modelling of biomaterials, material identification, human
    body impact, computer-assisted surgery, surgical simulation, computer
    animation and medical imaging. Dental mechanics, biofluids,
    cardiovascular mechanics, soft-tissue modelling and joint/ligament
    mechanics are also topics of primary importance.

    Please note that colour plates will be printed free of charge,
    submission on disk is welcome and also author-supplied animation of
    30 seconds duration can be accepted.
