Biological Theory
The comments at Physics World this month contain a link to the work of Nottale et al, on fractal spacetime with scale relativity. Quoting a recent paper:
Ref: Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology 97 (2008) 79–114
[Nottale] has suggested that the observation scale, i.e., the space and time resolution at which a system is observed or experimented, should also be considered as characterizing the state of reference systems. It is an experimental fact known since Greek philosophers that the scale of a system can be defined only in a relativeTo be honest, the mathematics seems rather dull, but the thing to note is that this paper is published:
way: only scale ratios do have a physical meaning, never absolute scales.

Now I know where to submit papers!
Bad girl!
Hey, I can submit to arXiv/gen-ph now. Maybe the pressure from viXar is having an effect, or maybe anyone can load papers there any time (though they only get a paper per day, about).
One of the editors of that journal seems to share an interest in "Scale Relative Biology" with Nottale so I suppose he would be favourable.
My number one tip for getting published in a journal is to find a convincing way to cite the editors' work. Number two is cite anyone likely to referee and number three is liberally cite other papers in the journal.
Carl, well done for getting submission rights to gen-ph. Does that make you an endorser or are endorsers not really needed after all? I would be surprised if they let anyone publish in gen-ph but maybe I should try again.
Phil: No, I'm not an endorser. It might be that once you've got one successful paper on gen-ph, you're considered adequate for putting more.
Or is the system that once you get an endorsement for, say, gr-qc and you have a post that doesn't get moderated away on that, then you can keep putting papers up on that subject. And become an endorser after 4 papers or whatever.
