I submitted a manuscript to Crelle's journal about a month ago but never received a confirmation email from the editor whom I emailed the manuscript. I sent him/her another email asking about the status of paper and never heard back. I was wondering if that is a common and that is how it works with them.
What steps does a manuscript typically go through from submission to publication (or rejection) in a typical journal? How are these steps referred to, in particular by editorial systems, and how long do they each typically take?  Note that this question is about the typical situation and hence not about:   Journals with an atypical workflow, e.g. those that allow for an instantaneous reviewer–author interaction. Exceptional steps or rare occurrences such as withdrawal or .   This is a canonical question on this topic as per . Due to its nature, it is rather broad and not exemplary for a regular question on this site. Please feel free to improve this question.

Installing two glibc alongside in debian/ubuntu Is it possible to install and use two different glibc versions on the same machine. Where one version is only used to run legacy software, which relies on old glibc binaries?  Is it possible to do that with the aid of the package manager (something like "install this package, and its dependencies, to /opt/old-glibc), instead of managing it dire Export iMessages in human readable form for archival I have a long (several months' worth) iMessage conversation with a contact.  He lost these messages when he re-installed his OS, but I still have the archive.  There is some important information there that we'd like to keep.  Is there a simple way to export this conversation for archival in a human readable form, and also keep any images?  I can select parts of the conversation, copy it to the clipboard and paste it into a rich text document, but this discards all images.  I'm looking for a way that keeps the images.  Note: I use iMessage on OS X only, not iOS.  (Ideally I'd also like to export all non-image file attachments, but I'm not expecting that this will be possible.) I was writing a program in C++ to find all solutions of ab = c, where a, b and c together use all the digits 0-9 exactly once. The program looped over values of a and b, and it ran a digit-counting routine each time on a, b and ab to check if the digits condition was satisfied.  However, spurious solutions can be generated when ab overflows the integer limit. I ended up checking for this using code like:  unsigned long b, c, c_test; ... c_test=c*b;         // Possible overflow if (c_test/b != c) {/* There has been an overflow*/} else c=c_test;      // No overflow   Is there a better way of testing for overflow? I know that some chips have an internal flag that is set when overflow occurs, but I've never seen it accessed through C or C++.    Beware that signed int overflow is undefined behaviour in C and C++, and thus you have to detect it without actually causing it. For signed int overflow before addition, see . I have a website with software applications. Is it good for SEO to choose one keyword rich domain name for each of our software products or should we stick to a single domain?  From a user's perspective I think it would be easier to remember a domain that is keyword rich as the user will instantly know what this product is for.  But I have read articles that the latest trend in SEO is to stick to one domain for all of your products and invest on this single domain website.  Is that true? What do you advise? Should I register a separate domain for each of our products or should I use only one single domain?  Should I do a 301 redirect with a .htaccess to a single domain? And what about the sitemaps? Should I register all sites in Google Webmaster Tools and post a separate sitemap for each one of them? should my main site sitemap include all pages or should separate domains have their own sitemaps? How do I fix my USB drive to get its original 8GB size back? My USB drive used to be originally 8GB when I bought it.  I'm trying to reformatted in Windows 7 by right clicking on the drive and selecting Format.... But the capacity only shows 250MB.  Is there something I can do to get the original size back? Maybe it got partitioned in a weird way?   The  flash drive is a SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8GB. I got it from Wal-Mart but this is the same drive. Software/App for electronic research notebooks I want to keep a research notebook for my computational "experiments". Basically, I should at least be able to write text and attach images like plots.

Trello is good for attaching stuff and organising tasks, but I need a notebook where I attach a plot, write stuff around it, attach another below it. It doesn't have a paper or canvas. Tiddlywiki is a little painful for attaching pics and equations, the file bloats, it seems I am keeping a blog.  What is a good, free electronic notebook tool for research/lab work? Assume that $M$ and $N$ are two finitely generated $R$-modules. Then $\operatorname{Hom}_{R}(M,N)$ is a finitely generated $\mathbb Z$-module and/or $R$-module (in this case, assume that $R$ is commutative)?   Note that $R$ is not Noetherian ring. Is there any counterexample (for any cases)? I was running a Python script that malfunctioned and used sudo to create a file named &gt;.  How can I get rid of this file?  Of course, when I try sudo rm &gt;, I get the error bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline', because it thinks I'm trying to redirect the output of rm.  Its permissions are -rw-r--r--.
