I would like to make a table that contains the numeric values and concatenate those numeric values with the strings.

You cannot combine numbers and strings in same array. You can achieve your goal in multiple ways:
1) Use cell array -
aq1 = { 'phi ','d[mm]','k[D] ','q[m/day] ','v[m/day] '; 1,2,3,4,5 };
aq2 = { 'phi ','d[mm]','k[D] ','q[m/day] ','v[m/day] '; [1 2],[2 3; 4 5],3,4,5 };
2) Use struct - In this case you cannot assign brackets and slashes:
aq1 = struct('phi',1,'dmm',2,'kd',3,'qm',4,'v',6);
aq2 = struct('phi',[1 2 3],'dmm',[2 6 ; 7 0],'kd',zeros(7,8),'qm',4,'v',6);
3) Use Map:
aq1 = containers.Map('KeyType','char','ValueType','double');
aq1('phi') = 1
aq1('d[mm]') = 2
aq1('k[D]') = 3
aq2 = containers.Map('KeyType','char','ValueType','any');
aq2('phi') = [1 2 3]
aq2('d[mm]') = [4 5 ; 6 8];
aq2('k[D]') = 3

How can I include a vector for each string instead of a single scalar value? – Jan 25 '12 at 23:26

If you want a nice looking table like the one in your question, you are probably going to have to use HTML. You can look at this as an example of how to format a table for publishing in MATLAB.
If you're data has some structure to it you can put it in a dataset array, and MATLAB will make it look nicer when you disp() it. See the post Printing Variables to HTML Tables in Published Code.
