Famine and Mass Violence

Sep 21, 2008 - Sep 23, 2008,
Youngstown State University, Youngstown, Ohio United States

Famine and mass violence frequently go hand in hand. Unfortunately, scholars of famine and scholars of mass violence often deal with different questions resulting in a wide lacuna in research and the methodology for analyzing connections between famines and violence. Famine specialists mostly deal with socioeconomic questions, with people as economic subjects, with the working of markets and speculation, food distribution, or deficiencies of state intervention. Entangled in the availability vs. entitlement debate, they care less for power relationships or war-related situations, although famines often occur during wartime or civil conflict. Genocide experts view certain famines as state-organized. Such scholars are interested in motivations of violence, lack of relief efforts, escape prevention, or special policies victimizing refugees. They may miss out on the participatory dimension of famines: social and economic networks, profiteering, or family relations. This conference seeks to bring together both famine experts and genocide specialists to engage in a dialogue with
each other, first during the conference and later in a collective volume resulting from the meeting.

3rd International Conference on Tissue Engineering

Sixth National Conference on Quality Health Care for Culturally Diverse Populations

Sep 21, 2008 - Sep 24, 2008,
Minneapolis, Minnesota United States

The five conferences held to date (1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006) have played an important role in documenting and motivating progress in this field, and have drawn the interest of several types of audiences. Established experts in cultural competence practice and policy have strongly supported these meetings as an opportunity to share ideas with and lend moral support to each other. Newcomers to the field, especially health care providers, have come to learn more about culturally competent care and to gain practical information to take back to their organizations. And national health policy leaders have been invited to participate to share their points of view, and to be educated about the substance of and enthusiasm behind this movement.

The format of the conference is grounded in workshop sessions that maximize audience participation, complemented by plenary sessions on key national policy issues. This conference seeks to facilitate learning as an ongoing, dynamic and social process, and strives to offer engaging sessions in which diverse participants can form bonds, participate as learners and teachers, and feel integral to the learning process. We believe presenters should make content relevant and meaningful, and offer ways to process information through dialogue, reflection, and application.

Rhode Island Convention Center, Providence, Rhode Island United States

As new sequencing platforms are capable of generating gigabytes of data in a single sequence run - leading to terabytes of data in an experiment; data storage, transfer, and analysis will unquestionably be the rate limiting steps in turning the new sequence data into knowledge. CHI’s Inaugural Next-Generation Sequencing Data Analysis convenes engineers who are developing the sequencing platforms, biological researchers who are designing and running the experiments, biosatiations who are analyzing and interpreting the data, and software developers who are managing and storing the data. Each specialty provides perspectives and must be integrated into a cohesive, comprehensive team to decipher the sequencing data deluge.

Biotechnology: Past, Present & Future

Sep 21, 2008 - Sep 23, 2008,
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cold Spring Harbor, New York United States

Biotechnology has long played a key role in human civilization, for as long as beer has been brewed or bread baked, and throughout the 20th century, bacteria were used for the synthesis of chemicals, for example, amino acids, and antibiotics. But what we think of as the biotechnology industry arose with extraordinary speed in the latter part of the 20th century. The scientific foundation came with the application of recombinant DNA technologies, and there was a remarkable interaction between entrepreneurial academic scientists and venture capitalists. It is not often that a new industry is created and we have the opportunity with biotechnology to study how the industry arose. In this meeting we will hear from participants in those early days and from sociologists and economists who have examined the scientific and business worlds came together.

IEEE Swarm Intelligence Symposium 2008

Sep 21, 2008 - Sep 23, 2008,

Swarm Intelligence (SI) is a computational intelligence technique involving the study of collective behavior in decentralized systems. Such systems are made up by a population of simple individuals interacting locally with one another and with their environment. Although there is typically no centralized control dictating the behavior of the individuals, local interactions among individuals often cause a global pattern to emerge. Examples of systems like this can be found in nature, including ant colonies, animal herding, bacteria foraging, bird flocking, fish schooling, honey bees, and many more.

Love it or hate it, Information Communication Technology (ICT) pervades every aspect of our lives.

“But now is the time to worry about whether we are using …. technology to improve quality, increase access, and enhance the flexibility of learning programs”1.The value of ICT is recognised everywhere. Will ICT be our saviour? Where is ICT taking us or are we taking ICT? How will ICT figure in our educational system? Will it drive it or be driven by it? This conference will take you into the realms of imagining and beyond! Jump on board the tardis and travel through 2008, 2010, and 2015 to a whole new educational ‘cyberspace’ where you will be able to imagine, create and transform the members of your learning community."
