3rd Congress of European Microbiologists - FEMS 2009

Jun 28, 2009 - Jul 2, 2009,
Göteborg Convention Centre,

The 3rd Congress of European Microbiologists 2009, Held in Sweden - spans topics in microbial physiology, genetics and biology and their application in the areas of health, environment, food and industry. Key topics to be addressed include biodiversity, biofilms, clinical microbiology, eukaryotic microbes, marine microbiology, microbial stress reponse, microbes in alternative energy generation, molecular microbiology & genomics, and virology.

TCLEE 2009

Jun 28, 2009 - Jul 1, 2009,
Marriott Oakland City Center,

The TCLEE 2009 conference will be the seventh in a series of international lifeline earthquake engineering conferences held approximately every four years since 1977.

Over the years, major natural hazards (earthquakes, floods, extreme winds, tsunami) and man-made hazards have caused significant regional disruptions that have often had national and even international impacts. Furthermore, this experience has consistently shown that the disrupted region’s post-event resilience and sustainability will strongly depend on the performance of its lifelines during and after the event.

TCLEE 2009 will address this issue by providing a comprehensive array of technical papers pertinent to current practices, recent innovations, and future directions associated with performance requirements, design, analysis, and planning of lifelines subjected to natural and man-made hazards. In the TCLEE conference tradition, emphasis will be placed on technologies for reducing risks from earthquakes. However, TCLEE 2009 will address these technologies from a unique perspective that includes comparisons with lifeline risk-reduction technologies for other natural hazards and man-made hazards. In particular, the conference will include sessions that focus on:

• Differences and commonalities of technologies used to engineer lifelines to resist earthquakes vs. other natural and man-made hazards, and

• How engineering and risk-reduction technologies for each of these hazard types might benefit from exposure to technologies developed for other hazard types.

Summer School and Conference in Geometric Representation Theory and Extended Affine Lie Algebras

Jun 28, 2009 - Jul 3, 2009,
University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario Canada

Lie algebras and their representations form an extremely rich and important field of mathematics. Geometric representation theory is a relatively new field which has attracted much attention. The general idea is to use geometric methods to construct classically algebraic objects, such as representations of Lie groups and Lie algebras. Geometric techniques have proven to be particularly well suited to establishing positivity and integrality results, as these are often easy consequences of the geometric nature of the objects involved. One is also often able to use the representation theory of objects such as (affine) Kac-Moody algebras to organize and better understand the homology of various interesting spaces appearing in the constructions, like Hilbert schemes, flag varieties, Steinberg varieties, affine Grassmannians, and quiver varieties. In addition to its obvious connections to representation theory, geometric representation theory has been found to be intimately related to combinatorics (crystals, quivers), cluster algebras, mathematical physics, and many other subjects.

Within the theory of Kac-Moody algebras, it is the finite-dimensional and affine Kac-Moody algebras that are most important, not only for Lie theory itself, but also for applications to number theory, soliton equations and mathematical physics. Extended affine Lie algebras are a class of Lie algebras that encompasses these two important types of Kac-Moody algebras, as well as toroidal Lie algebras. Contrary to arbitrary (non-symmetrizable) Kac-Moody algebras, whose general structure is still somewhat mysterious despite three decades of intensive research, the structure theory of extended affine Lie algebras has just recently been worked out.

The summer school will consist of three mini-courses per week for two weeks. These courses will serve as an introduction to geometric representation theory, quantum groups and combinatorial representation theory (i.e. the theory of crystal bases), the structure theory of extended affine Lie algebras and the representation theory of affine and toroidal Lie algebras. They will be aimed at the graduate student / postdoctoral fellow level. Following the summer school there will be a one week conference featuring speakers presenting recent developments in areas related to the material of the summer school.

Stress Proteins In Growth, Development & Disease 2009

Jun 28, 2009 - Jul 3, 2009,
Proctor Academy

All organisms are exposed to harsh conditions. These harsh conditions include environmentally imposed stresses such as elevated temperature and irradiation, physiological stresses such as rapid cellular proliferation, oxidative stresses due to metabolic reactions, and pathophysiological stresses such as pharmacological agents, infection, and inflammation. Even normal developmental or nutritional changes exert stresses as systems temporarily depart from and try to re-establish homeostasis. If unmitigated, stress can lead to protein misfolding and aggregation, and cell death. Recent studies suggest that the ability to sense and respond to stress is critical for normal cell growth and development, and helps protect against diseases that include cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease (e.g., diabetes) and liver disease, and protein folding diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and prion-based disease. Studies in model systems have helped establish these principles and suggest a correlation between longevity and the ability to mount stress responses. There is also an increasing appreciation that the stress response can be pharmacologically modulated, and thus diseases that arise from these phenomena might be selectively targeted.

The GRC meeting will highlight cutting-edge advances in these fields. As in the past, we will continue to emphasize vigorous discussions of recent exciting developments related to several areas of research. These include developments in stress sensing, signaling and gene expression. We will also focus on diseases of protein folding and conformation, the roles of stress genes in metabolism, growth and development, stress gene modulation of infection and pathophysiological states, the cell biology of stress, the chemical modulation of stress pathways, and the roles of stress in aging. Many opportunities will be provided for established and new investigators and for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to engage in detailed but informal discussions. We seek to enhance the dissemination of new information and the formation of new collaborations. In turn, this will lead to advances and broaden our understanding of the role of stress proteins in human health, aging, and disease.

Red Cells 2009

Jun 28, 2009 - Jul 3, 2009,
University of New England

The 2009 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Red Cells follows the series of meetings on this topic that have been held every other year since 1979. This conference assembles established and promising new investigators who are working on all aspects of erythroid cells, from the developmental/environmental control of its ontogeny, to cellular/morphogenic aspects related to its unique membrane structure, to transcriptional/epigenetic regulation of its gene expression, and to disorders that follow from variations in these normal processes. By focusing on these topics, the Red Cells GRC continues to be the primary venue for presentation of the latest cutting edge basic and methodological research that it has covered throughout its history and for which it has become famous.

The meeting attracts an international coterie of researchers and provides a lively forum for active participation and discussion within intimate surroundings that makes interactions easy between senior and junior investigators, and between investigators that normally may not readily interact. The conference aims to be inclusive; importantly, many of the participants will include postdoctoral fellows and graduate students in addition to investigators who are early in their academic careers.

Physical Organic Chemistry 2009

Cell Contact & Adhesion 2009

Jun 28, 2009 - Jul 3, 2009,
Waterville Valley Resort

Cell-cell contacts exert profound biological effects during both health and disease. Mechanisms promoting or modulating cell-cell contact promote sessile versus motile cell phenotypes, physically integrate cells into tissues, transduce forces that shape tissues and organisms, and pass signals across the plasma membrane. Many of the molecules involved are tumor suppressors or oncogenes, and further include host cell targets that allow for the entry of bacteria, viruses and parasites. Major challenges include increasing our understanding of the processes involved at the molecular level, and determining how such protein complexes or signaling pathways are integrated at the cell, tissue and organismal levels.

The 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Cell Contact & Adhesion will examine conceptual and experimental advances in our field, including relationships with emerging research areas. Focus areas will include cell polarity and morphogenesis. We seek to complement mechanistic analysis with the full spectrum of invertebrate, vertebrate and cellular systems necessary for functional analysis. We will continue to advance long-standing interests in cadherin and catenin based adherens junctions, as well as the biology of desmosomes, and tight and gap junctions.

2nd COMMUNIA Conference 2009

Jun 28, 2009 - Jun 30, 2009,

This conference aims to bring together leading people from a number of international scientific research communities, social science researchers and science, technology and innovation policy analysts, to discuss the rationale and practical feasibility of arrangements designed to emulate key public domain conditions for collaborative research. Initiatives and policies have been proposed that go beyond “open access” to published research findings by aiming to facilitate more effective and extensive (global) sharing of not only data and information, but research facilities, tools, and materials. There is thus a need to examine a number of these proposals’ conceptual foundations from the economic and legal perspectives and to analyze the roles of the public domain and contractually constructed commons in facilitating sharing of scientific and technical data, information and materials. But it is equally important to examine the available evidence about actual experience with concrete organizational initiatives in different areas of scientific and technological research, and to devise appropriate, contextually relevant methods of assessing effectiveness and identifying likely unintended and dysfunctional outcomes.

Tribology for Heavy Industries

Jun 28, 2009 - Jun 29, 2009,

Every machine consists of many machine elements and has the moving parts which are necessary to every machine. This relative motion causes wear and friction which lead to the breakdown of machine. The energy loss derived from wear and friction, besides, greatly reduces the efficiency of machine.
According to the Jost report, economic loss arisen from wear and friction was equivalent to 4% of GNP and 30% of total energy produced in the industry vanished by friction and wear. Therefore, for the reliability and endurance of machine and the reduction of the produce cost, wear and friction must be decreased and controlled properly. In these processes, Tribology plays a major role in analyzing many complicated problems and deriving the proper solutions.

This unique training course, led by an internationally renowned negotiation expert, will explore all types of Tribological approach at the strategy, business and technology levels using a variety of theoretical and practical exercises. In addition, case studies regionally and internationally will also be illustrated. This training will equip participants with the necessary knowledge and tools to utilise new and existing resources to effectively utilise lubricants, conduct oil analysis and understand the effect of vibration on moving parts towards effective condition based monitoring maintenance.

9th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry

Jun 28, 2009 - Jul 2, 2009,
Le Palais des Congrès de Paris 2, Place de la Por,

Following Vienna (2005), the Assocation Française de Psychiatrie Biologique (AFPB) will welcome you as a host for the most important highlight of our Federation – the 9th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry.

An excellent collection of scientific sessions will be prepared: intensive workshops and debates, plenary lectures with rewarded experts, and symposia. Young scientists are especially encouraged to present their recent findings in Free Communication and Young Scientists Award Sessions and thus benefit from the congress.

Looking back at the history of psychiatry Paris has been the centre of many important epochmaking developments. Philippe Pinel who became chair of the Hôpital Salpêtrière in 1794 is considered by many as one of the founders of modern psychiatry. He integrated the field of psychiatry into medicine by introducing empirical methods and by observating the clinical pictures of mental disorders.
In 1885 Sigmund Freud visited Jean-Martin Charcot whose psychopathological studies of hysteria had a great impact on Sigmund Freud’s theories.
