International Conference on Fish Diseases and Fish Immunology

Sep 6, 2008 - Sep 9, 2008,

Meeting's Aim and Scope: The understanding of infectious fish diseases and the causative agents, like viruses, bacteria and parasites, has been growing fast lately in the international scientific society. In parallel there is an increasing knowledge on host-pathogen interaction, including fish immunology and genome analysis of pathogens and several fish species. The aim of the meeting is to gather scientists from Europe and other parts of the world to discuss the recent developments in the field. The host institute (Institute for Experimental Pathology, University of Iceland at Keldur, homepage: www.keldur.hi.is), has made remarkable developments in the research field in the recent past and there are ongoing experiments of interest. The conference is planned as a 60th anniversary of the host institute and sponsored by FEMS (homepage: www.fems-microbiology.org) and one session is sponsored by NordForsk (homepage: www.nordforsk.org). Special emphasis is on supporting the attendance of young scientists. The conference is planned for three days and will start with a plenary lecture given by dr. Laura Brown on Host-Pathogen Interaction. The sessions will include fish immunology, viral diseases of fish and causative agents, bacterial diseases of fish and causative agents, fish parasitology, communication networks in marine bacteria and diseases in cold water fish species.

The BA Festival of Science

Sep 6, 2008 - Sep 11, 2008,
University of Liverpool, Liverpool, England, United Kingdom

In September 2008 science and culture collide as Liverpool, European Capital of Culture, experiences an explosion of science. From hands-on family days to debates on current hot topics; trips to places of interest and unique opportunities to question the UK’s top scientists; with over 150 events the BA Festival of Science offers something for everyone.

How did the Universe begin? Are we a land of the fat? Is there such a thing as too much Rock 'n' Roll? Is climate change just a big hype? How has slavery shaped Liverpool's heritage? Discuss it all at this year's Festival with many of today's most provocative, stimulating and entertaining scientists, artists and social commentators in a feast of exhibitions, events and activities.

Over 350 of today's most provocative, stimulating and entertaining scientists, artists and social commentators will be taking part. Star speakers include Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the 'world's greatest living explorer', and Sir David King, President of the BA (British Association for the Advancement of Science) and past Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government.

3rd Annual Hearth Tax Project Conference

Sep 6, 2008 - Sep 6, 2008,
Roehampton University London London, England, United Kingdom

This conference will examine evidence from a range of social and economic sources in order to provide both an insight into research methodologies and analysis in areas such as wealth and poverty, domestic life, occupations, religious belief and housing.

In addition to providing an overview of the period, the conference will engage in greater detail with sources such as hearth tax assessments, probate inventories, architectural plans, records of religious persecution and assessments for the Four shillings in the Pound Aid.

The day is suited to students, scholars and members of the general public who wish to gain an understanding of how to approach these seemingly complex and demanding sources in relation to social and cultural history as well as the history of the built environment and the social and occupational topography of Restoration London.

8th International Conference on Pulse Investigations in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics (PULS'2008 Conference)

Sep 6, 2008 - Sep 12, 2008,
Pregorzaly, Krakow Poland

Just 24 years ago the Institute of Applied Radiation Chemistry (IARC) at the Technical University of Lodz, Poland, joined the exclusive "club" of pulse radiolysis laboratories.

This event can be dated to May 1983, when 8 MeV LINAC and linked simple microsecond pulse-radiolysis set-up was officially opened and turned over to the team of chemists. Few months later Professor Jerzy Kroh, the Director of IARC, encouraged by the technical progress and scientific activity around new facilities proposed to organize, on premises of IARC, a dedicated international conference, tentatively named as PULS'85. The aim of this conference (first truly international in pulse radiolysis since 1967 Miller Conference held in Kazimierz Dolny) was to bring together the scientists who in different fields were exploring fascinating world of very fast processes and short living intermediates. Wide and very positive response to this idea showed that PULS filled the existing niche and soon became important forum for presenting results of experimental and theoretical studies of micro, nano, pico and femto time world. Tentative name PULS turned into the flag one. Each Conference took place at different location in Poland, giving the participants an opportunity to visit picturesque parts of our country.

3rd Symposium on Upper Gastrointestinal Malignancies

Sep 6, 2008 - Sep 6, 2008,
The Sofitel Philadelphia Philadelphia, Pennsylvania United States

The Third Symposium on Upper Gastrointestinal Malignancies is designed to update practicing medical, radiation, and surgical oncologists; gastroenterologists; nurses; and other clinicians on the broad advances made in the prevention, early diagnosis, and therapy of upper gastrointestinal malignancies in recent years. This symposium has been designed as an educational and scientific meeting that will provide cutting-edge updates on the biology, diagnosis, and multidisciplinary management of these diseases. Controversies and changes in treatment paradigms for these diseases will be reviewed. Investigational agents and targeted therapies will be discussed, including the context for their potential application in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal malignancies. This interactive symposium will include didactic sessions and case-based discussions with leading faculty that will address the clinical and surgical management of hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and gastric and esophageal cancers. The afternoon scientific session on “Mouse Models in Oncology” will bring thought leaders together to discuss the impact of animal models on the current research and clinical management of distinct tumor types. This symposium will promote education and collaborative investigation to advance the treatment standards for upper gastrointestinal malignancies within community practice.

ICER 2008: Fourth International Computing Education Research Workshop

Sep 6, 2008 - Sep 7, 2008,
University of Technology (UTS) Sydney, New South Wales Australia

Computing education, as a research discipline, is the study of how people come to understand computational processes and devices, and of how to improve that understanding. As computation becomes ubiquitous in our world, understanding of computing in order to design, structure, maintain, and utilize these technologies becomes increasingly important – both for the technology professional and for the technologically literate citizen. The research study of how the understanding of computation develops, and of how to improve that understanding, is critically important for the technology-dependent societies in which we live.

Computing Education Research employs methodologies from many fields, including psychology, education, anthropology and statistics. As a consequence, research is frequently characterized by a diversity of methodological approaches; these may be applied directly, or may be combined and modified to suit the particular cross-disciplinary questions that we ask.

WordCamp Philippines 2008

Sep 6, 2008 - Sep 6, 2008,
College of St. Benilde, Taft Avenue, Manila, Philippines

A group of WordPress enthusiasts, developers, advocates and users are embarking on this project to bring WordCamp to the Philippines for the first time. The core of this group successfully organized the 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit, which was held in Davao City last 27 October 2007. This time, they are targeting a more nationwide scope, but for more focused content.

WordPress, the most highly-regarded and arguably the best blogging platform in the world, certainly has a large user base in the Philippines. WordCamp is our venue for sharing, networking and learning more about WordPress, just like it is in many parts of the globe.

Watch out for further announcements regarding WordCamp Philippines 2008! Your input, comments, suggestions are most welcome!
