- How to Understand and Respond to Communications from EPO Examiners
-
Oct 10, 2008 - Oct 10, 2008,
The Rembrandt Hotel, London, England, United KingdomThe purpose of this seminar is to give, on the one hand, the participants the opportunity to see how examiners apply in practice the fundamental concepts of patentability under the EPC: clarity, novelty, inventive step, added subject-matter ( as well as intermediate generalisations). On the other hand, all elements to be taken in account when amending a European application/patent will be looked at. Ways to overcome missed time limits will also be dealt with. Whenever possible, the different topics will be illustrated by European case law.

- Things Fall Apart at 50
-
Oct 10, 2008 - Oct 10, 2008,
Institute of English Studies, University of London London, England United KingdomThe publication of Chinua Achebe's first novel, Things Fall Apart , in 1958 marked the beginning of a new era in African writing in English. It was an inspiration for writers and readers not only on the African continent but throughout the world. Fifty years later, and as part of a series of worldwide events instigated by the Achebe Foundation in New York, this conference seeks to revisit that novel and assess its significance then and now. Speakers will include those involved in publishing and republishing the novel, writers, readers, artists, and critics from Africa, Europe, the UK, and the United States. Among the writers who have agreed to take part are Doris Lessing, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Abdulrazak Gurnah. The conference will culminate with a dialogue between Chinua Achebe and the eminent Princeton scholar Simon Gikandi.

• Metabolic disease
• Genetics
• Cardiac biology
• Atherosclerosis
• Signal transduction/receptors
• Clinical hypertension
• Renal function
• Endothelium

- 28th Southeastern Atlantic Regional Conference on Differential Equations (SEARCDE 2008)
-
Oct 10, 2008 - Oct 11, 2008,
University of Arkansas Little Rock, Arkansas United StatesFor nearly three decades the SEARCDE has been a conference which brings together established and new researchers and advanced graduate students for an exchange of ideas and discussions on the diverse aspects of differential equations. The primary purpose of the conference is to promote research and education in the field of differential equations, i.e., ordinary and partial differential equations and functional differential equations, numerical techniques and their applications to biology, engineering and physics.

- Deformations of Surfaces
-
Oct 10, 2008 - Oct 12, 2008,
Alfred Renyi Institute of Mathematics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences Budapest HungaryThe main goal of the meeting is to present "old and new" results regarding deformations of isolated singularities, with a special emphasis on key classes such as rational, sandwiched, minimal singularities. Moreover, we plan to connect the classical techniques with the toric machinery as well.
The meeting will have the style of a "summer school" - adequate to learn the subject for non-experts and young researchers, but definitely will be enjoyable for the experts too. - full details

- International Conference on Applied Modeling & Information Security Systems
-
Oct 10, 2008 - Oct 12, 2008,
Eastern Illinois University Charleston, Illinois United StatesThe conference will gather scientists and professionals in the fields of health care, environmental sciences and large-scale data simulation to learn more about recent developments in computational science and information security systems and the role of those disciplines in data security.
One primary objective is to set up forums to conduct exchanges of scientific studies on the most recent research works related to large scale nonlinear system-solvers.
Applications of these works on models related to health and environments are very much welcome.
Also aritcles on parallel computations and large-scale dynamic data simulations in computer graphics will be emphasized in this conference. - full details

- AGU Chapman Conference on Universal Heliophysical Processes (IHY)
-
Oct 10, 2008 - Oct 14, 2008,
Savannah, Georgia United StatesThe conference title reflects the primary science theme of the 2007–2008 International Heliophysical Year (IHY), advancing our understanding of the fundamental heliophysical processes that govern the Sun, Earth, and heliosphere. The conference program will reflect the approach to research described in the 2004 report of the National Research Council (NRC), Plasma Physics of the Local Cosmos , which is organized into five categories: creation and annihilation of magnetic fields, formation of structures and transients, plasma interactions, explosive energy conversion, and energetic particle acceleration. This approach seeks to find universal physical laws through comparative studies in the laboratory of the solar system. It contrasts with the less-focused, traditional approach that deals with a heterogeneous collection of structures and processes that have fixed locations and distinct modes of organization, like sunspots, solar flares, coronal mass ejections, the solar wind, solar energetic particles, Earth's bow shock, magnetopause, magnetotail, magnetosphere, substorms, radiation belts, and auroras. Each has been the sole or featured subject of at least one conference and at least one book. This compartmentalization of study that pervades the basic side of the field inhibits desired progress from a derivative to a stand-alone field of science. It invites ad hoc explanations instead of universal explanations that apply generally to plasmas in the cosmos. The objective of the conference is to help focus efforts on finding the universal explanations.
