PI 3-Kinase Signaling in Disease

Apr 22, 2009 - Apr 27, 2009,
Resort at Squaw Creek Olympic Valley, California United States

The PI 3-kinase signaling pathway controls multiple physiological processes including cell growth, cell proliferation and cell movement. Dysregulation of this pathway in cancer, inflammation and heart disease has led to the emergence of PI 3-kinase as a promising therapeutic target. One of the most exciting developments in this field is the discovery of new PI 3-kinase inhibitors. The balance between modulating PI 3-kinase activity in pathophysiological setting, whilst avoiding unwanted side-effects, is the subject of intense debate. In addition, as PI 3-kinase is a member of a multigene family, the rationale for inhibiting individual isoforms or multiple isoforms of PI 3-kinase is constantly changing. This meeting aims to bring together scientists and clinicians from academia and industry to discuss the opportunities and liabilities of targeting the PI 3-kinase pathway in disease, drawing on human pathophysiology and genetics, mouse models and preclinical data with new PI 3-kinase inhibitors.

Complex Lipids in Biology: Signaling, Compartmentalization and Disease

Apr 22, 2009 - Apr 27, 2009,
Resort at Squaw Creek Olympic Valley, California United States

Complex lipids constitute a diverse family of biomolecules of seven general classes that serve essential roles in Biology. For example, lipids include structural phospholipids that form cellular membranes but are also the reservoirs and source of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are signaling mediators. Intense research effort over the past years has substantially changed our understanding of lipid biochemistry and lipid function in cells with the application of new tools and techniques to study these molecules. This meeting will bring together a group of individuals who have the common goal of understanding the role that lipids play in cell biology, physiology and disease processes.

Crowne Plaza St James London, England United Kingdom

Risk management is an essential part of the succesful progress of PPP projects. The analysis of potential risk elements throughout the process from bidding to operational projects is one of the most important elements to maximising profit and functionality while minimalising potential difficulties that may arise from contractual issues through the course of the scheme.

SMi's 2nd Understanding Risk Management In PPP Projects conference will take you through the risk analysis process from the bidding stage through to post-financial close and operational phases, with case studies demonstrating the practical application of solutions to real life problems. The risks from the auditors' perspective will provide a balanced view of the importance of risk analysis, while the examples of existing projects will show how to effectively manage risk in a live PPP environment. Private investors would also benefit from attending this event, with presentations on equity, refinancing and insurable risks covering the essential components to be considered by those interested in funding PPP projects.

Areas such as the fair regulation of facilities management operators in operational projects will take a look at the risks involved with contracting to the private sector both from the public and private perspective. How to implement a fair benchmarking process will also be a topic of discussion at this event, as more PPP projects than ever are a few years into the operational stage, making this a timely subject to study.

Battlespace Awareness

Apr 22, 2009 - Apr 24, 2009,
Washington DC/ Virginia United States

One of the security dilemmas that exist for America is the dauntingly large battlefield. The repressive and borderless alliance of terrorists and rogue states, the non traditional nature of modern asymmetric warfare, and the potential for the use of technology to create devastating world wide effects mean the US President and other decision makers are faced with an increasingly global battlespace

As the threats have increased so has the need for joint Warfighting to evolve to meet new challenges in integrated operations. Managed by US Strategic Command Battlespace awareness is one of ten Joint Capability Areas that will allow the continued building upon the DoD capability-based planning and management efforts to facilitate strategic choices and improve the ability to make capability trade-offs.

The marcus evans Battlespace Awareness Conference will define the role of battlespace awareness in the planning process and the operational and strategic challenges for effective management of the command. It will focus on eliminating fratricide in ground and air combat through effective situational understanding and the effective use of cognitive and interoperability tools between the services.

Inventory Planning and Control (Malaysia)

Apr 22, 2009 - Apr 23, 2009,
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Inventory Management is the bread and butter of diverse industries; it is the main way for companies to retain a high profit margin by minimizing costs. Still, many companies suffer from several, apparently conflicting, inventory problems:

• Frequent stockouts of critical products.

• Large quantities (and value) of excess inventory and dead stock.

• Inaccurate product availability information in the computer system.

Many hope it's nothing more than a temporary growing pain on the industry's path to maturity. It won't just disappear; not without help. The inventory problem is real and requires a solution.

Lean Manufacturing 2009

Apr 22, 2009 - Apr 23, 2009,
South Africa

Lean manufacturing is a manufacturing system and philosophy which outlined and demonstrated by Toyota and is now used by many manufacturers throughout the world. Other manufacturers have adapted the system to meet their own needs and therefore the term Lean Manufacturing is a generic term and refers to the general prinscipals and further developments of lean.

The emphasis of Lean is to cut out access waste in the manufacturing process. Waste is defined as anything that does not add value to the customer and also defined as anything the customer is not willing to pay for. The idea of Lean involves a streamline operation for producing and item when needed with the lowest possible cost within the least amount of time.

Lean manufacturing boosts benefits that include saving time, cutting costs and simplified production techniques that will give manufacturers a competitive advantage across all relevant industries. By eliminating wastes the implementation of lean manufacturing is at a beginning and products can be perfected first time with zero defects.
