Conventions: Aug 09, 2009

 
International Ergonomics Association / IEA 2009
Aug 9, 2009 - Aug 14, 2009,
Beijing Jiuhua International and Exhibition Center, Beijing, Beijing (munic.) China

On behalf of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA), the Chinese Ergonomics Society (CES) is pleased to announce that the 17th Congress of the IEA is going to be held on August 9-14, 2009 in Beijing, China.

The Congress is hosted by the CES with support of Ergonomics Society of Taiwan, China and Hong Kong Ergonomics Society, China. The CES is very pleased to invite all scientists of ergonomics and related disciplines in the world to attend the 17th Congress of IEA. Beijing, with a history of more than 3,400 years, is a world-famous city for its splendid culture and a hub of Chinese politics, culture and international exchanges. In recent years, Beijing has remained the focus of the world, particularly after the city won the bid of hosting 2008 Summer Olympic Games.

If you have been to Beijing before, please come to see the challenges and opportunities brought to the city by rapid changes. If you have not been to Beijing, please attend the IEA 2009 and enjoy the hospitality, friendliness, interesting culture, and delicious food. We promise you a successful congress and a pleasant Chinese experience in 2009.

Soft Condensed Matter Physics
Aug 9, 2009 - Aug 14, 2009,
Colby-Sawyer College New London, New Hampshire United States

The meeting will be designed to exploit and advance fruitful connections between condensed matter physics and quantitative biology. Possible topics include in vivo and in vitro rheology of biological materials, single molecule biophysics, biological applications of microfluidics, the physics of viruses, physical aspects of molecular evolution and gene expression, biomimetic materials and design principles for motility of organisms such as E. coli and C. elegans.

Floral & Vegetative Volatiles 2009
Aug 9, 2009 - Aug 14, 2009,
Magdalen College Oxford, England United Kingdom

The 2009 Gordon Conference on Floral and Vegetative Volatiles will bring together researchers to explore the rapid advances in genomics, analytics and sensory perception of plant volatiles. Genomic tools have revolutionized most of biology and the biochemistry and cell biology of scent production is no exception. Dramatic advances in instrumentation, particularly in ambient pressure mass spectrometry have allowed for the detection and identification of trace amounts of volatiles and image their release in real time. From this work, it has become clear than plants emit an amazing array of such compounds and the ever expanding genomic tool box is helping plant biologists understand how they are synthesized and released, the signaling cascades that elicit their releases and their evolution. Equally dramatic has been the pace of discovery in how these volatiles are perceived and the *sensory systems* in animals (including humans) by which this occurs and this will be a new focus for the conference. The identification of odor receptors and their genetic variability in the recipients of these volatiles has generated new paradigms for their function. Lastly, as the paucity of words in human speech to describe the sensory experience of volatile perception underscores, researchers in this field are confronted with a major challenge in how to translate their research to a lay public. To stimulate discussion in this translational component, linguists who work with movie producers, enologists, food critics, to translate the human experience of volatile perception, will help researchers working in the field overcome the linguistic challenges.

Drinking Water Disinfection By-Products
Aug 9, 2009 - Aug 14, 2009,
Mount Holyoke College South Hadley, Massachusetts United States

Several epidemiologic studies indicate that there may be a risk of cancer from use of chlorinated tap water. However, to-date, the health effects observed in single-chemical animal toxicity studies (primarily liver cancer) have not been able to explain the effects observed in the human epidemiologic studies (primarily bladder cancer). More recent epidemiologic studies have focused on reproductive and developmental effects. And, although there have been associations observed between chlorinated tap water and these effects, it is not known which chemicals / disinfection by-products (DBPs) in the water may be responsible. Also, because previous toxicological research has focused on single chemical testing, it is not known how the complex mixture of DBPs (typically more than 300 chemicals) affects the overall toxicity and human health risk assessments (are the effects additive or non-additive?). The aim of this conference is to have the latest DBP occurrence and formation, treatment, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology research presented to continue the dialog between chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and engineers in this area, and integrate epidemiologic, toxicology, exposure, and occurrence and formation studies so that this important human exposure issue may be solved.
