abstract: WILGA has a number of main topical tracks. Historically, the first one was Photonics and Web Engineering. Generally, WILGA embraces advanced photonic and electronic systems, in the following aspects: modeling, algorithms, simulations, hardware, software, measurements, commissioning and exploitation. Topical sessions are organized by leading experts. Sessions usually begin with current tutorials and are filled with contributed papers by students and young researchers. One of the most important session tracks in WILGA are systems for superconductive accelerator (and free electron laser) technology and high energy physics experiments.

abstract: The aim of the conference is to bring together scientists employing Raman spectroscopy to study geological systems in a broad range of areas, examples of which include: mineralogy, petrology, archaeometry, astrobiology, fossils and forensics.

abstract: The CPO conference series was started in 1980 with the aim of bringing together three scientific communities in the charged particle optics area: accelerator optics, spectrometer optics, and electron optics.

abstract: Dendrochronology revolutionized our understanding of the timing and nature of past environmental change. Coral sclerochronology expanded and refined this understanding by contributing data from low latitude marine settings. Now studies of other mineralized organisms are set to provide information from mid and high latitudes (both in the marine and terrestrial realms), facilitating comprehensive, integrated reconstruction of environmental history. The new data, commonly but not exclusively derived from mollusks, are often of very high temporal resolution, providing a record of change over timescales from years to as little as hours. Being based on biomineralized materials the techniques involved are applicable to studies in deep time as well as the more recent past. Sclerochronology has already made a significant contribution to our knowledge of past climate change: there is immense scope for further work and for research integrated with approaches involving other 'banded' records (tree rings, teeth, otoliths, speleothems, varves etc.). As well as to climate change, sclerochronology is being applied in pollution monitoring, studies of life history traits, ecophysiology, diet, migration and diverse other contexts.

Anyone working on or interested in the formation and interpretation of growth increments in accretionary hard parts of invertebrate and vertebrate organisms, their geochemistry and crystal fabrics or the underlying processes of biomineralization, should attend this conference. Come to Mainz, share your thoughts and help to bring this fast-developing field forward!

abstract: The 2010 International Conference on Optical, Electronic and Electrical Materials (OEEM2010) will be held during August 1-4, 2010 in Kunming, China. This international conference arises from a need for those researchers interested in an international forum of scientists and engineers to cover a wide range of materials and applications in optics, electronics, electrical, photonics and optoelectronics. The purpose of this conference is to provide opportunities for material scientists, researchers, and engineers around the world to present their pioneering works and exchange their ideas with each other.

abstract: Biologically inspired Physics is an extraordinarily wide field, covering the behaviour of systems from single molecular machines to organisms and even ecosystems. Physics Meets Biology 2010 will provide a broad view of the most recent and exciting research across a broad range of topics and scales: its scope includes physical probes and imaging, bionanotechnology, molecular machinery, cytoskeletal mechanics, signalling, control, neural systems, development, evolution and ecology. There will be a special session devoted to teaching Biological Physics. The conference is organized around an international programme of invited speakers and will include contributed talks and poster sessions. Its state-of-the-art research coverage is designed to inform experts of the latest developments; it will also provide a valuable introduction to biophysical research for junior researchers including graduate students. Physics Meets Biology 2010 is the second in the series organized by the Biological Physics Group of the Institute of Physics.

abstract: The 23rd ILASS 2010 Europe Conference is organized by the Energy Institute, Faculty of Mechanical Emgineering, Brno University of Technology and will take place in Brno, Czech Republic. We encourage researchers, engineers and students in the field of atomization and sprays to participate in the conference to share the latest development in the field. The focus of the conference will be theoretical, experimental and simulation work.

Brno is a site of many universities placed about 100 km north of Vienna; easy to reach from Prague and Vienna airport. Except beautiful countryside Brno offers also good Czech beers and wine. Come to place where Napoleon won the battle of Austerlitz.

abstract: Simulation and computation play a critical role in important societal problems. Examples include the role of anthropogenic emissions on climate and ocean circulation; the prediction of earthquakes and tsunamis; the prediction of paths and storm surges of hurricanes; designing infrastructure that is capable of withstanding disasters, such as floods and terrorist attacks; the design and long term durability of major infrastructure, such as bridges, tunnels, etc; the spread and containment of disease and epidemics, etc. These systems exhibit extreme complexity: there are a myriad of different issues that are critical and must be accurately addressed. Models contain and interface large numbers of physical effects. All of these problems represent grand challenge computer problems that require pushing the limits of technology, both with regards to algorithms and machines as well as the development of the physical models themselves.
