abstract: Natural locomotion in fluids includes the swimming of fish and microorganisms and the flying of birds and insects. Other creatures employ similar movements on solid and fluid surfaces, e.g., snails, snakes, and water striders. Nature has exploited the complex fluid dynamics of time-dependent three-dimensional flows over a wide range of Reynolds numbers to evolve a variety of interesting mechanisms of locomotion. This workshop will focus on the mechanics of these behaviors and the current state of theoretical and experimental work in the field. The scope will cover the dynamics from low to high Reynolds numbers, emphasizing the links between the fluid dynamics and the nature of the evolved mechanisms. The inclusion of movement over solid and fluid surfaces introduces new phenomena involving surface stresses and complex fluid layers.

abstract: The interplay between biological organisms and hydrodynamic flows influences strongly the ecology of oceans, lakes and rivers, as well as developmental processes in living organisms. These phenomena at the interface between biology and physics cover different temporal and spatial scales from small-scale turbulence to mesoscale hydrodynamic activity on the physical side, and from bacteria and other cellular organisms up to swimming animals like fish on the biological side.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists from various disciplines who investigate organisms in fluid flows from different perspectives and to address, among others, topics like: impact of mesoscale mixing on biology, population dynamics in rivers, non-passive transport, experimental biology in fluids, bioconvection and the influence of small-scale turbulence on plankton. The general goal of the workshop is to facilitate cross-fertilization between the different scientific communities and to stimulate joint interdisciplinary projects among the participants.

abstract: In der Medizintechnik haben Kunststoffe durch ihr breites Eigenschaftsspektrum, die Kombinationsvielfalt und Funktionalisierbarkeit eine führende Aufgabe übernommen. Die Anwendungen am menschlichen Körper erfordern überwiegend flexible und elastische Lösungen. Gerade bei den Herz-Kreislaufsystemen sind die Anforderungen an die Kunststoffe außerordentlich hoch. Besonders wichtig sind dabei neben der Elastizität eine hohe Biokompatibilität, eine robuste und valide Verarbeitbarkeit sowie ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Auf der zweiten Fachtagung Kunststoffe medcial Swiss werden die Potenziale, die Anforderungen und die Trends von Kunststoffen in der kardiovaskulären Medizin dargestellt und im Anschluss an die Vorträge in einer hochkarätigen Diskussionsrunde diskutiert.

abstract: Each two years we organize conference entitled From Solid State to Biophysics in the splendid neighboring town of Dubrovnik called Cavtat. The meeting (up to 150 scientists) gives a forum to those who have experienced the passage from condensed matter to biophysics. And the topics are open ended: we invite colleagues from biology or medicine who are seeking a better contact with physicists and physicists who want to have an outlook to biophysical themes. Especially we feel a close relation with specialists in nanoscience whose expertise is at the length-scales of biological structures. New techniques, new approaches to living matter are also the subject of the conference. The Mediterranean atmosphere at the Adriatic coast gives a convivial background for interdisciplinary experiences.

abstract: The Expo enables you to visit with more than 150 equipment manufacturers and service providers to learn more about the latest medical technologies and practices impacting your career.

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!
