abstract: The goal of the program is to bring together the world leaders in spectral theory of random Schrödinger operators and theoretical physicists successfully working on the problem of Anderson localization. Among the topics that will be addressed during the program are: The nature of critical phenomena associated with localization-delocalization transitions; The existence and statistical properties of extended states for D > 2 and the behaviour in the critical dimension D = 2; Rigorous version of supersymmetric methods and of the nonlinear ?-model techniques; The localization-delocalization phenomena associated with the Integer Quantum Hall effect; Rigorous mathematical understanding of the relation between magnetic Schrödinger operators and network models, and the connection with quantum percolation; Localization in the presence of a random magnetic field; Behaviour of products of random matrices and associated Lyapunov exponents; Localization and delocalization in disordered systems characterised by non-selfadjoint operators; Dynamical localization in Quantum Chaotic systems; Localization in systems with aperiodic potential, as well as in models with correlated or long-ranged disorder; Localization in systems with nonlinearities, and localization-delocalization phenomena in disordered systems of interacting quantum particles.

abstract: Implementation of dual-beam focused ion beam (FIB), basic electron and ion optics, electron/ion interaction with materials and EDS, and criteria for understanding images based on the various available signals and detectors.

Hands-on experiments: HRSEM and FIB imaging, channeling contrast, localized electron/ion induced deposition, enhanced etching, cross-section SEM specimen preparation, H-bar TEM specimen preparation, and Lift-Out TEM specimen preparation.

Six hours of lectures on FIB/SEM followed by 14 hours of hands-on training on the Technion dual beam FIB (Strata 400s).

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): basic electron optics and resolution; point resolution compared to the information limit, reciprocal space and electron diffraction, imaging by diffraction contrast (bright field, dark field, two-beam conditions), phase contrast (contrast transfer function, HRTEM, basic approaches to determining atomic positions, strain measurements), STEM (Z-contrast and EDS), and EFTEM (EELS, energy filters, interpretation of data).

24 hours of lecture followed by 26 hours of experiments on the Technion monochromated and aberration corrected FEG-TEM.

abstract: The optics and photonics conferences in SPIE Europe Security and Defence will address the technological and academic challenges that continue to emerge as defence and security strategies evolve. Hear top researchers exploring the application of technologies in advanced security and defence systems. With a European focus, this event attracts more than 400 attendees in the security and defense sector. Collocated with the SPIE Europe Remote Sensing meeting, you can also take advantage of the cross section of 600 attendees working in a technical area rich in solutions for the security and defence community. Explore new opportunities to collaborate with colleagues and potential new partners in industry, academia, and government from around the world.

abstract: The aim of this year's School is to present a wide panorama of current research in Theoretical Physics: Quantum Fields and Strings, Gravitation, Biology and Supercomputing. World leading scientists in their respective domains will give an authoritative introduction to what are considered as the most promising ideas and research activities in various directions. This is meant to positively contribute to broaden our view of science in an era of super specialization. It is assumed that participants have already received a specific training in Quantum Field Theory and Theoretical Particle Physics. The School consists of academic lectures and discussion sessions. There will be plenty of time for other activities in the Campus of Parma University, sports, culture, sightseeing.

abstract: The conference will feature speakers and demonstrations from the Australian and international eResearch community and will provide: * A catalyst for innovation and collaboration, by bringing together the architects, builders, users, and managers of eResearch infrastructures and services; * A forum to support the development, enhancement, and harmonisation of national, regional, and discipline-specific eResearch infrastructures and services; * A showcase for innovative science and research enabled through these technologies and services.

abstract: The goal of the conference is to provide activities that will lead to an increase in the number of competitively prepared minority geoscientists.

abstract: ICSTIE 2008 UiTM Pulau Pinang is a good platform for researchers, instructors, scientists, engineers and students to exchange their ideas and intellectual view on related topics. In addition, this conference will expand their communication network in developing knowledge and new discovery using the method state-of-the-art technology. The conference also focuses on Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) with various science and technology input that contributes to the development of NCER.
