Abstracts of The 39th Annual International Symposium on Acupuncture, Electro-Therapeutics, & Latest Advancements

For the second time a special issue of Nanotechnology is formed as a collection of selected papers that were presented at the annual International Symposium on Nanostructures: Physics and Technology (www.ioffe.rssi.ru/NANO2001). The Symposia were chaired by two Nobel Prize winners, Professor Zh Alferov and Professor L Esaki, and are traditionally organized by the Ioffe Institute in Repino---a suburb of St Petersburg.The symposia are essential events for the international community of physicists working in this very important area which covers the newest achievements in physics, technology and applications of solid state nanostructures. The constantly increasing number of papers submitted to the symposium could be considered as evidence of the intense growth and development in this area. It should be stressed that the volume of submissions takes place against the background of a growth in the number of conferences, symposia and workshops devoted to different aspects of the problem. The 10th International Symposium on Nanostructures: Physics and Technology will be held in St Petersburg, Russia, 17--21 June 2002.A number of papers presented at the 3rd Russian Workshop on Nanophotonics are also included in this special issue. The annual workshop was organized in 2000 by the Institute for Physics of Microstructures of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nizhnii Novgorod, Russia (www.ipm.sci-nnov.ru/eng) as a satellite conference of the Nanostructure Symposium. It is focused on Si-based optoelectronics, on the physics of stimulated emission of the mid- and far-IR range radiation and on nonlinear optics in the semiconductor nanostructures. The next workshop on Nanophotonics will be held next year on 11--14 March 2002.R Suris Guest Editor International Symposium on Nanostructures: Physics and Technology Z Krasil'nik Guest Editor 3rd Russian Workshop on Nanophotonics

Cultural Interflow at the Age of Multiculturalism — A Report on CCLA 99 Annual Conference and International Symposium on Comparative Literature and Cross – Cultural Communications

The 3rd IAGR Annual Convention and International Symposium, Hong Kong, December 2006

Investigation into the use of heavy ions for therapeutic purposes was initially pioneered at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the 1970s [1, 2]. More recently, however, significant advances in determining the safety and efficacy of using heavy ions in the hospital setting have been reported in Japan and Germany [3, 4]. These promising results have helped to resurrect interest in the establishment of hospital-based heavy ion therapy in the United States. In line with these efforts, world experts in the field of heavy ion therapy were invited to attend the first annual International Symposium on Ion Therapy, which was held at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, from November 12 to 14, 2014. A brief overview of the results and discussions that took place during the symposium are presented in this article.

THIS YEAR'S DISPLAY WEEK, THE ANNUAL International Symposium, Seminar, and Exhibition organized by the Society for Information Display (SID), is being held May 21–26 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. It's occurring 60 years after the first annual event was held in the same city. On this anniversary, I want to reflect on where we are today. All around us, we are witnessing transformations in the ways we interact with technologies and devices. Today's human-technology interfaces are more natural, intuitive, and interactive than ever before, with visual displays at the center. We've seen the evolution of human inputs from joysticks, to mice and keyboards, to touchscreens. Now voice and vision are emerging as the next wave. With continued developments in artificial intelligence (AI), natural interfaces based on touch, voice, and vision are poised to become the primary ways that we interact with devices. New products and markets have been driven by innovators who capitalized on new human-technology interaction paradigms. A driving force in the widespread proliferation of personal computers was the advent of the mouse and keyboard, and modern smartphones were largely made possible because of touch interfaces, among other key enabling technologies, including flat-panel displays. Now virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) devices are emerging, benefiting from computer vision innovations in inside-out tracking and natural gesture control interfaces. The significance of this continuing transformation for the industry that SID serves cannot be overstated. It's no longer about just designing and manufacturing a display screen that shows information. The entire system must be considered together—from vision, voice, and touch sensors that see, hear, and feel human inputs, to AI algorithms that understand human intention and enable the system to respond through the display. Engineers must understand the entire information flow and architect integrated systems from sensors to displays. The value that SID provides to our members is in supporting them in delivering greater value to their customers, so we owe it to them to expand our focus to encompass end-to-end imaging and vision technologies. I explained this drive to “redefine the ‘I’ in SID” in the last issue of Information Display (ID). With that as a backdrop, I would like to share some highlights of the Display Week 2023 program. Display Week is well known for its expansive exhibition and international symposium, and this year is no exception. The International Technical Symposium will feature top scientists, researchers, and academics with presentations and hundreds of papers from around the world. Special topics include AR/MR/VR, machine learning, and outdoor displays, as well as sensors integration and multifunctional displays—a new topic for 2023 in line with our expanding focus. We also are debuting the SID Imaging and Vision Special Event with speakers from organizations such as Meta, Microsoft, Sony, UCLA, HKU, and OpenCV. The event will focus on advances in image sensing, computer graphics, AI-aided computer vision, and machine learning techniques that enable new intelligent and interactive systems and applications. On the exhibition floor, the largest display and imaging companies will demonstrate advances in AR/VR, OLED, microLED, miniLED, LCD, quantum dots, automobile technology, wearables, digital signage, ePaper, vision sensors, and more. In the Innovation Zone (I-Zone), attendees can see prototypes and pre-market products from small companies, startups, and research organizations. An amazing part of Display Week is how it honors people who have made significant contributions to the industry. The 2023 Honors and Awards will be presented to a select group of innovators who have furthered research, pushed the boundaries of discovery, and improved technology. To read more about the prizes and honorees, see the March/April 2023 issue of ID. Other special events and programs include the SID/DSCC Business Conference, CEO Forum, Women in Tech event, Young Leadership Conference, SID Job Fair, and much more. There is something for everyone in the ecosystem. Looking to the next 60 years, SID will continue to evolve as the world evolves, and Display Week will continue to be the place to experience the latest innovations in electronic displays and imaging technologies. We're excited to bring these important developments to our community. Please reach out with ideas and comments to [email protected]. I hope to see you at Display Week!

The 10th annual IEEE Computer Society International Symposium on Wearable Computers took place on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland, in October 2006. ISWC is the premier conference in wearable computing, featuring the latest in technical advances and fashions. Attendees came from both academia and industry, representing a broad spectrum of nationalities and technical interests, with more than 150 participants from 19 countries. The papers, posters, and demonstrations at the conference focused on several themes. The conference had sessions on activity recognition, location systems, interface evaluation, input devices and sensors, and wearability

The annual joint IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and the USNC/URSI National Radio Science Meeting [2] also featured multiple technical sessions devoted to biomedical issues. As would be natural for the sponsoring societies, there was a special emphasis on the role of antennas in biomedical sensor and imaging systems. There were dedicated sessions on biomedical telemetry (including implanted devices), breast cancer detection (with a heavy emphasis on computational modeling), electromagnetic dosimetry and biological exposure assessment, human body interactions with antennas and other electromagnetic devices (including body-centric networks), and therapeutic/rehabilitative applications (e.g., micro-magnetic neuro-stimulation and trans-cranial magnetic stimulation). In addition, a short course focused on the design of biocompatible antennas for handheld devices (mobile phones, tablet PCs).

This special section presents contributed short papers from the 2nd Annual Earth-Life Science Institute International Symposium, which was convened at the National Institute of Informatics in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, from March 24th to 26th, 2014. The meeting was attended by about 200 scientists and featured 34 invited speakers from seven countries. Presentations were divided between five oral presentation sessions covering the Origin & Evolution of the Earth-Life System, including 1. Origin of Life: Scenarios & Approach, 2. Water in the Early Solar System, 3. Where Did Life Emerge? Deep Sea, Surface, or Mars?, 4. Exploring the Hadean Earth and 5. Early Evolution of Earth and Life before Oxygen, as well as a poster flash talk session and 3 poster sessions.
