The Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management Society (AEHMS) convenes biennial conferences regularly in various parts of the world. AEHMS 10 was held in the beautiful and historic city of Siena, Italy, part of the scenic Tuscan region.With AEHMS 10: “The Aquatic Ecosystem Puzzle: Threats, Opportunities and Adaptation,” the Society enters into its third decade of promoting the understanding of ecosystem health, management, and conservation of both marine and freshwater aquatic resources through its ongoing international series of conferences and publications. Previous biennial conferences were held in Canada, Germany, USA, Portugal, Mexico, Netherlands, France, China, and Vietnam. The conference was designed to focus on the current state of the world's water bodies, the common threats/risks they face as well as the application of ecosystem-based science for sustainable management of aquatic resources, hopefully contributing towards solving the complex ecosystem puzzle.The program consisted of 65 oral presentations including 5 keynotes and 3 honorary lectures given to mark the 20th birthday of AEHMS establishment and also included several posters. Papers were categorized into the following themes: Adapting to climate change in aquatic ecosystems: European & global perspectivesBiogeochemical dynamics: Local processes with global implicationsHealth and biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems: Bottom up and top down strategiesIntegrating ecology, toxicology and management: Can laboratory and field approaches meet?Tools, toys and techniques for the 21st centuryBased on the presentations, 25 manuscripts were submitted to the journal and were subjected to peer review as per the guidelines of the AEHM journal. Articles included contain a variety of topics and ecosystems ranging from Australia, Burundi, Spain, Estonia and Italy.I take this opportunity to thank Steven Loiselle who co-chaired the conference with me and his local Committee for organizing the conference. Thanks are also due to Lisa Elder, conference coordinator and other AEHMS staff, namely Susan Blunt, Jennifer Lorimer and Mark Fitzpatrick for their assistance in the development of this special issue.

LCA Food 2012—towards sustainable food systems

Among its many wonders, France is famous for its food. The eighth edition of the “International Conference on Life Cycle Assessment in the Agri-Food Sector” was held there for the first time in 2012. The LCA Food conferences are the world’s premier scientific forum on LCA in the agri-food sector. The previous conferences took place in Belgium (1996, 1998), Sweden (2001, 2007), Denmark (2003), Switzerland (2008) and Italy (2010). LCA Food 2012 took place in Saint Malo (western France) from 1–4 October. It was organised by INRA, the French National Institute for Agricultural Research, with the support of ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency. It was supported by ten sponsors (see conferencewebsite) and our indefatigable INRA colleagues of the organising committee. The 23-person international scientific committee reviewed 362 abstracts and 110 six-page papers.

FORTUNA—A framework for the design and development of hardware-based secure systems

Security requires a holistic view. In this work we contribute to this goal by taking a new viewpoint, with the proposal of the logic-probabilistic framework FORTUNA to support the design and development of hardware-based-security systems (HwBSS). It extends and further substantiates our ideas presented in a previous conference paper (Gallo et al., 2011). Our contributions in this article are: (a) to extend and validate FORTUNA, and (b) to illustrate its effectiveness uncovering an unreported SPARC V8 architectural security flaw.

Prof. Bo-Young Hur Dr. Seung-Eun Kim Prof. John Banhart Dr. Francisco García Moreno Numerous types of cellular metals have been developed in the past decades and have become an independent class of new engineering materials by now. They possess a spectrum of unique properties such as high impact energy absorption capability, air, and water permeability, unusual acoustic properties, and low relative thermal conductivity. Their applications include shock and impact absorbers, dust and fluid filters, engine exhaust mufflers, porous electrodes, heat exchangers, sensors, and catalyst substrates. Porous and cellular metals and metallic foams should be now used to tackle engineering problems that are awaiting a solution. To enable this, it is crucial to bring together scientists and application engineers so that the ones developing and producing such materials know of the ones who could apply them and vice versa. This was the motivation for holding the International Conference on Porous Metals and Metal Foams (MetFoam). The past six international conferences of the MetFoam series have already contributed to the success of those materials. Previous conferences were held at Bremen (1999, 2001) and Berlin (2003), both in Germany, Kyoto (2005) in Japan, Montreal (2007) in Canada and Bratislava (2009) in Slovakia. The 7th International Conference (MetFoam 2011) was held in Busan, Korea in September 2011. Recent achievements in porous metals and metallic foams were extensively discussed there. This special issue of AEM contains a selection of the papers presented at MetFoam 2011. The principal purpose of the conference was to provide a state-of-the-art review of porous metals and metallic foams. This was achieved by encompassing papers dealing with basic fundamentals, fabrication, morphological, and microstructural characterization, property profiles, secondary operations, and various applications of porous metals and metallic foams. More than 200 papers were presented by a broad group of researchers and scientists representing universities, federal laboratories, and industries. The complete collection has been published in a book.1 It is our hope that this selection of more easily accessible papers provides a representative insight into the developments presented at MetFoam 2011.

It is also a reflection of the nature of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer which welcomes and encourages the participation of individuals from a wide range of professional backgrounds in its Conferences.

Preface

It is a privilege to act as the conference editor for this issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PAC) dedicated to the 12th Eurasia Conference on Chemical Sciences (EuAsC2S-12). The Eurasia Conferences on Chemical Sciences started in Bangkok in 1988 under the leadership of the founders, Bernd M. Rode (Austria), Hitoshi Ohtaki (Japan), and Ivano Bertini (Italy), together with Salag Dhabandana (Bangkok).During the preparation of the present issue of PAC, on 7 July 2012, Ivano Bertini, leading scientist in chemistry and biology, passed away. We will always remember him for his unselfish leadership and enormous contribution in paramagnetic NMR.The aim of the conferences is to foster friendship and exchange of knowledge between chemists in the Eurasian supercontinent as well as those in the Americas and Australia. While all previous conferences have been held in Asia or the Middle East, EuAsC2S-12 took place at the Hotel Corfu Chandris, on the island of Corfu, Greece, on 16-21 April 2012 with the aim of encouraging and enhancing the participation of European scientists and thus help to make them better known. EuAsC2S-12 was organized by the University of Ioannina on the Greek mainland with Emeritus Prof. Nick Hadjiliadis as Chair of the local organizing committee.The total number of participants was 450, with ca. 400 active delegates from 60 countries. The scientific program comprised 14 sessions, each of which was represented by invited speakers and further oral presentations on the following topics:- bioinorganic chemistry- pharmaceutical chemistry and drug design- organic synthesis and natural products- environmental and green chemistry- physical chemistry and spectroscopy- theoretical and computational chemistry- organometallic chemistry and catalysis- clinical biochemistry and molecular diagnostics- coordination chemistry and inorganic polymers- analytical and solution chemistry- supramolecular chemistry and nanomaterials- food chemistry- chemical education- polymer scienceThe scientific program, which was accompanied by a rich social activities program, included 9 plenary lectures, 214 oral presentations, and 190 poster presentations.The collection of 13 papers in this issue of PAC is a representation of the topics related to inorganic chemistry, covered in the lectures held during EuAsC2S-12. The papers represent a good cross-section of major themes ranging from traditional coordination chemistry, bio inorganic chemistry, supramolecular coordination chemistry, catalysis, and inorganic materials.The 13th Eurasia conference will be held in India in December 2014 with Prof. N. Jayaraman, Bangalore as head of the organizing committee.John C. PlakatourasConference Editor

In the Spotlight: Neuroengineering

Considering the high volume of publications and ever increasing attendance at the international conferences, including the 2012 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (IEEE EMBC 2012), Neuroengineering appears to be evolving as an independent discipline by itself. Continuing the legacy of the previous years' conferences, neuroengineering was one of the most represented topics at the IEEE EMBC 2012, held this year in San Diego, CA. Contributing to the interest were three workshops that focused on systems level concepts in neuroengineering: namely, Brain - Machine - Body Interfaces (led by Gert Cauwenberghs, University of California, San Diego), Brain Dynamics in Human Motor Control (led by David Peterson, University of California, San Diego) and Brain-Computer Interfaces and Electrocorticography (led by Robert Prueckl, Guger Technologies). These and other related works are briefly reviewed.

Programmatic Communication for Religious Peace in Nigeria: Lessons Learned from Indonesia

This article is a sustainable programmatic communication framework which links lessons from Indonesia in the era of the Laskar Jihadists (a militant Muslim faction) and “Boko Haram Sect “insurgence in Nigeria. The article verifies a previous peer group conference paper conceived at Ohio University in 2005. Original empirical data sets derived from authentic personal communication and professional instructions guided the translation of the lessons to realistic socio scientific knowledge. Social mobilization model was used to conceptualize this article. Security forces have not been able to control or prevent or adequately address religious conflict violence, peace and freedom in Indonesian and Nigerian. Programmatic communication campaign should be used to promote inter-religious peace and freedom in these countries’ contemporary relationships between Muslims and Christians.

Type-1.5 Superconductivity in Multiband and Other Multicomponent Systems

Usual superconductors are classified into two categories as follows: type-1 when the ratio of the magnetic field penetration length (\lambda) to coherence length (\xi) with Ginzburg-Landau parameter \kappa=\lambda/\xi <1/\sqrt{2} and type-2 when \kappa >1/\sqrt{2}. The boundary case \kappa =1/\sqrt{2} is also considered to be a special situation, frequently termed as "Bogomolnyi limit". Here we discuss multicomponent systems which can possess three or more fundamental length scales and allow a separate superconducting state, which was recently termed "type-1.5". In that state a system has the following hierarchy of coherence and penetration lengths \xi_1<\sqrt{2}\lambda<\xi_2. We also briefly overview the works on single-component regime $\kappa \approx 1/\sqrt{2}$ and comment on recent discussion by Brandt and Das in the proceedings of the previous conference in this series.

Multiprocessor schedulability of arbitrary-deadline sporadic tasks: complexity and antichain algorithm

Baker and Cirinei (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 4878, Springer, pp. 62---75, 2007) have introduced an exact but naive algorithm, that consists in solving a state reachability problem in a finite automaton, to check whether a set of sporadic hard real-time tasks is schedulable on an identical multiprocessor platform. However, this algorithm suffers from poor performance due to the exponential size of the automaton relative to the size of the task set. In this paper, we build on the work of Baker and Cirinei, and rely on their formalism to characterise the complexity of this problem. We prove that it is PSpace-complete. In order to obtain an algorithm that is applicable in practice to systems of realistic sizes, we successfully apply techniques developed by the formal verification community, specifically antichain techniques (Doyen and Raskin in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 6015, Springer, pp. 2---22, 2010) to this scheduling problem. For that purpose, we define and prove the correctness of a simulation relation on Baker and Cirinei's automaton. We show that our improved algorithm yields dramatically improved performance for the schedulability test and opens for many further improvements. This work is an extended and revised version of a previous conference paper by the same authors (Lindstrom et al., Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Real-Time and Network Systems (RTNS 2011), pp. 25---34, 2011).

Natural Environment in Paediatric Wards: Status and Implications

This paper investigated the current status, and implications specifically on the provisions of natural environment in paediatric wards of Malaysian public hospitals in the Klang Valley. The data was based on earlier findings about the general status and physical design trend of those wards, reported in previous conferences. The present findings revealed that there were indications on less satisfactory feelings amongst users on the provisions and accessibility to the natural environment. While such negative feelings would impact upon patients healing process, hence their Length of Stay (LOS), however, such correlation could not be determined in the present study.

A critical note on Aparecida and the future of the Catholic Church of Latin America

The conclusions of the Fifth Conference of Bishops of Latin America meeting in Aparecida in 2007 are entitled ‘Disciples and Missionaries of Jesus Christ.’ When analyzed in the light of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the traditional doctrines of soteriology, the sacraments, ecclesiology, and authority in the Church are missing; they are also missing in the conclusions of the previous conferences of Latin American bishops and in the Second African Synod. The conference of Medellin of 1968 had inaugurated the see-judge-act methodology, but it is missing in Aparecida. Also missing is a strong emphasis on social justice and structural sin, which are central to liberation theology. However, missionary discipleship is not just an ideal in Latin America; it is practiced through the Holy Popular Mission of Brazil and small communities in Guatemala. Hence the Catholic Church of Latin America is heading in a new direction. In this way, it is an example of a Church-type structure with some features of the sect type.

Conference Comments by the Editors

The SCINT series of conferences on Inorganic Scintillators and their Applications has provided, beginning in 1992, a regular platform for researchers from all over the world working in this field. This conference merges the aspects of basic science with application-related issues in the field of inorganic scintillators and phosphors and provides unique opportunities for both scientists and engineers to exchange their new results and ideas. Previous SCINT conferences were held first in Chamonix in 1992 and then in San Francisco, Delft, Shanghai, Moscow, Chamonix, Valencia, Alushta, Winston- Salem, and Jeju Island in Korea in 2009. The most recent, the 11th International Conference on Inorganic Scintillators and their Applications (SCINT 2011), was held at the Science Campus of Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, September 11-16, 2011. There were a total 187 scientific contributions, 82 oral presentations, 19 invited talks, and 105 poster exhibitions presented by 235 participants from 24 different countries. For the first time, a pre-conference tutorial was organized, which covered the basic physics of scintillation mechanisms as well as the wide field of applications. The purpose was mainly to educate students and newcomers in the field. This special issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE comprises the refereed proceedings of SCINT 2011, containing 61 papers on the research presentations.

ELECO-2011 is jointly organized by Uludag University, Bursa; Istanbul Technical University (ITU) and the Chamber of Turkish Electrical Engineers (EMO), Bursa Section. The IEEE-Turkey Section and The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) are co-sponsors of ELECO-2011. We are grateful to them for their contributions. Considering the broad scope of the technical program, it was probably the largest electrical and electronics engineering conference ever held in Turkey. The scope of the conference covers topics ranging over electric power systems, electrical machines and drives, power electronics, high voltage techniques, electrical materials, electronics, circuits and systems, signal processing, electromagnetics, antennas and propagation, microwave theory, communication systems, mechatronics, control theory, control applications, automation systems, robotics and intelligent control systems. This year 288 papers have been submitted for presentation and 166 papers have been accepted. If we look at the contributions with respect to geographical point of view, it is seen that ELECO’2011 contributions are coming from 19 different countries. Selected papers from previous international ELECO Conferences were invited to be published in extended form in special ELECO issues of international journals, under peer review. Two special ELECO issues appeared in the journal Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing containing selected papers from ELECO’2001 and ELECO’2007. Furthermore, four special ELECO issues appeared in the journal TJEECS: Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences where selected papers from ELECO’2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009 were published in extended form, respectively. This Special Issue on Selected Papers from ELECO’2011 contains extended versions of ten papers presented at the conference. Two papers are selected from invited talks given by world-known scientists during the conference. The other eight are chosen from regular submitted manuscripts. The paper by Yahya Lakys and Alain Fabre entitled ‘‘Multistandard Transceivers: State of the Art and a New Versatile Implementation for Fully Active Frequency Agile Filters’’ was presented at ELECO-2011 as an invited paper. In this paper various architectures of transceivers for current standards are firstly compared, different possibilities to achieve multi-standard transceivers are also recalled and compared.

Preface to the HTC 2012 special issue

This special issue contains fully reviewed papers, emanating from presentations given at high temperature capillarity (HTC) 2012. HTC 2012 was the seventh conference in this series, following conferences held in Athens, Greece (2009); Alicante, Spain (2007); Sanremo, Italy (2004); Kurashiki, Japan (2000); Krakow, Poland (1997); and Smolenice, Slovakia (1994). High temperature capillarity 2012 followed the format of previous HTC conferences, based on a single-session conference focused on invited lectures, selected submitted oral presentations, and a poster session running the duration of the conference which allowed for extended discussions. Topics included the surface energy of liquids and solids, the thermodynamics of wetting versus the kinetics of spreading, adsorption and complexions, solid–liquid and solid–solid interface morphology and structure, dewetting, capillarity at solid interfaces, the role of interfaces in processing, and surface stresses. In general, HTC 2012 included a series of presentations aimed at bridging the gap between atomistic versus continuum approaches to interfaces, and their role in HTC phenomena. The sequence of manuscripts in this special issue opens with three review papers. The first covers the topic of wetting of ceramics by silicon alloys [1], the second discusses our current understanding of dissolutive wetting [2], and the third explores wetting and joining of high temperature materials based on diborides [3]. The section containing full manuscripts opens with a paper describing a new software tool for simulating interface morphology [4], followed by a series of papers on interface thermodynamics [5–12], and non-reactive and reactive wetting systems [13–26]. This is followed by a series of papers exploring the use of sessile drop experiments, reactive wetting, and applied joining and processing. The organizers (N. Frage, E. Rabkin and W. D. Kaplan) would like to thank the HTC Scientific Committee and the 2012 Advisory Committee for their input and assistance. Special thanks are extended to the Joining and Welding Research Institute of Osaka University for supporting student participation in HTC, and to MACAN (an EU funded FP7 project) for supporting invited speakers. BenGurion University of the Negev and the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology are kindly acknowledged for supporting the participation of local students.

Preface: Phys. Status Solidi C 8–9/2012

AbstractThe 15th International Conference on II–VI Compounds was held in the Mayan Riviera located in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, on 21–26 August 2011. The meeting continued a series of biennial conferences, which was started in Durham, UK, in April of 1982. The previous conference was held in Saint‐Petersburg, Russia, in 2009. The 15th conference was organized by the Center for Research and Advanced Studies (Cinvestav‐IPN) whose main campus is in Mexico City. The conference site was located within the Cancun‐Tulum corridor called Mayan Riviera, where the majestic turquoise Caribbean Sea meets white, cool, soft sand beaches. All the attendants stayed in the same five‐star hotel, with all included services; these conditions contributed to create a stimulating and friendly atmosphere for the academic and the informal discussions.The conference was attended by around 125 delegates (and 30 accompanying persons) from 19 countries, including a significant participation of young researchers and around 30 postgraduate students. The largest delegations came from Japan, USA, Mexico, Germany, France, Poland and Russia. The program included 3 review lectures, 14 invited speakers, 39 oral contributions, 65 posters and one special session. All the invited and oral papers were presented. All the posters were displayed from Tuesday to Thursday to allow discussions at any time in addition to the formal poster presentations on Tuesday and Thursday. As a continuation of the Review Lectures Session started in Saint‐Petersburg, we had a session on Sunday afternoon with the participation of Thomas H. Myers (Texas State University, USA), Daniel Wolverson (Univ. of Bath, UK), and Joel Cibert (Institut Néel, CNRS‐Univ. Joseph Fourier, France). These proceedings, published in physica status solidi, include 39 reviewed papers from the conference presentations.The conference program contained topics of continuous interest and emerging ideas in physics, new materials, devices and technology of II–VI compounds which maintained full audience during all the sessions. Among them we had 1D polariton effects, non‐blinking nanocrystals, magnetic resonant tunneling devices, spin phenomena and spintronic devices. HgCdSe was introduced as the next generation infrared material; we had the presentation of new ideas related to zinc and other oxides, hybrid heterovalent II–VI/III–V structures and nanowire devices. Of great interest were the recent developments in II–VI light emitting devices such as pure green diode lasers, blue VCSELs, graded index waveguide lasers for color converters and nanowires with quantum dot insertions for single‐photon sources. Several papers dealt with recent progress in photovoltaics, including the new CuZnSnS (CZTS) materials for thin film solar cells and the platform of heterovalent nearly lattice‐matched 6.1 Å semiconductors.As a part of the conference we had a special session devoted to the memory of Prof. Jan Gaj (1943–2011), who was a passionate physicist and developed most of his academic carrier at the Department of Experimental Physics of the University of Warsaw. One of his most significant achievements was the seminal study of optical properties of cadmium manganese telluride, published in 1979, work that contributed to bring the diluted magnetic semiconductors to the attention of the scientific community. Most recently, his interest turned to self‐assembled quantum dots with Mn, where again he contributed with many pioneering conceptsThe Editor is very thankful to all the members of the International Advisory Committee and the International Program Committee for their stimulating support and advice during the organization of the conference. The Editor would like to thank the referees for their collaboration and the time dedicated to the review of the manuscripts. The organizers express their gratitude to the team of researchers and graduate students of the Group of Semiconductor Nanostructures (NanoSem) at the Physics Department of Cinvestav for their helpful and always enthusiastic collaboration before, during and after the conference. We are indebted to the sponsors of the conference mentioned in the following pages for their substantial support. We also thank Dr. Stefan Hildebrandt, Managing Editor of physica status solidi, and his excellent team for their friendly assistance and cooperation during the editorial process of these proceedings. The next International Conference on II–VI Compounds will be held in September 2013 in Nahagama, Shiga, Japan. We wish the organizers a gorgeous and successful meeting.
