Origins Of Solar Systems 2009 |
| Jul 5-10, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| The 2009 Gordon Conference on the Origins of Solar Systems will present current research on the formation of stars and planets. We will bring together astronomers, planetary scientists and meteoriticists to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to this topic, and will mix scientists from different disciplines within the sessions. The speakers will all be very active leaders in their fields. There have been many exciting recent discoveries on this topic, including analyses of returned cometary material (from the NASA Stardust mission), and new information about the composition of the Sun. Detections of new exoplanets from the Kepler and CoRoT missions are expected soon. An abundance of new data on planets is now inspiring the development of novel models for the formation, evolution and structure of planetary systems both in our own solar system and beyond. All of these issues will be discussed at the 2009 Conference. |
Clusters, Nanocrystals & Nanostructures 2009 |
| Jul 19-24, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| For over thirty years, this Gordon Conference has been the premiere meeting for the field of cluster science, which studies the phenomena that arise when matter becomes small. During its history, participants have witnessed the discovery and development of many novel materials, including C60, carbon nanotubes, semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, and nanowires. In addition to addressing fundamental scientific questions related to these materials, the meeting has always included a discussion of their potential applications. Consequently, this conference has played a critical role in the birth and growth of nanoscience and engineering. The goal of the 2009 Gordon Conference is to continue the forward-looking tradition of this meeting and discuss the most recent advances in the field of clusters, nanocrystals, and nanostructures. As in past meetings, this will include new topics that broaden the field. In particular, a special emphasis will be placed on nanomaterials related to the efficient use, generation, or conversion of energy. For example, we anticipate presentations related to batteries, catalysts, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. In addition, we expect to address the controversy surrounding carrier multiplication with a session in which recent results addressing this phenomenon will be discu |
Quantum Control Of Light And Matter 2009 |
| Aug 2-7, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| Quantum control is the application of controlled coherent interactions to direct the dynamics of quantum systems. Usually this involves the use of coherent laser radiation to reach a desired target state of the system. The idea that coherence can be used as a tool for control on the quantum scale has origins in chemical dynamics, nonlinear optics, and laser spectroscopy, but the impact is now being felt in many areas of physics and chemistry. The objective of the conference is to discuss recent experimental and theoretical results and show perspectives for future development, with special emphasis on the following topics: * Principles of coherent control of quantum phenomena in atomic, molecular and condense matter physics * Optimal control theory and algorithms |

| Several epidemiologic studies indicate that there may be a risk of cancer from use of chlorinated tap water. However, to-date, the health effects observed in single-chemical animal toxicity studies (primarily liver cancer) have not been able to explain the effects observed in the human epidemiologic studies (primarily bladder cancer). More recent epidemiologic studies have focused on reproductive and developmental effects. And, although there have been associations observed between chlorinated tap water and these effects, it is not known which chemicals / disinfection by-products (DBPs) in the water may be responsible. Also, because previous toxicological research has focused on single chemical testing, it is not known how the complex mixture of DBPs (typically more than 300 chemicals) affects the overall toxicity and human health risk assessments (are the effects additive or non-additive?). The aim of this conference is to have the latest DBP occurrence and formation, treatment, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology research presented to continue the dialog between chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and engineers in this area, and integrate epidemiologic, toxicology, exposure, and occurrence and formation studies so that this important human exposure issue may be solved. |

The aim of this conference is to have the latest DBP occurrence and formation, treatment, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology research presented to continue the dialog between chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and engineers in this area, and integrate epidemiologic, toxicology, exposure, and occurrence and formation studies so that this important human exposure issue may be solved. |
Origins Of Solar Systems 2009 |
| Jul 5-10, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| The 2009 Gordon Conference on the Origins of Solar Systems will present current research on the formation of stars and planets. We will bring together astronomers, planetary scientists and meteoriticists to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to this topic, and will mix scientists from different disciplines within the sessions. The speakers will all be very active leaders in their fields. There have been many exciting recent discoveries on this topic, including analyses of returned cometary material (from the NASA Stardust mission), and new information about the composition of the Sun. Detections of new exoplanets from the Kepler and CoRoT missions are expected soon. An abundance of new data on planets is now inspiring the development of novel models for the formation, evolution and structure of planetary systems both in our own solar system and beyond. All of these issues will be discussed at the 2009 Conference. |
Clusters, Nanocrystals & Nanostructures 2009 |
| Jul 19-24, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| For over thirty years, this Gordon Conference has been the premiere meeting for the field of cluster science, which studies the phenomena that arise when matter becomes small. During its history, participants have witnessed the discovery and development of many novel materials, including C60, carbon nanotubes, semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, and nanowires. In addition to addressing fundamental scientific questions related to these materials, the meeting has always included a discussion of their potential applications. Consequently, this conference has played a critical role in the birth and growth of nanoscience and engineering. The goal of the 2009 Gordon Conference is to continue the forward-looking tradition of this meeting and discuss the most recent advances in the field of clusters, nanocrystals, and nanostructures. As in past meetings, this will include new topics that broaden the field. In particular, a special emphasis will be placed on nanomaterials related to the efficient use, generation, or conversion of energy. For example, we anticipate presentations related to batteries, catalysts, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. In addition, we expect to address the controversy surrounding carrier multiplication with a session in which recent results addressing this phenomenon will be discu |
Quantum Control Of Light And Matter 2009 |
| Aug 2-7, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| Quantum control is the application of controlled coherent interactions to direct the dynamics of quantum systems. Usually this involves the use of coherent laser radiation to reach a desired target state of the system. The idea that coherence can be used as a tool for control on the quantum scale has origins in chemical dynamics, nonlinear optics, and laser spectroscopy, but the impact is now being felt in many areas of physics and chemistry. The objective of the conference is to discuss recent experimental and theoretical results and show perspectives for future development, with special emphasis on the following topics: * Principles of coherent control of quantum phenomena in atomic, molecular and condense matter physics * Optimal control theory and algorithms |

The aim of this conference is to have the latest DBP occurrence and formation, treatment, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology research presented to continue the dialog between chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and engineers in this area, and integrate epidemiologic, toxicology, exposure, and occurrence and formation studies so that this important human exposure issue may be solved. |
Origins Of Solar Systems 2009 |
| Jul 5-10, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| The 2009 Gordon Conference on the Origins of Solar Systems will present current research on the formation of stars and planets. We will bring together astronomers, planetary scientists and meteoriticists to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to this topic, and will mix scientists from different disciplines within the sessions. The speakers will all be very active leaders in their fields. There have been many exciting recent discoveries on this topic, including analyses of returned cometary material (from the NASA Stardust mission), and new information about the composition of the Sun. Detections of new exoplanets from the Kepler and CoRoT missions are expected soon. An abundance of new data on planets is now inspiring the development of novel models for the formation, evolution and structure of planetary systems both in our own solar system and beyond. All of these issues will be discussed at the 2009 Conference. |
Clusters, Nanocrystals & Nanostructures 2009 |
| Jul 19-24, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| For over thirty years, this Gordon Conference has been the premiere meeting for the field of cluster science, which studies the phenomena that arise when matter becomes small. During its history, participants have witnessed the discovery and development of many novel materials, including C60, carbon nanotubes, semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, and nanowires. In addition to addressing fundamental scientific questions related to these materials, the meeting has always included a discussion of their potential applications. Consequently, this conference has played a critical role in the birth and growth of nanoscience and engineering. The goal of the 2009 Gordon Conference is to continue the forward-looking tradition of this meeting and discuss the most recent advances in the field of clusters, nanocrystals, and nanostructures. As in past meetings, this will include new topics that broaden the field. In particular, a special emphasis will be placed on nanomaterials related to the efficient use, generation, or conversion of energy. For example, we anticipate presentations related to batteries, catalysts, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. In addition, we expect to address the controversy surrounding carrier multiplication with a session in which recent results addressing this phenomenon will be discu |
Quantum Control Of Light And Matter 2009 |
| Aug 2-7, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| Quantum control is the application of controlled coherent interactions to direct the dynamics of quantum systems. Usually this involves the use of coherent laser radiation to reach a desired target state of the system. The idea that coherence can be used as a tool for control on the quantum scale has origins in chemical dynamics, nonlinear optics, and laser spectroscopy, but the impact is now being felt in many areas of physics and chemistry. The objective of the conference is to discuss recent experimental and theoretical results and show perspectives for future development, with special emphasis on the following topics: * Principles of coherent control of quantum phenomena in atomic, molecular and condense matter physics * Optimal control theory and algorithms |

The aim of this conference is to have the latest DBP occurrence and formation, treatment, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology research presented to continue the dialog between chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and engineers in this area, and integrate epidemiologic, toxicology, exposure, and occurrence and formation studies so that this important human exposure issue may be solved. |
Origins Of Solar Systems 2009 |
| Jul 5-10, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| The 2009 Gordon Conference on the Origins of Solar Systems will present current research on the formation of stars and planets. We will bring together astronomers, planetary scientists and meteoriticists to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to this topic, and will mix scientists from different disciplines within the sessions. The speakers will all be very active leaders in their fields. There have been many exciting recent discoveries on this topic, including analyses of returned cometary material (from the NASA Stardust mission), and new information about the composition of the Sun. Detections of new exoplanets from the Kepler and CoRoT missions are expected soon. An abundance of new data on planets is now inspiring the development of novel models for the formation, evolution and structure of planetary systems both in our own solar system and beyond. All of these issues will be discussed at the 2009 Conference. |
Clusters, Nanocrystals & Nanostructures 2009 |
| Jul 19-24, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| For over thirty years, this Gordon Conference has been the premiere meeting for the field of cluster science, which studies the phenomena that arise when matter becomes small. During its history, participants have witnessed the discovery and development of many novel materials, including C60, carbon nanotubes, semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, and nanowires. In addition to addressing fundamental scientific questions related to these materials, the meeting has always included a discussion of their potential applications. Consequently, this conference has played a critical role in the birth and growth of nanoscience and engineering. The goal of the 2009 Gordon Conference is to continue the forward-looking tradition of this meeting and discuss the most recent advances in the field of clusters, nanocrystals, and nanostructures. As in past meetings, this will include new topics that broaden the field. In particular, a special emphasis will be placed on nanomaterials related to the efficient use, generation, or conversion of energy. For example, we anticipate presentations related to batteries, catalysts, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. In addition, we expect to address the controversy surrounding carrier multiplication with a session in which recent results addressing this phenomenon will be discu |
Quantum Control Of Light And Matter 2009 |
| Aug 2-7, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| Quantum control is the application of controlled coherent interactions to direct the dynamics of quantum systems. Usually this involves the use of coherent laser radiation to reach a desired target state of the system. The idea that coherence can be used as a tool for control on the quantum scale has origins in chemical dynamics, nonlinear optics, and laser spectroscopy, but the impact is now being felt in many areas of physics and chemistry. The objective of the conference is to discuss recent experimental and theoretical results and show perspectives for future development, with special emphasis on the following topics: * Principles of coherent control of quantum phenomena in atomic, molecular and condense matter physics * Optimal control theory and algorithms |

The aim of this conference is to have the latest DBP occurrence and formation, treatment, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology research presented to continue the dialog between chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and engineers in this area, and integrate epidemiologic, toxicology, exposure, and occurrence and formation studies so that this important human exposure issue may be solved. |
Origins Of Solar Systems 2009 |
| Jul 5-10, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| The 2009 Gordon Conference on the Origins of Solar Systems will present current research on the formation of stars and planets. We will bring together astronomers, planetary scientists and meteoriticists to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to this topic, and will mix scientists from different disciplines within the sessions. The speakers will all be very active leaders in their fields. There have been many exciting recent discoveries on this topic, including analyses of returned cometary material (from the NASA Stardust mission), and new information about the composition of the Sun. Detections of new exoplanets from the Kepler and CoRoT missions are expected soon. An abundance of new data on planets is now inspiring the development of novel models for the formation, evolution and structure of planetary systems both in our own solar system and beyond. All of these issues will be discussed at the 2009 Conference. |
Clusters, Nanocrystals & Nanostructures 2009 |
| Jul 19-24, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| For over thirty years, this Gordon Conference has been the premiere meeting for the field of cluster science, which studies the phenomena that arise when matter becomes small. During its history, participants have witnessed the discovery and development of many novel materials, including C60, carbon nanotubes, semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, and nanowires. In addition to addressing fundamental scientific questions related to these materials, the meeting has always included a discussion of their potential applications. Consequently, this conference has played a critical role in the birth and growth of nanoscience and engineering. The goal of the 2009 Gordon Conference is to continue the forward-looking tradition of this meeting and discuss the most recent advances in the field of clusters, nanocrystals, and nanostructures. As in past meetings, this will include new topics that broaden the field. In particular, a special emphasis will be placed on nanomaterials related to the efficient use, generation, or conversion of energy. For example, we anticipate presentations related to batteries, catalysts, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. In addition, we expect to address the controversy surrounding carrier multiplication with a session in which recent results addressing this phenomenon will be discu |
Quantum Control Of Light And Matter 2009 |
| Aug 2-7, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| Quantum control is the application of controlled coherent interactions to direct the dynamics of quantum systems. Usually this involves the use of coherent laser radiation to reach a desired target state of the system. The idea that coherence can be used as a tool for control on the quantum scale has origins in chemical dynamics, nonlinear optics, and laser spectroscopy, but the impact is now being felt in many areas of physics and chemistry. The objective of the conference is to discuss recent experimental and theoretical results and show perspectives for future development, with special emphasis on the following topics: * Principles of coherent control of quantum phenomena in atomic, molecular and condense matter physics * Optimal control theory and algorithms |

The aim of this conference is to have the latest DBP occurrence and formation, treatment, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology research presented to continue the dialog between chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and engineers in this area, and integrate epidemiologic, toxicology, exposure, and occurrence and formation studies so that this important human exposure issue may be solved. |
Origins Of Solar Systems 2009 |
| Jul 5-10, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| The 2009 Gordon Conference on the Origins of Solar Systems will present current research on the formation of stars and planets. We will bring together astronomers, planetary scientists and meteoriticists to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to this topic, and will mix scientists from different disciplines within the sessions. The speakers will all be very active leaders in their fields. There have been many exciting recent discoveries on this topic, including analyses of returned cometary material (from the NASA Stardust mission), and new information about the composition of the Sun. Detections of new exoplanets from the Kepler and CoRoT missions are expected soon. An abundance of new data on planets is now inspiring the development of novel models for the formation, evolution and structure of planetary systems both in our own solar system and beyond. All of these issues will be discussed at the 2009 Conference. |
Clusters, Nanocrystals & Nanostructures 2009 |
| Jul 19-24, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| For over thirty years, this Gordon Conference has been the premiere meeting for the field of cluster science, which studies the phenomena that arise when matter becomes small. During its history, participants have witnessed the discovery and development of many novel materials, including C60, carbon nanotubes, semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, and nanowires. In addition to addressing fundamental scientific questions related to these materials, the meeting has always included a discussion of their potential applications. Consequently, this conference has played a critical role in the birth and growth of nanoscience and engineering. The goal of the 2009 Gordon Conference is to continue the forward-looking tradition of this meeting and discuss the most recent advances in the field of clusters, nanocrystals, and nanostructures. As in past meetings, this will include new topics that broaden the field. In particular, a special emphasis will be placed on nanomaterials related to the efficient use, generation, or conversion of energy. For example, we anticipate presentations related to batteries, catalysts, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. In addition, we expect to address the controversy surrounding carrier multiplication with a session in which recent results addressing this phenomenon will be discu |
Quantum Control Of Light And Matter 2009 |
| Aug 2-7, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| Quantum control is the application of controlled coherent interactions to direct the dynamics of quantum systems. Usually this involves the use of coherent laser radiation to reach a desired target state of the system. The idea that coherence can be used as a tool for control on the quantum scale has origins in chemical dynamics, nonlinear optics, and laser spectroscopy, but the impact is now being felt in many areas of physics and chemistry. The objective of the conference is to discuss recent experimental and theoretical results and show perspectives for future development, with special emphasis on the following topics: * Principles of coherent control of quantum phenomena in atomic, molecular and condense matter physics * Optimal control theory and algorithms |

The aim of this conference is to have the latest DBP occurrence and formation, treatment, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology research presented to continue the dialog between chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and engineers in this area, and integrate epidemiologic, toxicology, exposure, and occurrence and formation studies so that this important human exposure issue may be solved. |
Origins Of Solar Systems 2009 |
| Jul 5-10, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| The 2009 Gordon Conference on the Origins of Solar Systems will present current research on the formation of stars and planets. We will bring together astronomers, planetary scientists and meteoriticists to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to this topic, and will mix scientists from different disciplines within the sessions. The speakers will all be very active leaders in their fields. There have been many exciting recent discoveries on this topic, including analyses of returned cometary material (from the NASA Stardust mission), and new information about the composition of the Sun. Detections of new exoplanets from the Kepler and CoRoT missions are expected soon. An abundance of new data on planets is now inspiring the development of novel models for the formation, evolution and structure of planetary systems both in our own solar system and beyond. All of these issues will be discussed at the 2009 Conference. |
Clusters, Nanocrystals & Nanostructures 2009 |
| Jul 19-24, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| For over thirty years, this Gordon Conference has been the premiere meeting for the field of cluster science, which studies the phenomena that arise when matter becomes small. During its history, participants have witnessed the discovery and development of many novel materials, including C60, carbon nanotubes, semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, and nanowires. In addition to addressing fundamental scientific questions related to these materials, the meeting has always included a discussion of their potential applications. Consequently, this conference has played a critical role in the birth and growth of nanoscience and engineering. The goal of the 2009 Gordon Conference is to continue the forward-looking tradition of this meeting and discuss the most recent advances in the field of clusters, nanocrystals, and nanostructures. As in past meetings, this will include new topics that broaden the field. In particular, a special emphasis will be placed on nanomaterials related to the efficient use, generation, or conversion of energy. For example, we anticipate presentations related to batteries, catalysts, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. In addition, we expect to address the controversy surrounding carrier multiplication with a session in which recent results addressing this phenomenon will be discu |
Quantum Control Of Light And Matter 2009 |
| Aug 2-7, 2009 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley Massachusetts United States |
| Quantum control is the application of controlled coherent interactions to direct the dynamics of quantum systems. Usually this involves the use of coherent laser radiation to reach a desired target state of the system. The idea that coherence can be used as a tool for control on the quantum scale has origins in chemical dynamics, nonlinear optics, and laser spectroscopy, but the impact is now being felt in many areas of physics and chemistry. The objective of the conference is to discuss recent experimental and theoretical results and show perspectives for future development, with special emphasis on the following topics: * Principles of coherent control of quantum phenomena in atomic, molecular and condense matter physics * Optimal control theory and algorithms |

| Several epidemiologic studies indicate that there may be a risk of cancer from use of chlorinated tap water. However, to-date, the health effects observed in single-chemical animal toxicity studies (primarily liver cancer) have not been able to explain the effects observed in the human epidemiologic studies (primarily bladder cancer). More recent epidemiologic studies have focused on reproductive and developmental effects. And, although there have been associations observed between chlorinated tap water and these effects, it is not known which chemicals / disinfection by-products (DBPs) in the water may be responsible.
