Call for Papers: 2nd International Conference on Life Science & Biological Engineering (LS&BE 2013)

7-9 November, 2013 Osaka, Japan 

The 2nd International Conference on Life Science & Biological Engineering (LS&BE 2013) will be held in Osaka, Japan during November 7-9, 2013. The aim objective of LS&BE 2013 is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in Networking and Digital Society. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.

All the submitted papers in these proceedings have been peer reviewed by at least two reviewers drawn from the chairs of committees depending on the subject matter of the paper. Reviewing and initial selection were undertaken electronically. A joint committee meeting was held to resolve the final paper selection and a draft programme for the conference.

Call for Papers: International Osteopathy Congress – 1st Edition

15th-17th of November 2013 Milan, Italy

Deadline for abstract submission: July 1st, 2013

The Istituto Superiore di Osteopatia - ISO of Milan and the Istituto Osteopatia Milano - SOMA are pleased to invite you to the first edition of the International Osteopathy Congress, which will be held at the Humanitas Congress Centre in Milan from the 15th to the 17th of November 2013.

It will be a stimulating meeting during which there will be the opportunity to meet leading experts in functional anatomy related to clinical disorders and osteopaths among the most active in research correlated to osteopathic practice. In addition you will have the exciting opportunity to find and talk to several professionals specialized in manipulative manual therapy and medicine.

We have pleasure in inviting you to participate in the program of the International Osteopathy Congress – 1st Edition, by submitting a paper to contribute to sustain and enhance the high level of scientific presentations of the expected preliminary program.

Topics

The Scientific Committee will accept papers about the theme of the conference: the biomechanical model of structure-function relationships that guide the osteopathic approach to diagnosis and treatment.

Studies on the the following topics will be taken into account:

Functional anatomy

Fascia

Biomechanics

Posture

Somatic dysfunction

Palpation diagnosis, validity, reliability

Manipulation and manual therapy: outcomes, efficacy

Structural diagnosis and osteopathic manipulative treatment of the musculoskeletal system: outcomes, effectiveness

Prevention and education

Structure-function relationships in the biomedical and biomechanics field

Call for Abstracts: 5th International Conference on Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues

December 8-12, 2013 Sitges, Spain

Abstract Submission Deadline:  31 May 2013

Abstracts should be submitted using the online abstract submission system.

Join us at the 5th International Conference on Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues, reviewing the very latest on the mechanics of biological, natural and biologically inspired materials, and those materials used to replace them in the human body.

The conference provides an excellent forum for the discussion of the experimental, computational and theoretical studies of deformation and fracture behavior in biological, natural and replacement materials, and the role mechanical properties play in physiological and disease conditions. A core theme will be how lessons learnt in the study of engineering materials can be made relevant to the study of biomaterials, and how this can help us to develop models for biological processes, new methods for diagnosing and treating diseases, and the design of novel materials.

This conference focuses on all scales, integrating microscopic to macroscopic levels and includes work at the nanoscale such as the mechanics of molecules such as protein and DNA, used to find solutions to critical questions at the interface of engineering and medicine.

Conference Chair
Markus J. Buehler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA

Topic List

Hard tissues and materials (e.g. bone, teeth, mineralized biomaterials such as armors)

Soft tissues and materials (e.g. cartilage, tendon, silk, elastin, organs)

Natural, biologically inspired and biomimetic materials (including biomimicking materials)

Metals and ceramics as biomaterials

Mechanobiology (development, physiology and disease)

Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering

Multiscale modelling and simulation of tissue mechanical properties (e.g. ab initio approaches, molecular dynamics, coarse-graining, finite element modeling, fluid-structure interactions)

Multiscale experimental characterization of tissue mechanical properties (e.g. AFM, TEM, nanoindentation, optical tweezers, x-ray diffraction, in situ methods)

Hierarchical polymer materials and composites (e.g. dental ceramics and fibre-reinforced composites)

Self-assembly of biological and biomaterials (e.g. peptides, DNA, polymers, nanoparticles, hierarchical structures)

Tribology, friction and wear as well as fatigue

Materials failure in physiologically extreme conditions and disease (e.g. infectious disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease)

Call for Abstracts: IOC World Conference on Prevention and Injury & Illness in Sport

April 10-12, 2014 Monaco

Deadline: 1 November 2013

The IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury & Illness in Sport will provide the world’s leading sports medicine experts with an opportunity to present their work to an international audience of physicians, therapists, scientists and coaches.
