>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jeff Owens) >Subject: [ecopath] Bio-Systems Conference >Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 10:08:54 -0700 > >Preliminary Announcement (June 1999) > >Internet Conference on Material Flow Analysis of Integrated Bio-Systems >( http://segate.sunet.se/archives/et-w11.html ) > >The Conference will be an online conference in 2000 and to be organised by >the Institute of Advanced Studies of the United Nations University (Tokyo) >and the Integrated Bio-Systems Network >(http://www.ias.unu.edu/proceedings/icibs/ibs), in cooperation with other >organizations. It aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, >developers and policy makers involved in the application of >integrated bio-systems for resource utilisation, and waste management and >treatment in industry, agriculture, fisheries, and environmental and urban >planning. The Conference is a follow-up of the 1998 Internet Conference on >Integrated Bio-Systems (http://www.ias.unu.edu/proceedings/icibs) and will >encourage discussions on material/substance flow/balance of a wide variety >of integrated bio-systems. > >Material flows involve the quantification of substances/wastes/nutrients >and energy that are being exchanged between sub-systems of nature and >society. Information that is generated from such studies can be very useful >for a number of purposes; e.g. to optimize or make bio-systems more robust >to changes; for improvement and development of waste management systems by >cities; minimisation of raw material utilisation in industry, >decision-making and planning of complex systems, life cycle and >environmental impact assessments, problem solving in tracing sources of >environmental problems, discover potential future problems, and they also >form a basis for regulation in material handling, prediction of >effectiveness of pollution abatement measures, identification of technical >development and research needs, etc. . > >The scope of the conference is currently being defined by a planning group. >If you wish to join this planning group, please send your self-introduction >with information on your work and publications (if available) to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] . A future announcement on the "Call of Abstracts" will >provide more specific themes and topics for the Internet Conference. > >Future announcements, scientific programme and funds for authors and >participant groups will be made via the mailing list ET-W11. > >REGISTRATION >To receive further information and update on conference activities, please >register : >- via http://segate.sunet.se/archives/et-w11.html >- or send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and use the subscription >command: >SUB ET-W11 yourfirstname yourlastname, organization >e.g. SUB ET-W11 Ted Tschang, UNU/IAS-Tokyo > >For personal help in registration, contact: >Mr. Jacky Foo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > ___________________________________________________________________ Mulai langganan: "subscribe envorum" ke [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stop langganan: "unsubscribe envorum" ke [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arsip di http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] atau di http://www.egroups.com/list/envorum
