Best regards, Yasuhiro Takeuchi The 2nd International Symposium on Dynamical Systems Theory and Its Applications to Biology and Environmental Sciences March 14-17, 2007 in Hamamatsu city campus of Shizuoka University, Japan. Symposium Objectives Dynamical system theory in mathematical biology and envionmental science has been attracted much attention from many scientific fields as well as mathematics. Mathematicians should establish a mathematical basis on the various problems appeared in dynamical systems of biology and feed back their work to biology and environmental sciences. Biologists and environmental scientists should clarify/build the model systems that are important in the global biological and environmental problems of their own. The purpose of "The International Symposium on Dynamical Systems Theory and Its Applications to Biology and Environmental Sciences" is to discuss many interests on the rich properties of dynamical systems appeared in biology and environmental sciences. The symposium constitutes of the lectures by about 20 eminent mathematical biologists and contributed oral or poster sessions. Asian contributors are especially welcome to the symposium. http://moon.sys.eng.shizuoka.ac.jp/~dst-sympo2nd/ Collections of papers based on the presentations may appear as special issues of international journals. We already have agreements with Journal of Biological Dynamics.

Written applications should be submitted to the dean's office of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna, Nordbergstrasse 15, A-1090 Vienna, Austria, in addition as well electronically in a pdf-file to dekanat.mathematik@univie.ac.at by October 20, 2006, quoting the respective reference number. Please include the following supporting documentation in your application: __ curriculum vitae __ list of publications __ outline of research and teaching activities __ concept of the projected function The University of Vienna seeks to increase the percentage of female employees, in particular in leading positions and within its scientific staff, and thus explicitly encourages qualified women to apply for the position mentioned above. The University of Vienna follows a policy of positive discrimination and as such if equally qualified, preference will be given to female applicants. The closing date for applications is October 20, 2006. ------ Subject: Contents, Nonlinearity 19:8 From: Liz Martin Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 16:37:50 +0100 NONLINEARITY Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2006 All articles are free for 30 days after publication on the web.
