The primary aim of this series of workshops is to assess the state-of-the-art and reliability of microbeam analysis techniques.
The workshops also provide a forum where students and young scientists starting out on careers in microbeam analysis can meet and discuss with the established experts. The workshops have a very distinct format comprising invited plenary lectures by internationally recognized experts, poster presentations by the participants and round table discussions on the key topics led by specialists in the field. The continuing relevance of the EMAS workshops and the high regard in which they are held internationally can be seen from the fact that 69 posters from 16 countries were on display at the meeting and that the participants came from as far away as Japan and the USA.
A number of participants with posters were invited to give short oral presentations of their work in two dedicated sessions. As at previous workshops there was also a special oral session for young scientists. Small cash prizes were awarded for the three best posters and for the best oral presentation by a young scientist.
The abstracts will be refereed by the International Scientific Committee and will be published, together with the text of the invited lectures, in the Book of Tutorials and Abstracts of the workshop. Martineau, I. X Please, log in. For more information about ICCO, please click here or contact us. Lifespan David Sinclair Inbunden. These invited lectures were given by eminent scientists from Europe, the USA, and Australia In addition to the introductory lectures there were poster sessions at which some posters were on display.
The prize for the best poster went to the contribution by G Tylko, S Dubchak, Z Banach and K Turnau, entitled Monte Carlo simulation for an assessment of standard validity and quantitative X-ray microanalysis in plant. Joanna Wojewoda-Budka of the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science, Krakow, received the prize for the best oral presentation by a young scientist for her talk entitled Application of focussed ion beam technique for TEM multilayer materials examination. This volume contains the full texts of 5 of the invited plenary lectures and of 24 papers on related topics originating from the posters presented at the workshop.
All the papers have been subjected to peer review by a least two referees. On behalf of the European Microbeam Analysis Society I would like to thank all the invited speakers, session chairs and members of the discussion panels for making the meeting such a great success. Special thanks go to Michal Zelechower and Luc Van't dack who directed the organisation of the workshop giving freely of their time and talents.
Time will also be devoted to problem orientated applications in material science, geological science, environmental studies, astrophysics, microelectronics, forensics, cultural heritage and archaeology, nanomaterials, surfaces and interfaces, catalysts, sensors, …. Our round-table discussions are panel discussions taking place at the end of each scientific session on a main topic.
They are moderated by a leading expert, assisted by the invited speakers of the corresponding session. The idea is to stimulate the exchange of information and experience among the participants on a number of important problems in microbeam techniques. Such activities need careful preparation, both with regard to structure and subjects. Therefore, we would kindly request you to complete the discussion questionnaire on the on-line registration page.
If you have specific questions, these can also be mentioned in 'Other suggestions' on the questionnaire. Brief presentations or contributions to the round-table discussions are encouraged please contact the round-table chairperson at the beginning of the Workshop.
Poster contributions are welcome on subjects within the scope of the workshop see Scope. The abstracts will be refereed by the International Scientific Committee and will be published, together with the text of the invited lectures, in the Book of Tutorials and Abstracts of the workshop.
