THERE IS GROWING INTERNATIONAL CONCERN related to the possibility that gadolinium-containing MRI agents are or may be associated with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is known to be a rare multisystem fibrosis disorder that primarily affects the skin but may affect other organs of patients with renal insufficiencies. The opinions expressed in recent publications vary related to the determination of whether intravenous gadolinium-containing MR agents are definitely, possibly, or conditionally associated with the development of NSF. The literature has a range of opinions, a few of which are described here. A recent article in the American Journal of Roentgenology concludes that the development of NSF is strongly associated with gadodiamide administration in the clinical setting of either acute hepatorenal syndrome or dialysis-dependent chronic renal insufficiency (1). A different opinion, stated in the guest editorial published in this issue, stresses that the exposure to gadolinium-containing agents is not currently a proven prerequisite for the onset of NSF (2). Also, in their recent review of 3D contrast-enhanced MR angiography, Zhang et al (3) suggest that gadolinium-based contrast agents do not pose a risk for nephrotoxicity. However, in a letter to the editor that is currently in press with JMRI (4), this suggestion has been challenged. The authors of the letter to the editor note that gadolinium-based contrast agents might induce NSF, a newly identified, debilitating, and potentially fatal disorder (5) in patients with renal insufficiencies. They urge practitioners to stay updated about this emerging disorder and to follow appropriate recommendations. In an article published in this issue, Lin and Brown (6) state that the causal link between high dose gadolinium-containing agents and NSF has not been proven. That article refers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendation that cautious use of any gadolinium in patients with advanced renal failure be applied. This article also recommends that if contrast-enhanced MR examination is necessary, the dose should be limited and dialysis should be promptly performed (7). In addition, the American College of Radiology has just issued guidelines for the utilization of gadolinium-containing MRI contrast agents in patients with renal disease (8). Clearly, consensus is needed concerning the risks and recommended safety guidelines for contrast-enhanced MRI studies. Through JMRI and the society, ISMRM, and its members whom we serve, we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to communicate new and accurate information. This can involve maintaining a balance between disseminating reports with documented credibility related to any MRI issue—including contrast enhancement—while not prematurely raising anxiety with data that are or may be currently incomplete or evolving. With the goal of achieving this balance, JMRI is pleased to participate in and enable peer review for scientific articles and data that result from the special round table discussion and poster session that have been developed for the annual ISMRM/ESMRMB meeting in Berlin on the topic of the potential causal relationship between gadolinium-containing MRI agents and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). The round table discussion is scheduled for Tuesday, May 22, 13:30–15:30 hours, and the poster session is scheduled for Thursday, May 24, 14:50–15:30 hours. We anticipate reviewing and potentially publishing in JMRI a summary of conclusions and recommendations that come from these sessions, together with peer-reviewed, revised, and accepted scientific papers on the subject, which we hope to group together in a special section, or possibly in a special issue of JMRI. I encourage each interested ISMRM member's active participation in dialogue related to this topic, including the round table discussion and poster session in Berlin this month. Letters to the editor are welcome! Together we seek the finest scientific data and the finest clinical investigations that can result in appropriate guidelines or boundary conditions for the safe utilization of gadolinium-containing MRI contrast agents in all patients, especially those with severe renal disease.

The 13th (EC) 2 meeting was held at the University of Bologna, 13-14 December 2002, with the theme Model Selection and Evaluation.This collection of papers originates from that conference.(EC) 2 is an acronym for European Conference of the Econom(etr)ics Community, focusing on Econometrics and Quantitative Economics.The programme chair for this meeting was Niels Haldrup with Herman K. van Dijk acting as co-chairman and with Renzo Orsi as the local organizer.The series of (EC) 2 conferences was established in 1990, and each is organized about a particular theme, taking place over 2 days.Originally the conferences were intended to be relatively small in scale with no parallel sessions.To give as many participants as possible a chance to present their work, two poster sessions are also included.Given the success of the meetings, there has been an increasing number of participants at the conferences.In Bologna, there were almost 150 registered participants, and because of the growing interest in (EC) 2 meetings it has become necessary to turn down more papers for presentation than we would like.Although around 130 papers were submitted for presentation, only 14 contributing (plus four invited) papers were presented in the plenary programme, with 35 papers in poster sessions.Over the years the popularity of the meetings has also attracted many more participants from outside Europe.At the 2002 Bologna meeting, there were participants from 20 countries, enhancing our forum for European researchers in 'Quantitative Economics and Econometrics'.The conference series also sought to provide a forum where junior participants and senior invited presenters could meet and discuss their research, and the meetings have proved very successful in this respect.In Bologna, five of the 18 papers in the plenary programme were presented by younger researchers who were also well represented in the poster sessions.This Bulletin special issue is on the same theme as the 2002 conference, namely Model Selection and Evaluation and includes 11 papers from the conference: merely page constraints precluded a larger selection of the papers from the conference.The papers reported here, after rigorous reviewing and

While poster sessions have been used in some academic areas as an alternative to traditional teaching techniques, their use in chemistry has generally been limited to the presentation of results of undergraduate research projects at professional conferences. This paper describes the use of poster sessions as a teaching tool in a junior level biochemistry course. Students were assigned the task of investigating a disease of their choice and then preparing and presenting a poster describing the molecular origin of the disease. The posters were evaluated by faculty members from various disciplines. The grade from the poster was equivalent to an exam. This paper describes the logistics and outcome of this alternative teaching method. This approach provided a student-driven educational experience. It provided the students the opportunity to acquire and demonstrate expertise in a particular disease of their choice and to receive immediate feedback regarding their effort in a one-on -one fashion. It also provided and educational experience and fostered a spirit of cooperation among those in attendance.

Welcome to Pittsburgh for ASSETS 2009, the Eleventh International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility. ASSETS is where the international research community comes together to share the latest and greatest advances in the use of technology to support and include everyone in society, regardless of age, disability or situational impairment. We are delighted to welcome Professor Rory Cooper of the University of Pittsburgh as our keynote speaker for 2009. He will discuss emerging applications of technology to promote independence of people with disabilities and support clinical practice. The technical program of 26 podium presentations and 25 posters and demonstrations has been selected through peer-review by a distinguished international program committee. The program committee had the very difficult job of shaping the program from the diverse set of very highquality submissions. The podium presentations were selected from 82 full-length submissions (32% acceptance rate) and have been organized into 8 themes. It is exciting that the papers touch on so many aspects of people's lives - from work to play, from communication to computer/information access, from education to navigation. The program committee was also involved in the poster and demonstration program, chaired by Harriet Fell. These 25 presentations were selected from 44 submissions. The posters and demonstrations provide an opportunity to showcase late-breaking results as well as work in progress and practical implementations. Posters and demonstrations and selected ACM Student Research Competition entries, chaired by Faustina Hwang, are represented by abstracts in these proceedings and in two poster sessions during the conference. The ACM Student Research Competition is sponsored by Microsoft. The winners will go on to compete in the ACM-wide grand finals, where ASSETS entrants have established a strong track record, including last year's overall winner in the graduate category. The poster sessions will also showcase the participants in the doctoral consortium. This one-day workshop preceding the main conference was chaired by Professor Richard Ladner and generously sponsored by the National Science Foundation. It brought together 12 young accessibility researchers to discuss their ideas with a panel of established experts. A special edition of the SIGACCESS newsletter will feature extended abstracts from these students. What better place than the City of Bridges to present this wealth of exciting new research ranging from traditional topics like computer and Web access, and evaluation methods, through to mobile devices, virtual environments, and social accessibility. One of the charms of the ASSETS conference series, with its single track format, broad program and friendly atmosphere, is that it reminds us of the sheer diversity of human experience. As technology penetrates further into everyday life, it has the power to enhance that experience in so many ways. We hope that the conference will leave you with a sense of this variety and promise, having built a few new bridges of your own.

The 22nd Russian Youth Conference on Physics of Semiconductors and Nanostructures, Opto- and Nanoelectronics (RYCPS) was held in Saint Petersburg on November 23 – 27, 2020. It was organized by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.The program of the Conference included semiconductor technology, heterostructures with quantum wells and quantum dots, opto- and nanoelectronic devices and new materials. Given the restrictions on meetings of a large number of people associated with COVID-19, the conference organizing committee decided to hold it in a virtual format. The oral sessions were held on the Zoom platform, and the poster session was organized using the Miro online whiteboard and the Skype platform. This provided an opportunity for valuable discussions between the conference participants and experienced scientists.The conference included two invited talks given by leading scientists, devoted to actual problems and major advances in physics and technology. The keynote speakers were Mikhail Nestoklon from Ioffe Institute (presentation “Fine structure of excitons in quantum dots based on Pb chalcogenides”) and Sergey Kukushkin from Institute of Problems of Mechanical Engineering (presentation “A new method of controlled synthesis of nanomaterials for micro- and optoelectronics. Thermodynamics and kinetics of nanoscale synthesis of single-crystal silicon carbide on silicon and its unique properties”). Students, graduate and postgraduate students presented their results on plenary and poster sessions. The total number of accepted papers published in Russian (the official conference language) was 105. Here we publish 24 of them in English.Like previous years, the participants were involved in the competition for the best report. Certificates and cash prizes were awarded to a number of participants for the presentations selected by the Program Committee. Aidar Galimov, a postgraduate student at Ioffe Institute (Saint Petersburg), received the E.F. Gross Prize for the best presentation in the field of semiconductor optics for the report “Investigation of the single photons indistinguishability in InAs/GaAs quantum dots”. Mikhail Rakitskii (Alferov University, Saint Petersburg) was awarded for the best presentation among students with a report “Anomalous Hall effect in semiconductors with zero spin polarization”. Ivan Makhov (Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University) was awarded for the best presentation among postgraduate students with a report “Linear refractive index modulation induced by electric current in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells”. Works with potential applications were recommended for participation in the following competition for support from the Russian Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises in Science and Technology.The conference was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (Program “5–100”) and Tydex LLC, St. Petersburg.The official conference website is http://www.semicond.ru/conf2020 Editors R.A.
