Program

The five-day conference will include invited lectures, special reports and poster presentations. Invited lectures will be given in the morning and afternoon sessions. Every topic will be covered with two lectures, allotted with 45 minutes including the discussion. The special reports will be presented in the afternoon and allotted with 25 minutes including the discussion. The poster sessions are planned for late afternoons.
Overhead projectors and beam projectors will be provided in all oral sessions. Presenters requiring special equipment such as slide projectors (35mm) and VCR's should indicate these requirements on the abstract form.
