Annual International Conference

The 19th International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry (ISPC-19) was held at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, from 26 to 31 July 2009 under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Plasma Chemistry Society (IPCS), and under the patronage of the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology of North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany. Bochum also served as the host venue for ISPC-10 in 1991, and this return occasion of ISPC-19 was co-sponsored by the German Science Foundation, the Ruhr-University Bochum, and the town of Bochum.ISPC is a bi-annual international conference with topics encompassing the complete areas of plasma chemistry and plasma processing science. Almost 650 participants from over 40 countries presented 682 papers. Six plenary speakers and 22 topical invited speakers covered a broad range of topics. These keynote lectures were complemented by 105 oral contributions and about 530 poster presentations in 16 categorized scientific topics. The large number of papers reflects that the current field of plasma chemistry is lively and evolving, and crosses the borders between many disciplines ranging from natural to engineering sciences.This issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry contains 13 papers based on plenary lectures and topical invited talks presented at ISPC-19. This compilation illustrates very well that the traditional distinction between low-pressure and thermal high-pressure plasmas almost disappears; the current research topics on microplasmas and microplasma jets exhibit many similarities if compared to research on conventional arcs used for thermal spraying. We sincerely hope that this issue provides readers an overview of current and future scientific developments.Achim von KeudellConference ChairJörg WinterConference Co-Chair

Tsunami Disaster

Natural disasters are major threats worldwide, with earthquakes and tsunamis presenting major obstacles to sustainable development, especially in Asia-Pacific countries. Natural hazards must be understood and social resilience improved to reduce the risks of disaster. Because earthquakes and tsunamis are rare but devastating events, data must be collected on a global scale, making international collaboration is inevitable for reducing loss due to these events. A new international research program called the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS) started in 2008 jointly sponsored by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Our proposal, entitled Enhancement of Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Technology in Peru, was designated as one of the projects in the field of natural disaster prevention in April 2009. Since this project officially started in March 2010, the research program has been promoted by five groups – seismic motion and geotechnical, tsunami, buildings, spatial information database and damage assessment, and disaster mitigation planning – through the strong collaboration of Peruvian and Japanese researchers and stakeholders. Midway through the project, we decided to publish our research results in the form of English technical papers so that a wide and global range of researchers and practitioners could take advantage of our findings. This special issue of the Journal of Disaster Research contains 15 articles – an overview of the project and its progress and 14 peer-reviewed papers covering aspects ranging from earthquake and tsunami hazards to risk reduction. We extend our sincere thanks to all of the contributors and reviewers involved with these articles. We would further deeply appreciate feedback from readers on these papers to prepare for a second special JDR volume on this project within the next two years.

Responsible Research

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is gaining momentum worldwide and is envisaged as a needed tool to properly govern controversial innovative technology (i.e. genome editing, AI). Europe is considered a leader in fostering such approach, notably through its institutionalization. Even so, the future of European Research and Innovation (R&I) seems to be designed without a central role for RRI. After long effort and so much public EU money to support projects to ground RRI principles and practices in key contexts for the flourishing of science and technology in Europe, such as the industrial realm and regional settings, this counter-intuitive decision could undermine the leadership of Europe in prioritizing civil and human rights and needs, values and expectations of its citizens when steering science and technology, that European R&I strongly need to go further.

Aero Engine

In the frame of the European Research Program EEFAE (Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Aero-Engine) successfully completed in five years (2000-2005), an advanced low-NOx combustor has been designed and validated for the CLEAN (Component vaLidator for Environmentally-friendly Aero-eNgine) demonstrator. The objectives of the paper are to show an overview of the CLEAN combustor development, such as combustor design, manufacturing and test rig results, and to provide first comparison between a-posteriori CFD analysis Vs. Rig experimental data, useful for a more comprehensive understanding of combustion performance.
