This volume summarizes the present status of research in the field of organic and inorganic boron chemistry, presented by the invited speakers at the 12th International Meeting on Boron Chemistry (IMEBORON-XII), held in Sendai, Japan, 11-15 September 2005. IMEBORON-XII consisted of 1 plenary lecture, 22 invited lectures, 24 keynote lectures, 48 short oral presentations, and 99 poster presentations. In all, 280 chemists contributed to a truly international meeting, with participants representing China, Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.The presentations at IMEBORON-XII covered all aspects of boron chemistry including theoretical studies, synthetic methods of organic and inorganic boron compounds, novel molecular structures, application of organic and inorganic boron compounds to organic synthesis as catalysts or as reagents, medicinal applications, and creation of new materials (liquid crystals, supramolecular clusters, nanocylinders, molecular electronic devices, nanomachines, ceramics, etc.). Not only the distinguished senior members of the boron community, but also young boron chemists took an active part in the conference. Not only traditional boron chemistry, but also new evolving research areas of boron chemistry were presented. Accordingly, I feel that a new generation of both researchers and research fields is coming in boron chemistry. A selection of the invited contributions to IMEBORON-XII is presented in the 14 papers in this issue.The importance of scientific exchange in this field was recognized during IMEBORON-XII. Therefore, the continuation of this series of conferences was discussed, and the venue for IMEBORON-XIII in 2008 will be organized by Prof. F. Teixidor at the Institut de Ciencia de Materials de Barcelona, C.S.I.S., Campus U.A.B., Ballaterra, Spain.Yoshinori YamamotoChairman of IMEBORON-XII

Initially, the Thai Physics Society and Prince of Songkla University had planned to co-host the SPC2021 in Songkhla province in Southern part of Thailand via hybrid form. Unfortunately, due to the rise of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic cases in Thailand, the organizing committee had considered that physical conference would no longer be possible, and made 100% online decision. This is to keep up to the highest standard of health regulation and self-practice (from WHO) in avoiding the extremely serious pandemic. Consequently, the Thai Physics Society and Prince of Songkla University had facilitated and hosted the SPC2021 as national teleconference during May 24-25, 2021. This year, we had 185 research abstracts and papers submitted for both oral and poster online presentations. There were 1 plenary speaker, 25 invited speakers, 76 oral presentations, 83 poster presentations, and 99 full papers submitted for possible publication in all 21 tracks(topics). The scientific program was announced on the SPC2021 website (https://spc2021.sci.psu.ac.th/) and also distributed via email to all participants. The SPC2021 oral sessions were held via Zoom video conference. Participants can join online sessions either by using their individual Zoom account. The Zoom’s chat channel as well as professional management such as co-hosting the Zoom room from the host-side were employed to alleviate some glitches (e.g. delayed or unclear signals due to slow internet connection from the client-side). In addition, the chat channel was also used for exchanging contact details for further detailed discussion about the presentation. The online opening ceremony and plenary talk was live-broadcasted via Faculty of Science, Prince of Songkla University official Facebook page and YouTube account. After the online opening ceremony, a plenary talk entitled “Exploring the Universe with neutrinos and gravitational waves” by Professor Takaaki Kajita, 2015 Nobel Laureate in Physics from Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, was given to the audience of approximately 200 participants. The oral presentations were arranged into 3 parallel Zoom rooms in total of 16 sessions. Each invited speaker was allowed 30-minute presentation while regular presenter had 15 minutes including questions and answers. The online audience-size of each room varied between 30 and 60 people. The poster presentations were uploaded onto the SPC2021 Indico website (https://indico.cern.ch/event/973315/), where only registered participants could access. In addition, all participants can login, access all abstracts as well as presentation materials, and submit the full paper. List of Editorial Materials, Logos are available in this pdf.

Objective: Abstracts submitted to meetings are subject to less rigorous peer review than full-text manuscripts. This study aimed to explore the publication outcome of abstracts presented at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) annual meeting.Methods: Abstracts presented at the 2008 AAO meeting were analyzed. Each presented abstract was sought via PubMed to identify if it had been published as a full-text manuscript. The publication outcome, journal impact factor (IF), and time to publication were recorded.Results: A total of 690 abstracts were reviewed, of which 39.1% were subsequently published. They were published in journals with a median IF of 2.9 (range 0–7.2) and a median publication time of 426 days (range 0–2,133 days). A quarter were published in the journal Ophthalmology, with a shorter time to publication (median 282 vs. 534 days, p=0.003). Oral presentations were more likely to be published than poster presentations (57.8% vs. 35.9%, p<0.001) and in journals with higher IFs (3.2 vs. 2.8, p=0.02). Abstracts describing rare diseases had higher publication rates (49.4% vs. 38.0%, p=0.04) and were published in higher IF journals (3.7 vs. 2.9, p=0.03), within a shorter period of time (358 vs. 428 days, p=0.03). In multivariate analysis, affiliation with an institute located in the United States (p=0.002), abstracts describing rare diseases (p=0.03), and funded studies (p=0.03) were associated with publication in higher IF journals.Conclusions: Almost 40% of abstracts were published. Factors that correlated with publication in journals with higher IF were a focus on rare diseases, affiliation with a US institute, and funding.

The construction industry is an indicator of economic development: in good times both individuals and companies invest to increase or improve their houses and facilities. The halted construction is an indication of economic difficulties. Hence the importance of protecting infrastructure investments through diagnostic, recovery and construction rehabilitation procedures. IX National Congress ALCONPAT Mexico 2020 addressed the thematic axes: Materials and nanomaterials, Durability and sustainability, Preservation of built heritage, Preservation, maintenance and rehabilitation, Semi and non-destructive tests, Corrosion in concrete structures, Climate Change. Four Plenary Conferences were presented, given by renowned researchers from Spain, Colombia, Mexico and Argentina. Nine Master Conferences were also presented, given by Researchers from the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, Veracruzana University, CNIC of Havana, Cuba and the Autonomous University of Campeche. 61 papers were received, divided into: 35 oral presentations 26 poster presentations. The participating institutions were: Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Universidad Veracruzana, Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo, Tecnológico Nacional de México (Instituto Tecnológico de Chetumal), Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas, Cinvestav Unidad Mérida, Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán , Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, CIIDIR IPN Campus Oaxaca, Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas de Cuba, Consultor Independiente de Ecuador, Centro Internacional de Matemáticas Numéricas e Ingeniería (España), Universidad Nacional del Sur ( Argentina). Effort and enthusiasm of the participants to carry out the event in virtual mode, due to the existing adverse sanitary conditions, stands out. It is one more indication of the strength of the ALCONPAT community in maintaining the continuity of one of its activities to exchange knowledge and experiences for the improvement of practices aimed at prolonging the durability of the infrastructure.

ObjectivesNeurology as a specialty is becoming increasingly feminised. Generally, women are under-represented in academic medicine, particularly at more senior levels. The aim of this study was to assess the gender balance of presenters at the 2014 ABN meeting.MethodsData on gender mix of the specialty was obtained from the 2012 Federation of the Royal College of Physicians Census. Oral presenters and first authors from posters were identified using the Meeting Programme and Abstract Book and the GMC register was used to ascertain individuals' gender.Results29.5% of neurology trainees and consultants are female. There were 38 platform presentations, and 188 poster presentations. It was possible to identify the gender of 99.6% of presenters and first authors. 48.9% of first authors on posters were female; women conducted 18.4% of platform presentations. Oral presenters were significantly more likely to be male (p<0.01).ConclusionCompared to the specialty as a whole, women were well represented at the meeting. However, females were significantly less likely to undertake more prestigious oral presentations. Further work is planned to identify whether the reason behind this imbalance is explicit or implicit bias, and to help identify barriers to increasing female participation in academic neurology.
