Dear AllWe have now received very good quality abstracts in good number and we are sure that the meeting at the ISDR conference in Hong Kong would be a great forum for an engaging discussion on the topic. Due to huge interest, the online abstract submission system is kept open until March 31st 2010. So if anyone still wishes to submit an abstract, you could do so using the online system via http:

Dear all,I am a master student in Sweden in Environmental Management field and want to continue my education (Phd) in the field of Industrial Ecology in the United States. I have yet another year to finish my master, but I have to think from now about my thesis work.

Water fluoridation is the generally well-regarded practice of adding fluoride to water supplies in order to combat tooth decay. Tooth decay, or dental caries, is the gradual degradation of dental material that can result in discoloration and the physical decomposition of teeth. Studies have shown that adding an optimal amount of fluoride to a water supply is a cost-effective way to help combat

Hello againI guess, most of us must be excited to go back to Kalundborg for the IS research symposium. At the same time, some of us (especially students) might not make it due to limited funds and we may have to make a choice between the ISIE conference and the IS symposium. Hope most of us will make it and the tradition of IS symposium continues with the same success as in the past.On a separate
