Abstract submission
Abstract submission for MT-22 is now closed. Notification of abstract acceptance/rejection will be sent to submitting authors by 30 April 2011.

Many of our colleagues were impacted by the recent earthquake in Japan. While we are encouraged by the numerous reports of personal safety that we have heard, we do realize that the events of the past weeks have disrupted normal working conditions at many institutions. If you were impacted by the earthquake and unable to submit your abstract or need assistance with other conference-related issues, please feel free to directly contact the Scientific Program chairman, Jean-Luc Duchateau, at jean-luc.duchateau@cea.fr.
