1. Renewable Resources and Biorefineries
Because of the growing impact of Renewable Resources, this conference aims at bringing together academic as well as industrial and governmental experts to discuss the new challenges emerging from the transition towards a society, increasingly based on renewables and to present novel developments in the area. 2. Molecules of the Month (May 2005) Sodium Tetrahydroaluminate: studied as a prototype material for hydrogen storage. Acesulfame Potassium: is 200 times sweeter than sucrose. Ectoine: helps salt-tolerant microbes adjust to changes in the salinity of the water in which they live. Epothilone-A: is the first of a new class of compounds that can fight cancer cells that resist conventional chemotherapy. ß-Estradiol : female hormone which may have neuroprotective effects for Parkinson's disease patients. British anti-Lewisite: is most commonly used as a chelator in the treatment of poisoning from heavy metals. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Alvimopan hydrate: is an investigational peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist designed to block the negative effects of opioids on the gastrointestinal system. http://www.prous.com/mom/mom.asp 3. Upcoming Organic Synthesis Conferences (June 2005) 39th
