To further strengthen our interaction with physiologists of different societies, The Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences (CAPS) has made an initiative to organize another event of similar nature in 2016 with our international partners. Apart from physiologists within China, CAPS has made strenuous effort to secure the participation of hundreds of Chinese physiologists who have established laboratories in other parts of the world. In this 2016 Conference, each participating society will sponsor 1-3 symposia bearing the name of the respective society. Each of these sponsored symposia will be 2-2.5 hours in duration. Speakers of each of these symposia are from at least two societies so as to facilitate interaction. The 2016 International Conference will be held in the China National Convention Centre, Beijing, China (September 25-28, 2016). 3 So far, 14 societies (including American Physiological Society, Australian Physiological Society, Austrian Physiological Society, Brazilian Society of Physiology, The Chinese Physiological Society in Taipei, French Physiological Society, The Physiological Society of Japan, The Physiological Society, Physiological Society of New Zealand, The Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society and Scandinavian Physiological Society) have agreed to host named symposia in the event and all societies have submitted the named symposia to the conference. This conference is also sponsored by International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS), The Federation of Asia and Oceania Perinatal Societies (FAOPS) and the National Natural Sciences Foundation of China (NSFC). Our colleagues in CAPS are looking forward to meeting you during the Conference in Beijing. Welcome to the International Conference of Physiological Sciences 2016 (ICPS2016)!

    GAMES INFORMATION The Olympic & Paralympic Movement The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was created in 1894 and the fi rst Olympic Games of the modern era opened in Athens on April 6, 1896. The goal of the Olympic Movement is to build a peaceful and bet- ter world by educating youth through sport, by bringing together ath- letes from all countries in sincere and impartial competition, and by sharing with a spirit of friendship, solidarity, and fair play. No discrimina- tion of any kind is allowed against any country or person on grounds of race, religion, or politics. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) was founded in 1989 and is one of the largest sport organizations in the world. Representing the vast majority of athletes with a disability, it has taken sport to a new and higher level, providing unique opportunities from a developmental to an elite sport level. Today, thousands of athletes participate in more than 300 international competitions every year all over the world. Through its ideals and activities, the IPC seeks the continuous global promotion of the values of the Paralympic Movement, with a vision of inspiration and empowerment. Every person or organization that plays any part whatsoever in the Olympic and Paralympic Movement must accept the supreme authority of the IOC and the IPC and shall be bound by their rules. The Olympic and Paralympic Games are held every four years, at which time athletes of all nations affi liated with the worldwide Olympic Movement are assembled for fair and equal competition. The Olympic Movement celebrates an “Olympiad,” a period of four successive years.

    Probing the Nature of Cosmic Acceleration PoS(DSU 2012)016 Yun Wang∗ Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics & Astronomy, Univ. of Oklahoma, 440 W Brooks St., Norman, OK 73019 E-mail: [email protected] The cause for the observed acceleration in the expansion of the universe is unknown, and referred to as “dark energy” for convenience. Dark energy could be an unknown energy component, or a modification of Einstein’s general relativity. This dictates the measurements that are optimal in unveiling the nature of dark energy: the cosmic expansion history, and the growth history of cosmic large scale structure. Type Ia supernovae, galaxy clustering, and weak lensing are generally considered the most powerful observational probes of dark energy. Due to page limit, I will only examine Type Ia supernovae and galaxy clustering as dark energy probes, and discuss the recent results and future prospects.

Interest in China has blossomed, from Mandarin lessons for pre- school children in New York to international students from California studying at universities in China. Multinational corporations have flocked to China, first as a production base but now to tap into its consumer based of over 1.3 billion customers. China’s political influence around the world is evident in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America in addition to the US, where they hold a substantial (if not largest) share of our nation’s treasury notes. Do not miss this chance to discover China and the amazing opportunities there.

It is not merely important; an understanding of China is essential. We invite you to join our faculty and students on a China Business Study Tour on May 14-23, 2011 that will introduce you to world-class international businesses, take you to China’s famous cultural destinations, and provide experiential learning opportunities that will broaden your knowledge of and interest in China.
