REPORT for the 88Th IUVSTA Workshop “Towards Reality in Nanoscale Materials”
REPORT for the 88th IUVSTA Workshop “Towards Reality in Nanoscale Materials” Background and outcome The 88th workshop was organized under the sponsorships of Aalto University, TSV Federation and the IUVSTA Nanometer Structures Division with the support of the Electronic Materials and Process Division and Surface Engineering Division on 12-14 February 2019 in Levi, Finland. The workshop was jointly organized by Prof. Adam Foster, Aalto University, Dr. Carla Bittencourt, University of Mons, Belgium, Dr. Arkady Krasheninnikov, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany and Aalto University, Finland and Dr. Teemu Hynninen, University of Turku, Finland. Prof Foster and Dr. Hynninen acted as local organizers. The main idea behind this workshop was to bring together representatives of solid-state physics and materials science communities who use theoretical computational tools to present and discuss state-of-the-art developments and perspectives of solid-state, computational and molecular physics techniques in modeling of defects and irradiation effects in various nanoscale materials, including carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene. Considerable attention has also been given to surface probe methods. The lectures given by the experts in simulations of irradiation effects in nanomaterials such as carbon and boron-nitride nanotubes, graphene, small metal clusters etc., were combined with those presented by the developers of the relevant simulation methods (e.g., time- dependent density-functional theory, molecular dynamics algorithms). In addition to the theoretical advances, recent progress in experiments were covered by several speakers. The latest and most important results in the field were presented by the speakers and during the poster session. In addition to recently published results, a considerable amount of new unpublished data was presented. -

Proceedings of the 18Th Edition of the Belgian-Netherlands Software Evolution Symposium
Proceedings of the 18th edition of the BElgian-NEtherlands software eVOLution symposium http://soft.vub.ac.be/benevol2019/ Dario Di Nucci Coen De Roover Tilburg University / JADS Vrije Universiteit Brussel The goal of BENEVOL is to bring together researchers who are working in the field of software evolution and maintenance. BENEVOL offers an informal forum to meet and to discuss new ideas, important problems, and obtained research results. The 18th edition of BENEVOL was organized and hosted by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium from 28th to 29th November 2019. It accepted 11 technical papers and 20 presentation abstracts. Technical papers underwent a mild yet constructive review. We explicitly solicited papers in the early stages of research, which are still rather rough around the edges and could benefit from feedback from the community. Technical papers were reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, assessing whether they are within the scope of BENEVOL (i.e., software maintenance and evolution) and meet its quality criteria. The papers part of the proceedings includes the feedback received during the workshop. Presentation abstracts report on research results that have already been published, or that are ready to be submitted to a conference or a journal. They were reviewed for relevance, and are not included in the BENEVOL proceedings. These contributions are available on the website of the workshop. Furthermore, BENEVOL 2019 featured two keynotes this year. Fabio Palomba, assistant professor at the University of Salerno, gave an overview of the problems, solutions, and challenges associated with flaky tests. Vadim Zaytsev, chief science officer of Raincode Labs talked about his experience in developing and teaching how to build compilers for legacy languages. -
Greek Cultures, Traditions and People
GREEK CULTURES, TRADITIONS AND PEOPLE Paschalis Nikolaou – Fulbright Fellow Greece ◦ What is ‘culture’? “Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, encompassing language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts […] The word "culture" derives from a French term, which in turn derives from the Latin "colere," which means to tend to the earth and Some grow, or cultivation and nurture. […] The term "Western culture" has come to define the culture of European countries as well as those that definitions have been heavily influenced by European immigration, such as the United States […] Western culture has its roots in the Classical Period of …when, to define, is to the Greco-Roman era and the rise of Christianity in the 14th century.” realise connections and significant overlap ◦ What do we mean by ‘tradition’? ◦ 1a: an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (such as a religious practice or a social custom) ◦ b: a belief or story or a body of beliefs or stories relating to the past that are commonly accepted as historical though not verifiable … ◦ 2: the handing down of information, beliefs, and customs by word of mouth or by example from one generation to another without written instruction ◦ 3: cultural continuity in social attitudes, customs, and institutions ◦ 4: characteristic manner, method, or style in the best liberal tradition GREECE: ANCIENT AND MODERN What we consider ancient Greece was one of the main classical The Modern Greek State was founded in 1830, following the civilizations, making important contributions to philosophy, mathematics, revolutionary war against the Ottoman Turks, which started in astronomy, and medicine. -
