We invite abstracts for talks on any of the topic areas above. Talks are 30 minutes long: 20 mins for presentation, and 10 mins for discussion. Abstracts should not exceed two pages, including data and references, and have at least 11-point font on either A4 or letter paper with one-inch (2.5cm) margins.
