16. Material characterization for magnetically confined fusion : Surface analysis and method development
Abstract : The dream of abundant clean energy has brought scientists and laypeople alike to ponder the possibilities of nuclear fusion since it was established as the energy source of the stars in 1939. Starting from the mid-twentieth century, significant effort has been put into overcoming the technological challenges related to the construction of a power plant, but initial optimism has faded somewhat due to a notable absence of practical outcomes.

17. Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Plasma Membrane Protein Dynamics
Abstract : Membrane protein dynamics is of great importance for living organisms. The precise localization of proteins composing a synapse on the membrane facing a nerve terminus is essential for proper functioning of the nervous system. In muscle fibers, the nicotinic acetylcholine is densely packed under the motor nerve termini. READ MORE

18. Resistive Wall Mode Stability and Control in the Reversed Field Pinch
Abstract : Control of MHD instabilities using a conducting wall together with external magnetic fields is an important route to improved performance and reliability in fusion devices. Active control of MHD modes is of interest for both the Advanced Tokamak and the Reversed Field Pinch (RFP) configurations. READ MORE

19. Molecular aspects of retinol uptake and activation
Abstract : Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) are essential for a wide variety of physiological processes, including embryonic development, growth, vision, reproduction, and maintenance of various epithelia and the immune system. 11-Cis-retinal serves as the chromophore of the visual pigments in the retina, whereas the hormonal retinoids, all-trans and 9-cis retinoic acid (RA), regulate the non-visual functions via activation of nuclear retinoid receptors (RARs and RXRs).
