Conference Introduction

1 Introduction to the conference

Electromagnetic scattering by a homogeneous, isotropic sphere is commonly referred to as Mie theory, although Gustav Mie (1868–1957) was not the first to formulate this electromagnetic scattering problem. Before him Alfred Clebsch (1833–72), solving the elastic point source scattering problem of a perfectly rigid sphere using potential functions [1], and Ludvig Lorenz (1829–91) [3, 2] contribut...

Introduction to Special Issue: 2016 Translational Medicine and Bioengineering Conference

Bioengineering & Translational Medicine was launched in 2016 with the goal to highlight the scientific and technological issues relevant to the translational challenges of bioengineering science and technologies. Clinical translation of promising biological technologies can have a transformative impact on human health. Several advances in bioengineering have already had a huge impact in the dia...

Introduction to the conference, Aromatase: New Perspectives for Breast Cancer.

Basic and clinical data suggest that human breast cancers can be divided into hormone-dependent and hormone-inde pendent subtypes. The biological behavior and responsiveness to treatment of these two subgroups are different. Measure ment of estrogen and progesterone receptors serves to char acterize mammary tumors as hormone dependent or hormone independent with an overall accuracy of approxima...
