The goal of this work is summarize the contribution that
insertional mutagenesis has made to our understanding of cancer. A
variety of insertional mutagens are presented that have been used
to study a variety of tumor types in several model organisms. In
addition, the impact of insertional mutagenesis in several gene
therapy trials is discussed along with strategies to avoid such
complications in future clinical trials.
The idea of an "Advanced Study Institute" on the theme of electrode
reactions on solid electrolytes was put forward by Dr. J. Dupuy at
the meeting of the International Society for Electrochemistry in
Eindhoven in September 1973. Through Dr. Dupuy, the Solid State
Physics Department of Lyons University offered the Institute
possibilities of accommodation in Corsica that seemed particularly
tempting. The subject matter appealed to a number of people for a
variety of reasons. A great deal of development work on
applications comes up against interface phenomena which appreciably
reduce anticipated performances. Numerous potential applications of
specific electrodes or gauges appear that would benefit from a more
systematic approach. From a more fundamental viewpoint, interface
phenomena on ionic crystals are the subject of indepen dent
investigations in quite distinct research fields such as solid
state physics and electrochemistry. The choice of an interpretation
from among the different models available is very often not a
straightforward matter, and an attempt to promote a synthesis by
bringing together the proponents of the various "schools" could not
fail to be rewarding."

What did we have in mind when in May, 1976, we (Professor de
Gennes, Dr. Tourand and ourselves) thought of a Summer School in
the field of liquids? First, we wanted to present and discuss the
new results that have been obtained recently, in particular at the
high flux reactor of the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble since
it became operational in 1972. In order to achieve this goal, the
major part of this Summer School was devoted to an ex tensive
presentation of the gen~ra1 concepts and methods of study ing this
state of matter (time-dependent correlation functions, molecular
dynamics, intermolecular forces, spectroscopic tech niques *** )
and concentrated on a few specific systems which have seen
significant development in the last few years, both theoret ically
and experimentally. These systems are the different classes of
simple liquids: metallic liquids, ionic liquids, simple molecu lar
liquids and the new field of superionic conductors (solid
electrolytes). Furthermore, we wanted to put some emphasis on a
particular research area in the field of liquids, namely critical
phenomena in fluids. This was chosen both because of our personal
interest in this field and the major theoretical advances which
have occurred in the last ten years. We also wished that some new
powerful techniques or new theo retical approaches be presented at
this School. Thus, picosecond laser techniques, theoretical
calculations on dipolar fluids, and angular correlations in
molecular liquids were the subject of specific seminars.
Glass *** Current Issues is the proceedings of a NATO Advanced
Study Institute held in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife between the 2nd
and 13th April 1984. The objectives of the School were twofold.
Firstly to inform participants of actual and developing technolog
ical applications of glassy materials in which fundamental science
makes a strong contribution, and secondly to bring together
scientists from the widely different backgrounds of glass science
and technology to promote mutual understanding and collaboration.
The amorphous state has for more than a decade now been a
renaissance of scientific and technological activity extending
beyond traditional glass technology research. Striking developments
of amorphous materials have been made in fields such as metallurgy,
electronics and telecommunications and even in disciplines until
recently less concerned by materials science, such as colloid
chemistry, medicine and agriculture. The physical and chemical
properties brought into application here result from the
interaction between the glass composition and its non-crystalline
structure. One role of the basic research is to understand this
interaction, which in time through development, helps to extend the
range of properties and applications. In this meeting we hoped to
sensitize participants to the vast range of applications of
amorphous materials which exploit their unique properties, and thus
broaden future investigation. The program was organised around
seven topics, signposts of scientific and technological activity in
the 1980'S: optical materials, amorphous metals, crystallisation
phenomena, electronic and electrical devices, sol-gel preparative
methods, composite materials and long-term applications.
