The book provides a practical and readable guide to getting the
most out of attending a scientific conference. The topics covered
include writing an abstract, preparing and presenting a poster or
talk, chairing a session, making good use of poster and oral
sessions, and networking. Also included is practical advice on
registering for a conference and planning travel. Aimed primarily
at PhD students who are attending their first conference, it is
also relevant to junior postdoctoral scientists.Different types of
scientific conferences are discussed, together with their distinct
roles in the development of a scientific career. After reading this
book, a student or postdoc will be in a better position to make an
effective presentation of their work at a conference and to achieve
the maximum benefit from attending the conference, including
promoting their work, learning about the latest developments and
getting to know the key players in their field.
At Les Houches in January 2015, experts in the field of charged
particle trapping came together for the Second Winter School on
Physics with Trapped Charged Particles. This textbook collates the
lectures delivered there, covering the fundamental physics of
particle traps and the different types of applications of these
devices.Taken as a whole, the book gives an overview of why traps
for charged particles are important, how they work, their special
features and limitations, and their application in areas such as
precision measurements, mass spectrometry, optical clocks, plasma
physics, antihydrogen creation, quantum simulation and quantum
information processing. Chapters from various world experts include
those on the basic properties of Penning traps and RF traps, as
well as those covering important practical aspects such as vacuum
systems, detection techniques, and different types of particle
cooling, including laser cooling.Each individual chapter provides
information and guidance on the application of the above methods.
Additionally, each chapter is complemented by fully worked problems
and solutions, making Trapped Charged Particles perfect for
advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students new to this topic.

This book is a step by step illustrated guide to planning and
writing dissertations and theses for undergraduate and graduate
science students. Topics covered include advice on writing each
section of a thesis as well as general discussions on collecting
and organizing references, keeping records, presenting data,
interacting with a supervisor and avoiding academic misconduct.
Recommendations about how to use word processors and other software
packages effectively are included, as well as advice on the use of
other resources. A concise summary of important points of English
grammar is given, along with appendices listing frequently confused
words and wordy phrases to avoid. Further appendices are provided,
including one on SI units. The aim is to provide an easy-to-read
guide that gives students practical advice about all aspects of
writing a science thesis or dissertation, starting from writing a
thesis plan and finishing with the viva and corrections to the
thesis.
This book is a collection of articles on Physics with Trapped
Charged Particles by speakers at the Les Houches Winter School. The
articles cover all types of physics with charged particles, and are
aimed at introducing the basic issues at hand, as well as the
latest developments in the field. It is appropriate for PhD
students and early career researchers, or interested parties new to
the area.

Existing coastal management and defense approaches are not well
suited to meet the challenges of climate change and related
uncertanities. Professionals in this field need a more dynamic,
systematic and multidisciplinary approach. Written by an
international group of experts, Coastal Risk Management in a
Changing Climate provides innovative, multidisciplinary best
practices for mitigating the effects of climate change on coastal
structures. Based on the Theseus program, the book includes eight
study sites across Europe, with specific attention to the most
vulnerable coastal environments such as deltas, estuaries and
wetlands, where many large cities and industrial areas are located.

Fate and Impact of Microplastics in Marine Ecosystems: From the
Coastline to the Open Sea brings together highlights from the
conference proceedings for MICRO 2016: Fate and Impact of
Microplastics in Marine Ecosystems: From the Coastline to the Open
Sea. While the presence of microplastics in ecosystems has been
reported in the scientific literature since the 1970's, many
pressing questions regarding their impacts remain unresolved. This
short format title draws from the shared scientific and technical
material and summarizes the current research and future outlook.
