This volume contains an archival record of the NATO Advanced Study
Institute on Microfluidics Based Microsystems - Fundamentals and
App- cations held in Ce ?me-Izmir, Turkey, August 23-September 4,
2009. ASIs are intended to be high-level teaching activity in
scientific and technical areas of current concern. In this volume,
the reader may find interesting chapters and various microsystems
fundamentals and applications. As the world becomes increasingly
concerned with terrorism, early - spot detection of terrorist's
weapons, particularly bio-weapons agents such as bacteria and
viruses are extremely important. NATO Public Diplomacy division,
Science for Peace and Security section support research, Advanced
Study Institutes and workshops related to security. Keeping this
policy of NATO in mind, we made such a proposal on Microsystems for
security. We are very happy that leading experts agreed to come and
lecture in this important NATO ASI. We will see many examples that
will show us Microfluidics usefulness for rapid diagnostics
following a bioterrorism attack. For the applications in national
security and anti-terrorism, microfluidic system technology must
meet the challenges. To develop microsystems for security and to
provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art assessment of the existing
research and applications by treating the subject in considerable
depth through lectures from eminent professionals in the field,
through discussions and panel sessions are very beneficial for
young scientists in the field."

This volume contains an archival record of the NATO Advanced
Institute on Mini - Micro Fuel Cells - Fundamental and Applications
held in Cesme - Izmir, Turkey, July 22-August 3, 2007. The ASIs are
intended to be a high-level teaching activity in scientific and
technical areas of current concern. In this volume, the reader may
find interesting chapters on Mini- Micro Fuel Cells with
fundamentals and applications. In recent years, fu- cell
development, modeling and performance analysis has received much
attention due to their potential for distributed power which is a
critical issue for energy security and the environmental
protection. Small fuel cells for portable applications are
important for the security. The portable devices (many electronic
and wireless) operated by fuel cells for providing all-day power,
are very valuable for the security, for defense and in the war
against terrorism. Many companies in NATO and non-NATO countries
have concentrated to promote the fuel cell industry. Many
universities with industrial partners committed to the idea of
working together to develop fuel cells. As tech- logy advanced in
the 1980s and beyond, many government organizations joined in
spending money on fuel-cell research. In recent years, interest in
using fuel cells to power portable electronic devices and other
small equipment (cell phones, mobile phones, lab-tops, they are
used as micro power source in biological applications) has
increased partly due to the promise of fuel cells having higher
energy density."

This volume contains an archival record of the NATO Advanced
Institute on Microscale Heat Transfer - Fundamental and
Applications in Biological and Microelectromechanical Systems held
in Cesme - Izmir, Turkey, July 18-30, 2004. The ASIs are intended
to be high-level teaching activity in scientific and technical
areas of current concern. In this volume, the reader may find
interesting chapters and various Microscale Heat Transfer
Fundamental and Applications. The growing use of electronics, in
both military and civilian applications has led to the widespread
recognition for need of thermal packaging and management. The use
of higher densities and frequencies in microelectronic circuits for
computers are increasing day by day. They require effective cooling
due to heat generated that is to be dissipated from a relatively
low surface area. Hence, the development of efficient cooling
techniques for integrated circuit chips is one of the important
contemporary applications of Microscale Heat Transfer which has
received much attention for cooling of high power electronics and
applications in biomechanical and aerospace industries.
Microelectromechanical systems are subject of increasing active
research in a widening field of discipline. These topics and others
are the main themeof this Institute."
