7th International Symposium on Rockburst and Seismicity in Mines (RaSiM7) was held in Dalian, China, 21-23 August 2009. Past symposia have been held in South Africa in 1982; Minneapolis, USA in 1988; Kingston, Canada in 1993; Krakow, Poland in 1997; South Africa again in 2001; Perth, Australia in 2005. The event has long been an opportunity for researchers and industry professionals to meet and present the latest technical findings, and share ideas and experiences on one of the most complex technical problems facing mining and other rock engineering around the world.
The theme of RaSiM7 is “Controlling Seismic Hazard and Sustainable Development of Deep Mines”, and the symposium program was developed to not just address the critical questions regarding mining-induced seismicity and rockburst, but also the related problems met in other civil engineering. Papers in the two volumes have been grouped in three parts: understanding seismic hazard, managing seismic hazard and dynamic behavior in civil engineering, with the third part particularly emphasized in coal outburst and water inrush in coal mining

Computational Physics

ed. X-G Zhao, et al

Electronic information is one of the most advanced sciences and technologies that are widely used in almost every area. This 20th academic annual meeting was held on July 28-31 2010 at Zheng Zhou Henan province of China and organized by the Higher Education Institutions Electronic and Electrical Basic-Courses-teaching Association of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China in Middle-South Area of China. The success of the meeting represents another important step towards deepening our understanding of the science and technology of electronic information and, equally interesting, enhancing the educational reform in teaching Electronic Information courses in the universities and colleges in China.

Novel results in this area have been presented and discussed during the ICWE'04 Workshops, with special attention on advanced application domains. This volume presents a selection of the best contributions, providing an updated view on the Web Engineering researches and applications.

Quantum Field Theory Under the Influence of External Conditions

ed. K Milton

This volume is a collection of papers presented at the 6th Workshop on Quantum Field Theory Under the Influence of External Conditions, QFEXT03. Controversies raged over the temperature dependence of the Casimir force between real metal surfaces, and over the significance of divergences encountered in calculations of Casimir energies. Such questions are being addressed through both theoretical and experimental researches, which are recounted in this book. Many other new ideas are presented, making this proceedings of great interest to both experienced researchers and graduate students concerned with both fundamental and applied issues in quantum field theory.

ed. P Nath

This volume is a collection of papers presented at the conference "Twenty Years of SUGRA, Search for SUSY and Unification" (March, 2003) to celebrate the twentieth year since the invention of SUGRA models. The predictions of SUGRA models and specifically its minimal version mSUGRA will be tested at the future collider experiments, i.e., at the Fermilab Tevatron and at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. Remarkably SUGRA, mSUGRA also predict just the right amount of dark matter consistent with the recent data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and also predict that such dark matter could be detected in the current and the future dark matter detectors.
