Details for Presentation

Oral Presentation
Each speaker will be informed about allocated session and time from the conference secretary. Projectors for PC will be provided. We recommend that you bring your own PC. Nevertheless, you can bring your file saved on disk or a flash memory with USB connector. In the latter case, however, there will be some risk of modification of your projected figures due to differences between your hardware/software and those provided by us. We, therefore, request that you install your file sufficiently in advance and check the quality of figures and correct them if necessary. We recommend that you preview your figures at least 30 min before your session starts. Preview site will be set up in front of the main conference room. A slide projector and OHP are also available, and please tell the Secretary General, if you want to use either of these.

Poster Presentation
The size of posters will be 90 (w) x 180 (h) cm. Poster discussion is scheduled in the evening of August 28 (Mon). Depending on the number, authors are requested to be present at their posters during the discussion time: Odd numbers, 19:30-20:30; even numbers, 20:30-21:30.
