Successes And Failures

This talk traces in brief the genesis of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, as one of Prof. Abdus Salam's major achievements. It outlines why Salam felt the necessity for establishing such a centre to help physicists in the developing world. It situates the founding of the Centre within Salam's broader vision of the causes of underdevelopment and of science as an engine for scientific, technological, economic and social development. The talk reviews the successes and failures of the ICTP and gives a brief overall view of the current status of the Centre.

Wind Patterns

<p>In this study, it is aimed to compare wind patterns at Menderes area in Aegean Region in Turkey using HadGEM2 dataset from Hadley Center, United Kingdom and MPI-ESM-MR dataset from Max Planck Institute, Germany. These datasets are downscaled to high resolutions at 10km, 5km and 1km for two different RCP scenarios RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 and for different time periods 1970-1999, 2020-2049 and 2070-2099 using Regional Climate Modeling RegCM4.5 and above of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) to see the changes of the wind patterns at Menderes area in Aegean Regiion in Turkey due to climate change.</p>

Abdus Salam was one of the leading theoretical physicists of his generation, the first Muslim to win a Nobel Prize for science. He was Professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College, founding Director of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, and founder and first President of the Third World Academy of Sciences. He was also a warm and generous man, who cared passionately about the inequities between the rich countries and the poor, and argued tirelessly for the importance of science to developing countries.

This Special Issue contains some selected papers presented at the Third International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Optimization: Theory, Methods, Applications and Technology Transfer (NAOIII-2014), held during January 5-9, 2014, at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), Muscat, Oman. The conference was sponsored by SQU, The Research Council of Oman, The Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP, Italy), AMPL (USA); and the local sponsors the German University of Technology (GUtech) in Oman, the Al-Anan Press (Oman) and Al-Roya Newspaper (Oman).The NAO conference series is held once every 3 years at SQU: the first conference (NAO-2008) was held during April 6-8, 2008, and the second conference (NAOII-2011) was held during January 3-6, 2011. The NAO conference will hopefully become a forum where prominent mathematicians, worldwide experts and active researchers gather and meet to share their knowledge on new scientific methodologies and simulate the communication of new innovative ideas, promote scientific exchange and discuss possibilities of further cooperation, networking and promotion of mobility of senior and young researchers and research students. NAOIII-2014 was inaugurated by HE Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Sarmi, the Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Higher Education, HE Dr. Ali bin Saud Al Bemani, the Vice Chancellor of SQU and HE Mrs. Paola Amadei, Ambassador of Italy to the Sultanate. Twenty world leading researchers gave keynote lectures in twelve Technical Sessions of the conference. In total, forty international participants gave contributed talks. More information is available at: http://conference.squ.edu.om/nao. Thirteen of the keynote papers were selected for the edited Springer proceedings in Mathematics and Statistics Volume 134, “Numerical Analysis and Optimization NAO-III, Muscat, Oman, January 2014”, where each paper was accepted after a stringent peer review process by independent reviewers.Eight of the conference contributed papers were selected for this Special Issue 20(2) of the SQU Journal for Science. We wish to express our gratitude to all contributors. We are also indebted to many anonymous referees for the care taken in reviewing the papers submitted for publication.

The EUROPEAN BRAIN AND BEHAVIOUR SOCIETY has held its 39th Annual General Meeting in Trieste, in the campus next to the Miramare castle and its park, co-hosted by SISSA, the International School for Advanced Studies, and ICTP, the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics. Alessandro Treves (SISSA) was the head and inspiration of the Local Organizing committee, supported by P. Battaglini, L. Chelazzi, M. Diamond and G. Vallortigara. All approaches relating brain and behaviour were represented at the meeting, which aimed to further expand the wide spectrum of previous EBBS AGMs, and to bring together integrative, system, cognitive, computational neuroscientists.See also the societies home page: http://www.ebbs-science.org/.
