SMi are pleased to present the 6th annual gas storage conference, the last few years have been very important for those involved in gas storage and this informative 2 day conference will allow recent developments and operations to be discussed in the context of a shifting global energy market. Global gas storage projects will provide a vital resource throughout the year and will play a central role in helping to provide secure gas supplies, however will regulation and the current economic climate affect the future of this industry? Recent development of unconventional gas resources are driving the need for more storage capacity worldwide, and as a result research is being conducted to identify new efficient and economical methods of gas storage. With increasing pressures on the energy market and focus on energy prices, gas storage is facing new challenges to increase efficiency and capacity throughout the seasons. Gas Storage facilities are necessary to maintain a steady supply during changing patterns of 233ge and allows for countries to rely less on importing gas during times of high demand.

SMi are proud to present their 9th annual Point of Care Diagnostics: Market Opportunities and Technology Trends24th and 25th of October, 2012. With point of care constantly at the forefront of the biotechnology and healthcare markets, the need for up to date information on both the emerging technologies, and the market opportunities is paramount. Rapid testing in all areas of healthcare, from primary care to the emergency services is becoming increasingly expected, and successful point of care technology can revolutionise our ability to create this fast, personalised medicine. Challenges still remain, however, about the logistics of companion diagnostics, the legitimacy of patient independence and the redistribution of profit within the healthcare technology sector. The ultimate question of whether we can create a treatment specific for a patient, rather than a disease necessitates an ability to communicate with key opinion leaders, successful companies and academic leaders within the field, and conferences such as this are an integral part of that process.

The XXXIII. International Conference on Environmental Pollution and Impacts aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of Environmental Pollution and Impacts, and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. All submitted papers will have opportunities for consideration for this Special Journal Issue. The selection will be carried out during the review process as well as at the conference presentation stage. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication. The final decision will be made based on peer review reports by the guest editors and the Editor-in-Chief jointly.
