Second Circular 3rd International Symposium on Isotopomers (ISI 2006) La Jolla, California USA 27 - 31 August 2006 Scope: The purpose of the Symposium is to look into the latest scientific achievements in the measurement and analysis of isotopomers, from the studies of environmental changes to extended applications in environmental and life sciences including food authenticity and biomedical research. Mass independent chemical measurements and theory are also included. The Symposium will call for papers from a wide range of research on isotope-containing molecules with site-specific information and/or multi-isotopic measurements, as follows: The papers to be presented at the Symposium will comprise invited papers, accepted oral and poster papers. In addition to more experienced researchers, the participation by younger generations of the isotope and/or isotopomer community as well as newcomers to the community is especially encouraged. The Symposium will be held August 27 – 31, 2006 on the campus of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in La Jolla, California, USA. Topics: (To be introduced by invited keynote speakers) * Environmental Observations * Theory and Simulations of Isotopomers * Advances in Measurements * Application of Food Analysis and Authentication * Biomedical and Organic Applications Conference Language: English Conference Proceedings: Will be published Scientific Program Committee: Dr. Pradeep Aggarwal, International Atomic Energy Agency, Austria Dr. Thomas Brenna, Cornell University, USA Dr. Subrata Chakraborty, UCSD, USA Dr. Roberto Gonfiantini, Institute of Geosciences and Georesources, Italy Dr. Claude Guillou, EC, Joint Research Centre, Italy Dr. Matthew Johnson, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Dr. Masahiro Kajiwara, Meiji Pharmaceutical University, Japan Dr. Greg Michalski, Purdue University, USA Dr. V.
