D1.00003: Brillouin Light Scattering Measurements of the Temperature Dependence of the Hypersonic Sound Speed in Isopropanol Robert Coakley, Michael Guerrette, Douglas Murphy The temperature dependence of the sound speed has been measured between 18 and 31 degrees Celsius. For sound waves with frequency from 3.3 to 3.5 GHz and wave number 18 Mrad/m, the temperature coefficient was found to be -5.3 m/s/K with an uncertainty of 2{\%}. [Preview Abstract] |

D1.00004: GIPA in Mongolia Nasanbat Dashpuntsag I'm writing from ``Positive Life Center'' NGO from Mongolia. I'm working as project manager for ``Positive Life Center'' NGO and Volunteer for UNDP. 2002-2004 i was worked in project at National AIDS foundation. This project goal was to distribute accurate information of HIV/AIDS for youngs and students. Then I was participated related to HIV/AIDS many workshop, training and local conference. in 2007, I was successfully participated training and meeting organized from Korea HIV/AIDS Network OF Solidarity organization in Republic of Korea. Since 2006, the PLWHA highly increasing in Mongolia. But we are having some problem that's we are non-experience to contact with PLWHA including care, treatment, finance support and another serves. So we must will contact with NGOs in abroad and will be able to participate workshop, training ng experience. Positive Life is a Mongolian non-governmental organisation at the forefront of the fight against HIV/AIDS and serve for PLwha in Mongolia. We aspire to a Mongolia for PLWHA , particularly those who are vulnerable, have equal access to effective, non- discriminatory HIV prevention and care and support services to improve the quality of their life. To bring this about, we collaborate with international supporters, the Mongolian government and a host of grass-roots organisations in towns and villages all over the country to develop and foster the most effective response to this devastating epidemic. This response includes prevention work, the provision of care and support, advocacy, awareness-raising and a wide variety of other initiatives and activities. Through a steadily increasing volume of work, ever higher levels of donor funding, and our growing maturity, we are now proud to be recognised locally and nationally as the voice of the Mongolian PLWHA sector in HIV/AIDS work.
