In the meeting of this year, there were a total of 165 contributions in the form of panel and oral sections, besides two plenary and three parallel talks. As occurred in the previous meetings, these talks refer to recent and/or signi cative subjects in the Field Theory. At this year, one talk was on the Anti-de Sitter (AdS){ Conformal Field Theory (CFT) correspondence, two on nonconcommutative ...

For a Czochralski growth of Ge crystal, thermal fields have been analysed numerically using the three-dimensional finite volume method (FLUENT package). The arrangement used in a real Czochralski crystal growth lab included a graphite crucible, heat shield, heating device, thermal insulation and chamber including two gas outlets. We have considered two cases for calculations, which are configur...

The characterization of a liquid crystal cell, which comprises one zero-order (that is, at the wavelength of study it is nondiffractive) diffraction grating and one rubbed polyimide-coated substrate, has been performed using an optically guided mode technique. The cell is filled with nematic liquid crystal E7 (manufactured and sold by Merck, Poole, U.K.). The excitation of fully leaky guided mo...
