International Workshop on Nonlinear Phenomena to be held in Santiago, Chile, 6-15 September 1990

该奖项支持将于1990年9月6日至15日在智利圣地亚哥大学举行的关于非线性现象的国际研讨会。美国的组织者是俄亥俄大学的雅各布·拉帕波特，智利有几个组织者，以智利大学的帕特里西奥·科德罗为首。有一个国际组织委员会，成员包括来自阿根廷和巴西以及智利的科学家。参与者将来自墨西哥和欧洲的几个国家、美国和阿根廷、巴西和智利。研讨会将涵盖近平衡流体动力学(理论和实验)、远离平衡流体动力学(湍流和混沌)、相变和临界现象、凝聚态物理中的非线性现象(量子霍尔效应、高温超导等)、数学建模(细胞自动机、神经网络、学习机)等研究课题。这个工作坊的一个目的是给年轻的物理学家提供机会，让他们熟悉当前非线性物理中的问题。此外，它还将为交流意见和确定研究课题提供一个互动环境，这将促进研究界今后的合作和科学合作。研讨会还将汇集拉丁美洲的物理学家，这并不总是那么容易做到的。这些都是实现发展中国家科学计划目标的很好例子。

This award supports an international workshop on nonlinear phenomena to be held in Santiago, Chile at the University of Chile from September 6-15, 1990. The U.S. organizer is Jacobo Rapaport of Ohio University and in Chile there are several organizers headed by Patricio Cordero of the University of Chile. There is an international organizing committee which includes scientists from Argentina and Brazil as well as from Chile. The participants will come from Mexico and several countries in Europe, the U.S. and Argentina, Brazil and Chile. The workshop will cover research topics in fluid dynamics near equilibrium (theoretical and experimental), fluid dynamics far from equilibrium (turbulence and chaos), phase transitions and critical phenomena, nonlinear phenomena in condensed matter physics (quantum Hall effect, high temperature superconductivity, etc.), mathematical modelling (cellular automata, neural networks, learning machines). An objective of this workshop is to give the opportunity for young physicists to become acquainted with current problems in nonlinear physics. In addition, it will provide an interactive environment for the exchange of ideas and the identification of research topics which will promote future collaborations and scientific cooperation among the research communities. The workshop will also bring together Latin American physicists which is not always easy to do. These are all good examples of fulfilling the goals of the Science in Developing Countries program.
