It included a conference on "Medical Physics and Mathematics" (organizer Prof.D.Ghista, United Arab Emirates) with a session "Metabolic regulatory systems" (chaired by R.Heinrich, Berlin). This shows that gradually biothermokinetics as well as metabolic control analysis become "fit for good (mathematical) society". Please find the list of lectures below. If anybody is interested in getting the abstracts please contact R.Heinrich (Humboldt-University, Department of Biology, Institute of Biophyscis, Invalidenstr. 42, 10115 Berlin, Germany.
