The proceedings focuses on the recent developments in the physics of unstable nuclei. The topics covered include masses and radii of exotic nuclei, structure and decay of unstable nuclei, neutron-halo and excitations of neutron drip-line nuclei, new aspects of reaction dynamics induced by exotic nuclear projectiles, production and reactions of radioactive nuclear beams and synthesis of superheavy elements.

The articles in this volume are the results of discussions among biophysicists, neurobiologists and mathematicians with research interests in auditory mechanics and signal processing. Topics covered include: mechanics of hearing organs; auditory periphery and its models; and electromotility.
