Abstract
This paper presents a novel design of superconducting coils
able to generate a micro-gravity environment for protein
crystal growth in aqueous solution. The structures have been
calculated thanks to a method for "inverse source synthesis
problem" developed at the GREEN Choice of the angular
offset between the directions of magnetic force field and
magnetic field in the working area as well as convection
phenomena are also studied.

| What is OpenURL? |
The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
- If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
- You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
- You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
