Dear organizer,

Kazu Akiba, in cc, will actually be the VELO representative for the accepted POSTER below.

Could you kindly transfer the ownership of the abstract and the actual presentation to Kazu? My name (from the submission for the VELO group) should be replaced.

Many thanks, Eduardo Rodrigues
