XIV IUPAC Symposium on Photochemistry, Leuven, Belgium July 19-25, 1992

这项来自有机动力学计划的旅行补助金将为美国科学家提供参加1992年7月19日至25日在比利时鲁汶大学举行的第十四届IUPAC光化学研讨会所需的部分费用。会议将集中讨论应用和基础光化学和光物理的各个方面。来自世界各地的杰出演讲者将重点介绍光生物学、光聚合物、小分子光化学、星际光化学以及光化学事件对环境的影响。向美国研究人员提供的挑战旅行补助金将确保美国在这次光化学领域的战略科学会议上有足够的代表。会议上的正式报告将讨论各种因素，包括决定使用光来制造和加工用于电子应用的硅片的因素，以及使用脉冲激光的能量来探测许多生物过程是如何被光的吸收刺激的。还将讨论光在水供应中的污染物氧化中的作用，以及星际大气中化学物质的反应性。

This travel grant from the Organic Dynamics Program will provide a portion of the expenses required for US scientists to attend the XIV IUPAC Symposium on Photochemistry at the University of Leuven in Belgium from July 19-25, 1992. The conference will focus on various aspects of both applied and basic photochemistry and photophysics. Issues involved in photobiology, photopolymers, small molecule photochemistry, interstellar photochemistry, and the environmental implications of photochemical events will be highlighted by presentations from a distinguished array of speakers from around the world. The challenge travel grants provided to US investigators will insure that there will be an adequate representation from the United States at this strategic scientific meeting in the field of photochemistry. %%% Formal presentations at the meeting will range from discussions of the factors which govern the use of light to make and process silicon chips for electronics applications to the use of energy from pulsed lasers to probe the way in which many biological processes are stimulated by the absorption of light. The role of light in the oxidation of contaminants in water supplies, as well as the reactivity of chemical species in interstellar atmospheres, will also be discussed.
