U.S.-Australia Joint Workshop on Large Molecule Energy Transfer/McLaren Vale, South Australia/July 1996

该奖项支持10名美国研究人员参加大分子能量转移研讨会，该研讨会将于1996年7月7日至12日在南澳大利亚的麦克拉伦谷举行。美国组织者是密歇根大学大气、海洋和空间科学系的约翰·巴克教授。澳大利亚的组织者是阿德莱德大学化学工程系的Keith King教授。研讨会将集中讨论高振动激发分子的碰撞能量转移。研讨会的目标是：1)使能量传递研究人员了解处理大分子和小分子系统的理论和实验知识的现状；2)确定对推进大分子振动能量传递知识有最大影响的实验和理论发展；3)促进美国和澳大利亚科学家在这一研究领域的进一步合作和交流，这应该对两国的研究人员都有好处。澳大利亚对讲习班的支持由澳大利亚工业、科学和旅游部提供。将通过国际发行的《分子动力学通讯》和在澳大利亚发行的《澳大利亚化学》宣布最后报告的存在，该报告将在美国和澳大利亚的世界范围网站上提供。

9514244 Barker This award supports the participation of ten American researchers at a workshop on Large Molecule Energy Transfer to be held at McLaren Vale, South Australia, July 7 through 12, 1996. The American organizer is Prof. John Barker from the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences at The University of Michigan. The Australian organizer is Prof. Keith King of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Adelaide. The workshop will focus on collisional energy transfer involving highly vibrationally excited molecules. The objectives of the workshop are: 1) to acquaint energy transfer researchers with the current state of theoretical and experimental knowledge in dealing with large and small molecular systems; 2) to identify experiments and theoretical developments which will have the greatest impact on advancing knowledge about large molecular vibrational energy transfer; and 3) to foster further collaboration and communication between U.S. and Australian scientists in this area of research which should be of mutual benefit to investigators in both countries. The Australian support for the workshop is provided by the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Tourism (DIST). The existence of a final report, to be made available at World-Wide Web sites in both the United States and Australia, will be announced through the "Molecular Dynamics Newsletter", distributed internationally, and in "Chemistry in Australia", which is distributed in Australia.
