9907766SchanzeThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on the past, present and future of photosynthesis and photoconversion to be held in Okazaki, Japan for one week in November l999. The co-organizers are Professor Kirk Schanze of the University of Florida and Professor Suehiro Iwata of the Okazaki National Research Institute in Japan. The theme of the seminar is broadly centered on the topic of photosynthesis and energy conversion (artificial photosynthesis). The seminar will focus on significant advances that have been made in these areas during the previous two decades as well as topics of current interest in the field. The topics include: 1) semiconductor photoelectrochemistry, dye-sensitization of semiconductor colloids and application of photocatalysis to environmental remediation; 2) fundamental and applied topics in molecular and supramolecular photochemistry related to photoconversion including ultrafast spectroscopy, molecular charge transfer, photoresponsive materials and photoconversion in chemical systems; 3) structure and function of photosynthetic reaction centers, synthetic model systems for the photosynthetic reaction center, artificial photosynthesis; and 4) molecular regulation of photosynthesis and genetic engineering of photosynthetic efficiency. The areas of physics, chemistry and biology being discussed are relevant to many current global problems. These include the need for development of energy efficient economies and alternative (i.e., non-fossil fuel) energy sources, global warming and advanced agricultural technology. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger scientists. The proceedings of the meeting are expected to be made available by the organizers on a specially constructed web-site that will be announced in appropriate newsletters (e.g., "The Inter-American Photochemical Society Newsletter," "The Spectrum," and "Japan Photochemical Society Newsletter"). They will further establish links to the site at established chemistry and photoscience related web sites. ***

9907766 Schanze该奖项支持美国科学家参与美国-拟于1999年11月在日本冈崎举行为期一周的关于光合作用和光转换的过去、现在和未来的日本研讨会。 协办者是佛罗里达大学的Kirk尚泽教授和日本冈崎国立研究所的Suehiro岩田教授。 研讨会的主题大致围绕光合作用和能量转换（人工光合作用）的主题。 研讨会将重点讨论过去二十年来在这些领域取得的重大进展以及该领域当前感兴趣的主题。 这些主题包括：1）半导体光电化学、半导体胶体的染料敏化和光敏剂在环境修复中的应用; 2）与光转换有关的分子和超分子光化学的基础和应用课题，包括超快光谱学、分子电荷转移、光响应材料和化学体系中的光转换; 3）光合反应中心的结构与功能，光合反应中心的合成模型系统，人工光合作用，4）光合作用的分子调控和光合效率的基因工程。正在讨论的物理、化学和生物学领域与当前许多全球性问题有关。 其中包括需要发展节能经济和替代能源（即，非化石燃料）能源、全球变暖和先进的农业技术。 与日本专家在这一领域的想法和数据交流将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。 研讨会的组织者特别努力让年轻科学家参加。 会议的议事录预计将由组织者在一个专门建立的网站上公布，并将在适当的通讯中公布（例如，《美洲光化学学会通讯》、《光谱》和《日本光化学学会通讯》）。 他们还将在已建立的化学和光科学相关网站上建立与该网站的链接。***
