Complex Fluids Gordon Research Conference; Newport, RI; August 13-18, 2000

该奖项将为2000年复杂流体戈登会议提供部分支持，该会议将在罗德岛新港的萨尔韦里贾纳学院举行。会议将讨论外力对软界面施加压力以产生新结构的结构。例如，镰状细胞是红细胞，由于细胞内蛋白质的异常聚集而扭曲，而蛋白质的异常聚集反过来又对细胞膜施加扭曲力。会议将讨论软物质物理学家、生物物理学家、化学家和化学工程师之间持续存在的交叉受精需求。将鼓励国际参与。正在作出特别努力，使机械工程界参与讨论复杂介质中的力传导。该奖项将为国内和国外的青少年参与者提供具体支持。该奖项将为2000年复杂流体戈登会议提供部分支持，该会议将在RI州纽波特的Salve Regina学院举行。会议将讨论软物质物理学家、生物物理学家、化学家和化学工程师之间持续存在的交叉受精需求。将鼓励国际参与。正在作出特别努力，使机械工程界参与讨论复杂介质中的力传导。该奖项将为国内和国外的青少年参与者提供具体支持。

This award will provide partial support for the 2000 Complex Fluids Gordon Conference to be held at Salve Regina College in Newport, RI. The conference will deal with structures in which external forces exert stress on a soft interface to create new structures. For example, sickle cells are red blood cells distorted by abnormal aggregation of proteins within the cells which in turn exert distorting forces on the cell membrane. The conference will address the ongoing need for cross-fertilization amongst soft matter physicists, biophysicists, chemists and chemical engineers. International participation will be encouraged. Particular efforts are being made to engage the mechanical engineering community in the discussion of force transduction in complex media. The award will provide specific support for junior participants, both domestic and foreign.%%%This award will provide partial support for the 2000 Complex Fluids Gordon Conference to be held at Salve Regina College in Newport, RI.
