Tribology Issues in Biology and Medicine, a Workshop (June 2001, Chicago, Illinois)

0112199BryantSupport为多学科研讨会提供支持，以确定涉及生物、生物医学和医学问题的摩擦学重要研究领域。这次研讨会的主要目标是提供最新技术的概述，并推荐新的研究方向。研讨会将有大约40至50人参加，并有来自摩擦学、医学、生物医学植入物社区和生物学的几位主旨演讲者和参与者。为期2.5天的研讨会的形式将包括以下内容：主旨演讲者的介绍、与会者的海报、分组会议最后的半天总结会议研讨会的结果将被记录下来，为摩擦学未来的研究方向提供有价值的指导。研讨会的结果将由研讨会组织委员会以报告的形式公布给国家科学基金会，并作为一篇文章提交给《摩擦学》和《生物医学工程》期刊以及作为网上文件。将作出特别努力，促进所涉及的各个科学界之间的交流，并确定今后跨学科研究的领域。还将特别努力吸引新的研究人员和研究生参加会议，并吸引代表人数不足的群体的与会者。

0112199BryantSupport is provided for a multi-disciplinary workshop to identify important areas of research in tribology that involve biological, biomedical, and medical issues. This workshop willhave principal goals of providing an overview of the current state of the art and recommending new directions of research. The workshop will have approximately 40 to 50 participants, and feature several keynote speakers and participants from tribology, medicine, the biomedical implant community, and biology. The 2.5 day longworkshop's format will consist of the following: Introductory session Presentations by keynote speakers Posters by attendees Breakout sessions Final half day wrap up sessionThe workshop results will be documented to provide valuable guidance for future research directions in tribology. Results of the workshop will be released into the public domain by the workshop organizing committee, as a report to NSF, and as an article to be submitted to one of the Tribology and Biomedical Engineering periodicals and as web-based documents. Special efforts will bemade to facilitate communication between the various scientific communities involved and to identify areas for future cross-disciplinary research. Special efforts will also be made to bring new researchers and graduate students to the meeting and to attract attendeed from underrepresented groups.***
