Isamu KusakaOhio State University Research Foundation"Midwest Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Conference."The Midwest Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Conference will be held in Columbus, OH on May 28-29, 2003. This is a small student-centered conference emphasizing presentations by graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and young faculty working in all areas of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Funding will reimburse graduate students and postdocs for travel and registration costs associated with the meeting. Funds for other aspects of running this meeting have been arranged from other sources, primarily donations from the Ohio State University. NSF-CTS has provided student travel funds for this meeting several times in the past, and this action has been important in making attendance at this meeting widely accessible to graduatestudents. Intellectual merit: During the two-day conference, various topics from thermodynamics and statistical mechanics will be discussed. We expect about 65 to 70 attendees, which is small compared to typical national conferences. This allows avoidance of parallel sessions, encouraging in-depth discussion and exchange of ideas among attendees. Broader impact: The conference proceeds in a collegial atmosphere, which is an ideal way of building a community of researchers who might continue interacting with each other at various levels even long after the conference. About two thirds of the attendees are graduate students and postdocs. For them, the conference can serve as an introduction to the thermodynamics and statistical mechanics community. For faculty, the conference affords an opportunity to meet and evaluate potential faculty candidates in an informal yet intellectually stimulating environment.

伊萨姆·库萨卡俄亥俄州立大学研究基金会“中西部热力学和统计力学会议”将于2003年5月28-29日在俄亥俄州哥伦布举行。这是一个以学生为中心的小型会议，重点是研究生、博士后学者和从事热力学和统计力学所有领域工作的年轻教师的演讲。资助将报销研究生和博士后与会议相关的旅费和注册费。举办这次会议的其他方面的资金也是从其他来源安排的，主要是俄亥俄州立大学的捐款。NSF-CTS在过去几次为这次会议提供了学生旅费，这一行动对于让更多的毕业生能够参加这次会议起到了重要作用。学术价值：在为期两天的会议中，将讨论热力学和统计力学的各种主题。我们预计大约有65到70人参加，与典型的全国性会议相比，这是一个很小的数字。这就避免了平行会议，鼓励与会者深入讨论和交流意见。更广泛的影响：会议在大学氛围中进行，这是建立一个研究人员社区的理想方式，即使在会议结束后很长一段时间，研究人员也可能继续在不同层面上相互交流。大约三分之二的与会者是研究生和博士后。对他们来说，这次会议可以作为对热力学和统计力学社区的介绍。对于教员来说，会议提供了一个机会，在一个非正式但能激发智力的环境中，会见和评估潜在的教员候选人。
