0414519PI - Dickinson, Washington State UniversityPROJECT SUMMARY - THE 2004 GORDON CONFERENCE ON TRIBOLOGYTribology - the study of friction, wear & lubrication - affects us all. Controlling friction and wear can either inhibit or enable technological advances from large engines to body prostheses, MEMS and nanotechnological devices. Thus, in the 21st Century, tribology will continue to critically impact all aspects of our quality of life, health, wealth and livelihood and there are significant challenges to be addressed, many requiring paradigm shifts in both our approaches and thinking. The biennial Gordon Research Conference in tribology is the premiere basic research meeting for tribologists and supporting scientists. Coming from all parts of the world, leading scientists from universities, national labs and industries gather with young scientists and newcomers to tribology for one week of formal and informal discussions on state-of-the art issues in this multidisciplinary and multi-scale subject. Today's Problems & Tomorrow's Solutions - Challenging Our Needs in Tribology Research theme is our attempt to explore how underlying science, including recent advances in our understanding of surface mechanics, physics, chemistry and phase transformations can help solve the problems posed by tomorrow's applications. Simultaneously we wish to examine the converse problem: how the perceived demands of tomorrow's innovative devices and applications can reveal 'the blanks' in our current understandings and research capabilities. The speakers and discussion leaders chosen for the 2004 GRC Conference on Tribology are amongst the most eminent scholars and researchers in the world. Besides bringing many of the established intellectual leaders of the subject together to brainstorm the future, there is also a very strong commitment to fully involve practicing engineers and young scientists from a range of related disciplines so that they may not only learn of the latest research tools but also contribute to the paradigm changes in approach which are necessary for underpinning and enabling the future.Intellectual Merit. This meeting is a key mechanism for linking basic science with a technological field of significant importance to the U.S. and World economies. It also provides ties between new, young investigators and those with experience and depth in their understanding of the problems. Advances in tribology also require a constant flux of new ideas and healthy connections to other disciplines. This meeting provides an extremely efficient way to make all of these connections.Broader Impacts. This proposal focuses on providing support for conference fees and/or travel expenses for participants including discussion leaders, speakers, graduate students, postdocs and young investigators. This will allow many young investigators the opportunity to benefit from the new working experience which the Gordon Conferences provide but who could not otherwise be able to attend because of fund restrictions. We strive for gender balance and also favor any under-represented ethnic minority or disabled individuals that apply. Beyond these criteria, we will attempt to diversify the meeting by selecting attendees from academic research, industry, and educational professions with a further eye toward a mix of senior and junior independent investigators, postdoctoral trainees and graduate students. We are also seeking funds to support a few undergraduates (seniors) who have expressed interest in attending and wish to present posters.

0414519 PI-迪金森，华盛顿州立大学项目摘要-2004年摩擦学普林斯顿会议摩擦学-研究摩擦，磨损润滑-影响我们所有人。控制摩擦和磨损可以抑制或促进从大型发动机到人体假体、MEMS和纳米技术设备的技术进步。因此，在21世纪世纪，摩擦学将继续严重影响我们的生活质量，健康，财富和生计的各个方面，有重大的挑战要解决，许多需要在我们的方法和思维范式的转变。两年一度的摩擦学戈登研究会议是摩擦学家和支持科学家的首要基础研究会议。来自世界各地的大学，国家实验室和行业的领先科学家与年轻科学家和摩擦学新手聚集在一起，就这一多学科和多尺度学科的最新问题进行为期一周的正式和非正式讨论。今天的问题明天的解决方案-满足我们在摩擦学研究的需求主题是我们试图探索如何基础科学，包括我们对表面力学，物理，化学和相变的理解的最新进展，可以帮助解决明天的应用所带来的问题。同时，我们希望研究匡威的问题：如何感知需求的明天的创新设备和应用程序可以揭示“空白”在我们目前的理解和研究能力。2004年GRC摩擦学会议的发言人和讨论领导人都是世界上最杰出的学者和研究人员。除了将该学科的许多知名知识领袖聚集在一起，集思广益，展望未来之外，我们还致力于让来自一系列相关学科的实践工程师和年轻科学家充分参与进来，以便他们不仅可以学习最新的研究工具，还可以为支撑和实现未来所必需的方法范式变革做出贡献。这次会议是将基础科学与对美国和世界经济具有重要意义的技术领域联系起来的关键机制。它还为新的、年轻的调查人员和那些对问题有经验和深入了解的人提供了联系。摩擦学的进步还需要不断的新思想和与其他学科的健康联系。这次会议提供了一个非常有效的方式来建立所有这些联系。更广泛的影响。本提案的重点是为与会者，包括讨论负责人、发言人、研究生、博士后和年轻研究人员的会议费和/或差旅费提供支助。这将使许多年轻的调查人员有机会受益于戈登会议提供的新的工作经验，但由于资金限制，他们无法参加。我们努力实现性别平衡，并支持任何代表性不足的少数民族或残疾人申请。除了这些标准，我们将尝试通过选择来自学术研究，工业和教育专业的与会者来使会议多样化，并进一步关注高级和初级独立调查人员，博士后培训生和研究生的混合。我们还寻求资金，以支持一些本科生（高年级）谁表示有兴趣参加，并希望目前的海报。
