0628943RahmanDescription: This proposal is to support participation by US scientists in the 31st International Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs in Islamabad, Pakistan in June-July 2006. The Pakistani organizer is Professor Riazuddin, Director, National Center for Physics, Quaid-Azam University, Islamabad. The request by Dr. Talaat Rahman, Department of Physics, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas is to cover U.S. participation in the workshop. The annual International Nathiagali Summer College (INSC) has served as a vibrant center of activity for scientists in the region. In two week-long sessions, lectures and discussions are held on a range of subjects of current interest in Physics which find applications in the contemporary needs of developing nations. Topics are selected with the aim of providing a synoptic view of latest advances and trends in the fields with the goal of attracting newcomers to the area. INSC is attended by laboratory and industrial researchers, university professors, college teachers, and graduate students. The speakers are generally from the U.S. and Europe, while the participants come from countries in North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, as well as China. US based scientists continue to form the major group of speakers/faculty for INSC. One reasons for this interest is the opportunity INSC provides US scientists for establishing useful links with scientists from a number of developing countries. While developing countries gain from the transfer of scientific and technological knowledge, these collaborations and scientific exchanges also benefit US scientists. The movement of talented students and postdoctorates to universities in the United States as a result of this interaction has been mutually advantageous. The INSC has had a broad impact and proven to be an effective forum for establishing strong links among scientists and for broader dissemination of scientific knowledge. In this year's College, the first week is dedicated to topics in Quantum Informatics and Quantum Devices, and the second to issues in the applications of Synchrotron Radiation to problems in Nano-Science. Boarding, lodging, and all other local costs of the speakers will be borne by the Pakistani hosts. All expenses for participants from Pakistan and regional countries will also be provided by the Pakistani hosts and other agencies like the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics, Italy, and CERN.Intellectual merit: The project will provide an avenue for analysis and understanding of timely issues in selected areas of Quantum Informatics, Quantum Devices, and in nano-scale science as revealed through applications of Synchrotron Radiation. The activity will continue to enable US scientists to disseminate the results of their research to an international community and provide opportunities for recruiting personnel for research collaborations, education and training. Broader impact: The workshop will generate a large clientele with interests in scientific thinking and education in the US. Eventually these types of activities are expected to create a more scientifically aware society worldwide and provide more room for rational thinking, education and creativity. The US participants are to include at least 4 junior scientists and three female scientists.

拉赫曼描述：该提案旨在支持美国科学家参加2006年6-7月在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡举行的第31届国际纳提亚加利物理与当代需求暑期学院。巴基斯坦组织者是伊斯兰堡Quaid-Azam大学国家物理中心主任Riazuddin教授。堪萨斯州曼哈顿堪萨斯州立大学物理系塔拉特·拉赫曼博士的请求是为了报道美国参加研讨会的情况。一年一度的国际纳提亚加利暑期学院(INSC)一直是该地区科学家活跃的活动中心。在为期两周的课程中，讲课和讨论涉及一系列当前物理学感兴趣的主题，这些主题在发展中国家的当代需求中得到应用。选择专题的目的是提供该领域最新进展和趋势的概观，目的是吸引新来者进入该领域。参加iNSC的有实验室和工业研究人员、大学教授、大学教师和研究生。演讲者一般来自美国和欧洲，与会者来自北非、中东和南亚国家，以及中国。美国科学家继续构成iNSC的主要演讲者/教职员工群体。引起这种兴趣的原因之一是iNSC为美国科学家提供了与一些发展中国家的科学家建立有用联系的机会。在发展中国家从科技知识转让中受益的同时，这些合作和科学交流也使美国科学家受益。由于这种互动，有才华的学生和博士后流向美国的大学，这对双方都是有利的。INSC产生了广泛的影响，并被证明是在科学家之间建立牢固联系和更广泛地传播科学知识的有效论坛。在今年的学院，第一周致力于量子信息学和量子器件的主题，第二周致力于同步辐射在纳米科学中的应用问题。主讲人的食宿和所有其他当地费用将由巴基斯坦东道主承担。来自巴基斯坦和该地区国家的参与者的所有费用也将由巴基斯坦东道主和其他机构提供，如意大利阿卜杜勒·萨拉姆国际理论物理中心和CERN。智力价值：该项目将提供一条途径，分析和了解量子信息学、量子设备和通过应用同步辐射揭示的纳米科学领域的及时问题。这项活动将继续使美国科学家能够向国际社会传播他们的研究成果，并为研究合作、教育和培训招募人员提供机会。更广泛的影响：研讨会将产生大量对美国科学思维和教育感兴趣的客户。最终，这些类型的活动有望在全球范围内创造一个更具科学意识的社会，并为理性思维、教育和创造力提供更多空间。美国的参与者将包括至少4名初级科学家和3名女性科学家。
