评审分析PI：Thanh NguyenProposal编号：10457院校：Univ.伊利诺伊州香槟分校：题为：界面化学：水系统中纳米颗粒、生物胶体和痕量有机物的命运、传输和吸附的研讨会界面化学研讨会将集中讨论与固-液表面界面现象有关的问题，水、废水处理和水源保护中的大多数重要环境过程都发生在固-液表面。这次研讨会将使研究人员从基础科学到应用科学和工程学，他们正在推进以下感兴趣的主题的知识状况：1)微生物、天然和工程纳米颗粒的运输和命运；2)表面相互作用在病原体灭活中的作用；3)固-液界面上的化学反应；4)膜污染和清洗的机理；以及5)天然和工程系统中的生物膜。有效传播关于环境界面的最新知识，可以开发可持续的污染物处理技术和以科学为基础的环境保护政策。科学家和工程师之间的这种知识交流需要跨学科和国际努力。这项提案寻求资金，以允许来自美利坚合众国的特邀演讲者和特约学生演讲者代表团参加？界面化学：纳米颗粒、生物胶体和痕量有机物在水生系统中的命运、传输和吸附？2010年太平洋盆地学会国际化学大会将于12月15日至20日在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行。研讨会的总体目标是促进讨论，以产生研究想法，并促进来自不同国家、不同学科、不同世代的科学家和工程师之间的科学互动。美国代表将有机会讨论在从分子到宏观到现场和试点的范围内在固-液界面上发生的环境过程的理解方面的进展。来自美国大学的学生的出席和参与将提供独特的专业和教育经验，这是未来几代环境工程师和科学家领袖所必需的。整个经验将使学生能够通过跨学科和跨文化的经验来补充基础工程和科学的坚实知识背景，并使他们能够解决传统的和新兴的本地和全球环境问题。通过为以下方面提供资金支持，确保研讨会尽可能广泛的参与和最大的影响力：1)来自不同学科的特邀演讲者和2)来自代表性不足的少数族裔和/或非博士授予机构的贡献学生作者。研讨会的公告将通过AEESP电子邮件列表分发。摘要评审将由研讨会组委会进行。收到资金后，还将通过AEESP电子邮件列表传阅学生旅行支持申请。学生获奖者将根据他们的科学成就和对研讨会成功的贡献而被挑选出来。此外，太平洋大会还为国际与会者提供资金。

Review AnalysisPI: Thanh NguyenProposal Number: 1045457Institution: Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignTitle: Symposium titled: Interfacial Chemistry: Fate, Transport, and Adsorption of Nanoparticles, Biocolloids, and Trace Organics in Aquatic SystemsThe symposium on interfacial chemistry will focus on issues related to interfacial phenomena at solid-liquid surface, where most of the important environmental processes in water, wastewater treatment, and sourcewater protection occur. This symposium will bring researchers from basic to applied science and engineering who are advancing the state of knowledge on the following topics of interests: 1) transport and fate of microorganisms, natural and engineered nanoparticles; 2) role of surface interactions in pathogen inactivation; 3) chemical reactions at solid-liquid interface; 4) mechanisms of membrane fouling and cleaning; and 5) biofilm in natural and engineered systems. Effective dissemination of state of the art knowledge on environmental interface allows the development of sustainable technologies for pollutant treatment and of science-based policies for environmental protection. Interdisciplinary and international efforts are required for such an exchange of knowledge among scientists and engineers. This proposal seeks funding to allow a delegation of invited presenters and contributed student presenters from the United States of America to attend the symposium on ?Interfacial Chemistry: Fate, Transport, and Adsorption of Nanoparticles, Biocolloids, and Trace Organics in Aquatic Systems? to be held December 15-20 with the 2010 International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies (Pacifichem) in Honolulu, Hawaii.The overall objective of the symposium is to foster discussion for generating research ideas and to promote scientific interactions among scientists and engineers across disciplines, generations, and from different countries. The U.S. delegates will have opportunities to discuss advances in understanding environmental processes that occur at the solid-liquid interface at scales ranging from molecular to macroscopic to field and pilot. Attendance and participation of students from U.S. universities will provide a unique professional and educational experience that is necessary for future generations of leaders of environmental engineers and scientists. The entire experience will allow the students to supplement a solid background of knowledge in fundamental engineering and sciences with cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural experiences, and to make them capable of addressing traditional and emerging local and global environmental issues.The widest possible participation and greatest influence of the symposium will be ensured by providing financial support for: 1) invited speakers from different disciplines and 2) contributed student authors from underrepresented minority and/or non-PhD granting institutions. Announcement for the symposium will be circulated through the AEESP emailing list. Abstract review will be conducted by the symposium organizing committee. A call for student travel support applications will also be circulated through the AEESP emailing list, when funding is received. Student grantees will be selected for their scientific accomplishments and their contributions to the success of the symposium. In addition, Pacifichem congress has funding for international attendees.
