MICRO WIDE ANGLE FIBER DIFFRACTION WORKSHOP

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 FiberNet/BioCAT光纤衍射研讨会于2009年10月15日至17日在伊利诺伊州阿贡的高级光子源举行。在APS举行的最后一次Fibernet/BioCAT研讨会是在2004年举行的。FiberNet是一个以范德比尔特大学为中心的光纤衍射者组织。BioCAT和Fibernet合作为纤维衍射界组织年度研讨会，这些研讨会可以是美国晶体协会年度会议、丹佛衍射会议、田纳西州各个州立公园的会议，以及如本文所述的讲座和实践研讨会的特别会议。目前的研讨会有30名注册人员。我们也有来自APS的其他几个用户的临时参与者。研讨会的正式部分包括一天半的演讲，主题包括淀粉样蛋白结构、结缔组织、肌肉和生物质的微衍射研究。随后是为期两天半的实践讲习班，学员接受了培训，以便收集有关18ID光束线上的BioCAT显微衍射仪或使用BioCARS 14 BM光束线上的光纤衍射设置的数据。我们计划未来每两到三年举办一次这样的工作坊。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The FiberNet/BioCAT Fiber Diffraction Workshop was held October 15-17, 2009 the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne, IL. The last such Fibernet/BioCAT workshop at the APS was held in 2004. Fibernet is an organization for fiber diffractionists centered at Vanderbilt University. BioCAT and Fibernet work together to organize annual workshops for the fiber diffraction community that can either be special sessions at annual meetings of the American Crystallographic Association, the Denver Diffraction conference, meetings at various State Parks in Tennessee and combined talks and practical workshops such as the one reported here. The current workshop had 30 registrants. We also had drop-in participants from several other users at the APS. The formal part of the workshop consisted of a day and a half of talks with topics ranging form amyloid structures, connective tissue, muscle, and micro-diffraction studies of biomass. This was followed by two and half days of hands-on workshop where participants were trained to collect data on either the BioCAT microdiffraction instrument on beamline 18ID or using the fiber diffraction setup on BioCARS beamline 14 BM. We plan to hold such workshops every two-three years in the future.
