Travel to 9th International Conference on Properties and Phase Equilibria for Product and Process Design

摘要-0107685 O 'Connell，John P.U.产品和工艺设计性质和相平衡国际会议（ICPPEPPD）每三年举行一次。 在过去的21年里，会议的地点在北美和欧洲之间交替; 2001年，会议将首次在亚洲举行。 前八次会议在化学过程设计和模拟这一重要领域的学术界、工业界和政府工作人员之间产生了非常理想的互动。 这些会议也成为世界各地工人最重要的聚会; 1998年在荷兰北韦克豪特举行的第八届会议吸引了来自29个国家的250名与会者。 每次会议都产生了重要的论文集，收录在审查档案会议记录卷中。第八届会议提供了1000多页的评论和发表在国际期刊《流体相平衡》上的新研究。第九届会议定于2001年5月20日至25日在日本仓敷举行，采用与前几届会议成功的类似形式，但在讲习班和新的会议主题方面有一些重大改进。在某些情况下，为尽可能多的有需要的美国学术研究人员提供食宿。 其中包括一个小的请求，用于支付他们与PI之间的通信费用。 得到支助的人将包括应邀提交和提交论文的演讲者以及没有这种支助就无法出席会议的年轻研究工作者。 不要求支付会议组织费用或非美国与会者的费用。

ABSTRACTCTS-0107685O'Connell, John P.U. of VirginiaThe International Conferences on Properties and Phase Equilibria for Product and Process Design (ICPPEPPD) are held every three years. For the Past 21 years the locations have alternated between North Americaand Europe; in 2001, the conference will be held in Asia for the first time. The first eight conferences have produced highly desirable interactions between academic and industrial and government workers in this vital area of chemical process design and simulation. The meetings have also become the most important gathering for workers from all over the world; the Eighth conference held in 1998 in Nordwijkerhout, The Netherlands attracted 250 participants from 29 countries. Each conference has produced important collections of papers in review archival proceeding volumes. The Eighth Conference provided over 1000 pages of reviews and new research published in the international journal Fluid Phase Equilibria.The Ninth Conference is scheduled for May 20 -25 2001, in Kurashiki, Japan, with a similar format that has been successful at the previous Conferences, though with some significant enhancements in workshops and new session topics.The present proposal requests funds for travel, and meals and lodging in some cases, for as many needy US academic researchers as possible. A small request is included for communications costs between them and the PI. Those supported would include presenters of invited and contributed papers as well as young research workers who would not be able to attend without such support. No request is made for meeting organization expenses or for non-US participants.
