2002 Midwest Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Meeting, Pittsburgh, PA

中西部热力学和统计力学会议将于2002年5月13日至14日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行。虽然大多数演讲者都是教职员工，但这次会议也强调在热力学各个领域工作的研究生和博士后学者的演讲和参与，包括实验和经典热力学，分子模拟和统计力学。申请经费用于偿还研究生与会议有关的旅费和注册费。会议其他方面的经费由其他来源安排，主要是卡内基梅隆大学和匹兹堡大学的捐款。NST-CTS过去曾多次为这次会议提供学生旅费，这一行动对于研究生广泛参加这次会议非常重要。

The Midwest Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Meeting will be held in Pittsburgh, PA on May 13-14, 2002. Although, most of the speakers are faculty, this meeting also emphasizes presentations and participation by graduate students and postdoctoral scholars working in all areas of thermodynamics, including experimental and classical thermodynamics, molecular simulation, and statistical mechanics. Funding is requested to reimburse graduate students for travel and registration costs associated with the meeting. Funds for other aspects of running this meeting have been arranged from other sources, primarily donations from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. NST-CTS has provided student travel funds for this meeting several times in the past, and this action has been important in making attendance at this meeting widely accessible to graduate students.
