Frontiers and Interfaces of Ion Exchange

摘要国际旅行补助金：CTS-0621659PROJECT SUMMARY一个名为“离子交换的前沿和界面”的国际研讨会定于2006年6月11日至15日在土耳其安塔利亚举行。该讲习班涉及离子交换领域--这是一门应用广泛的科学，涉及催化、药物输送、传感器、生物分离、膜、矿石选矿、冶金、食品净化、聚合物合成、无机材料、生物可再生能源、水处理、环境处理、纳米技术和其他几个领域。讲习班的主要目的是作为一个充满活力的跨学科平台，通过将来自不同科学和工程领域的研究人员和专业人员聚集在一起，分享离子交流领域的新知识。来自美国学术机构的七位特邀演讲者已被确定为研讨会的特邀演讲者/讨论者。这笔旅行补助金为七位受邀的美国演讲者提供旅行、住宿和注册的部分资金支持。智力价值研讨会将把来自学术机构和行业的研究人员、研究生和博士后科学家以及具有挑衅性的学者聚集在一起，在一个促进思想交流的环境中，从而丰富看似脱节的专业领域。更具体地说，跨学科研讨会将有助于：(1)提供与离子交换相关的各个领域的最新发展和突破；(2)确定不同领域的科学障碍，并允许集体参与解决方案。广泛影响研究人员从其他领域的同行那里获得的知识可能会为他们自己领域的创新或发现提供必要的工具。例如，在对用于危险废物场地环境修复的养分输送进行必要的修改之后，可以很好地纳入医药领域的受控药物输送机制。博士后和研究生将适当接触其他学科，从而为他们提供进入其他专业领域的机会。大学教授也可能会受到启发，在他们自己的学术机构教授跨学科的课程。特定的行业-学术研究机会也可能从研讨会演变而来。1414计划将提供4,000美元，1415计划将提供3,000美元，以支持2006财年的研讨会。

Abstract International Travel Grant: CTS-0621659PROJECT SUMMARYAn international workshop entitled "Frontiers and Interfaces of Ion Exchange" is scheduled to be held in Antalya, Turkey during June 11-15, 2006. The workshop addresses the field of ion exchange-- is a broadly applicable science that relates to catalysis, drug delivery, sensors, bioseparation, membranes, ore beneficiation, metallurgy, food purification, polymer synthesis, inorganic materials, biorenewable energy, water treatment, environmental processes, nanotechnology and several others. The primary thrust of the workshop is to serve as a vibrant inter-disciplinaryplatform for sharing new knowledge in the field of ion exchange by bringing togetherresearchers and professionals from diverse areas of science and engineering. Seven invited speakers have been identified from U.S. academic institutions as invited speakers/discussers for the workshop. The travel grant provides partialfinancial support for the travel, lodging and registration of the seven invited U.S.speakers.Intellectual MeritThe workshop will bring together researchers from academic institutions and industries, graduate students and postdoctoral scientists, and provocative scholars, in a setting that will promote cross-fertilization of ideas, thereby enriching seemingly disjointed professional areas. More specifically, the cross-disciplinary workshop will help:(1.) Provide the most recent developments and breakthroughs in diverse areasrelated to ion exchange; (2). Identify scientific hurdles in different areas and allow collective participation fortheir solution.Broader ImpactsKnowledge acquired by researchers from their counterparts in other areas may providenecessary tools leading to innovation or discoveries in their own areas. For example, themechanism of controlled drug delivery in the area of medicine may well be incorporatedafter necessary modification for nutrient delivery for environmental remediation ofhazardous waste sites. Post doctoral and graduate students will be appropriatelyexposed to other disciplines, thus offering them opportunities to move into otherprofessional areas. It is also likely that the university professors will be inspired to teachcross-disciplinary courses in their own academic institutions. Specific industry-academicresearch opportunities are also likely to evolve from the workshop.The 1414 program will provide $4,000, and the 1415 program will provide $3,000 to support this workshop all in FY 2006.
