The
Institute of Energy Problems of Chemical Physics
of RAS;
are very pleased to invite you to participate
in the first of a Workshop-school series entitled
"Mass Spectrometry in Chemical Physics, Biophysics
and Environmental Sciences".
The first workshop will be held in the ancient
and attractive Russian town of Zvenigorod
(60 km to the west of Moscow, Holiday home of
RAS in fir-forest), on April 25 and 26, 2002.
Registration will be on 24 of April in Moscow.
Departure from Zvenigorod - 27 of April.
Established experts in the field as well
as young scientists and graduate students are
encouraged to submit abstracts for either the
oral or poster sessions, or to register to participate
without any submission. Please note the following
deadlines:
receipt of registrations - February 18;
receipt of registration fee - before April 5;
receipt of abstracts March 15.
The workshop will focus on the crucial role
of mass spectrometry in current and future developments
in the fields of chemical physics, biophysics
and environmental sciences. Papers are particularly
encouraged on basic topics in chemical kinetics,
chemical thermodynamics, and in aspects of chemical
structure with an emphasis on the mass spectral
analysis of non-volatile compounds, their non-destructive
ionization and/or their targeted destruction
for the determination of molecular or crystal
structure. Submissions are also invited in the
field of biophysics concerning the mass spectral
analysis of peptides, proteins and nucleic acids.
Other topics of interest include the mass spectrometric
detection and analysis of trace contaminants
in air, soil and water.
Possible forms of Participation in the Workshop:
- Oral presentation (15 min. lecture + 10 min.
discussion) with A4 overhead transparencies.
- Poster (A1 format).
- Attendee without presentation.
The official languages for the Workshop
will be English and Russian.
The participants will
have the opportunity to congratulate Professor
Victor L. Talroze, the outstanding
Russian scientist in the fields of chemical
physics and mass spectrometry, on the occasion
of his 80th birthday.
This Workshop-school will de sponsored in
part by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research.
