Dr. Milan Ihnat Agriculture and Agri-food Canada. Summerland, BC Thursday, April 9, 1998, 10:00AM, Room A322, Chemistry Building. |
Eric Lagergren Statistical Engineering Division, NIST, Gaithersburg, MD. Thursday, April 9, 1998, 9:00AM, Lecture Room B, Administration Building. This 12 hour workshop covers the fundamental principles and techniques of efficient experiment design--a rigorous strategy for conducting an experimental investigation. A "good" design yields unambiguous scientific and engineering conclusions with a minimal amount of experimental effort. The workshop covers specific designs that have proven best for screening out the most important parameters from a large number of potential parameters and for converging to an optimal operating condition starting from a "best guess." Registration is limited. The registration fee of $125 includes the textbook "Statistics for Experimenters," by Box, Hunter and Hunter. To register, submit a Request for Training Memo to Pat O'Connor, Room A123, Administration Building, patricia.oconnor@nist.gov, by April 3, 1998. |

Dr. Benjamin B. Bederson Assistant Professor of Computer Science, The University of Maryland,. College Park, MD Monday, May 4, 1998, 11:00AM, Room B142, Technology Building. |
N/A N/A N/A. Monday, May 11, 1998, 9:00AM, - Tuesday, May 12, 1998 Lecture Rm. B, Administration Bldg. We intend that the workshop will result in a "road-map" for the future course of the field of polymer x-ray microscopy. This relates in particular to both the planned x-ray microscope at the Advanced Photon Source, which would be dedicated to polymer science, and the future development of the x-ray microscopy facilities at the National Synchrotron Light Source. This workshop will be a major event for this growing field and should have a lasting impact on its future course. This workshop will also be the first time that present practitioners of polymer x-ray microscopy gather as a group to exchange ideas about their experiments and technological problems and successes. http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/confpage/980511a.htm |
