AMERICAN VACUUM SOCIETY

SHORT COURSES IN VACUUM SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

A 4 day basic course in “Vacuum Technology” and seven 1 day special subject courses will be offered in conjunction with the 2lst National Symposium of the American Vacuum Society. which will be held at the DisneylandHotel.Anaheim, California, on 8-I I October 1974. The basiccourse will cover vacuum technology from fundamental theory to state-of-the-art concepts. The 1 day special subject courses will be basic and will cover theory, equipment, and applications. The courses to be offered are: Fundamentals of Sputtering Technology; Partial Pressure Analysts; Fundamentals of Evaporation Methods; Leak Detection; Freeze Drying; Surface Analysis: Microcircuit Thin Film Technology.

Course outlmes and apphcation forms can be obtamed from Nancy Hammond, American Vacuum Society, 335 East 45th Street. New York New York 10017.

THE 1975 PITTSBURGH CONFERENCE

The 26th Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy will be held at the Cleveland Convention Center, Cleveland. Ohio, U.S.A., 3-7 March 1975. Many aspects of the genera1 fields of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy will be represented. In addition to the general sessions, symposia are being arranged on the following specific topics:

(1) Coblentz Society Award Symposium (2) Spectroscopy Awards Symposium (3) Svmnosium on Surface Chemistrv (ASTM E-2) (4) Panel Forum and Discusston-Computer Laboratory Systems (ASTM E-31) (5) The Impact of Tunable Lasers on Spectroscopy and Chemistry (6) Supplemental Fuels from Coal: New Analytical Needs (7) Liquid Chromatography-Today and Tomorrow; A Symposium, Pane1 Discussion, and Open Forum (8) Field Sampling and Analysis of Atmospheric Contaminants (9) The Role of Standards in Accurate Measurements

(10) Polymer Analysis (11) The Science .of Toxicology

The genera1 papers are riot to be restricted to the symposium topics and discussions of all aspects of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy are solicited. It is expected that there will be many contributions in the areas of new instrumentation. new and growing techniques (such as plasma chromatography, laser spectroscopy, etc.), general pollution problems. analytical problems associated with industrial safety, and many other areas of current activity

Those w~shmg to present papers m the 1975 Pittsburgh Conference Technical Programme should submit three copies of a 150-word abstract to:

Peter M. Castle, Program Chairman 1975 Pittsburgh Conference Bmldmg 401. Room 4A31 Westinghouse Research Laboratories Beulah Road Pittsburgh. PA 15235 U.S.A.

Correspondence regardmg papers should be sent in duplicate to: Peter M. Castle. Program Chairman

2. The final date for receipt of title and IDword abstracf is 1 October 1974. Abstracts received after this date will not be accepted.

3. A briefabstract, in triplicate. ofnot more than ISOwords for ux in categorizing sessions must be submitted. The abstract should state clearly (a) the ObJective of the research,(b) equipment and procedures used, and(c) typical results and conclusions. Use the attached abstract form for the original copy and include two copies on plain white paper. Enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard which wilf be returned to indicate receipt of abstract.

4. The letter transmitting the title and abstract should contain the following: (a) the title of the paper ; (b) the names of the author(s), the company(s), or institution(s) in whose laboratory the work was done, and

the address( If the present address of any author is different, both addresses should be given; (c) in the case of multiple authors, the name of the person who will present the paper should be distinctly

indicated by underlining; (d) a srcitentenr~that the paper, or ail material in it, has not been published or presented previously.

5. Presentation time wiU be limited to 15 min with an additional 5 min altowed for discussion. 6. Papers should be classified according to subject matter as indicated on the abstract form. 7. A 35Oword abstract which will be reproduced in booklet form and made available to attendees will be required

by 15 December 1974. Forms and details concerning this abstract will be sent to authors after acceptance of papers.

8. Slides must be 34 in. x 4 in. (horizontal) or 2 in. x 2 in. and numbered. Legible and meanir@d slides are wry important to a paper’s success. Large print and moderation in the use of detail are crucial to a slide’s effectiveness.
