Ferreira M. M. C., “The Trilinear Decomposition of Animal Dental Calculus Samples”. New Hampton, NH, The United Stated, 31/07-05/08/1994: Gordon Research Conference on Statistics in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Poster.

An available official electronic information about the meeting available below and also at the site: http://www.che.wisc.edu/cast10/mailing-list/1994/3

Date: Mon, 20 Dec 93 11:47 PST
From: Barry M Wise <bm_wise@ccmail.pnl.gov>
Subject: 1994 Gordon Conference on Stats in Chem and Chem E

Fellow Chem Es and Chemometricians:

The program for the 1994 Gordon Research Conference on Statistics in
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering has been finalized and is reproduced
below. If you have interests in the application of statistics to problems
in chemistry and chemical engineering, I greatly encourage you to attend.
As you can see, a great many of the talks this year will be relevant to
monitoring and control of chemical processes. I would also encourage you
to present a poster at the conference.

I have also included a announcement concerning Grants for Beginning
Researchers. If you are a student or recent graduate active in the field,
I would encourage you to submit an application for a grant to cover
registration expenses.

Sincerely,

Barry M. Wise
Vice Chair
1994 GRC on Stats in Chem and Chem E

Grants to GRC for Beginning Researchers Offered

Through a generous donation from the Statistics Division of the
American Society for Quality Control, six grants are available to
pay for registration, lodging, and food for beginning researchers
to attend the 1994 Gordon Research conference on Statistics in
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (usual cost is $390). Grant
recipients will be responsible for their own travel expenses.
These grants are available to individuals who have received their
highest degree since May 1991 or who are still in school and who
are involved in research in statistics, chemistry, or chemical
engineering. Applications should consist of a letter of interest,
a resume, a letter of recommendation from a major professor,
research supervisor, or colleague familiar wit the applicant's
research record, and an abstract of the research to be presented
in the conference poster session.

For consideration at the first decision point, applications must
be received by the conference Vice Chair by May 15, 1994. Please
send applications (4 copies) for these grants to Barry M. Wise,
Pacific Northwest Laboratory, P.O. Box 999, Richland WA, 99352
(bm_wise@pnl.gov) with a copy to the conference chair: Svante Wold,
371 Highland Ave, Winchester, MA 01890. Applicants must also apply
directly to the conference itself by contacting: Dr. A.M. Cruickshank,
Gordon Research Conferences, University of Rhode Island,
Kingston RI 02881; (401)783-4011 (bcp101@uriacc.bitnet).
