New NMR book

Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance: A Practical Introduction (Volume 1)

David E. Axelson (author)
Paperback: 472 pages
Publisher: CreateSpace (January 26, 2012)
Language: English
ISBN: 978-1469982274

"Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance now offers a wide variety of methods for characterization of materials of different compositions over a wide range of experimental conditions (temperatures, pressures, etc.). Both simple and sophisticated pulse sequences enable one to selectively probe and quantify physical properties of interest. This book mainly dwells on the practical aspects of selected topics and uses a largely non-mathematical, although extensively referenced, approach to the introduction of solid state NMR concepts."

Chapter 1 : Principles of Solid State NMR
Chapter 2 : Introduction to Pulse Sequences
Chapter 3 : Decoupling
Chapter 4 : Quantitative Analysis
Chapter 5 : Artifacts
Chapter 6 : Line Broadening Mechanisms
Chapter 7 : Resolution Enhancement
Chapter 8 : Variable Temperature

CCSB 2012

We are pleased to announce the 2nd China Canada Systems Biology Conference and the 19th Methods in Protein Structure Analysis, which will take place at the Ottawa Convention Centre, Ottawa, Canada from June 25-28, 2012. The 2012 symposium is being organized and hosted by the Ottawa Institute of Systems Biology (University of Ottawa), The International Association for Protein Structure Analysis and Proteomics, and the China-Ontario BioAnalytic Consortium (COBAC).

The goal of this meeting is to bring together internationally recognized scientists and students in the field of systems biology, protein biochemistry, and proteomics to promote scientific discussion and the development of new collaborations.

Of special interest for NMR spectroscopists will be the session "Dynamic links between protein structure and function". Invited speakers to this session include Lewis Kay (University of Toronto), Katherine Henzler-Wildman (Washington University School of Medicine), Gianluigi Veglia (University of Minnesota), Kevin Gardner (University of Texas Southwestern) and Dorothee Kern (Brandeis).

More information can be found at http://www.oisb.ca/june_2012_symposium/ccsb_2012.htm

Registration is now open. Abstract submission deadline is May 15th, 2012.

Solid-State NMR Symposium at CSC 2012

Colleagues,

this is a reminder that the CSC 2012 abstract submission deadline is February 15.

On behalf of the organizing committee for the 95th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition, it is my pleasure to invite you to take part in the "Solid-State NMR" symposium sponsored by the Physical, Theoretical and Computational Division of the Chemical Society of Canada. CSC 2012 will be held in Calgary, May 26-30, 2012. Three half-day sessions will be devoted to the Solid-State NMR symposium tentatively beginning Sunday afternoon, May 27th.

The confirmed invited speakers are Michèle Auger (Laval), Jochen Autscbach (SUNY - Buffalo), Alex Bain (McMaster), Darren Brouwer (Redeemer), David Bryce (Ottawa), Gillian Goward (McMaster), Yining Huang (Western), Scott Kroeker (Manitoba), Andrew MacFarlane (UBC), Karl T. Mueller (PNNL - Richland), Luke O'Dell (NRC Canada), Rob Schurko (Windsor), Victor Terskikh (NRC Canada), Gang Wu (Queen's).

In addition, the conference will feature the usual poster session. Finally, on Saturday, May 26th the National Ultrahigh-Field NMR Facility for Solids and Bruker Canada will be hosting the 7th Annual Solid-State NMR Workshop. I certainly hope that you and your colleagues can attend the workshop.

Please visit the conference web site http://www.csc2012.ca/ for a full list of symposia and for abstract submission instructions. All abstracts must be submitted on-line by Wednesday, February 15. The Web site also provides information on the many attractions in the Calgary area.

I am looking forward to seeing you in Calgary at the end of May. Very best wishes.

Yours sincerely,

Rod

24th Canadian Materials Science Conference – call for abstracts

We invite you to submit an abstract for presentation at the 24th CMSC, Materials: Atoms to Applications, which will be held at The University of Western Ontario, June 5-8, 2012. We are accepting abstracts for both oral and poster presentations; priority will be given to submissions by students.

The Conference has been expanded from its roots in metallurgy to include presentations related to many materials including bio- and nano-materials and composites; a somewhat more detailed list is shown on the attached flyer which we hope you will print and post/distribute to anyone you think might be interested in participating.

We hope you will forward this e-mail to any potential participants, including students and post-docs. Students who live in Canada more than 500 km from London, Ontario and are submitting abstracts may apply for travel support. Presenting students will automatically be entered into the appropriate competition; there will be prizes for the top presentations in each category.

All abstracts must be submitted through webHermes. Information about abstract submission may be found on the CMSC web site under "Abstract Submission"; any questions, problems, etc., please let us know.

We are delighted that Dr. Carlos Tomé (Los Alamos National Laboratories) will present the D.K.C. Memorial Lecture on Thursday evening, June 7, immediately after the banquet (included with registration). We are also pleased to announce that so far fifteen leading researchers in their fields of materials science have accepted our invitation to speak during the Conference.

Everyone who wishes to attend the 24th Canadian Materials Science Conference, whether presenting or not, must register for the Conference. The registration fee includes the opening reception on Tuesday evening, June 5, the poster reception on Wednesday, June 6 and the banquet on Thursday as well as lunches on Wednesday and Thursday, all coffee breaks and all conference materials including the Program/Abstract book. On-line registration is accessible through our web site as is access to reserving a room in Essex Hall on campus.

The University of Western Ontario campus, always beautiful, is especially so in early June; the weather should be superb. Niagara Falls and the superb wine country of the Niagara peninsula are about two hours away as is Toronto, Canada's largest city. The Stratford Shakespeare Festival (45 minutes away) and Shaw Festival (~2.5 hours away) will be offering many presentations before, during and after the CMSC.

We hope to see you in London in June not only attending the 24th CMSC but participating as a presenter of a talk or a poster. webHermes is available for abstract submission from now through midnight, March 5.

Any questions, comments, etc., please let us know.

See you in June.
