Day 1:
1. Basics: spins polarization, pulsed NMR, precession, FID signal and sensitivity, relaxation times (KS)
2. Technical details: function of a pulsed NMR spectrometer (GH)>
3. Data acquisition and processing: Fourier trans-formation, phases and offsets, sampling issues (GH)
This workshop is for PhD candidates and others who are either publishing in international journals, or soon will be. The modules therefore explore how scientific writers can satisfy the expectations of international, English-speaking journal editors, and boost their chances of publication. Participants will learn the techniques they need to write well structured papers which communicate the value of their research with impact and clarity.
This workshop will give you the opportunity to examine the distinctions between communication styles at work – support-oriented (horizontal) versus status-oriented (vertical); these communication styles can determine success or failure within a largely male-dominated environment.
From elemental particles and fundamental forces via atoms and molecules to intermolecular forces
– Amphiphilicity and self-assembly, hydrophobic, fluorophobic… etc. effects
– Interface curvature and self-assembly of amphiphiles and polymers
– Minimal surfaces and networks
