Also I have tried to reduce the line length as some sites were having problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ChE Electronic Newsletter back-issues available from ftp archive To access the archive, ftp to cc.curtin.edu.au and login with a username of 'anonymous' and a password of your name. If you look in the directory 'chemeng' (by typing cd chemeng) you will find an archive of back issues. Use the 'ls' and 'get' commands to list the files and retrieve them to your computer. Use 'quit' to finish. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep items brief - say max 12-15 lines if possible. INDEX OF ITEMS INCLUDED Item 1. Mailing List Problems Item 2. Programs for "Microhydrodynamics" Textbook. Item 3. Ohio State University Postdoctoral Fellowship Item 4. Contents of the Newsletter? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM 1: Mailing List Problems I have had some problems with the mailing list for the last few issues and some of you have not received them. It is now fixed and you can access back issues through the archive files as detailed at the beginning of the newsletter. Sorry for the inconvenience. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM 2: Programs for Microhydrodynamics Textbook Submitted by Sangtae Kim "kim@chewi.che.wisc.edu" Dept of Chemical Engineering University of Wisconsin - Madison Announcing an ANONYMOUS FTP SERVER with FREE (public domain) Fortran and Macsyma programs for use with: "Microhydrodynamics: Principles and Selected Applications" Butterworth-Heinemann Series in Chemical Engineering Sangtae Kim & Seppo J. Karrila, Butterworth-Heinemann, Boston, 1991. ISBN 0-7506-9173-5 512 pp. $64.95 The procedure for using the anonymous ftp server is: ftp doug.cae.wisc.edu Name (...): anonymous password: * cd pub/microhydro * cd ch13 * get mandr.f * bye Note: doug.cae.wisc.edu has IP number 128.104.193.67 The procedure above replaces similar instructions in the book concerning an ftp server on "flossie.che.wisc.edu". -------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM 3: Ohio State University Postdoctoral Fellowship From: brodkey@KCGL1.eng.ohio-state.edu The purpose of the Ohio State University Postdoctoral Fellowships are to attract to our campus recent recipients (within the past 5 years) of the Ph.D. degree who show clear promise of becoming outstanding researchers and scholars. Nominations must be submitted by the OSU Graduate Faculty member with whom the Fellow would work. The program is University wide and is sponsored by the Graduate School. Applications are due in January for awards that would start in the Fall of the same year. Interested candidates should first indicate their interest to the e-mail address above or to the address provided below. Make sure you indicate your area of research interest, the faculty member who might be your sponsor, and some details on your background and qualifications. These awards are highly competitive and only outstanding candidates with proven research track records should apply. You should indicate your interest as early in the Fall quarter as possible as the proposal that the faculty member must submit in your behalf is lengthy and considerable time is needed for its proper preparation. Professor Robert S. Brodkey Department of Chemical Engineering The Ohio State University 140 W. 19th Ave. Columbus, OH 43210-1180, USA The areas of research covered by the faculty of Chemical Engineering are: Robert S.

It has been pointed out to me that some people object to me including details of my own activities, e.g. book publications, etc. My intention is that the newsletter can contain anything of relevance to chemical engineers. I am quite happy to publicise your activities/publications, just send me the details. I suppose I draw the line at company advertisements. Martyn Ray -------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM 5: If I missed any items I apologise, please e-mail me and I will include next time. -------------------------------------------------------------------- END OF THIS ISSUE Next issue due end-April - depending upon number of items received. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Editor and Curtin University accept no responsibility for the views expressed or consequences arising from the information or its use as contained in any article included in this newsletter (usual disclaimers apply). The author of each article is responsible for the contents and any effects. -------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL POINTS 1. Welcome. This is the 'n'th transmission of the ChE Electronic Newsletter (renamed from Chemical Engineering Digest, the 1st edition) via my e-mail chemical engineering mailing list. Please ignore the list of names that appear at the start of the message. I am working on removing these. 2. Please publicise the newsletter to colleagues (and students) who may be interested in joining the list. 3. Send BRIEF items to the editor (trayms) for inclusion in the next issue. These can be requests for information or data, information on meetings and seminars, details of a new book to be published, discussion of a journal article, details of vacant faculty positions, sabatical leave, etc. 4. We now have a chemical engineering newsgroup (sci.engr.chem) on the net for general communications. This digest is for more important and specific items and goes direct to a targetted audience. Also at Curtin items are deleted from newsgroups after 7 days, the newsletter stays in your mailbox until read. Items may be included both in this newsletter and sci.engr.chem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
