9907766SchanzeThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on the past, present and future of photosynthesis and photoconversion to be held in Okazaki, Japan for one week in November l999. The co-organizers are Professor Kirk Schanze of the University of Florida and Professor Suehiro Iwata of the Okazaki National Research Institute in Japan. The theme of the seminar is broadly centered on the topic of photosynthesis and energy conversion (artificial photosynthesis). The seminar will focus on significant advances that have been made in these areas during the previous two decades as well as topics of current interest in the field. The topics include: 1) semiconductor photoelectrochemistry, dye-sensitization of semiconductor colloids and application of photocatalysis to environmental remediation; 2) fundamental and applied topics in molecular and supramolecular photochemistry related to photoconversion including ultrafast spectroscopy, molecular charge transfer, photoresponsive materials and photoconversion in chemical systems; 3) structure and function of photosynthetic reaction centers, synthetic model systems for the photosynthetic reaction center, artificial photosynthesis; and 4) molecular regulation of photosynthesis and genetic engineering of photosynthetic efficiency. The areas of physics, chemistry and biology being discussed are relevant to many current global problems. These include the need for development of energy efficient economies and alternative (i.e., non-fossil fuel) energy sources, global warming and advanced agricultural technology. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger scientists. The proceedings of the meeting are expected to be made available by the organizers on a specially constructed web-site that will be announced in appropriate newsletters (e.g., "The Inter-American Photochemical Society Newsletter," "The Spectrum," and "Japan Photochemical Society Newsletter"). They will further establish links to the site at established chemistry and photoscience related web sites. ***

9907766SCHANZETHIS奖支持美国科学家参加的美国 - 日本研讨会，以在日本Okazaki的过去，现在和未来的光合作用和未来的光合作用和未来参与，该研讨会将于11月1199年11月在日本的冈萨基举行一周。 共同组织者是佛罗里达大学的柯克·尚尼（Kirk Schanze）教授和日本冈田国家研究所的苏希罗·伊瓦塔（Suehiro Iwata）教授。 研讨会的主题广泛集中在光合作用和能量转换的主题（人造光合作用）上。 研讨会将重点介绍在过去的二十年中在这些领域取得的重大进步以及当前对该领域感兴趣的主题。 主题包括：1）半导体光电化学，半导体胶体的染料敏化以及光催化的应用到环境修复中； 2）与光转化有关的分子和超分子光化学的基本和应用主题，包括超快光谱，分子电荷转移，光反应材料和化学系统中的光转换； 3）光合反应中心的结构和功能，光合反应中心的合成模型系统，人工光合作用； 4）光合作用效率的光合作用和基因工程的分子调节。正在讨论的物理，化学和生物学领域与许多当前的全球问题有关。 其中包括需要开发节能经济和替代品（即非化石燃料）能源，全球变暖和先进的农业技术。 与该领域日本专家的想法和数据交流将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为将来的协作项目奠定基础。 研讨会组织者已经特别努力让年轻的科学家参与。 预计会议的会议将由组织者提供专门构建的网站，该会议将在适当的新闻通讯（例如“美洲光化学学会新闻通讯”，“频谱”和“日本光化学化学化学化学化学化学”中宣布的特殊构建的网站。社会通讯”）。 他们将进一步在既定的化学和相关网站上建立指向该网站的链接。 ***
