MONDAY MEMO, MAY 28, 2007 **************** 1. Announcements **************** 1.1: Shut down of West Lab Wing for PM: We are planning to complete a needed six-month preventative maintenance of the west lab wing chemical exhaust and air makeup systems for ~3.5 hours, if not issues arise. The shut down of the west lab wing chemical exhaust and makeup air units are scheduled for June 12 starting at 5:30AM, to be completed by 9:00AM. Shutting these systems down will increase the temperature in all the west labs. Therefore, temperature sensitive equipment will need to be idled. Since west lab wing chemical exhaust system will be down, all chemicals will need to be removed from the fume hoods by 4:00PM on June 11. All process tools using chemical exhaust will be shut down during the PM time as well. Please contact MARK VOORHIS should you have any questions or concerns (43036; mvoorhis@purdue.edu). 1.2: Check out e-pubs ( http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/ <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/> ) <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/ <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/> )> Papers that were originally submitted to the Director's office have now been posted on the Discovery Park e-pub page. The Birck Center is a "community" listed under Discovery Park. Follow the links from the website referenced above to see Birck's listings. If you submitted a paper but don't see it listed, there are a few possible reasons: 1) the publisher has denied access to the posting of the paper on other websites; 2) the publisher has limitations regarding when a paper may be posted ( i.e., may be posted 12 months after the first publication date); or 3) your publication does not indicate Birck as an affiliation. One advantage of using this service is that you can easily provide others a link directly to the current list of your papers without adding separate links for each paper. For example, on Prof. Fisher's "Publications" website, he has included the following statement: "*Electronic versions of many journal articles are available on Purdue's e-Pubs site for the Birck Nanotechnology Center. For all other papers, please send requests by email." The underlined text above, "Purdue's e-Pubs site," contains written code that directs surfers to a sorted listing of his electronic articles (http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&field _2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1 <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1> <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1 <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1> <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1 > > <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1 <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1> <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1 > > <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1 <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1> <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/query.cgi?field_1=lname&value_1=Fisher&a mp;field_2=fname&value_2=Timothy&advanced=1 > > ). You may include this <a href> in the coded version of your own websites by simply using your first and last names where Tim has inserted his first and last names. Deborah S.
