by Davis, Linda S 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

ChE Faculty, Staff and Students, REM will be visiting Forney on Thursday afternoon, August 18, as part of our re-indemnification process. During the visit, REM will have access to all offices and labs in Forney. We do not know where they will visit. Areas where ChE has had past violations include: 1) Lab occupants not wearing safety glasses and other required PPE 2) Open chemical and waste containers: ALL chemical containers must be sealed. 3) Chemical and waste containers without labels: ALL chemical and waste containers must have a label that includes: 1) description of contents, 2) owner name or initials and 3) date. 4) Improperly secured cylinders: Every cylinder must be individually secured around the body of the cylinder. It is never OK to secure multiple cylinders or to secure a cylinder around the valve cap. We want the visit to go well. Thank you, in advance, for your efforts and help. Linda Linda S.

FRNY 1033 Computers
by Harrington, Michael P 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

I will need to 'close' Frny 1033 on Wednesday to make sure it is ready for classes. Please make sure you are logged off the machines by the end of the day on Tuesday, I will log off any computers that are still locked on Wednesday morning. I will probably keep that lab closed through Friday. I will be opening the computer lab in G023 on Tuesday so you can use those computers - they are the computers formerly located in FRNY 3041. -Mike Harrington ******************** Mike Harrington Computer Facilities Manager Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765-494-6428 mph(a)purdue.edu

FYI...................... From: Riese, Gail A [mailto:gariese@purdue.edu] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 8:11 AM Subject: All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Siren Test - Today, Monday, August 15 at 3:30 p.m. Communications Announcement Purdue University - Physical Facilities TO: Building Deputies [Please distribute]. FR: Campus Emergency Preparedness and Planning Office DA: Monday, August 15, 2011 RE: All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Siren Test - Today, Monday, August 15 at 3:30 p.m. This is a reminder that Purdue University will test its All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Sirens today at approximately 3:30 p.m. during the Boiler Gold Rush (BGR) orientation for new students. If there is inclement weather, the test will be cancelled. This is only a test and no action is necessary. There are three objectives to the test: Verify that each siren works; ensure the students know what the sirens sound like; and ensure students know what to do when the sirens are activated. BGR student leaders will provide this training immediately after the sirens are off. Please contact the Emergency Preparedness Office at 494-0446 if you have questions.

Reminder to submit requests to cheq
by Harrington, Michael P 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Hi, I just wanted to remind people to please submit requests for computer related issues - be it repairs, purchases, software install requests, etc to cheq(a)ecn.purdue.edu as opposed to mailing me directly. By doing this you create an item that we can track and the student workers can also see. If you are on an ECN deployed machine an even better option is to go to the following page: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/AboutUs/ContactUs (which is also available via Start, ECN Help, ECN Trouble Report on all ECN deployed machines) - that page has blanks for most pertinent information. Please be sure to select Chemical Engineering for the site. Thanks in advance. -Mike ******************** Mike Harrington Computer Facilities Manager Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765-494-6428 mph(a)purdue.edu

The Fragment Molecular Orbital (FMO) method is the all-electron fragmentation technique that allows performing fully quantum ab initio calculations at molecular systems consisting of thousands of atoms (polymers, proteins, materials). The aim of the workshop is to provide participants with a theory background and hands-on experience in running and analyzing FMO calculations. The workshop will be led by the experts and developers of the FMO method, Dr. Dmitri Fedorov (Nanosystem Research Institute, AIST, Japan) and Dr. Yuri Alexeev (ANL). FMO workshop, August 15, 1:00-5:30 pm, BRNG B291 1:00-2:00 pm - Theory of FMO method 2:00-3:00 pm - Practical course on modeling for FMO (FMOgen and FMOtools) 3:00-5:00 pm - Running and analyzing FMO calculations with GAMESS (using Facio and WinGAMESS) 5:00-5:30 pm - Q/A session The BRNG B291 room is equipped with ITAP computers. However, if you prefer, you may bring and use your own laptop. In this case, please also bring a flash drive for easy transfer of the information. We will provide all necessary software. Due to a limited space, we ask you to respond to Lyudmila Slipchenko lslipchenko(a)purdue.edu<mailto:lslipchenko@purdue.edu> and let us know whether you plan to attend. We will accommodate the participants on the first-respond-first-serve basis. Best regards, Lyudmila Slipchenko
