Hi, ECN is migrating the server that most of our printing jobs pass through this evening so printing to network printers will not be available between 5:30pm and about 7pm tonight - if you have a printer connected directly to your computer you will not be affected. If you are here after 7pm and are unable to print you may try re-booting your computer first. Thanks, Mike ******************** Mike Harrington Computer Facilities Manager Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765-494-6428 mph(a)purdue.edu

Storage of Strong acids
by Zvinevich, Yury 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

ChE Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students, As you know OSHA did inspection of our Department and we performed well and showed good results of Safety culture in our labs, offices and auditoriums. Safety Committee provided audit of several labs on December 6-th addressing OSHA issues. It came to our attention that one aspect of chemicals storage needs to be reviewed and adequate measures have to be taken to comply with OSHA and Purdue Chemical Hygiene Plan. We want to remind to segregate storage of Strong acids. Strong Acids: e.g. hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, perchloric, phosphoric Must be stored separate from weak acids (acetic and formic are combustible) or flammable solvents. Mixing either of these with Strong acids will produce heat and may result in a fire or explosion. Special cases: * nitric acid - is also a strong oxidizer (see below). * perchloric acid: is a very strong oxidizer when heated and can be dangerous; should always be held in a secondary container (e.g. a plastic tub). * chloric acid: is also a very strong oxidizer. Such strong oxidizers must not be stored near any compounds that can be oxidized (like acetic acid or any flammable solvents/solids). We ask that each research group review, discuss and follow-up on this issues. Please contact any of the ChE Safety Committee members for assistance. Safety Committee wish you Safe and Happy Holidays! Yury Zvinevich School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University Forney Hall of Chemical Engineering, Room G111A 480 Stadium Mall Drive West Lafayette, IN 47907-2100 Tel.: (765) 494-9368 Fax: (765) 494-0805 E-mail: yuryzv(a)purdue.edu<mailto:yuryzv@purdue.edu> https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/Directory/Staff/yuryzv.html

07 Dec '12

Dear Colleagues, Dr. Andrea Kasinski (Yale University) is our first Biology faculty candidate for an Epigenetics and Cancer Biology search. Andrea's research is focused on exploring the use of miRNAs to dissect tumor initiating pathways and as potential therapeutics in treating disease. She will present a seminar on Tuesday 12/11 at 9 AM in PFEN 241. I hope that you will be able to attend and hear some exciting science on miRNAs and cancer. Thanks for your support.
