Filtering messages on lists
by waw22＠xtrn.org 07 Jul '97

07 Jul '97

I am running a service in The Alchemist webzine on ChemWeb.com summarizing the messages put on listserves during the preceding month. For this "Filternet" service, I ignore job postings, meetings announcements, and "trivia". (I do use the meetings announcements where relevant for my own Web site or for ChemWeb.com's events listing.) I would welcome comments on how useful this Filternet service is and how it could be improved. In order to run Filternet, I use the Web archives of the lists. At the moment I am covering chminf-l, mol-diversity, and chemweb. I am also doing my best to cover piug-l but the archive is out of date and has some "oddities". I am ignoring chemind-l because it appears to be dead but I will cover it if someone officially informs me that it has a real owner and a usable archive. Sadly I cannot cover ACS MEDI or isisforum-l because they do not have Web archives (yet). Membership of ChemWeb.com is FREE. Sign in, go to The Alchemist and select Filternet. (You might also like to read Warr Zone and its archives while you are there.) (Apologies for duplicates caused by posting this message to multiple lists.)

Job opportunity
by Dr Mary Masson 02 Jul '97

02 Jul '97

A full-time position is available in the Chemistry Department, Aberdeen University from 1/9/97 or as soon as possible thereafter to develop software for teaching organic chemistry. The position is for one year only and the salary will be on the RA1A payscale (depending on qualifications and experience). Requirements: a first degree in chemistry and a higher degree (preferably PhD) in organic chemistry; good communication skills; some experience of and interest in teaching undergraduates; a thorough understanding of curly arrow mechanisms. Programming ability is NOT required. Aims: to develop software which will allow undergraduates (Scottish second year predominantly), working independently, to practise and develop the skill of writing curly arrow mechanisms for organic chemical reactions. A programming format will be provided, probably based on Web-authoring tools, and the person appointed will be expected to use a drawing package (e.g. ChemDraw or ChemWindow) to create structures and feedback for the students to learn from. The person appointed will be willing to work independently with guidance from Dr. Susan Armstrong (organic chemical aspects) and Dr. Mary Masson (computing aspects). If successful the work may be published in, for example, the Journal of Chemical Education. There will also be some opportunities to teach undergraduate classes during the year. Interested chemists should contact Dr. Armstrong (s.k.armstrong(a)abdn.ac.uk) as soon as possible, and in any case by 14th July, with a full CV and the names of two referees (including at least one organic chemist). ---------------------- Dr Mary Masson Department of Chemistry, University of Aberdeen, Meston Walk, Old Aberdeen AB24 3UE Tel. 01224 272931 m.masson(a)abdn.ac.uk chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.

WANTED: Info on Chemists Use of the Internet
by Jeremy A Evans 30 Jun '97

30 Jun '97

You are invited to contribute towards a study of the use of the Internet made by Chemists. This aims to identify the extent that chemists are using the Internet, and also what types of information they are obtaining, and from which sources. It also aims to identify gaps in the existing internet sources available. The information will be used as part of my MSc Dissertation, entitled "The Information use of the Internet made by Chemists." There is an online questionnaire at http://www.shef.ac.uk/uni/academic/I-M/is/students/intro.html I would be grateful if you could spend a few minutes to complete this questionnaire. Please also pass the URL on to your colleagues, and encourage them to complete the questionnaire.

Molecule of the Month
by Paul May 30 Jun '97

30 Jun '97

Hi, July's Molecule of the Month is Vancomycin, an antibiotic that can be used to kill resistant bacteria. The page has been written by Alan Bunch and Anthony Baines from the Research School of Biosciences at the University of Kent. Both Chime and non-Chime versions are available. Since the Chime version uses push buttons to display the molecular structure in various formats, it may not work properly on all browsers - although Netscape 3 is ok. The direct link is: http://biont.ukc.ac.uk/bio/teaching/motm/asp/intro.asp and it's also available from the MOTM page: http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Regards, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Paul May, School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, UK tel: +44 (0)117 9287667, fax: +44 (0)117 9251295 <mailto:paul.may@bris.ac.uk> <http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/staff/pwm.htm> "Why don't you just leave me alone with my thought" Homer Simpson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.

Post Doctoral Position
by Dr. Derek M. Bloor 30 Jun '97

30 Jun '97

------------------------------------------------------------------------ POST DOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FORMULATION OF MULTIPLE PHASE MATERIALS Kinetic and Thermodynamic Activities We have a post doctoral assistantship available for 1 year from 1st October 1997 (negotiable) on the above project. The project will examine the potential of developments in time-resolved X-ray/CD measurements with stopped-flow fast mixing cells, and ion-selective electrodes, for understanding the complex phase behaviour and time-dependent changes in multi-phase formulations comprised of crystals, mesophases and liquids. The research has potential applications to a wide range of speciality healthcare and general household products. Success will give methods for improved product performance and more efficient product formulation/development, leading to a reduction in the time required to market new products - a key requirement in the global economy. The position will be based at UMIST in Manchester with time also spent at Salford University and the CLRC Daresbury Lab. Please apply in writing or e-mail to myself or to Prof. Gordon Tiddy UMIST Dept Chemical Engineering PO Box 88 Manchester M60 1QD -------------------------------------------------- Dr. Derek M.

Software:Equation Editor for MSWD(Mac)
by brian＠bert.chem.wsu.edu 27 Jun '97

27 Jun '97

Can anyone give me names (or testimonials if you have them) of equation editors that can be used with MicrosoftWord for Macs? I know MSWD come with an eqn. editor, but since it's object based, it's difficult to globally manipulate equations (change all V's to U's, or double the size of all integral symbols). I'm looking for something that functionally behaves like Endnote does for references. Perhaps an equation file that is searchable and manipulatable that can later be "re-plugged" back in to Word. The various species of TEX and ROFF were great at this because they were essentially a markup language. Typing and correcting permutations of my potential functions over and over is getting to be a drag. -Brian -- ============================================================================= | .---------.| Brian W.
