Becas en los EEUU

Estimado Dr., aqum le envio un anuncio sobre becas para Maestrma y
Doctorado en Ciencias de Polmmeros en la Universidad de Akron, en Akron,
Ohio, EEUU. Le agradecerma si lo puede distribuir entre sus estudiantes
por Email u otro medio. Gracias.

El grupo de fisico-qummica tesrica del Departamento de Ciencia de
Polmmeros de la Universidad de Akron en Akron, Ohio, Estados Unidos, esta
buscando dos estudiantes graduados con una sslida formacisn acadimica
para los programas de Masterma (Master of Science) y Doctorado (Ph.D.) en
Polymer Science. En particular, estamos buscando Licenciados en
Qummica/Fisico-qummica (tesricos), Licenciados en Fmsica e Ingenieros
Qummicos/Materiales.

Los interesados deben poseer el titulo de Licenciado, Ingeniero, Masters
o equivalente y no poseer un Doctorado en el momento de enviar la
aplicacisn. Los aplicantes deben enviar el resultado del examen TOEFL
(requerido por la universidad, puntaje mmnimo acceptable: 550 PBT o 213
CBT). Se recomienda que el aplicante tome el examen GRE general y/o
especmfico en su area (no hay un puntaje mmnimo para el GRE). El tiempo
estimado para la obtencisn del tmtulo Master of Science es de 2 aqos. El
tiempo estimado para completar el doctorado (Ph.D.) es de 2 aqos despuis
de haber obtenido la Maestrma.

Los proyectos de interis del grupo son los siguientes:
1) Simulaciones Computacionales de proteinas (titin, lysosyme, etc.) y
polmmeros sintiticos usando Dinamica Molecular (Molecular Dynamics) en
supercomputadoras del tipo Beowulf. Simulaciones Monte Carlo de polmmeros
sintiticos representados por modelos del tipo coarse-grainned. Este
zltimo proyecto incluye polmmeros con estructura secundaria y en espacios
confinados.

World-wide Survey on the State of Finite Element Practice

From: Paul Newton - NAFEMS <info@...>
Reply-To: Paul Newton - NAFEMS <info@...>
To: Victorio Sonzogni <sonzogni@...>

Dear Colleague,

This e-mail is an invitation to participate in a worldwide survey on the 
use of finite element (and related) technology. The survey is being 
carried out by FENET (www.fe-net.org), which is a network of various 
organisations with the common objective of improving both the quality of 
industrial applications of finite element technology and the level of 
confidence that can be placed in the computed results. The network is 
engaged in a range of activities aimed at facilitating the effective 
exchange of experience and knowledge amongst the different industrial 
sectors. This questionnaire is an attempt to obtain an overview of the 
current finite element scene throughout the world. In addition to 
seeking the views of industrial users, the views of software vendors and 
academia are also being sought.

The results of the questionnaire will be made available to all 
respondents. In addition to documenting current state of practice, by 
industry sector, it is anticipated that the results will provide the 
basis for other useful business benefits, including 

7 Input to technical strategies and roadmaps;
7 A focus for identifying potential areas of competitive advantage;
7 Identification of areas for possible code development;
7 Identification of differences in awareness and use of technology 
across sectors;
