FOUR IMPORTANT SESSIONS
LEARN FROM THE LEADERS . . . I N PERSON!
ACS INTENSIVE SHORT COURSES May 3-6,1977 Philadelphia Marriott, Philadelphia, Pa. A hands-on course that lets you predict and explain the results you obtain at the lab bench
Understand the dynamics of a company's operations and how to be a part of its growth
THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY
ECONOMICS FOR CHEMISTS AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERS
DATES: May 3-4,1977 (Tuesday and Wednesday)
DATES: May 5-6,1977 (Thursday and Friday)
INSTRUCTORS: Dr. Victor W. Rodwell, Professor of Biochemistry, Purdue University and Dr. Donald J. McNamara, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, the Rockefeller University
INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Aimison Jonnard, Chief, Energy and Chemicals Division, International Trade Commission FEE: ACS Members, $195.00; Non-members, $235.00
FEE: ACS Members, $195.00; Non-members, $235.00 Combinins lecture sessions with laboratory periods in which registrants conduct TLC experiments, this course provides a sound balance between learning and doing. The lectures explain the fundamental physical and chemical principles that underlie chromatographic separations by adsorption and partition TLC. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on the use of these principles in predicting and explaining results obtained, by the registrant, at the laboratory bench. Time is allotted for discussion of problems of particular interest to individual participants. In addition to novices studying the subject for the first time, chemists and technicians with TLC experience will find this course a valuable aid. Registrants should have the equivalent of a B.A./B.S. in chemistry
This course in economics and business practices provides an understanding of the dynamics of a company's operations, from ongoing business management to commercializing new product lines and sustaining competition in a fast-changing industry Problems posed by the condition of the national economy, and possible solutions to them, are discussed in the context of their effect on the individual, his company, and the chemical industry in general. No previous training in business or economics is required. Hands-on! Learn how to construct and use HPLC apparatus
HIGH PRESSURE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY APPARATUS WORKSHOP
Learn to make more effective use of your creative potential in solving research, production and other work-related problems
CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING DATES: May 5-6,1977 (Thursday and Friday) INSTRUCTOR: Eugene Raudsepp, President, Princeton Creative Research, Princeton, NJ. FEE: ACS Members, $195.00; Non-members, $235.00 Designed to enhance innate creative capabilities, this new ACS Short Course will aid participants in producing better and more effective solutions to the problems encountered in their work. The course, taught at the level of a university graduate course, focuses on the factors that inhibit creative problem solving and expression and on methods and techniques to overcome them. Research chemists, chemical engineers and other technical professionals interested in this vital topic will benefit.
DATES: May 5-6,1977 (Thursday and Friday) INSTRUCTORS: Dr. David H. Freeman, Professor of Chemistry, University of Maryland. Dr. Freeman will be assisted by representatives of several leading LC manufacturers. FEE: ACS Members, $195.00; Non-members, $235.00 This introductory course teaches participants all of the basic design concepts and experimenter skills needed to make, modify, repair and use LC apparatus. Participants will learn novel advantages of low pressure programming as well as such techniques as how to make connections between union fittings and high pressure tubing, how to sieve and prepare column packings, and how to develop a separation at the analytical, preparative and trace levels. High performance liquid chromatographs, of steel or of Teflon and glass, will be designed, constructed and operated by each participant.
Class size is limited, so early action is advised. Students, and retired and unemployed members: Write for information on special discounts. All four courses will be held at the Philadelphia Marriott, To register, or to obtain detailed information on the courses, write to: Department of Educational Activities, American Chemical Society, 1155 Sixteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036 or, CALL COLLECT: (202) 872-4508 March 14, 1977 C&EN
