Basic Laboratory Electronics for Scientists Instructor: James B. Calvert, Ph.D., P. E., July 30-31, 1987, Tuition: $300 ($250 for members of ACS, RMCDG, SAS) This two day intensive course will take the student from the basic physics of electronics and electrical circuits to the design and troubleshooting of transistor and op-amp circuits, power supplies and the control of electromagnetic actuators. No previous knowledge of electronics is assumed. The course will be both quantitative and experimental. You will work with a kit of components, making circuits and testing them with electronic instruments. You will become familiar with common electronic components and learn how to assemble them. The course will familiarize you with the fundamental concepts useful in electronics, such as impedance levels, single-time constant circuits, feedback, and working models for semiconductor devices. These concepts will allow you to understand and use electronics with increased confidence.
Contaminants in Ground Water and Potable Water: Sources, Transformations, Detection and Quantitation Instructors: E. Thurman, Ph.D. and M. Reddy, Ph.D., July 30-31 and August 1, 1987, Tuition: $425 ($375 for members of ACS, RMCDG, SAS) This course will review current sampling methods for organic and inorganic contaminants in water; discuss recent advances dealing with the sources, movement, distribution and removal of contaminants in surface and ground water; and evaluate current and developing analytical methodology for major ions, trace elements and organic contaminants in water. The objective of the course is to present the requirements of a comprehensive contaminant investigation, through lectures, notes, slides, handouts and field trips to an advanced water treatment facility and a hazardous waste disposal site in the Denver area. The course will examine a wide range of topics to benefit both beginners and experienced professionals involved in the study of contaminants in the environment.
Basic Principles of Mass Spectrometry and Interpretation of Organic Mass Spectra Instructors: 3. A. Zirrolli, Ph.D. and C. M. Moynihan, July 29-31, 1987, Tuition: $325 ($275 for members of ACS, RMCDG, SAS) This course will describe the principles of modern mass spectrometry and apply them to the identification of organic compounds. Sample introduction methods (GC, vapor, direct probe), ionization processes (positive, negative, FAB, chemical, electronic), mass analysis and detection will be discussed with emphasis on molecular ion analysis and simple fragmentation processes. The course will develop an approach to the determination of elemental composition and diagnostic fragmentation patterns, and the student will become familiar with the mass spectra characteristic of common organic compound classes, drugs, pesticides and pollutants. The course is based upon and uses as a reference the text, Interpretation of Organic Mass Spectra, Third Edition by F. W. McLafferty, University Science Books, 1980.
