The award, which will be presented for the first time this year, consists of $500, a plaque, and travel expenses to the Eastern Analytical Symposium in November in Somerset, NJ, where Brown will receive the award at a sympo­sium in his honor. Brown's research in­terests include digital filters, multivariate methods for multicomponent analysis, calibration transfer, neural networks, and multivariate nonlinear methods for modeling nonlinear chemical systems.

Karger to receive CE award Barry Karger, professor of chemistry at

the Barnett Insti­tute, Northeastern University, will re­ceive the Frederick Conference on Cap­illary Electrophore­sis Award for his contributions to the

field of CE. Karger pioneered the use of gel-filled capillaries to separate biomole-cules. The award will be presented at the 7th Annual Frederick Conference on Capil­lary Electrophoresis in October at Hood College in Frederick, MD.

Ten students to receive graduate fellowships Ten analytical chemistry graduate stu­dents have been selected by the ACS Divi­sion of Analytical Chemistry to receive fellowships for either the academic year ($14,000 paid over nine months) or for the summer ($4650 paid over three months). The program encourages basic research in analytical chemistry and recognizes its future leaders.

Full-year fellowships Paul Edmiston of the University of Ari­

zona (Scott Saave-dra). Edmiston uses the combina­tion of waveguide-attenuated total-reflection linear dichroism and total internal-reflection

fluorescence anisotropy measurements to characterize protein films in situ at the solid-liquid interface. His fellowship is sponsored by Procter & Gamble.

Peter Gavin of The Pennsylvania State University (An­drew Ewing). Gavin has devel­oped an individu­ally addressable electrochemical array detection scheme for contin­

uous separations by electrophoresis in narrow channels which is used to moni­tor chemical transmitters released from single cells in response to pharmacologi­cal stimuli. His fellowship is sponsored by DuPont

Neil Kelleher of Cornell University (Fred McLafferty and Tadhg Beg-ley). Kelleher uses electrospray ioniza­tion FT-MS to de­velop novel schemes for DNA-derived sequence

refinement and active site location for large proteins. From fragmentation of 42-kDa molecular ions, he has pinpointed microheterogeneity, a reading frame se-quence error and the active site without prior proteolytic degradation. His fellow­ship is sponsored by Perkin Elmer.

Robert Lascola of the University of Wisconsin-Madi­son (John C. Wright). Lascola is developing new methods for mea­suring the nonlin­ear optical suscep­tibilities oo fharged

fullerenes and for examining specific elec­tronic-state contributions to these suscep­tibilities. His fellowship is sponsored by Eastman Chemical.

Scott T. Quarmby of fhe University of Florida (Richard A. Yost). Quarmby is studying the funda­mental process in which ions injected from an electro-spray ion source into a quadrupole

ion-trap mass spectrometer are trapped. He expects to optimize injection condi­tions to improve detection limits, prevent mass discrimination, and limit fragmenta­tion. His fellowship is sponsored by Eli Lilly

Summer fellowships Richard W. Hammond oo the Univer­

sity of Michigan (Michael D. Mor­ris). Hammond is using high-frame-rate video fluores­cence microscopy to study the mech­anism of fast DC

and pulsed-field CE DNA separations in a new dilute polymer solution media. His fellowship is sponsored by the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP).

Richard L. Hansen of the University of Utah Ooel M. Harris). Hansen is exploring laser-based methodolo­gies designed to probe molecular and colloidal dy­namics at the liq­

uid-solid interface, lateral transport at the interface, and adsorption-desorption ki­netics near the single-molecule limit. His fellowship is sponsored by SACP.

Paul T. Jackson of fhe University of Minnesota (Peter W.Carr). Jackson is investigating alternative HPLC supports based on porous micropartic-ulate zirconia. His fellowship is spon­

sored by The Dow Chemical Co.

Stephen T. Sum of the University of Delaware (Steven D.Brown). Sum is working on trans­ferring multivariate calibrations be­tween analytical instruments. His fellowship is spon­

sored by SACP.

Bogdan Szostek of Southern Illinois University Qohn A Koropchak). Szos­tek is modeling signal generation and response for condensation nu-cleation light-scat­tering detection

and interfacing it to CE for separating and detecting underivatized amino acids, pep-

tides, and proteins. His fellowship is spon­sored by SACP.

Nominations Applications are being accepted for the 1997-98 Division of Analytical Chemistry Graduate Fellowships. Five full-year and five summer fellowships are expected to be awarded.

The fellowships are open to full-time graduate students working toward a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry who will have com­pleted their second year of graduate stud­ies by the time their fellowship begins. The applicant's graduate adviser must be a member of the Division, and only one nomination per adviser will be accepted. Applicants for awards in previous years are encouraged to reapply. In addition to the application forms, nominees must sub­mit letters of recommendation and under­graduate and graduate transcripts. Appli­cations are available from Robert A. Libby, Division of Science Truman State Univer­sity 100 East Normal Kirksville MO 63501-4221 (816-785-7499; fax 816-785-4045)

Coblentz Society nominations solicited The Coblentz Society is requesting nomi­nations for the Coblentz, Williams-Wright, Bomem-Michelson, and Ellis R. Lippincott awards.
