1st CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
Unmoderated group sci.techniques.xtallography
Newsgroups line:
sci.techniques.xtallography The field of crystallography.
This CFV is also being submitted for inclusion in a crystallographic
newsletter edited by Dr Martha Teeter and distributed by email.
Votes must be recieved by Wednesday, Oct 13, 1993 11:59:59 GMT
This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting
questions only, contact rdippold@qualcomm.com. For questions about
the proposed group, contact Lachlan Cranswick <lachlan@dmp.csiro.au>.
news.announce.newgroups moderator's note: I (tale@uunet.uu.net) accept
responsibility for the name. If you have a demur with it, please do
not flame the proposer.
Charter of Proposed Newsgroup
The purpose of sci.techniques.xtallography is to provide a forum for
anyone interested in using the "power" of the internet newsgroups to
discuss (in "near real time"!) issues, results, problems and
applications in crystallography that would take months and years in
conventional paper journals. It would also allow
non-crystallographers to find out how this field could assist their
work.
Please distribute this CFV to colleagues who may be interested in
voting on this newsgroup.
Topics for discussion would include:
Powder diffraction (neutron/X-rays)
Single crystal diffraction
Electron diffraction
Crystal Structure determination
Structure determination
Rietveld Refinement
Software
Data formats
Databases
Hardware/Equipment - specs, alignment, opinions, etc.
Phase Identification - search match software/techniques/....
Discussion of complementary/confirmatory techniques :-
e.g.:- SEM, XRF, MicroProbe, AFM, STM, Optical Microscopy......
Applications to the fields of Mineralogy, Geology,
Physics, Chemistry, Industry
Announcements/reviews of papers/conferences.
Preparation techniques.
Non-ambient techniques (high-pressure/temperature/??)
Discussion on the accuracy/validity of various structures
and reference patterns.
General Discussion/opinions/questions.
Synchrotron radiation
Positions vacant
Crystallographic texture determination
Biological crystallography and applications
TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy)
Structural analysis of disordered (i.e. amorphous) materials.
Anything else that is relevant to crystallography in general.
STANDARD VOTING INFO
You should send MAIL (posts to a group are invalid) to
voting@qualcomm.com
(just replying by MAIL to this message should work). Your mail
message should contain one and only one of the following statements:
I vote YES on sci.techniques.xtallography
or
I vote NO on sci.techniques.xtallography
Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program.
If you later change your mind you may also use send in an "abstain"
vote in the same manner, using "abstain" in place of "yes" or "no".
Mail acknowledgements will be sent to all voters.
Standard Guidelines for voting apply - one vote per person (not per
account). 100 more YES votes than NO votes and 2/3 of all votes being
YES are the requirements for group creation.
