First Announcement
International Symposium on Isotopomers
(ISI 2001)
Yokohama, Japan
24-27 July, 2001
_______________________________
Background: Isotopes have been used to trace material cycles in the
atmosphere, the oceans, the terrestrial environment and the biosphere.
Researches have been developing from single isotope analysis to
multi-isotope tracer analysis. Recent progress in the site-specific analysis
of isotopes in isotope-containing molecular species such as organic molecule
analysis on site-specific NMR and pyrolysis IRMS, theoretical considerations
on ozone and nitrous oxide very recently by several determining methods. The
term, isotopomer (isotope-containing molecules), includes two aspects;
multi-isotopes and intramolecular isotope distributions. Since the term,
isotopomer, is relatively new, so that it is accepted in this Symposium as a
widely defined term including isotopes.
Objective: The focus of the Symposium is to exchange the latest scientific
achievements in the measurement and analysis of isotopomers from the studies
of environmental changes to further application in a variety of fields. The
Symposium will call for papers from a wide area of researches on
isotope-containing molecules with or without site-specific information to
achieve this objective as follows.
1) Methodology innovations for isotopomers by mass spectrometers with and
without continuous-flow modifications, tunable diode laser absorption
spectrometers, FTIR, site-specific NMR and others.
2) Synthesis and maintenance of isotopomer standard materials and
inter-laboratory calibrations.
3) Observations of isotopomer variations in the atmosphere, the oceans, the
terrestrial environment and the biosphere.
4) Theoretical considerations and simulation experiments on the equilibrium
and kinetic isotopomer effects of the important processes and mechanisms.
5) Estimates of the cycles of materials by data simulation analysis and/or
models.
6) Further applications of isotopomers in the various fields.
The papers to be presented at the Symposium will be composed of invited
papers, accepted oral and poster papers. Participation by younger
generations of the isotope and/or isotopomer community, as well as by
newcomers to the community is especially encouraged in addition to more
experienced researchers.
Japan Science and Technology Corporation organize this Symposium with
co-organization of International Atomic Energy Agency and some other
potential organizations which will be arranged in second announcement. This
symposium is closely related with a half-day session on isotopomers in Third
IAEA Conference on the Study of Environmental Change Using Isotope
Techniques, 23-27 April 2001, Vienna, Austria, which will be co-organized by
JST.
Date, Venue, and Technical Tour: The Symposium will be held for 4 days from
24 to 27 July (Tuesday to Friday) in 2001. The venue for the Symposium is
Yokohama, 100m to the Yokohama port facing to the Pacific, the historical
place for opening of the once and long closed Japan 100 years ago, one of
the main site of the 2002 world cup also, 1.5 hr direct limousine from
Narita Int'l Air Port, and 20 km south of Tokyo down town. Pre-symposium
technical tour is scheduled on 24 July for laboratories in Yokohama Campus
of Tokyo Institute of Technology and some research labs will be involved.
Important dates of the Symposium: The tentative schedule of the Isotopomer
Symposium is as follows (subject to change):
May 2000: Distribution of the First Circular and opening of a website
in our url (http://nylab.chemenv.titech.ac.jp/ISI2001/isi2001.html) for
announcing the Isotopomer Symposium (ISI 2001).
August 2000: Distribution of the Second Circular for providing
Symposium information (members of the program and local committees,
sessions, deadlines for short and extended abstracts and manuscripts of the
proceedings, registration and hotel reservation forms, limited support of
traveling expenses, and so on) and updating of the website.
January 2001: Deadline for submission of short abstracts for the
review process and early registration.
May 2001: Deadline for submission of extended abstracts,
hotel reservations and late registration.
June 2001: Final announcement of the Symposium.
July 2001: International Isotopomer Symposium, submission of
manuscripts of the proceedings.
* We would appreciate it if you could send a copy of the announcement to the
scientists who might be interested in the Symposium but have not received
this announcement. Please let us know if you can nominate potential
contributors to the Symposium.
