Water Hygiene Testing<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nTwo Lancaster University engineers will require access to kitchens and shared bathrooms to test hot water temperatures.\u00a0 The engineers will not test every kitchen\/bathroom just a sample from different locations within the building.\u00a0 This brief survey will take approximately five minutes, and is to ensure that the hot water is maintained at the correct temperature to prevent any instances of legionella. There will be no shutdown of service.<\/p>\nSafety Induction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\nSpeaker<\/strong>: Prof Brian Hayden
\nVenue: <\/strong>Frankland Colloquium<\/p>\n
\nAbstract: <\/strong>Combinatorial synthesis and high-throughput screening methods for the discovery and optimization of solid-state materials and catalysts have their routes in the pharmaceutical industry, but were slower to develop for solid-state systems because of the difficulties of reliably synthesizing such materials, and the challenges in developing fast and reliable screening methods. There are several approaches that have been taken centred on thin film materials, however a step change in the development of new functional materials has taken place with the introduction of high-throughput synthesis based on MBE based evaporation sources combined with plasma atom sources. The advantages of this synthetic approach, which provides a low kinetic barrier to compound formation, the direct synthesis of amorphous materials and of complex ion compounds, and the synthesis of supported nano-particles will be emphasized. Strategies for \u201con-chip\u201d screening, materials characterization and integrated informatics with the goal of understanding the function\/composition\/structure relationship will be exemplified.<\/p>\nLibrary & Information Skills: Summer term<\/strong><\/h2>\n
