Your upgrade to Office 365 email will happen in the next few weeks, and we will next contact you one week beforehand to confirm when it will take place.<\/p>\n
To prepare for your upgrade <\/strong>\u2013 please complete a personal checklist. It will tell you what you need to do before and after your upgrade takes place: http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/iss\/office365-migration\/<\/a>. There\u2019s more information available via this link too.<\/p>\n When the upgrade takes place, you will\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0lose any emails and you\u2019ll still be able to access your existing email account while it happens.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re using an ISS supported Windows 7 PC\/laptop, you\u2019ll only be able to use the Outlook web app after your email upgrade unless you get your PC\/laptop upgraded to Windows 10. To move to Windows 10 before your email is upgraded, please contact office365feedback@lancaster.ac.uk<\/a> as soon as you can.<\/p>\n Not sure if you\u2019re using an\u00a0ISS supported Windows 7 computer<\/strong>? If you\u2019ve got a PCInfo icon on your desktop it\u2019s a supported one, and clicking on the icon will tell you whether it\u2019s Windows 7 or Windows 10. Ruth Harries (Paterson)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The upgraded Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge will reserve up to 25 per cent of its equipment time for researchers from other institutions, the physics lab\u2019s head has told Research Fortnight.<\/strong><\/p>\n Work on the \u00a3300-million facility at the university\u2019s West Cambridge site could start by the summer. This third home for the Cavendish, the largest physics and astronomy department in the UK, should be finished by December 2021. According to a spokeswoman from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the national status of the lab was \u201ca key rationale\u201d for the government\u2019s decision to invest. Funding the Cavendish with the condition of opening up its facilities allows the government to improve the sharing of capital equipment between researchers and institutions, she said. A six-member committee will steer the facility\u2019s operation, Parker said. Four of them will be university academics, including the pro vice-chancellor for research of the University of Cambridge, Chris Abell. The names of the other committee members will be announced in the next two months.<\/p>\n See more at: https:\/\/www.researchprofessional.com\/0\/rr\/news\/uk\/universities\/2018\/1\/Cambridge-lab-to-be-open-to-all.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=rpMailing&utm_campaign=personalNewsDailyUpdate_2018-01-31#sthash.Qn6pbbVv.dpuf<\/a><\/p>\n Rob Lewsey<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Make more with less – HKP nanomaterials \/ nanostructures in non-religious clean- green- & hightech for transportation, energy & economy Any modern society considers sustainability, saving resources and increasing performance every day and our all future will be ruled by materials as never before. Based on general materials limitation, goal (a) is “making more with less” and since materials consumption contradicts with such limited resources, goal (b) is recycling. Both are leading to advanced materials processing with the utilization of larger surface and finer structures leading to nanostructures.<\/p>\n The more modern and developed the society is, the higher are the innovation barriers represented by regulations and standards but also by availablity “close to satisfaction”. E. g. cleantech for transportation suffers on the very cost effective \/ high quality (even including very clean) availability of fossil based transportation\/automotive technology and infrastructure. About 135 years ago, the first commercial combustion engine did operate a few hours in lifespan, today a fuelcell is required to operate thousands of hours under extreme safety regulations particularly with respect to hydrogen.<\/p>\n Even the political driven and not very scientific nor realistic horror scenario around CO2\/Carbon Footprint\/IPCC could and cannot help. There is nothing wrong with carbon but fossiles since hundred years are too good and too short just for burning them away. There is something very wrong with our politics as we do not need a mega-expensive green religion since we do have green technology.<\/p>\n This presentation will address HKP-technology & technical materials examples in brief:<\/strong> b) energy and transportation, anti-corrosion and clean chemistry<\/u> c) civil engineering, clean building<\/u> d) TaraxagumTM, auto-tires from dandelion<\/u> For further details please contact Harry Hoster<\/a>.

The teaching labs have been modernised to become show pieces for the department, and the building now features improved sustainability and accessibility. The refurbishment has targeted a BREEAM Excellent standard which measures a building’s environmental performance and the effect it will have on the wider environment.<\/p>\n We would like to invite you to join us for the official opening of the refurbished building on Thursday 1 March 2017. You are welcome to join us at 2.30pm in the Physics building foyer where we will hear a few short speeches which will mark the completion of the refurbishment. Please do stay and join us afterwards for a celebratory drink. Lynne Haley<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fire door interface inspections will take place in Physics on 7th February 2018 from 9am.

We will be touring the building between 11-12:30 and will be using C36 for most of the day apart 11-13:00. The kitchen will not be available for use between 13:00 & 16:00 please use one of the other kitchens in the building.<\/p>\n Please make sure the kitchen area of Physics is clean and tidy by removing your pots from the draining board and clearing your rubbish, If not it will be boxed up.<\/p>\n Other dates to note are: February 7th 14th 21st 28th Many thanks for your support and apologies for any inconvenience caused.<\/p>\n Helen O’keeffe<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The next Physics Away Day will take place on Thursday 12th April at Green Lane Conference Centre, (Lancaster House Hotel).

Cambridge lab to be open to all<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nOpening the facility to researchers from outside Cambridge was crucial for the project to win government backing, said Andy Parker, head of the Cavendish Laboratory. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve said to the government is that in return for its investment, we\u2019ll make 25\u00a0per cent of the time on our facilities available to outside users on the same basis as our internal users,\u201d he said.
\nUniversities with no previous collaborations with Cambridge will have priority, Parker said.
\nThe lab\u2019s construction will be funded with \u00a375m each from the government, the university and the estate of audio-company founder Ray Dolby. A further \u00a375m is yet to be found but is being underwritten by the university.<\/p>\n
\nPrevious sharing schemes have been attempted through initiatives such as national infrastructure roadmaps, but have sometimes foundered in practice, says Parker. \u201cYou have to have a system in place that makes sharing possible, and that\u2019s what\u2019s really failed in previous initiatives.\u201d
\nTo deal with this, the lab\u2019s equipment\u2014including an electron microscope suite, cleanroom, low temperature lab and materials characterisation suites\u2014will be bookable online. Any time not claimed by academics will be available for industry use.<\/p>\nEnergy Lancaster Seminar Monday 5th February<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\nProfessor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell DBE FRS will officially open the building. Jocelyn is President of The Royal Society of Edinburgh and is Visiting Professor, Astrophysics, University of Oxford.

\nEvery month the University is required to test the interface between the fire alarm system and door control systems in all buildings with access control and\/or automatic doors.
\nThis work is undertaken by Honeywell Control Systems Ltd and requires the physical inspection of all doors controlled by the access control system while the fire alarm is active and the doors are locked. This check is to ensure that all doors on escape routes will allow evacuation in the event that the fire alarm is activated. In most cases the alarm will be silenced during the inspection, but for some older systems, where it is not possible to silence the alarm, the checks have to be conducted while the alarm is sounding. Owing for the requirement for the doors to be locked during this test some buildings, where access is required during the week, will be tested at the weekend.<\/p>\nInterview Days<\/strong><\/h2>\n
