Research Scholars New Resources Summer Interns Contaminant Spread Liquid-Solid Flow Short Contact-Time Reactors Preconditioning Symposium Mantle Plumes Bioremediation Research Reports The Biological Process Technology Institute (BPTI) at the University of Minnesota recently began an exchange program with the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST). This agreement provides an exchange of academic personnel, information, and materials and is now working to organize a joint sumposia and initiate research between the University of Minnesota and NAIST. The typical exchange encompasses a three week period. Dr. Doug Hershberger of BPTI hosted five members of NAIST over the summer. The purpose of these collaborations is twofold. First, research is being planned in the areas of informatics, plant biotechnology, and bioremediation. Second, the two schools have begun work on a joint international symposium on biocatalytic processing and bioremediation to be held in Nara, Japan. The two groups will exchange personnel soon to begin working out details of this symposium. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
