Conductivity of Molten Semiconductors Building of Protein Structures Diamond Growth Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer in Propulsion Systems Interns Future Symposia Colloquium Series Special Seminars Visitors Supercomputing '98 Research Reports he Computational Neuroscience Program of the University of Minnesota, in conjunction with the Department of Neuroscience, the Graduate Programs in Scientific Computation and Neuroscience, and the Supercomputing Institute for Digital Simulation and Advanced Computation, will host a symposium on computational neuroscience on October 7 and 8 at the University of Minnesota campus. Topics include molecular mechanisms in ion channels, signal transduction, neurotransmission and receptors, computational models of vistibular and oculomotor control, robotics and computer vision, and neural network models. The Computational Neuroscience Program is supported in part by the National Science Foundation. Poster Papers The program committee has issued a call for poster papers related to the conference¹s topics. The deadline for submitting poster paper abstracts is August 22, 1999. Poster paper abstracts should be submitted to: Kathleen Clinton University of Minnesota Box 451 Mayo Memorial Building 420 Delaware Street SE Minneapolis, MN 55455 or, abstracts can be submitted electronically (postscript) to:     clinton@compneuro.umn.edu The maximum length of the abstract should be one (1) page. Poster papers in all areas of computational neuroscience are encouraged. Scholarships Funds are available to provide scholarship support for the attendance of graduate students and postdoctoral associates who present or are co-authors of poster papers. A scholarship includes the full registration fee plus up to $800 for travel expenses. The deadline for applying for scholarship awards is August 22, 1999.
