The acceptable file type is PDF only. No other formats will be accepted. Note: We have encountered some difficulties with image quality in the past with PDF files created by TeX. If you use TeX to create a PDF file, please replace the default fonts with Adobe-like fonts in order for the image to be clear in both printed and screen formats. The Abstract Book for this meeting will be assembled into one PDF file and distributed to the meeting participants on CD-ROM (in color).

If you have any questions about the preparation or submission of your abstract, please contact Dr. Timothy Fitzsimmons at tim.fitzsimmons@science.doe.gov or 301-903-9830.
