CHARTER of SCI.CHEM.ELECTROCHEM ******************************************************************************** The aim of the newsgroup SCI.CHEM.ELECTROCHEM is to provide an open discussion forum for the electrochemistry community on the INTERNET(NETNEWS/USENET). This newsgroup allows rapid, timely and focused discussions of opinions and information that would take months or years (or not at all) on conventional paper journals. Topics for discussion includes (but not exclusively): Synthesis Chemical processes Battery and energy storage Corrosion Biological processes Synthesis of inorganic and organic compounds Electrowinning/refining of metals Electrochemical engineering Industrial electrolysis Fuel cells Kinetics and mechanism of electrode reactions Theory of charge transfer reactions Structure of the electrochemical double layer Electroanalytical chemistry Electrochemical sensors Spectroelectrochemistry Photoelectrochemistry Conducting polymers Electrochemistry of semiconductors Electrochemical process technology in electronics Electrodeposition of metallic/semiconductor/nonmetallic/composite coatings Electroforming Electromachining Electroplating Electrodialysis (e.g. desalination) Software Databases Hardware/equipment - specs, opinions, etc. Applications Techniques Announcements/reviews of papers/conferences. General discussion/opinions/questions. Positions vacant Anything else that is relevant to electrochemistry in general. ETIQUETTE It is requested that posts and discussions on this newsgroup occur in a mature and constructive fashion. Encouraging politeness and courtesy provides the best chance for serving all users who would like to use this newsgroup as a scientific resource and discussion opportunity. It is also suggested that you post (not only mail) any answer you may supply to questions posted on the newsgroup. ******************************************************************************** (2.) SCI.CHEM.ELECTROCHEM available as the E-Mail list ELETQM-L ******************************************************************************** This makes the newsgroup accessible for those who do not have a newsreader service on their computer installation. To use the e-mail list, all you need is an e-mail connection. All messages posted on the newsgroup will be regularly mailed to the list, and all messages sent to the list will be regularly posted on the newsgroup. (While the list is on BITNET, it can be accessed through INTERNET with the addresses shown below, if you are using BITNET omit the ".BITNET" at the end of addresses.) (2.1) To subscribe to the list, send an e-mail message to: LISTSERV@BRUFU.BITNET Do not fill the subject line, and include in the text of message: SUBS ELETQM-L YOUR FULL NAME (e.g., John A. Doe or John Doe) You will receive an automatic acknowledgment and, in a separate message, a brief explanation about the use of the list. (2.2) To unsubscribe, send the e-mail message to LISTSERV : UNSUBSCRIBE ELETQM-L or SIGNOFF ELETQM-L (2.3) To send a message to the list, e-mail it to: ELETQM-L@BRUFU.BITNET (2.4) To obtain more information on listserv commands, send the e-mail message to LISTSERV : INFO REFCARD (2.5) To obtain general information about lists, send the e-mail messages to LISTSERV : GET LISTSERV MEMO and GET LISTFAQ MEMO ******************************************************************************** ELETQM-L is courtesy of Otavio L. Bottecchia, Federal University of Uberlandia, Brazil. With problems/questions contact: OTAVIO@BRUFU.BITNET ******************************************************************************** (3.) Archival of messages from SCI.CHEM.ELECTROCHEM/ELETQM-L ******************************************************************************** Newsgroup messages are typically not archived by NETNEWS. However, old messages that appeared on SCI.CHEM.ELECTROCHEM/ELETQM-L are available from two sources if you ever have the need for them. (3.1) They can be retrieved by anonymous ftp to sol.dmp.csiro.au:/pub/electrochem (192.68.132.2) The archived files are in an e-mail format. (All you have to do is use your e-mail program to treat the file as a folder. Then every article will be treated as a separate message). Included is a list of articles in chronological order. This is only a manual archive, so a couple of articles may be missing. Especially if the people crossposted the articles. If you have any problems using "ftp" contact your system manager or librarian for assistance. Following is an example of how to do a typical anonymous ftp session. Though graphical ftp software makes this much easier. ftp sol.dmp.csiro.au user anonymous (when it asks for password, enter your e-mail address) cd/pub/electrochem ls (gets a list of files) ascii (sets file transfer in ascii mode) get "filename" (i.e., : get archive.txt.12jul94, or get list.of.articles) (for local filename, give your choice of name for the file to be transferred) bye (exit ftp) (the requested file should now be in your directory under your chosen name) ******************************************************************************** The ftp archival service is courtesy of Lachlan M. D. Cranswick of CSIRO, Australia. With problems/questions contact: LACHLAN@DMP.CSIRO.AU ******************************************************************************** (3.2) All messages are archived on ELETQM-L e-mail list. (Starting with June of 1994.) (3.2.a) You must be a subscriber of ELETQM-L to retrieve old messages (see subscription/unsubscription and other information in section (2.) ) (3.2.b) To obtain a listing of all available monthly archival files, send the e-mail message to LISTSERV@BRUFU.BITNET : INDEX ELETQM-L (3.2.c) To obtain any of the files, send the e-mail message to LISTSERV : GET ELETQM-L LOGXXXX (3.2.d) The archived messages of ELETQM-L can be searched using listserv database functions. To obtain an introductory description about this service, send the e-mail message to LISTSERV : GET LISTDB MEMO ******************************************************************************** The ELETQM-L archival service is courtesy of Otavio L. Bottecchia, Federal University of Uberlandia, Brazil. With problems/questions contact: OTAVIO@BRUFU.BITNET ******************************************************************************** (4.) Reading the newsgroup via GOPHER and posting via E-Mail. ******************************************************************************** (4.1) Reading via GOPHER HINTS: Use the bookmark option of your gopher to enable you to go directly to the relevant menu item. In the UNIX generic gopher, before the "electrochem" menu option, type "a" and fill in the name. To now revisit the electrochem area, all you have to do is type "v" (view) and all you bookmarks will appear. Pick the electrochem bookmark you typed in previously. ******************************************************************************** There are three gopher servers listed here that can handle reading of newsgroups via gopher: (more additions welcome) Los Alamos National Laboratory Gopher (was very fast and extremely up to date) gopher gopher.lanl.gov or (gopher 128.165.3.1) 18. Network News (USENET)/ 2. All USENET Newsgroups/ 32. sci / 17. chem / 1. electrochem / ******************************************************************************** CSIRO Gopher (decent speed but the news into Australia has been slow lately) gopher commsun.its.csiro.au or (gopher 152.83.8.2) When a menu shows up, chose the following options :- USENET News - Internet Bulletin Board/ sci/ chem/ electrochem/ ******************************************************************************** Australian National University (Presently accessable from anywhere/anytime) gopher life.anu.edu.au or (gopher 150.203.38.74) 11. general - journals, phone email, news etc / 27. news/ 15. USENET News (via Canberra)/ 20. sci/ chem/ electrochem/ ******************************************************************************** (4.2) Posting via E-Mail E-mail articles to: SCI.CHEM.ELECTROCHEM.USENET@DECWRL.DEC.COM Everything else, such as title, and message text should be done as per a normal email message. As using the "alias" facility of your email program can make posting via email a very easy procedure. If your email program does not support this "alias" option: a) Consider changing to a "better" email program such as the public domain (i.e., free) "pine" software which is available for UNIX, DOS and Mac. This program is very user friendly and powerful (to obtain binaries, anonymous ftp to ftp.cac.washington.edu:/pine (140.142.100.6:/pine). (there are other programs around - e.g., Wintrumpet (MS-Windows), Eudora (Mac and MS-Windows), etc). b) Email the old fashioned way to to submit your message or article. ******************************************************************************** With problems/questions about GOPHER reading and posting through E-Mail contact: Lachlan M.
