Additional Instructions for this Abstract:

In an effort to enhance the exposure of your work to MARC visitors and to encourage interactions both within and between fields we have decided to introduce a new element to this year's poster sessions: a Poster Hunt! During their exploration of the posters on offer, visitors will be encouraged to participate in a competition - completing a crossword based on clues pertaining to the posters they have visited. There will be one clue per poster, with a number clearly directing participants to your poster location. Prizes will be awarded. We request that you submit a suitable clue (i.e. a question topical to your poster) and answer (guidelines and examples below), together with your abstract, by the deadline of November 6, 5:00pm.

Please take the time to construct a clue and answer. The competition is designed to publicize your work and motivate fruitful discussions, not to encourage poster hopping! In addition, you are of course welcomed to participate in the competition during the poster session in which you are not presenting.

Poster Hunt Clue and Answer Submission Guidelines and Examples

We request that you submit a clue (or question) pertaining to the research presented in your poster along with a one word answer which will be incorporated into a crossword. Clues and answers should relate to a fundamental theme/concept/aim/result of either your specific project or your specific field of research. Difficultly level should be such that a graduate level scientist could discover the answer within about one minute of discussion of your work with you. The answer keyword should also be present in your abstract and/or poster itself. Answers must be alphabetic (i.e. comprise only letters). We may make minor grammatical modifications in order to suit crossword style (for example, alter question style or remove hyphens) but will contact you regarding significant changes. Please find examples below and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.

Photonics Ex. 1: Polymer solar cell research: typically, electron-hole pairs (excitons) are dissociated at the interface (heterojunction) between two different polymer materials.

Clue: The structure which dissociates excitons in a polymer solar cell.

Answer: Heterojunction.

Ex. 2: Nanocrystal/polymer LEDs: It was found in my research that in addition to direct charge injection into light emitting nanocrystals, charge is also indirectly transferred from the polymer to the nanocrystals by Forster Resonant Energy Transfer (FRET).

Clue: Charge transfer mechanism (other than direct injection) discovered to effect light emission from nanocrystals in nanocrystal/polymer LEDs.

Answer: FRET

Devices Ex. 1: Clue: Organic transistors in this work uses a p-type organic semiconductor named ______.

Answer: Pentacene

Circuits Ex. 2: Clue: This circuit measures the electrical signals generated by the human brain.
This signal is abbreviated as ___.

Answer: EEG
