The 23rd Pupil Colloquium will be held in Nottingham UK, from August 10th - 14th, 1999. For information about accommodation, please contact: Elemer.Szabadi@nottingham.ac.uk. Information is also available on the web site, at http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists-p-t/pupil/files/
This message is a call for abstracts, which should NOT be sent to Professor
Szabadi.
Rather, they should be sent to the Programme Organiser:
Peter Howarth
(email: p.a.howarth@lboro.ac.uk)
PLEASE take care in sending the abstracts to this address, and to no other - if you receive this message from a mailing list (e.g. the pupil list) DON’T ‘reply’ to the message as everyone else on the list will receive it as well!
I am on vacation until 9th April, and so abstracts received before this date will NOT be acknowledged until I return.
Presentations will be either by poster or by paper. If you wish to submit an abstract for this conference, the deadline for RECEIPT of abstracts is 16 July 1999.
My preference is for email submissions, or word processed documents (Microsoft Word, or HTML). If you really have to post the abstract, please send it to:
Dr. Peter Howarth
Department of Human Sciences
Loughborough University
Leicestershire
LE11 3TU
England

The "±" symbol should be avoided in favour of the three-character substitute "+/-". International authors should be aware that many diacritical marks (such as circumflex or umlaut) are treated by the computer as special control characters and therefore should be avoided unless essential to convey scientific content.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS - If absolutely necessary, special instructioUse of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at E:\listplex\SYSTEM\SCRIPTS\filearea.cgi line 455, If special formatting is essential for scientific clarity, authors may
