120 min~ ~ ~ ~ General Notification ~ ~ ~ ~Oral Presentation(1) BEFORE you make an oral presentation, please copy your POWER POINT
FILE to the computer set in each room (A or B as shown below) to avoid any
trouble and save the time for change.

You can copy your file during the coffee

break just before the start of your session.

The Power Point software is for

Windows version only.
(2) Please do the virus check of your file necessarily before you take it out of yourcountry.

Otherwise, one infected file might cause serious troubles for all the

speakers !
(3) Basically all the presentations are made using LC projectors.

But, a person

who wants to use an Over-Head projector is requested to inform us about it inadvance before his (her) talk.

Poster Presentation(1) Posters must be set in the lunch time one day before the opening of actual
session.

* Poster session 1 (April 18th): set on April 17th in the lunch time
* Poster session 2 (April 20th): set on April 19th in the lunch time(2) Posters are set on the boards of 180 cm (horizontal) x 120 cm (vertical) size
using pins, which can be used freely in the poster session room.

Please leave

about 5 cm height on the top of each board, which is used for indication of theposter number.
(3) Posters must be taken off immediately at the closing time.

For all participants
The organizing committee of POLYCHAR is planning to give awards to theexcellent presentations made by young researchers and students.
