Greetings! Please remember that the ABSTRACT DEADLINE for COLA'97 - The
Fourth International Conference on Laser Ablation - is APRIL
15, 1997. The housing forms are being printed, and will be sent to you
soon (they are due back on MAY 15, 1997).
Abstracts should arrive by mail to R. Russo at the address below on or
before April 15, 1997.

Instructions for the format of the abstracts are on the back of the print
brochure, and are also available on the website
(http://www.ornl.gov/~cola). They are summarized below:
HOW TO PREPARE AN ABSTRACT FOR COLA'97 - THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE ON LASER ABLATION
Abstracts should be prepared on a single page (8.5" x 11") of paper with 1"
margins all around. All text (10 to 12-point type) and figures (if any)
should fit within these margins. Title should be in all-caps or bold, and
centered. Names, affiliations, mailing and E-mail addresses should follow
(centered) with the presenting author underlined. The body should be
single-spaced with a blank line between paragraphs (left or
full-justified). New paragraphs should be indented. The abstracts should be
mailed to R. Russo at the above address and should arrive on or before
APRIL 15, 1997.
Please send one 'clean' copy for direct inclusion into our abstract book.
One additional copy should be marked with your preference of "POSTER" or
"ORAL" presentation for our sorting procedure. On this copy, please
indicate the E-mail address to which notification should be made as to the
results of the acceptance and poster/oral decisions. Also, please indicate
which TOPIC AREA (see below) is most appropriate for your paper. The
abstracts are meant to provide a good preview of the work to be presented
at the conference, while the original results will be published in the
conference Proceedings.
