2007.7.30

So finally after a busy day, I’ve got some time to rest. I’ll first summarize the things I’ve done today.

1. Searching for the samples for 報帳，and then sent to 全成.

2. Searching for information and papers of PBDEs, esp. pentaBDE, figuring out the commercially used pentaBDEs are, there are seven isomers for pentaBDEs. So far I just checked two of them. They are PBDE-99, PBDE-116.

3. I discussed with 珮華about the experiment, including the process, the thoughts, and the results. And of course she explained what materials we’ve got so far at hand.

4. Then time was saved for the tutor.


It’s quitetiring, staring at the computer and brainstorming, trying to memorize and understand what 珮華 has taught me. Although I thought I could imagine how hard the work was, however, when I saw and thumbed through all those references and papers she showed me, it was such an astonishment. To my surprise, there were many many….some of the work was delicate.

Things need to be done tomorrow:

1. continuing on the PBDEs thing.
2. preparing for the meeting
3. read at least one paper for future redearch
4. powerpoint file of what I’m going to present in the meeting
