Hi, All First of all, it was great meeting and saying hello to many of you at the SMM Biennial Conference. I know I missed some of you who stopped by my wifes poster looking for me, but it was a bit overwhelming meeting so many people in one place. I thank you all for the many nice comments (any gifts) while I was there. I would also like to thank the authors who have sent along files of their new papers this month, it is very much appreciated. As you will see the digital library blew by the milestone of 10,000 files this month with all your help.
Anyway, here's the latest posting of new PDF's that are available. File sizes have been included. Abstracts also available on request. Please don't hit the reply button. Make all requests to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers and have a happy New Year!
