INTRODUCTION
------------
ATSIST's Abstract Collection Project is student-initated program as an
extra-curricular activity for Thai Students in Science and Technology
around the globe with support from NSTDA and OSTC. This project is run
by Thai students in voluntary basis at every corner of the world.
For several decades, a large number of Thai students has been working
on science and technology related research abroad. Some of these
projects have so much impact to the research societies in foreign
countries. However, once their discoveries were published in form of
papers/thesis, they were left behind as the students graduated and
returned back to Thailand.
Currently, there is no functioning mechanism to collect those
marvelous work and to allow people in Thailand to appreciate
the achievement and ability of Thai students abroad.
The abstract collection project was designed to fill in the gaps.
ATSIST, as a non-profit Thai student group in S&T in North America,
will collaborate with any Thai student groups through out the world to
collect our friends' paper/thesis abstracts. The collection will be
published into a book at the end of this year in Thailand by support
from NSTDA and OSTC. The collection will be shelved at various
libraries in Thailand as well as departments/companies in both
governmental and private sectors.
OBJECTIVE
---------
1) Establish a database collection of specialization among Thai
Students in Science and Technology related fields abroad
2) Promote Thai students' research abilities and specialization
to public
3) Enhance global academic and social interaction among Thai students
PROJECT PLAN
------------
ATSIST as a project coordinator is making initial contact with Thai
students on every continent. We have established connection with Thai
students in America, Europe, The Pacific Rim, and Australia. Many
have shown their interest and volunteered to support the program.
A system was designed by student collaboration in USA to provide an
automated data collector via internet. All of collected abstracts will
be processed and grouped/sorted, and later transferred to NSTDA's
computer in Bangkok for publishing into a book at the end of this
year.
The books will be distributed to various libraries in Thailand as well
as depatments/companies in both government and private sectors. In
addition, each of you whose abstract is published will also get a
copy.

You MUST send your asbstract to the given address below by
August 31, 1994 or else we will not be able to print your abstract
in time.
WHAT TO DO?
----------
1) SPREAD THE INFORMATION TO YOUR FRIENDS
Your help in promoting the abstract collection project is essential
for our success. We encourage all of you to spread this information to
friends, Thai student neibours, and others who might be interested.
Also, get your thesis/paper related to Science and Technology ready.
If you have time and willing to do some search, please look into your
library for abstracts of those who already graduated.
2) FILL IN THE PROVIDED FORMAT
It's very ESSENTIAL to return your abstract information strictly according
to provided format for automated handling. The format is enclosed at the
end of this announcement with an explicit example.
Coordinators who run this project are students like you who have limited time
and effort. Please save their time by following the format instruction and
look at the provided example as you fill in.
3) IF YOUR FRIENDS DON'T HAVE E-MAIL
To save our time, we prefer to collect information by E-mail. In case
your friends have no access to E-mail, please help them send the
information to us through your computer. But, at the last resource, we
still encourage you to provide the information with postage mails.
4) SEND YOUR ABSTRACT/S TO
E-MAIL
------
Please return filled out forms via E-mail, according to your
lastname, to
LAST NAME: A-M send to boon...@mit.edu

==============================================================
FORMAT AND EXAMPLE
------------------
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
Since your abstract will be processed by automated mail server, all
field codes (TI, AU, etc.) MUST begin at the FIRST COLUMN. There must be
no space or any other characters between field codes and colon. Here is
example:
TI: THE VP16 TRANSACTIVATOR PROTEIN OF HSV-1 HAS TWO INDEPENDENT
ACTIVATION DOMAINS WITH DIFFERENT STRUCTURES, MACHANISM OF ACTION,
AND HISTORIES.
In the example, TI: is a field code indicating the title of the abstract. It
begins at the first column and has nothing between TI and colon.
After submit, the mail server will reply an acknowledgement back to you. The
acknowledgement will inform you either the abstract has been successfully
updated or your abstract cannot be updated. It will also explain the reason
why the abstract is failed to update. Make the correction and resubmit.
------------------------------
TI: Title of the thesis.
AU: Author and co-author (putting your name first then co-authors, if any.
Please underline the first name of the abstarct as appeared in

AB: The HSV-1 virion protein termed VP16 (Vmw65, alpha-TIF) is a
potent transcriptional activator of the viral immediate early genes. A
domain comprising the carboxy-terminal 80 amino acids of this protein
is both neccessary and sufficient (given some specific DNA binding
mechanism) for transactivation. We have examined both the structure of
this domain and its mechanism of action by variety of genetic and
biochemical methods. Our results suggest that this domain encompasses
two distinct subdomains, either of which can activate transcription
independently. Analysis of site-directed and randomly-selected mutants
reveals that different pattern of amino acids are required for the
activity of of these subdomains, although both are acidic and rely
heavily on hydrophobic and aromatic residues. Fluorescence
spectroscopy experiments using uniquely positioned Trp residues
(or Trp analogs) confirm earlier reports that the activation domains
alone are largely unstructured; however, in the presence of
TATA-binding protein, significant structural stability is observed.
The two domains differ in their interactions with putative target
proteins including TFIID, TFIIH, and ADA2 by biochemical and genetic
criteria. By recombinding deleted mutations into the viral genome,
we can show that either subdomain is sufficient for VP16 function
in the virion; we are now testing whether differences in the IE gene
expression occur. Using sequence comparison method termed Hydrophobic
Cluster Analysis, similar subdomains can be regcognized in VP16
homologs from other alphaherpes viruses. Curiously, some of these
are found at the amino (rather than carboxly) terminus, raising
questions about the evolutionary history of these proteins.
