VIEWING PROCEEDINGS PAPERS AND ABSTRACTS
Each abstract and/or paper is in a PDF format. However, if you opened the Word version the
links are as hyperlinks and should open using most browsers. Please note these links are
attached to the author whereas the PDF version, papers are attached to the page number. If you
opened the Word version, the page numbers will not open the file. Lastly, you may get a
message when using the PDF version that the paper cannot be opened, however, by clicking OK
it may open anyway.
Adobe Acrobat Version 9 was used to generate these files. The reader X is recommended but the
XI version may work as well, but it has not been tested recently. You may select an oral reading
of the papers if so desired. However, some of the words of the text are likely to be
mispronounced due to the technical nature of these documents.
The PDF files are named using the first page number of each entry and the primary author’s last
name. This will be noticeable when viewing the files from the file directory rather than the two
indices. However, some of the presenters did not submit abstracts. In these cases NAS appears
where the page number should appear indicating NO ABSTRACT SUBMITTED
The first index that follows the meeting index is for the most part are in alphabetical order
according to the primary author’s last name, but due to some differences between corresponding
author and first author, there are some exceptions. Again, place the pointer on the page number
and click the left mouse button.
