Jian-Guo Zheng / / LEXI

Hi, Magellan SEM users:

Here are new reservation rules for Magellan SEM, effective from June 23.

1) Magellan users may reserve the instrument three weeks in advance. Any reservation reserved more than 3 weeks in advance is not allowed and may be deleted without notice.

2) If you are not going to use all reserved time, you should sign up in the form at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlVa2cfmNf6XdEtWVktBbzctUVEyZjJkeFlWV3JyTlE&usp=drive_web#gid=0 . When your unused time is used by another user, the charge for the unused time may be exempted. If you are waiting to use the SEM, please check this form from time to time. You can get the open time when you sign up first .

3) If you neither show up during your reserved time and nor sign up in the Google doc , you will be charged at the full rate. This is a correction to the billing & rates section on LEXI website.

4) The maximum reservation time for day time (9am-5pm) of one week (starting from the 3rd day) is 5hrs for one user.

5) The maximum reservation time for one week (starting from the 3rd day) is 8hrs for one person.

6) Users can reserve as much time as they like within 48 hrs which start from the time when the user places the reservation.

7) Users are not allowed to change the reservation history and delete/revise any reservation within 24hrs of the reserved time. Users’ account will be downgraded or disabled when there is any violation to these reservation rules.

 

Please follow them carefully. I hope that these measures may help make the use of the SEM better.

 

Thanks,

Dear Magellan SEM users:

 

I have noticed that the Magellan SEM is very busy and the scheduling lasts for two weeks. Meanwhile, some users may not use all their reserved time. To make a good use of SEM time, I create a Google Doc form with a link at

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlVa2cfmNf6XdEtWVktBbzctUVEyZjJkeFlWV3JyTlE&usp=drive_web#gid=0

If you are not going to use all reserved time, you may sign up in the form. When your unused time is used by another user, the charge for the unused time may be exempted. If you are waiting to use the SEM, please check this form from time to time. You can get the open time when you sign up first .

Thanks,

Jian-Guo

Simpleware

Simpleware is a program that takes experimentally generated micro/nano-structure data and transports it into finite element meshes so that you may use other methods to analyze the finite element meshes.

LEXI and some UCI PIs purchased a floating license to Simpleware. Only one user can use the software at a time, so all users must reserve time to use the software on the LEXI reservation calendar. Anyone who wants to install the software must have the license file on their computer. To receive the license file and installation guide and be included into LEXI reservation system for simpleware, you need to sign up using the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlVa2cfmNf6XdGl4U1llN2pueXFsVzB5enlOU3N4UXc#gid=0

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jian-Guo
