What we have learned. Discussion of variances (positive and negative) from plans. Detailed report on PSM pilot test strengths, weaknesses, implications, how the PSM system has been refined based on experience. (Note be prepared to justify any increase in resource requirements or any significant slippage in timetable.) Include discussion of local feedback— mechanisms and content—and acknowledge the contribution and cooperation of facility management and staff. 

The collaboration with many scientists over the years has had a major influence on the structure and content of this book. We are especially indebted to J. Rex Goates, who collaborated closely with one of the authors (JBO) for over thirty years, and has a close personal relationship with the other author (JBG). Two giants in the field of thermodynamics, W. F. Giauque and E. F. Westrum, Jr., served as our major professors in graduate school. Their passion for the discipline has been transmitted to us and we have tried in turn to pass it on to our students. One of us (JBG) also acknowledges Patrick A. G. O Hare who introduced her to thermodynamics as a challenging research area and has served as a mentor and friend for more than twenty years. 

The effects of physical factors such as temperature, soil moisture content, pH and oxygen availability on microbial survival and activity in soil are well documented (for a review, see Ref. 90). It is also widely acknowledged that these same factors may also influence plant growth and can therefore be presumed to influence both root exudation and rhizosphere microbial populations. 

The research on which this report is based was financed in part by the United States Department of the Interior, Geological Survey, through the Maine Land and Water Resources Center, and by a grant from Central Maine Power Company, Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company, and Bangor Hydro-Electric Company. We also acknowledge the typing and corrections of Patricia L. Heal and Ruby Ackert. Contents of this publication do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the United States Department of the Interior, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute their endorsement by the United States Government.

It is a pleasure to acknowledge the service to the subject provided by the publishers. Academic Press, and especially the indefatigable assistance given to the Editor over the years by Messrs R. S. Lawrence and R. Adams. My main thanks go to the contributors who have so readily come forward with ideas or responded to suggestions for timely reviews. Dr. Bethell and I hope that we shall continue to receive such cooperation, and will always welcome expressions of views on the series and its contents. 

The poster text is divided into the same general IMRD sections as the journal article Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. Similarly, most posters include an Acknowledgments section, some have an abbreviated References section, and all have a title and author list. Most posters do not include an abstract, in part because of space limitations and in part because an abstract already appears in the conference proceedings. Like the journal article, the IMRD structure of the poster follows an hourglass shape. The top (Introduction) and bottom (Discussion) sections have a broader focus, while the middle sections (Methods and Results) have a narrower focus. Each section of the poster can be divided into individual moves or steps that guide viewers in a conventional way through the content of each section. These moves are analyzed in the next part of the chapter.
