Book Description
Excerpt from Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory Annual Report: Nas-Nrc Assessment Panel, February 13-14, 1992 Programmatic objectives of these and other core programs of the Laboratory have been reviewed by the individual Divisional subpanels and executive summaries of their findings are presented in this report as an overview for all panel members. Selected highlights of this years' programs follow in a summary format. These highlights are representative of Laboratory programs but are not meant to be all-inclusive. A more comprehensive review of the individual Division's programmatic outputs are given in the Division's Annual Reports. The prospects for 1992 represent continued growth in program expansion over 1991. Although the second funding increment for the Intelligent Processing of Materials initiative was not appropriated for FY 1992, limited, non-permanent funding was received from the Advanced Semiconductor initiative to enhance the modest msel program in electronic packaging materials. The new funds will be used to initiate projects in three areas: (1) to develop metrology to measure in the processing environment the degree of cure of thermosets used in microelectronic packagings; (2) to develop measurement and test methods to determine component solderability and the optimization of production-line soldering conditions; and (3) to develop the measurement technology to determine mechanical properties of thin-film materials typically used in fabrication of electronic packages and interconnections.

Book Description
Through two victorious world conflicts and a Cold War, the U.S. Navy and American ocean scientists drew ever closer, converting an early marriage of necessity into a relationship of astonishing achievement. Beginning in 1919, Gary Weir's An Ocean in Common traces the first forty-two years of their joint quest to understand each other and the deep ocean. Early in the twentieth century, American naval officers questioned the tactical and strategic significance of applied ocean science, demonstrating the gap between this kind of knowledge and that deemed critical to naval warfare. At the same time, scientists studying the ocean labored in their inadequately funded, discreet disciplines, seemingly content to keep naval warfare at arm's length. German U-boat success in World War I changed these views fundamentally, bringing ocean science insights to an increasing number of naval objectives. Driven primarily by anti-submarine priorities, the physics, chemistry, and geology of the ocean, more than its biology, became the early focus of American ocean studies. The World War II experience solidified the Navy's relationship with ocean scientists, and the years after 1945 found the American military investing heavily in both applied and basic research. Today, oceanography is a permanent resident on the bridge of American fighting ships and the Navy continues to provide much of the impetus and funding for fundamental research, in both naval and civilian laboratories. In An Ocean in Common Gary Weir focuses on the compelling motives and carefully engineered course that brought scientists and naval officers together, across a considerable cultural divide, to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of one another and the world ocean. Weir details how this alliance laid the powerful multidisciplinary foundation for long-range ocean communication and surveillance, modern submarine warfare, deep submergence, and the emergence of oceanography and ocean engineering as independent and vital fields of study.

Pages : 348
Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
