International Bird Strike Committee

Aircraft repeatedly prove that birds and aircraft cannot occupy the same airspace at the same time. In an average year about 3000 birdstrikes cause 50-80 million US dollars in damage to USAF aircraft. To the worldwide aviation fleet this problem is estimated to cost more than three billion US dollars per year. Factors for consideration in establishing birdstrike resistance requirements, and in ...

International Glutamate Technical Committee

While sodium reduction in the diet is an important objective, when salt (NaCl) levels are reduced in foods, its palatability is also generally decreased. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavour enhancer that contains about 12% sodium, which is less than half of that contained in regular table salt at about 39%. Therefore, by the addition of an appropriate amount of MSG, the palatability of low ...

International Committee for Future Accelerators

Dedicated electron cloud diagnostics developed at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) enabled for the first time detailed characterization of the electron cloud (EC) properties in a highintensity positron and electron storage ring. From in situ measurements of the electron flux and energy distribution at the vacuum chamber wall, electron cloud production mechanisms and details of the beam-cloud in...

International Program Committee: Co-Chairs

While many 3D scanning techniques can accurately record the geometry of sites and artifacts, a subject’s reflectance properties are often simplistically recorded as an RGB texture map. In reality, each point in a subject’s volume scatters incident illumination according to a complex 4D phase function unique to itself, yielding far richer reflectance behaviors than traditional texture acquisitio...
