PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton - UK/EU students only

Submitted by fpierron1 on

This project is part of a larger effort aiming at designing the next generation of high strain rate tests of materials based on modern ultra-high speed deformation imaging and inverse identification. This project is partly funded by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) who have an interest in high strain rate behaviour of carbon fibre polymer matrix composites. The selected candidate will join a group of half a dozen researchers working on similar topics as part of the Photodyn project (www.photodyn.org).

Experimental studies recently performed on single cancer and healthy cells have demonstrated that the former are about 70% softer than the latter, regardless of the cell lines and the measurement technique used for determining the mechanical properties.

Simpleware at North Star Imaging 30th Anniversary Symposium, May 11-12 2016

Submitted by Simpleware on

May 11 - 12, 2016 - St. Michael Cinema, St. Michael, MN

This two-day conference will include national and international speakers discussing the latest in Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography systems and technology. Current users of X-ray and Computed Tomography will gain more knowledge to improve their operations. Those new to the X-ray/CT scanning will hear from peers how they utilize the technology within their industry.
