Abstracts

We cordially invite you to submit an abstract for the 13th International
Symposium on Nondestructive Characterization of Materials.

Abstracts should not exceed 3,000 characters (including spaces) or a one-page
document. The program committee will evaluate all abstracts. Accepted
abstracts will be selected for oral presentations.

Abstracts should include: name, address, e-mail and phone numbers of all the
authors. The corresponding author should be listed as the first author of the
submission. All abstracts should be in English, submitted in Microsoft Word or
PDF format. Other formats will not be considered for presentation or
publication in the conference proceedings. The abstract should be e-mailed as
an attachment to the NDCM13@cnde.com.

Partial List of topics for the symposium:

The symposium also encourages papers addressing other issues of current and
future interest. Of considerable interest are state-of-the-art developments and
applications where the complex nature of materials is recognized. Furthermore,
discussions on the applications and possibilities for multi-technique
measurements of interdependent parameters and the evaluation of the data
through sophisticated computer analysis are also encouraged
