July, 2008 The 12th International Conference on Chemical Sensors (IMCS12) will be held in Columbus during July 13-16, 2008. This is technically the most popular gathering of scientists and technologists working in the area of chemical sensors around the world. More details about the conference including on-line submission of abstracts can be done by visiting the link below. The deadline is February 5, 2008.
Explosion Effects and Structural Design for Blast There are still openings but space is limited in a 2-day training course "Explosion Effects and Structural Design for Blast", July 22 and 23 in Washington, DC. Please forward this announcement to anyone you think may be interested. If you have questions, please contact Sam Kiger at Ph; 573-882-3285; Email; KigerS@missouri.edu. The web site for more information and secure on-line registration is http://www.blastdesigntraining.com/ Explosion Effects and Structural Design for Blast A 2-day training course at the Holiday Inn Washington Dulles Airport
Engineers, architects, first responders, builders and others will benefit from learning about explosion effects, protective design methods, and retrofit techniques. Most new government buildings now require some level of blast resistant design and many facilities require retrofitting to meet anti terrorism bomb protection criteria; this training will address those requirements. Each participant will receive a certificate indicating 15 Professional Development Hours (PDH) that can be used to meet continuing education requirements for professional engineers. The course will focus on the fundamentals of explosion effects, determining blast loads on structures, computing structural response to blast loads, and the design and retrofit of structures to resist blast effects. The emphasis will be on terrorist threats from vehicle bombs, but the fundamental concepts can be applied to other explosive scenarios. Currently available software and publications for blast effects and design guidance will be demonstrated and discussed. Much of the design guidance and software are restricted distribution to government agencies and their contractors, however specific information on how qualified users may obtain the software will be provided. Several computer programs for blast effects and blast design have recently been developed by the government for general release and those programs will be discussed along with instructions on how to obtain the software. All of the software and references discussed in this course are available free of charge to qualified users. Participant will gain an understanding of how to compute explosion effects like overpressure and impulse; how to calculate the resulting blast loading on a structure; how to compute structural response to blast loading; and practical methods for designing and retrofitting structures to resist blast effects. Participants will be provided a complete set of class notes. Participants may check in beginning at 7:30 am on July 22 and the course will run 8am to 5pm each day. Lunch and coffee at breaks will be provided for participants each day. For more information about the instructors, the course, and accommodations visit http://www.blastdesigntraining.com/ where secure on-line registration is available. Questions should be directed to Dr. Sam Kiger at 573-882-3285, KigerS@missouri.edu or Dr. Stan Woodson at 601-636-4429, woodsoneng@netzero.net . For room reservations call 800 HOLIDAY (800-465-4329) and mention Explosion Effects Training for the course room rate. The hotel web site is; www.hidullesairport.com.

Attendees at this conference will hear government and industry experts discuss the role of fusion centers in the homeland security mission. You will hear first hand from fusion centers that have clear operational and technical capabilities, as well as from fusion centers that are still developing their operational functions.
Speakers will provide insight into the functions, operations and the role of technology in the fusion center and how the three must be integrated for effective information sharing. Career intelligence officers will share insights into the training that is needed for analysts to effectively connect-the-dots when analyzing disparate data sources.
