While SORMA had traditionally been held every four years, it has been only two years since the previous Sym- posium was held at the University of California. This increased frequency has largely been due to the step change in the world following the attacks on the U.S. World Trade Center, and the emergence of new international threats demanding our community's attention. Radiation detection and measurement science has always been an active field because of the large number of applications that depend upon our measurements, but the new emphasis on security has added demands on our technologies that were unimaginable more than a decade ago. The program that you are about to experience is the culmination of dedicated work of a few hardy vol- unteers. The Organizing Committee has been passionate about ensuring this forum remains open and accessible to all practitioners who are dedicated to our craft. Please join us in gratefully acknowledging the generosity of our Symposium Sponsors who understand the importance of our science and the value of this Symposium. Our exhibitors also would like to invite you to peruse their newest technologies and measurement tools. We have expanded into new spaces to accommodate all of the exhibitors who wished to attend SORMA. We tried to keep the cozy atmosphere while still placing the priority on the scientific program. The technical program before you is scientifically strong and shows remarkable innovations in critical technology areas, including semiconductors, scintillators, gas-filled detectors, ultra-high resolution devices, electronics, and the concepts that exploit them. The Program Committee has carefully selected these technical papers, split approximately evenly between poster and oral presentations, which span the rich spectrum of our field. The presentation format, oral or poster, was determined solely on the most impactful format to showcase the results. SORMA has always favored poster sessions as the predominant presentation method because of the longer exposure time, personal interaction, and warm hospitality. The presentation format is uncorrelated with assessed relevance, importance, novelty, maturity, or quality. If you want to re- ceive the full benefit from this conference, we encourage you to fully immerse yourself in the poster sessions. For your social program, we have chosen activities that will follow the successful programs of the past symposia. Please join us as we stroll to the reception Tuesday night at the University of Michigan Museum of Art. Once there, you will be treated with delectable hors d'oeuvres while being guided through the museum's fine exhibits. Our traditional dinner will return Wednesday night to the famous Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. We have asked that the gift shop remain open for those wishing to bring souvenirs home. On Thursday night, for those of you staying overnight for the MCNPX-Polimi workshop, there are many other sites worth seeing: watching the Detroit Tigers play a professional baseball game under the stars (the Twins are in town this week), taking in wild night life in Windsor, Canada, or even a scenic canoe trip down our local Huron River. We hope you will take full advantage of Michigan hospitality while you are with us. In closing, we welcome you to this wonderful opportunity to interact with superb colleagues and dear friends. Our community is linked by common interests and pursuits, and you will undoubtedly find the technical presentations by your colleagues to be stimulating and rewarding. Welcome! David. 2 Contents 1 Exhibitors 5 2 Social Programs 7 3 Instructions for Presenters 8 4 Bus Schedule 10 5 Program View of Papers 13 6 Abstracts 22 6.1 Plenary Abstracts . 22 6.2 Tuesday Afternoon . 25 6.2.1 Scintillation Detectors I (Tuesday 1:30 - 3:00 pm in Mendelssohn with David Wehe) 25 6.2.2 Particle/Photon Cancer Therapy, and Other Medical Imaging Applications (Tuesday 1:30 - 3:00 pm in Hussey with Ling-Jian Meng) . 26 6.2.3 Poster I - New Radiation Detectors (Tuesday 3:00 - 4:00 pm in Ballroom with Mark Hammig) . 28 6.2.4 Semiconductor Detectors I (Tuesday 4:00 - 5:30 pm in Mendelssohn with Alan Janos) 45 6.2.5 Neutron Facility, Characterization, Detectors and Generators (Tuesday 4:00 - 5:30 pm in Hussey with Mark Wrobel) . 47 6.3 Wednesday . 49 6.3.1 Neutron Detectors II (Wednesday 8:00 - 9:30 am in Mendelssohn with Donny Horn- back) ........................................... 49 6.3.2 PET, SPECT and Other Medical Imaging Techniques (Wednesday 8:00 - 9:30 am in Hussey with Kanai Shah) . 51 6.3.3 Poster II - Radiation Measurement Techniques (Wednesday 9:30 - 10:30 am in Ball- room with Shaun Clarke) . 53 6.3.4 Room-Temperature Semiconductor Detectors (Wednesday 10:30 - 12:00 pm in Mendelssohn with Mac Black) . 69 6.3.5 Algorithms and Modeling (Wednesday 10:30 - 12:00 pm in Hussey with Sara Pozzi) 71 6.3.6 Inorganic Scintillation Detectors (Wednesday 1:30 - 3:00 pm in Mendelssohn with Igor Jovanovic) . 72 6.3.7 Gamma-Ray Imaging Systems (Wednesday 1:30 - 3:00 pm in Hussey with Kai Vetter) 74 6.3.8 Poster III - Medical and Environmental Applications (Wednesday 3:00 - 4:00 pm in Ballroom with Patricia Schuster) . 76 6.3.9 Nonproliferation, Safeguards, and Homeland Security (Wednesday 4:00 - 5:30 pm in Mendelssohn with Sara Pozzi) . 89 6.3.10 Detector Electronics and Signal Processing (Wednesday 4:00 - 5:30 pm in Hussey with Gianluigi De Geronimo) . 91 6.4 Thursday . 93 6.4.1 Nonproliferation, National and Homeland Security Applications (Thursday 8:00 - 9:30 am in Mendelssohn with Zhong He) . 93 6.4.2 Unconventional Radiation Detectors and Techniques (Thursday 8:00 - 9:30 am in Hussey with Igor Jovanovic) . 94 6.4.3 Poster IV - Physics, Security Applications, and Signal Processing (Thursday 9:30 - 10:30 am in Ballroom with Angela Di Fulvio) . 96 6.4.4 Space and Nuclear Physics Applications (Thursday 10:30 - 12:00 pm in Mendelssohn with Zhong He) . 112 3 6.4.5 Scintillation Detectors III (Thursday 10:30 - 12:00 pm in Hussey with Marek Flaska) 113 6.4.6 Liquid Detectors for Neutrino Detection and Gas Detectors for Nuclear Physics (Thursday 1:30 - 3:00 pm in Mendelssohn with Zhong He) . 115 6.4.7 Radiation Detection using Mobile/UAVs (Thursday 1:30 - 3:00 pm in Hussey with Simon Labov) . 116 6.4.8 Plastic Scintillators (DNDO projects) (Thursday 3:30 - 5:00 pm in Mendelssohn with David Wehe) . 118 6.4.9 Active Interrogation Techniques (Thursday 3:30 - 5:00 pm in Hussey with Namdoo Moon)........................................... 120 7 Maps 122 7.1 Michigan League . 122 4 1 Exhibitors In League Ballroom ADIT Electron Tubes APL Engineered Materials Brekeley Nucleonics Corp CAEN CapeSym Eljen Technology H3D Hellma Materials Hilger Crystals Inrad Optics Niowave Nuctech Saint-Gobain Scintacor Scionix SensL Startfire Industries WIENER Power Electronics XIA In Michigan Room Alpha Spectra Inc Grirem Advanced Materials Hamamatsu ORTEC PHDS Silverside Detectors SpectralLabs 5 6 2 Social Programs Monday 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Opening Reception - Michigan League The Opening Reception will be held at the Michigan League in the Vandenberg and Hussey rooms on the second floor next to the registration table.

  • Florida and Puerto Rico Digital Newspaper Project ABSTRACT
    Florida and Puerto Rico Digital Newspaper Project ABSTRACT The University of Florida (UF) in partnership with the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) requests $343,850 (with $106,984 in combined contributed cost share from both institutions) to select, digitize, and make available to the Library of Congress 100,000 newspaper pages through the National Digital Newspaper Project (NDNP). Approximately half of the pages will come from historic Florida papers (1836‐1922) and the remaining half from newspapers published in Puerto Rico (1836‐1922). The project builds on previous NEH/NDNP newspaper digitization grant awards received by the George A. Smathers Libraries at UF and NEH funding for microfilming Puerto Rico newspapers received by UPR‐Rio Piedras Campus (UPR‐RP). The long history (since 1930) of the connection between the Latin American Collection at Smathers Libraries and the Caribbean makes possible the cooperation between UF and the UPR‐RP in this project. Previous successful cooperative work performed by UF and UPR with government documents projects, the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC), and most recently the digitization of the newspaper El Mundo (issues from 1928, 1938, and 1939) provides a sound foundation for this proposed expanded project. Although Puerto Rico newspapers are preserved on master microfilm, it should be noted that the vast majority of historical newspaper microfilming in Florida was performed by UF beginning in the 1940s. UF has the largest and most complete set of newspaper microfilm in the state. Newspapers chosen for digitization will be selected by Advisory Board members, consisting of librarians, history scholars, and journalists from both Puerto Rico and Florida.

When a beautiful pair of ospreys built their data nest atop a GRUCom telecommunications tower, solving the problem was a matter of great importance to us. We set about to find a solution that would benefit the ospreys and GRU. Our employees built an osprey-friendly platform and mounted it on top of a utility pole - then erected the struc ture near the GRUCom tower. The nest was moved to the platform while the ospreys were in flight, and upon their return they readily accepted their new home. The project was such a success that we built another osprey tower at our newly constructed Chapman's Pond Nature Trails - already known as one of the best birding sites in the county. Soon, another pair of ospreys had found a new home. Ponds, streams, waterfalls and general irrigation for the new park are provided through our reclaimed water program - another way we connect with our community. gru onnuoa report 01 from the general manager We strive to go "above and beyond" our customers' expectations and to antic ipate their needs before they arise. In that light, it was a year of progressive ini tiatives at GRU - one in which we enhanced our competitive position, expanded our ability to meet future demands and engaged in building positive relationships with our customers and employees.
