0635457 DieboldScope: This proposal is to support a U.S.-Egypt workshop and conference on photoacoustic and photothermal phenomena, to be held in Cairo, Egypt, January 2007. The U.S. organizer is Gerald Diebold, Department of Chemistry, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island. The foreign organizers are Dr. Hassan Talaat, Department of Physics, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt and Dr. Sohair Negm, Faculty of Engineering, Benha University at Shoubra, Cairo, Egypt. Topics to be discussed include: nonlinear phenomena, inverse problems, imaging and microscopy, spectroscopy, determination of thermophysical properties, industrial applications and non-destructive testing, laser ultrasonics and ultrafast phenomena, electronic properties, thin films, biological applications, and applications in agriculture, food and the environment. The workshop will include sessions to discuss the various avenues of collaboration, including access of Middle Eastern students to US institutions where photoacoustic and photothermal science is being investigated, identification of postdoctoral researchers and potential for visiting faculty in US laboratories, the linking of research groups in the US and the Middle East to jointly work on common problems.Intellectual Merits: The conference will focus on cutting edge, front line research in the fields of photoacoustic and photothermal phenomena, and on the many current and expanding applications in various fields of technology. Speakers will be selected to present advances that have been made in the field. The conference will provide US and M.E. researchers the opportunity to discuss projects that represent the latest developments in the field. In most cases the research presented at the conference will of ongoing efforts, and will not have been yet published. The discussions in the workshop will focus on new directions in future research. The workshop will build on the ideas presented in the talks and will identify research areas and details of mechanisms where M.E. scientists can collaborate with American scientists.Broader Impact: Photoacoustic and photothermal science has had numerous practical applications of significant societal benefit in addition to the theory and fundamental science that has been uncovered. One particular application is medical imaging, where its contrast mechanism gives it a unique value among imaging modalities. In another application, the photoacoustic effect continues to serve as one of the most sensitive and practical methods for monitoring of trace toxic species in liquids and detection of trace pollutant gases in the atmosphere. Application of photoacoustic and photothermal effects has included the introduction of completely new technology for identification and characterization of semiconductors, for monitoring storage of food products, and for non destructive testing for flaws in high performance and sensitive components. The workshop will include women, minorities, junior scientists as well as graduate and undergraduate students from US institutions. Conference proceedings will be published and made available to wide audience in the US and the Middle East.

0635457 DieboldScope：该提案旨在支持将于 2007 年 1 月在埃及开罗举行的美国-埃及光声和光热现象研讨会和会议。美国组织者是罗德岛普罗维登斯布朗大学化学系的 Gerald Diebold 。国外组织者为埃及开罗艾因夏姆斯大学物理系的Hassan Talaat博士和埃及开罗舒布拉本哈大学工程学院的Sohair Negm博士。讨论的主题包括：非线性现象、反问题、成像和显微镜、光谱学、热物理性质的测定、工业应用和无损检测、激光超声和超快现象、电子性质、薄膜、生物应用和农业应用、食物和环境。 研讨会将包括讨论各种合作途径的会议，包括中东学生进入正在研究光声和光热科学的美国机构的机会、博士后研究人员的确定和美国实验室访问教师的潜力、研究小组的联系美国和中东共同努力解决共同问题。智力优势：会议将重点关注光声和光热现象领域的前沿、前沿研究，以及各个技术领域当前和不断扩展的应用。将选择演讲者来介绍该领域所取得的进展。 该会议将为美国和医学硕士的研究人员提供讨论代表该领域最新发展项目的机会。 在大多数情况下，会议上提出的研究将持续进行，并且尚未发表。 研讨会的讨论将集中于未来研究的新方向。该研讨会将以会谈中提出的想法为基础，并将确定 M.E. 科学家可以与美国科学家合作的研究领域和机制细节。 更广泛的影响：除了理论之外，光声和光热科学还有许多具有重大社会效益的实际应用以及已发现的基础科学。一个特殊的应用是医学成像，其对比机制使其在成像模式中具有独特的价值。在另一种应用中，光声效应仍然是监测液体中痕量有毒物质和检测大气中痕量污染物气体的最灵敏和实用的方法之一。光声和光热效应的应用包括引入全新的技术来识别和表征半导体、监控食品的储存以及高性能和敏感元件缺陷的无损检测。研讨会将包括来自美国机构的女性、少数族裔、初级科学家以及研究生和本科生。 会议论文集将出版并向美国和中东的广大观众开放。
