This Month's Introduction

April Issue in the Database

This Month's Issue focuses on the 14th International Symposium on Nondestructive Testing of Wood, held in May 2005 Eberswalde, Germany. We selected nine of the total 53 papers for publishing in NDT.net. The proceedings can be purchased in print by the publisher Shaker Verlag Germany. The conference authors G. Dill-Langer, W. Bernauer, S. Aicher of Univ. Saarbrücken continued their research, hence submitted for this issue their newest title "Reflection Measurements at Timber Glue-Lines by Means of Ultrasound Shear Waves". Media reports that wrong glue probable cause of the disaster that occurred in Reichenhall, Germany, January 2006. The authors are working in the MPA Institute and are involved in this subject.
