U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: Electromagnetic Interference in Highly Advanced Social Systems / Honolulu, Hawaii / August 1988

该奖项将支持八名美国科学家参加由俄亥俄州立大学的Stephen Sebo教授和日本东京大学的Tatsuo Kawamura教授联合举办的关于高度先进社会系统中的电磁干扰的研讨会。美国、日本和受邀的第三国与会者将于1988年8月在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁会晤。研讨会将侧重于了解输电系统、自然闪电和核爆炸引起的电磁脉冲；覆盖广泛频率范围的电磁场测量技术，包括程序和标准化；以及有害电磁场的环境效应及其对社会的影响。高度发达的社会系统(如电力系统、通信和信息系统、国家安全)的许多关键要素对电磁干扰都很敏感。然而，这种干扰的性质及其生物和社会影响从未得到系统的解决。本次研讨会将提供一个交流研究成果和思想的论坛。关于测量技术标准化和测量结果评价的讨论应被证明在推动该领域的发展方面特别有价值。

This award will support the participation of eight U.S. scientists in a seminar on Electromagnetic Interference in Highly Advanced Social Systems, organized jointly by Professor Stephen Sebo of Ohio State University and Professor Tatsuo Kawamura of the University of Tokyo, Japan. United States, Japanese and invited third-country participants will meet in Honolulu, Hawaii during August 1988. The seminar will focus on understanding of electromagnetic pulses caused by power transmission systems, natural lightnings and nuclear explosions; measurement techniques of electromagnetic fields covering a broad frequency range, including procedures and standardization; and,the environmental effects of hazardous electromagnetic fields and their impact on society. Many key elements of highly advanced social systems (e.g., electric power systems, communication and information systems, national security) are sensitive to electromagnetic interference. Yet, the nature of such interferences, and their biological and societal impacts, have never been systematically addressed. This seminar will provide a forum for the exchange of research results and ideas. Discussions on the standardization of measuring techniques and the evaluation of measured results should prove particularly valuable in advancing the field.
