First International Pressure Calibration Workshop, August 22-23, 1997, Misasa, Japan

这笔奖金将用于资助参加1997年8月在日本Misasa举行的国际压力校准研讨会的美国与会者的旅费。该研讨会由日本冈山大学地球内部研究所主办。研讨会的目的是制定一个国际公认的标准压力刻度，以涵盖最近在实验室中可复制的超高压范围。鉴于钻石砧细胞和其他高压设备的最新技术进步，这种规模的发展是必要的，这些设备已经扩展了实验可用的压力（同时可用的温度），远远超出了十年前的范围。* * *

9712301 Presnall This award will help support travel expenses for U.S. participants at the International Pressure Calibration Workshop to be held in Misasa, Japan in August 1997. The workshop is sponsored by the Institute for Study of the Earth's Interior at Okayama University in Japan. The purpose of the workshop is to develop an internationally accepted standard pressure scale to cover the recently attained range of ultra-high pressures now reproducible in the laboratory. The development of such a scale is necessary in light of recent technological advances with diamond-anvil cells and other high-pressure apparatus that has extended experimentally available pressures (and simultaneously available temperatures) well beyond the range accessible a decade ago. ***
