Tenth International Conference on Mechanics in Medicine and Biology, Honolulu, Hawaii

9812777杨安“国际医学与生物力学会议”于1998年3月2日至5日在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行。这次会议是1978年在德国亚琛开始的一系列非常成功的专门国际会议的第10次。美国主办了10次会议中的3次，这些会议是交流力学和医学最新发展信息的重要论坛。与会者来自生物医学工程、生命科学和医学。第十次会议包括24个会议的约87个报告，涵盖了生物机械工程的前沿课题。对国家科学基金会计划目标具有重要意义的领域包括生物材料、生物技术、骨结构、心脏力学、成像、植入物设计、康复和组织力学。一些年轻的研究人员出席了会议。会议记录将通过BITNET向广大观众提供，BITNET是利用互联网提供生物医学工程信息的主要分销商。

9812777 Yang An "International Conference on Mechanics in Medicine and Biology" was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, March 2-5, 1998. The meeting was the 10th of a highly successful series of specialized international assemblies that began in 1978 in Aachen, Germany. The United States hosted 3 of the 10 conferences, which serve as an important forum for the exchange of information about recent developments in mechanics and medicine. Participants are from biomedical engineering, the life sciences, and medicine.The 10th meeting included some 87 presentations in 24 sessions encompassing a wide range of topics at the forefront of biomechanical engineering. Presentations in areas of importance to National Science Foundation program objectives included biomaterials, biotechnology, bone structure, cardiac mechanics, imaging, implant design, rehabilitation, and tissue mechanics. A number of young investigators attended the conference.The conference proceedings are to be made available to a wide audience through BITNET, which is the major distributor of information about biomedical engineering using the Internet.***
