    CALL FOR PAPERS

    The Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical
    Engineers will be pleased to receive original abstracts in all areas of
    bioengineering for publication and presentation at the 1998
    International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition - ASME
    Winter Annual Meeting. The Highlight Topic for the meeting is "Global
    Technologies for the Competitive Edge". Submissions of abstracts in
    this or any area of bioengineering are encouraged. The Bioengineering
    Division will be organizing special sessions, several of which are
    described below.

    SOLID MECHANICS

    Impact biomechanics, joint mechanics; joint replacement; joint wear;
    bone mechanics; finite deformation of soft tissue; computer aided
    surgical planning and general topics.

    FLUID MECHANICS

    Cardiac valves; cardiac catheters; vessel wall and fluid mechanics; MEMS
    and microfluidmechanics; pulmonary and respiratory fluid mechanics;
    optimization of computational fluid mechanics; cellular and tissue
    engineering; flow visualization and virtual reality; and general
    biofluid mechanics.

    HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER

    Biothermal safety issues in consumer and industrial applications; laser
    induced transport in diagnostic and therapeutic applications; ice
    physics in biological systems; thermal, electrical and physically
    induced alterations in cells and tissue; modeling of heat and mass
    transfer in bio-systems; heat and mass transfer in whole organs; and
    novel instrumentation in biomedical applications; and bioheat and mass
    transfer in microgravity.

    DESIGN/REHABILITATION

    Seating design with emphasis on spine & vibration; MEMS; prosthetics &
    orthotics; joint mechanics; joint replacement & wear; cost issues in
    design of orthopedic implants; and gait and control.

    BIOMATERIALS

    Mechanics and biology of wear debris formation; mechanics of remodeling
    of tissue; cardiovascular biomaterials; orthopedic biomaterials.

    ABSTRACT FORMAT

    Abstracts are not to exceed to exceed two (2) pages (1 page of text and
    1 page of tables and figures are recommended), and are to be prepared
    and submitted following instructions in the abstract preparation
    instruction kit.

    STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION

    The Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical
    Engineers announces its Tenth Annual Student Paper Competition to be
    held at the 1998 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and
    Exposition - ASME Winter Annual Meeting, Anaheim, California; November
    15-20, 1998.

    ELIGIBILITY

    Papers will be accepted from both undergraduate and graduate students.
    Awards will be made at the Undergraduate, Masters, and Doctoral levels.
    Graduate students competing must not have completed the defense of their
    dissertation prior to submission of the abstract. Competition papers
    are not to be simultaneously submitted in response to the general Call
    for Papers. Student competitions papers that are accepted for
    presentation in the student competition may be considered for
    presentation at the regular scientific sessions.

    PAPER TOPICS

    Wide latitude is allowed in the topic of the students paper. Examples
    of acceptable papers include, but are not limited to: the design or
    evaluation of a medical device, the development of new instrumentation
    for conducting experiments or making physiological measurements,
    experimental research, and mathematical models. Survey papers will not
    be considered.

    HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER

    To submit a paper for competition you should prepare an abstract
    following the instructions for the submission of papers to the regular
    scientific sessions, and fill out an application form for the student
    paper competition which is included with the abstract preparation
    instructions kit.

    NOTIFICATION

    You will be notified in writing if your paper has been accepted for
    presentation at the student paper competition. The competition will be
    held during the first or second day of the Bioengineering Division
    scientific program, and the awards will b presented at the
    Bioengineering Division Banquet.

    JUDGING

    Selection of the best student papers will be made following the oral
    presentation. The judges will select the winning papers based upon the
    content of the work performed, the organization and clarity of the
    presentation, and the ability to answer questions about the work.
    Judging will be performed by senior investigators selected by the Honors
    Committee of the Bioengineering Division.

    ABSTRACT FORMAT

    Abstracts are not to exceed two (2) pages (1 page of text and 1 page of
    tables and figures are recommended), and are able to be prepared and
    submitted following instructions in the abstract preparation instruction
    kit.
