The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) was incorporated in 1968 in order "to promote the increase of biomedical engineering knowledge and its utilization." The society unites specialists in biomedical engineering and other scientists who have educational, research, or practical experience in biomedical engineering or in an allied scientific field. The home page of BMES is http://www.bmes.org.
A Member must have a degree in biomedical engineering or a related field and documented evidence of interest and achievement in biomedical engineering. A Member must have conducted meritorious original research, or development, or application, or teaching in biomedical engineering and must now be engaged in biomedical engineering. Applicants for Membership must be sponsored by a Member or Senior member of the Society.
The Acoustical Society of America (ASA) created in 1929 is "the premier international scientific society, dedicated to increasing and diffusing the knowledge of acoustics and its practical applications." ASA is one of the most respected scientific societies of America. It publishes the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA), the most cited journal in Acoustics. The home page of ASA is http://asa.aip.org/.
Full Membership of ASA is elective. Although any individual working in acoustics or related field (with an academic degree, with a specialization in acoustics or related field or with equivalent professional work experience in acoustics) may apply for full Membership, election requires six months or more for processing and is based on recommendations given by two Full Members of the Society.
The American Physical Society (APS) is one of the biggest scientific society of America that unites all individuals interested in Physics and its applications. "In the firm belief that an understanding of the nature of the physical universe will be of benefit to all humanity, the Society shall have as its objective the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics." The home page of APS is http://www.aps.org.
The Division of Fluid Dynamics of the American Physical Society exists for the advancement and diffusion of knowledge of the physics of fluids with special emphasis on the dynamical theories of the liquid, plastic and gaseous states of matter under all conditions of temperature and pressure. The Division of Computational Physics explores the use of computers in physics research and education as well as the role of physics in the development of computer technology. Its goals are to promote research and development in computational physics, enhance the prestige and professional standing of its members, encourage scholarly publication, and promote international cooperation in these activities.
The Society of Rheology (SOR) created in 1929 is composed of physicists, chemists, biologists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in the advancing and applications of rheology, which is defined as the science of deformation and flow of matter. SOR publishes the Journal of Rheology, one of the most cited journals in the field of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics. Its home page is http://www.rheology.org/sor/.
The Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is open to all individuals interested in Applied Mathematics. The goals of SIAM are to advance the application of mathematics and computational science to science, engineering, industry, and society; to promote research that could lead to effective new mathematical and computational methods and techniques for science, engineering, industry, and society; to provide media for the exchange of information and ideas among mathematicians, engineers, and scientists. Its home page is http://www.siam.org.
The Center for Biodynamics of Boston University is a multidisciplinary, interdepartmental center whose mission is to advance training and research at the interfaces among dynamical systems, biology and engineering. Its home page is http://cbd.bu.edu/.
The Russian Acoustical Society (RAS) was established in accordance with the resolution of the XI All-Union Acoustical Conference held in June 1991. Today, the Society unites more than 500 members from 120 Scientific Institutions - Research Institutes, Universities, and other scientific organizations in 49 regions of Russia. RAS is a member of the ICA (International Commission for Acoustics), a full member of the EAA (European Acoustics Association), an associate member of the I-INCE (International Institute of Noise Control Engineering), and a cooperating member of the IIAV (International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration).
