Letter from the Chair:

The 18th International Conference of the ISTVS will provide you a place where you can exchange ideas and information on the current research and technology developments in the field of terramechanics and terrain-machine systems.

Seoul, the capital of Republic of Korea, is one of the largest cities in the world, risen from the ashes of the Korean war to become a modern metropolis with a population of 10.6 million, and a political, economic, and educational hub of the country with many elegant historical attractions.

Seoul National University, founded in 1946, is the most prestigious university in Korea, is comprised of 16 colleges and 8 professional graduate schools with 1,800 professors and 28,000 students. The conference venue is located at the outskirts of the campus, about 1.5 km away from its center.

It is a real pleasure to extend to all ISTVS members, students, and nonmember professionals a cordial invitation to visit Seoul, Korea, for the 18th International Conference.

We've got a reminder for you and some stories from the week that you might have missed.

Tampa Conference Registration and Housing opens May 14, 11 am sharp EST | The more economical hotels fill up fast: Our conference partner ASA has moved the opening of the registration and housing signup about five weeks earlier than originally scheduled: please register at www.acsmeetings.org/register and book your hotel at www.acsmeetings.org/housing. Both open at 11am EDT on Tuesday, May 14.

Dr Corina Sandu honored by the SAE | We are pleased to share news of Dr. Corina Sandu, an editor of our Journal of Terramechanics and who so ably coordinated our 17th International Conference. She was presented with two awards by the Society of Automotive Engineers at the SAE 2013 World Congress: * The Forest R. McFarland Award, which "recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions toward the work of the SAE Engineering Meetings Board." * The Rodica Baranescu Award for Technical & Leadership Excellence in Commercial Vehicle Engineering "celebrates the successes of women in the engineering profession and to recognize their leadership and technical contributions in the Commercial Vehicle Engineering sector."

Dr. Sandu is an Associate Professor at Virginia Tech. She also currently leads an ARC research project (http://istvs.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a89f961e4b8d7f56705e0fc91&id=00df7e9677&e=77af6e2607) involving off-road soft-soil tire model development.

Using data scanned from the road ahead, suspension can be dynamically adapted, making the ride stiffer or softer. So far, it's in Mercedes’ only, apparently.

The weekend reads

New unmanned ground vehicle | This UGV is aimed at explosive ordnance disposal: a six-wheeled vehicle with a manipulator arm and a three-finger gripper. It includes a sensing system for control and dexterity to minimize damage to property and preserve forensic evidence. Top speed of 7.5 miles per hour; can also 'creep' for delicate operations. From Northrop Grumman. via LR

Happy Richter Scale Day | You may have missed this: Friday was International Richter Scale Day. It is the commemoration of the birth of Charles Francis Richter (26 April 1900–30 September 1985), the American seismologist who is the creator of the Richter scale in 1935. (ed.: GS Lutz Richter reports no relation!)

Survival tips for PhDs | To share with students you know: "A Survival Guide to Starting and Finishing a PhD"

Also for students... and their profs | Crazy wisdom for effective teaching: "Why I Let My Students Cheat On Their Game Theory Exam"

We're all interface designers | Great short read if you work on anything has a user interface. Cred: the author is the cofounder of a company with an app that has been downloaded 130 million times: "Cognitive Overhead, Or Why Your Product Isn’t As Simple As You Think"

Making email better | VSRE: like RSVP, but for email: "very short reply expected". Allows for dispensing with extra politeness; short, not rude. Longer explanation: original discussion and the blog post. Pair with NRN: "no reply necessary." Canonical list here.

Mordor's Fire | The Plosky Tolbachik volcano in Kamchatka, Russia, is terraforming actively this month and this guy’s taking amazing pictures. Here’s a live webcam where you might see some gaseous emissions.

And Ice | Cool off again with this picture of fresh tracks in Finland snow.

Off-highway goes hybrid | Excavators and wheel loaders: Deere, Caterpillar, Ricardo, Eaton, and Dana are all manufacturers bringing large hydraulic and electric power hybrid vehicles to market. SAE reports that benefits include reduced fuel consumption and emissions and improved performance through more consistent torque delivery. Read about a hybrid Humvee, too.

New rocky planets | NASA's Kepler has discovered two new planetary systems, including the smallest "habitable zone" planets so far. The "habitable zone" is the range of distance from a star where the surface temperature of an orbiting planet might be suitable for liquid water. NY Times story here.

Robot Futures: Cool, with a chance of lost humanity  | A new book by the head of Carnegie Mellon's Community Robotics, Education and Technology Empowerment (CREATE) Lab is a sober look at the human side effects of current robotics trends. Illah Nourbakhsh is also blogging on the topic.

Browse books at scale | Harvard Library Innovation Lab has launched a useful and appealing way to browse books at scale. StackLife shows a visualization of books on a scrollable shelf, turned sideways so you can read the spines. It always shows you books in a context: remember browsing the stacks, for those of us old enough to remember? FAQs here. Cf: Open Library. Digital Public Library of America.

We've all been there | The umbilical data cable of the Antares rocket got pulled accidentally 12 minutes before launch on Wednesday. Mission control lost all ability to communicate with the flight computer: scrub. Commiserate here. via ‏@adamspacemann

Hidden gem at Google | Google Alerts are one of Google's hidden gems. If you can think of a useful search that you perform on a semi-regular basis, Google Alerts can automate it for you. Set one up to follow your organization, for example, and you'll know when you are mentioned online by other.

And a Google Maps hack | You can often zoom in closer than the defaults allow using this trick.

Waterless washing | This could be big: LG is building a washing machine that doesn't use water. Really really efficient refridgerators, too. Next-gen smart appliances are on the way.

Neuroplasticity for fun and profit | Encouragement to always be learning: Why "Useless" Skills Like Juggling Are Still Worth Learning. (Editor: See next item for a quick way to neuroplay right now.)

Quick check on your computing age  | Harvard's Lab in the Wild is working to make computers more accessible and easier to use. Take this test and the program will guess your age. Created by the Intelligent Interactive Systems Group. (Editor: I scored a very generous 29, but only because I spend far too much time at a computer.)

Neologisms of our time | The 10 best words the internet has given English. How many do you know? Avatars. #Hashtags. Trolling. Memes. Cupertinos. Meh. Geeks. Don't know why he left out nerds.

Travel a lot? | You might pick up something useful here: How to Sleep on a Plane.
