Conference
The International Symposium on Nondestructive Testing of Wood is a world-wide technical forum aimed to promote effective communication and information dissemination for recent research advancements and refinements of NDT/NDE technologies. It represents the full spectrum of interests, from basic and applied science to final acceptance of methods in the field.
