READYREFERENCE |AWARDS&HONORS OUTSTANDING PAPER RECOGNITIONS Beginning in 1993, two Outstanding Paper Recognitions, one for Materials Evaluation and one for Research in Nondestructive Evaluation, replaced the Achievement Award. The purpose of these two recognitions is to encourage a high degree of effort toward technical, educational, or managerial achievement in NDT through publication in these ASNT journals. Recipients of the recognitions are selected on the merit of written contri- butions published by the Society during the previous calendar year. 1993 “Ultrasonic Evaluation of Solid State Bonds” (Materials Evaluation) Peter B.
