	BRP IUSS Research on Whales (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Beginning in 1993, using acoustic data from IUSS, we have studied the seasonal and geographic patterns of vocal activity for blue, fin, humpback, and minke whales from large portions of the western North Atlantic (east of the Canadian maritime provinces and the US eastern seaboard) and eastern North Atlantic (west of Britain and Ireland).
		The use of IUSS to monitor whale vocalizations in the western North Atlantic has been funded by the US Office of Naval Research and the Naval Research Laboratory.
		IUSS whale monitoring work in the eastern North Atlantic has been funded by the Atlantic Frontier Environmental Network through the (UK) Joint Nature Conservation Committee.

	Virtual upgrade
		The IUSS is a constructive force-on-force model for assessing the combat worth of systems and subsystems for both individual and small unit dismounted warriors in high-resolution combat operations.
		IUSS will soon boast advanced cognitive models that will allow computer-generated forces, within combat vignettes developed by the analyst, to behave more like real soldiers.
		The new IUSS will enable the forces to operate autonomously and choose their path and actions based on a dynamic battlefield, said Malabarba.

	International Union of Soil Sciences IUSS
		The IUSS website has been designed to provide IUSS members with information about the Union, and to provide links and interesting information about soil and soil related activities throughout the world.
		The number of monthly visits to the IUSS website has steadily increase and currently the site is visited over 100,000 times per year.
		One of the IUSS activities is the link with the Year of Planet Earth initiative, for which we have written the brochure "Soil - Earth's living skin".

		The IUSS Bulletin no. 105 has recently been published and can be viewed on the IUSS web page.
		The new arrangements are a major change from the previous arrangements as Officers of the Divisions and Commission will be elected before the next Congress, by the full membership rather than, as in the past, by the relatively small proportion of the membership who attended the Congress and participated in the elections.
		IUSS has introduced two awards which will be bestowed on outstanding scientists in the field of basic and applied soil science for the first time at the next Congress.

	CACI - News Release: 11/21/96 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		IUSS is a worldwide Navy system that detects and classifies undersea threats.
		Its scope of services includes stocking IUSS facilities and ships, analyzing usage data and maintaining appropriate inventories, managing automated logistics systems, helping to restructure sites and consolidate assets, providing operational budget and accounting, and administering all operations at the facility.
		In partnership with the IUSS Program, CACI has designed, developed, and implemented innovative logistics management processes and automated data management practices that enable efficient and successful ship deployments, shore-based operations, and program upgrades that exceed readiness requirements and deliver cost savings.

		The IUSS, in form of a four-week intensive course, is aimed at bright and motivated undergraduate students from around the world who are seriously considering a research career in the areas of astronomy and particle physics in PPARC’s remit.
		It will be expected that the selected participating undergraduate students for the course shall have at least two years studies completed in appropriate subjects and to be at least a year from receiving their undergraduate degrees.

	Reflections on the Past - Vision for the Future An Interview with the Commander, Undersea Surveillance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In a recent interview, the IUSS "Commodore" was vocal about his priorities, his hopes for IUSS, and what he will miss as he retires after 27 years in the Navy.
		Another thing that's become fairly obvious is that when a person leaves an IUSS facility, he or she really knows how theater ASW is conducted, how it is coordinated, and how information is passed.
		We were mired for decades in the idea that IUSS was a Cold War asset, that it was a deep water/blue water issue.

		It is the only medal awarded by the IUSS and is given for outstanding and sustained contribution in the discipline of soil micromorphology and to date there have been six awards H.J Altemüller, E. Yarilova, R. Brewer, G. Stoops, E.A FitzPatrick and L. Wilding.
		The Committee was supposed to discuss the nomination during the International Meeting on Micromorphology in Adana, September 2004, but the Committee, with the agreement of the General Assembly of micromorphologists held in Adana, has agreed to postpone the deadlines because of lack in the formality of the received proposals.

	Hormonally impregnated intrauterine systems (IUSs) versus other forms of reversible contraceptives as effective methods ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The review of trials compared IUDs to IUSs and found there was no difference in the rate of unplanned pregnancies.
		An advantage of these hormonally impregnated intrauterine systems (IUS) is that they are relatively maintenance free, with users having to consciously discontinue using them to become pregnant rather than taking a proactive daily decision to avoid conception.
		Twenty-one RCTs comparing hormonally impregnated IUSs to a reversible contraceptive method met the inclusion criteria and it was possible to include eight of these in the meta-analyses, four comparing LNG-20 IUSs with non-hormonal IUDs, one comparing the LNG-20 IUS with Norplant-2 and three comparing Progestasert with non-hormonal IUDs.

	Minutes of the Business Meeting ofIUSS Commission 1.1 Soil Morphology and Micromorphology
		The opportunity was taken to formally close Subcommission B, an event that had been overshadowed by the comprehensive changes introduced by the new IUSS organization.
		Ahmet Mermut reminded the group that the IUSS web site has a special reference to the Kubiena Award and thus nominations are open to the rest of the micromorphology community around the world.
		Geoff Humphreys said that the award is decided by the Medal Committee which is composed of all past recipients of the award, the chairman of the commission, and the secretary of the previous subcommission.

	Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS)
		The Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS) is comprised of fixed, mobile, and deployable acoustic arrays that provide vital tactical cueing to ASW forces.
		IUSS provides the Navy with its primary means of submarine detection both nuclear and diesel.
		The program has undergone a major transition from emphasis on maintaining a large dispersed surveillance force keyed to detection and tracking of Soviet submarines to a much smaller force that is effective against modern diesel and nuclear submarines in regional/littoral or broad ocean areas of interest.
