The American Nuclear Society’s Young Members Group (YMG) has announced the recipients of the 2012 ANS Young Members Advancement Award and the ANS Young Members Excellence Award.
The recipient of the Young Members Advancement Award is ANS’s Thermal and Hydraulics Division (THD), which receives the award for demonstrating strong support of YMG activities over the past several years.
Since 2006, the THD has been collaborating with the YMG to organize an annual research competition for young members: the Thermal Hydraulics Young Professional Research Competition. This competition has enjoyed continued success over the years, and has been one of the key events in the technical program within the THD. The competition also promotes the exchange of information and ideas between experienced and young professionals and has created an informal, but very effective, mentoring program.
The 2012 Young Members Excellence Award has gone to Dr. Elia Merzari, who has been recognized for his technical accomplishments, volunteer contributions to ANS, and dedication to expanding opportunities for young member involvement.
Merzari’s technical accomplishments include internationally recognized work on demonstrating the applicability of advanced computational fluid dynamics methods to the analysis of a variety of advanced reactor fuel assembly designs, and 14 published articles in referenced journals thus far in his early career.
Merzari’s ANS volunteer activities include working with the THD as a session organizer, session chair, and paper reviewer, and working with the YMG as secretary. His contribution to the advancement of young members includes undertaking the revitalization of the THD’s Young Members Paper Contest, and expanding the contest from a single entry to two full sessions at ANS winter meetings.
Please join us in congratulating the THD and Dr. Merzari for their accomplishments and thanking them for their contributions to the YMG!

I am trying to build a parking lot scene in Gazebo and spawn static models of different cars in different parking spots like below.
From, Google 3D Warehouse, I have downloaded a bunch of collada (.dae) models of different cars. However, I am having some trouble spawning them in the world to proper scale and pose using an SDF file (my sample SDF file). The scale and center of mass seems to be different for different models and that makes it diificult for me to automate model spawning with a simple plugin. In the above image, models 1, 2 and 3 are spawned in gui with the same sdf file with scale <1 1 1> and link pose <0 0 0 0 0 0>
If I know the corresponding L X W X H of the car bounding box in 'm', is itpossible to spawn the .dae mesh in the gazebo world to that size ?
If not, is there a way, I can get the size of the bounding box of the .dae mesh in units specified inside the .dae file ? I can scale it myself then.
I am looking for solutions that does not require my opening every model in a 3D model editor and exporting it to another format. Ideally, I want to figure this out from the .dae file itself.
You can visualize the center of mass of each model in the gazebo gui, also this is defined indirectly by the inertia element inside the sdf file.
Please note: Gazebo requires javascript to work properly, please enable javascript in your browser, here is how
