Blue Ribbon Panel report

The anticipated benefits of multiscale simulation to society are substantial. For example, the NSF Blue Ribbon Panel report on Simulation-based Engineering Science (http //www.nsf.gov/pubs/reports/sbes final report.pdf) describes benefits of accurate predictions for multiscale systems which include ...

The "Charple Report" to the Secretary of Commerce in 1967 presented succinct and timely proposals from a blue-ribbon panel of private citizens on "Technological Innovation Its Environment and Management." Many of these proposals were quite similar to those made by the private-sector Task Forces In the current Domestic Policy Review. 

In subsequent years, a new issue that bears on the composition of reformulated gasoline has surfaced. Concentrations of MTBE, presumably from gasoline leaks and spills that wash into natural waterways, have been found in drinking water. Because MTBE is not easily decomposed by natural processes or water treatment, it tends to remain where it has accumulated. It is reported to cause off tastes and odors in water. Also, it may be a carcinogen. In response to these concerns, a blue-ribbon panel of experts reviewed the evidence. In 2000, at their recommendation, efforts were begun to eliminate use of MTBE and promote further use of renewable oxygenates like ethanol. 

As recommended the BP Board of Directors established and funded an independent safety review panel in August 2005. This blue ribbon panel was chaired by former Secretary of State James A. Baker, 11. The mission was to review the BP s corporate safety culture, safety management systems, and corporate safety oversight at all five US North American refineries. The report, published in 2007, was officially named The Report of the BP US Refineries Independent Safety Review Panel, however it is commonly called the Baker Report. ... 

The problem of aging aircraft came to the forefront in the mid-1990s, largely as the result of the report of an Air Eorce Blue Ribbon Panel. The Air Force had a number of aircraft that were young in terms of fatigue cycles— the typical measure of aircraft age— but old in terms of years since construction. As such, tremendous cost and effort have been required to maintain these airplanes. ...
