In 1999, APS Physics celebrated its centennial with the biggest-ever physics meeting in Atlanta.

In 2005, APS took the lead role in United States participation in the World Year of Physics, initiating several programs to broadly publicize physics during the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's annus mirabilis.

Einstein @ Home, one of the projects APS initiated during World Year of Physics, is an ongoing and popular distributed computing project.

During the summer of 2005, the society conducted an electronic poll, in which the majority of APS members preferred the name American Physics Society.

To promote public recognition of APS as a physics society, while retaining the name American Physical Society, the APS Executive Board adopted a new logo incorporating the phrase " APS Physics.

" General use of APS Physics to refer to APS or the American Physical Society is encouraged.

The new APS Physics logo was designed by Kerry G. Johnson.

Marvin Cohen, LBNL Faculty Senior Scientist, University Professor of Physics, University of California, Berkeley, who was APS President in November 2005, when the logo was approved by the Executive Board, said, " I like the logo.

In 1929, the APS started publishing Reviews of Modern Physics, a venue for longer review articles.

The APS has a publication entitled Physics, aiming to help physicists and physics students to learn about new developments outside of their own subfield.

He has received many prizes, among which the APS Irving Langmuir Prize for Chemical Physics ( 2003 ), the AVS Medard W. Welch Award for Surface Science ( 1997 ), the Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics ( 2008 ) and the Richard Feynman Prize ( 1999 ).

She has been elected to many offices in The American Physical Society ( APS ) and American Association for the Advancement of Science ( AAAS ), most recently President of the APS Forum on History of Physics ( 2004 – 2005 ), APS Forum on Physics and Society ( 1982 ), and APS Councilor-at-large of the Society ( 1977 – 81 ).

The APS website serves as a news portal for psychological science, distilling research results for a general audience, while maintaining a scientific approach to the field.

* Biography at APS Swim School website

The APS Stechkin is a Russian selective-fire machine pistol introduced into the Russian army in 1951.

In addition, the Stechkin APS has an automatic fire mode, which is selected using the safety lever.

APS has become less popular and is being discontinued.

This can be useful if extra telephoto reach is desired, as a certain lens on an APS sensor produces an image equivalent to a significantly longer lens on a 35mm film camera shot at the same distance from the subject, the equivalent length of which depends on the camera's field of view crop.

APS is a source of free radicals and is often used as an initiator for gel formation.

Nearer to town, and directly east and adjacent to Mission Santa Barbara, is a hill known locally as the " Riviera ," traversed by " Alameda Padre Serra " ( shortened APS ), " Father Serra's pathway.

* Hard X-ray Sciences — Argonne is home to one of the world ’ s largest high-energy light sources: the Advanced Photon Source ( APS ).

Advanced Photo System ( APS ) is a film format for still photography first produced in 1996.

Most APS cameras ( with the exception of some disposable cameras ) can record all three formats ; the format selection is indicated on the film by a series of exposed squares alongside the image area or recorded on the magnetic coating depending on the camera.

Unlike 135 film, processed ( developed ) APS film is stored in the original cartridge.

For identification, every roll of APS film has a six-digit ID code on the label, which is also stored magnetically and is visible on either end of the processed negative.

APS film is typically processed by using a small machine to transfer the exposed APS film from the original cartridge to a reloadable one, then re-attached to the original cartridge and rewound using another machine after processing.

The number of available APS film types and emulsions has declined, though APS film is still available from a small number of manufacturers.

DX ( Digital indeX ) encoding is an ANSI and I3A standard, originally introduced by Kodak in March 1983, for marking 135 and APS photographic film and film cartridges.

A proprietary list of DX numbers for APS and 135 film is prepared yearly or as needed.

The application support sublayer ( APS ) is the other main standard component of the layer, and as such it offers a well-defined interface and control services.

Stimulated by the increase in Federal funding in the period after the Second World War, and even more by the increased public involvement of scientists in the 1960s, the APS is active in public and governmental affairs, and in the international physics community.

The Stechkin APS made a comeback in the late 1970s, when Russian Spetsnaz special forces units in Afghanistan used suppressor-equipped machine pistols for clandestine missions in enemy territory, such as during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

During the 1990s, the Russian Stechkin APS was once again put into service, as a weapon for VIP bodyguards and for anti-terrorist hostage rescue teams that needed the capability for full automatic fire in emergencies.

* Center for Nanoscale Materials ( CNM ) – a user facility located on the APS which provides infrastructure and instruments to study nanotechnology and nanomaterials.

APS was mainly used for point and shoot amateur cameras, although some SLR systems were also created: Canon EOS IX, Minolta Vectis, Nikon Pronea with Nikon IX lenses.

APS SLR cameras were too expensive for the high-end amateur market when they first appeared, and professional photographers stuck with 35 mm cameras, which offered greater image quality and resolution.

Concurrently to their APS SLR film cameras, some manufacturers released lenses intended for use on APS film cameras-such as the Canon EF 22-55mm-which had a wider field of view to account for the relative-to-35mm crop factor.

Some of these lenses have survived and are now marketed towards use on " APS " digital SLRs for the same reason.

APS cameras were mostly produced in compact fully automatic form for the consumer point and shoot camera market.

As of 2009, new APS cameras are rarely seen for sale.

: Because the complexity of the climate makes accurate prediction difficult, the APS urges an enhanced effort to understand the effects of human activity on the Earth ’ s climate, and to provide the technological options for meeting the climate challenge in the near and longer terms.
