Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
There is a growing demand in the meat industry for a quantitative method of grading beef carcasses. Commercially available beef in the United States is graded subjectively by-certified United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors. This is done by visually determining the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat (IMFAT) or marbling in the ribeye muscle. A method for estimating quality attributes (such as marbling) in live animals would help cluster feedlot cattle into outcome groups for more effective marketing.
