Members will be interested to know of progress and developments since the reorganization and expansion of the London office which were announced in the Journal for January 1944. In April 1944 a meeting of the Bureau of the Institute was held, when policy was considered and schemes for future work approved. A Consultative Committee was set up under the chairmanship of Sir Harms Vischer, and including French and Belgian members, to advise the officers on the development of the Institute's scientific and general activities within the framework laid down by the Executive Council before the war. The Linguistic Advisory Committee has been re-established under the chairmanship of Professor Ida Ward.

AbstractMinimally invasive surgery in some cases suffers from a limited view because certain areas are obscured by others. In this paper, a system is described, which can be used in minimally invasive procedures as an addition to a standard endoscope to improve the range of view. Through FEM simulation a magnetic circuit was designed to position the camera head. Subsequently, a camera positioning system was set up that includes an extracorporeal and an intracorporeal unit. The first controls the intracorporeal system. The latter has a camera inclination angle of up to 65° and an additional vertically downward viewing angle when aligned in parallel (inclination angle 0°). The panning angle is 360°. The camera system was evaluated in lab and cadaver trials. It has been found that the size of the intracorporeal system (16 × 10 × 150 mm) represents a major problem. Future work will focus of the reduction of the system’s size, the improvement of the camera image quality, and design changes considering mechanical stability.

The eighteenth plenary meeting of the International Cotton Advisory Committee was held in Washington, May 14–22, 1959. Governments from 34 countries were represented as members and 24 attended as observers; representatives from ten international organizations were also in attendance. Eight resolutions were adopted by the plenary meeting, the first four of which were concerned with budgetary matters. The fifth dealt with the future work program and instructed the secretariat to prepare a statement on government regulations on cotton and a report on harsh short staple cotton; the secretariat was also instructed to keep under review the extra-long staple cotton situation, to investigate the possibility of a similar survey on long staple cottons, and to provide as much information as possible on the effect of competition from the Soviet Union, communist China, and eastern Europe on world markets for cotton and cotton textiles. The sixth resolution drew attention to the present surplus situation of extra-long staples and indicated the desirability of convening a special meeting to examine the problems of this commodity with attention to production plans and policies, price and export policies, and steps needed to encourage consumption.

(One of the recommendations of the Schools Commission Aboriginal Consultative Group was that each department set up a Consultative Committee. Various of the State Departments have moved in this direction. Queensland was the first state to establish such a committee, and that committee has now presented personally to the Director General of Education in Queensland, its first report. We reproduce the Summary of Advice given by the Consultative Committee to the Director General, together with a list of members of the committee and its terms of reference. We know this will be of great interest to similar groups in other states and also to teachers and others concerned with the education of Aboriginal children. Ed.)

An experimental set-up for investigating macrosegregation formation due to deformation of an isotropic metallic mushy zone is presented. In the experiment, a semisolid Al-5.9wt%Cu sample is isothermally and non-uniformly compressed. Concentration and eutectic fraction are measured along selected lines, after quenching the sample. Results show that interdendritic liquid is pressed out of the central part of the sample to its outer part, increasing the concentration in this region. The experimental test is then addressed by a two-phase continuum model recently presented elsewhere. The modelling results show the same tendencies observed experimentally, although local variations in composition are not well correlated. Suggestions for future work are made.

The Laser Plasma Division at the Centre for Advanced Technology is engaged in a variety of research and development activities on laser-plasma interaction with special emphasis on laser-matter interaction at ultra-high intensities. An important aspect of our future work is studies in laser-plasma based acceleration using an elaborate infrastructural set-up of ultra-fast laser and plasma diagnostic systems and recently acquired 10TW, 50fs Ti :Sapphire laser system. This paper presents outline of the planned studies in this field.

In this article, the author contrasts the experience of the Convention on the Future of Europe 2002-2003 with the mandate for the Conference on the Future of Europe which commenced on May 9, 2021. He criticises that the Conference is deprived of fundamental structural elements that were success factors for the Convention: a clear mandate, a tight leadership, and the right to self-organise. Nevertheless, the author is convinced that the Conference still has every chance of giving the European Union a forward-looking impetus for reform. He derives five recommendations for the future work of the Conference. In particular, it must be set up considering the desired outcome, by defining a product that is to be established, and directing the work toward its creation. If the Conference serves solely as a sounding board for diffuse citizen concerns, its potential cannot be fully exploited.

Divisions of General Practice were set up to improve links between GPs and consumers, to develop a population health perspective in general practice, and to improve patient care. The Illawarra Division of General Practice established a consumer consultative committee as part of a broader strategy to achieve these objectives. An interview study with committee members indicates the difficulties experienced in this task and the persistence of two cultures. Various options are identified by which consumer participation might be improved as means of fostering better links, improved care and a population health perspective amongst GPs. The first step is a more sophisticated understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of current consultative arrangements.

New multimedia telecom commercial services are expected to embody a rich set of customized elementary services implementing customized behaviors. These challenges in a competitive telecom environment can benefit from the set up of a model to support the composition of private adaptive bouquets of services from elementary services and aspects. Our model named CoCTelS (Composition and Customization of Telecommunication Services) provides an environment in which to compose telecommunication services and non-functional aspects (behaviors, profiles and preferences). The generated private bouquets are virtual as the elementary services which compose them are shared : A private connector is generated to provide a call interface to the bouquet owner which take in charge the coordination of each execution and refer to the shared elementary services and aspects. A first implementation is provided and tested for private weather broadcast bouquet composition. This example is intended to show the feasibility, but more complex bunches will be developed based on the model. The paper shows how a bunch is composed according to the end-user's selections when configuring his bouquet out of line and then discuss automatable proof obligations. We also present our evaluation of the approach that has been carried out and the future work.
