Although described as far back as 1898, the Ganser state is still a subject of controversy and causes discussions regarding its existence as a clinical entity, its psychopathology and its incidence. Lately, Goldin and Macdonald (1955) endeavoured to clarify the meaning of the Ganser state after a critical review of the literature. They provided an illustrative case report with some hitherto unreported features and psychological test results. Although their paper presents a wealth of valuable material, there are still some points which need further discussion and elucidation.

This paper surveys the applications of damper seals to provide the stable operation with respect to rotordynamics of centrifugal compressors. Damper seals are applied as sealing devices at the division wall of back-to-back compressors and at the balance piston of in-line compressors. They consist of a roughened surface on the stator that is typically created by a pattern of holes. Rotordynamically stable operation is shown by a lack of or a small bounded amount of SSV (subsynchronous vibration) at the first fundamental lateral critical frequency. Experience plots showing the use of damper seals will be presented. Case histories of the use of damper seals will be given. Stability analysis and full load full pressure test results will be reviewed. The test results show no SSV at the first critical frequency with the damper seals.

ABSTRACT52 recently abstinent chronic alcoholics were given repeated psychological tests and 20 of these had repeated CT scans. The first scan was done within 5 weeks of the last drink. The degree of measurably reversible cerebral atrophy on CT scan correlated negatively with the interval between the last drink and the first CT scan. Significantly more reversibility of cerebral atrophy was noted in those subjects claiming interscan abstinence. There were positive correlations between functional improvement scores on neurological exam and reversible cerebral atrophy measurements. Significant improvement on psychological test performance was restricted to patients tested initially within 3 weeks of the last drink. Both the CT results and the psychological test results suggest that reversible changes occur soon after the cessation of drinking.
