A collection of parasitic worms was made from Rattus rattus jarak (Bonhote) from Pulau Jarak, “which lies in the middle of the Malacca Straits between Penang and Port Swettenham and some 85 miles from the Sembilan Islands opposite the Dindings.” (Audy, 1950). It was collected by Dr. J. R. Audy, Senior Research Officer of the Division of Virus Research and Medical Zoology, Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur while investigating scrub-typhus on the island.

Oocyte cryopreservation has been used to restore fertility problems in women undergoing oocyte-toxic chemotherapy and also to salvage the genetic potential of endangered/valuable species. In domestic cats, knowledge regarding the cryopreservation technique of feline oocytes is rather limited. We examined the effect of OPS vitrification on zona pellucida ultrastructure and also the developmental competence of immature cat oocytes. Immature cat oocytes were vitrified using different CPA and CPA exposure techniques: (1) 2-step DMSO, n = 71; (2) 4-step DMSO, n = 78; (3) 2-step EG, n = 73; (4) 4-step EG, n = 117; (5) 2-step EG + DMSO, n = 67 and (6) 4-step EG + DMSO, n = 88. A combination of EG and DMSO or EG alone using 4-step equilibration technique yielded the highest maturation rates (28/88: 31.8% and 44/117: 37.6%, respectively). This was, however, significantly lower than nonvitrified controls (36/59, 61% maturation rate). We further examined the effect of OPS vitrification on ultrastructure of the zona pellucida using scanning electron microscopy and also to test the quality of the zona pellucida using sperm binding assay. Our modified OPS protocols did not significantly affect the appearance of zona pellucida of vitrified oocytes and also the number of tightly bound sperm as compared with controls (80.8 ± 63.8 v. 81.6 ± 70.4, respectively). Vitrification of immature oocytes significantly reduced the number of oocytes reaching cleavage and blastocyst stages compared with nonvitrified controls (24.8 and 7.5% v. 62.5 and 30.8% for cleavage and blastocyst formation rates, respectively). It is concluded that modification of OPS vitrification can be successfully applied for immature cat oocytes, in terms of zona pellucida ultrastructure, ability to bind sperm, and also their developmental competence.

As a cultural anthropologist who specializes in gender and sexuality research in Papua New Guinea (PNG), I was honored to become Senior Research Fellow of the Operational Research Unit (ORU) at the Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research (IMR) in Goroka, capital of Eastern Highlands Province. I now head the Anthropology Section thereof. Although I am the only anthropologist there, even our new behavioral health nursing officer can't seem to get enough tape transcription and use of Atlas.ti, a qualitative data software program! The anthropology bug that bit me long ago was spawned by qualitative parents. It infected me with a missionary zeal about qualitative methods and perspectives that I have tried to instill in our new ORU as we have taken on exciting new projects. As well, I have returned four times to the site of Ph.D. dissertation research I conducted over one decade ago—Daru, capital of PNG's Western Province. Adding to this, on August 2, 2003, I got married PNG-style (yep—bridewealth, pigs, and everything), to my longtime companion (Urakume Mahala, nee Cassandra Lee) who also fell in love with PNG.

Let us start with the title of the book. Its first part is hardly exciting.Several sociology publications currently carry similar titles: New Horizonsin Sociology, New Directions in Sociology, New Debates in Sociology, ormerely New Sociology. It seems that most people writing about sociologythese days must write something new or not write at all.What is new about this book can be seen from the second part of itstille, A Physico-Chemical Approach 10 Human Behavior-eye-catching, evenstartling. There have been organic, evolutionary, and ecological analogiesused by sociologists in the past, often with great success. However, physicochemicalanalogy is something else. If, by using this title. Dr. Beg had inmind to shock sociologists into reading his book from cover to cover, hemust be congratulated, for, no doubt, the title is intriguing, to say the least.The contents do not reveal too much about the book. However, theymust not be taken lightly. Wi.lson (1975) produced yet another "new" and assertedthat human values, even customs and traditions, are genetically transmittedfrom one generation to another. Since then, he has won a number of adherentsto his point of view. So here it is: a physico-chemical approach to sociology.If Harvard publishes treatises like Wilson's Sociobiology, how can we rejectHamdard's New Dimensions as being out of hand? After all , Wilson is azoologist with hardly a flair for sociology in his dossier.The author of this book, Mirza Arshad Ali Beg, is a trained andexperienced chemist with graduate degrees from Karachi (MSc.) and BritishColumbia (Ph.D.). He began in 1941 as a senior research officer at the PakistanCouncil of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) and in 1985 becamethe director of its facilities in Karachi. Since then, he has been promotedto the secretarial rank in this organization. Dr. Beg has also held severalimportant posts in national and international organizations.Apparently, Dr. Beg is a qualified, experienced researcher in chemistry.As such, it is to his credit that in this book he has ventured far afield fromhis area of specialization. This book is a testimony to the fact that sociologyis not, has not been, and must not be the exclusive domain of sociologists.All throughout its relatively brief history, sociology has benefitted from thecontributions of historians, philosophers, psychologists, even engineers. Thus,if a chemist is trying his hand this time, we must not be too shocked ...

The history of the creation and development of the research unit of the Iron and Steel Institute, the department of after-furnace treatment of cast iron is presented. From 1939 to 1983, this structural unit of the ISI was headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Natalya Aleksandrovna Voronova, then for 34 years, until 2017, the student and associate of N.A. Voronova – Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Shevchenko A.F., from 2017 to the present, the department is headed by Kislyakov V.G. During this period, a set of scientific research and development has provided an opportunity for the department staff to defend 3 doctoral and 16 master's theses. Two employees of the department were awarded the academic title of professor, and ten – senior research assistant. The evolution of the technological process and equipment for the processing of cast iron by granular magnesium in ladles of various capacities is shown. In particular, it was not possible to inject granular magnesium without additives with lances used to inject mixtures of magnesium with fillers into the melt due to blockage of the channel of the magnesium wire at the outlet of the lance. To solve this problem, a lance of a new design was developed, at the outlet of the channel of which an evaporation chamber was installed, the task of which was to remove the section of the lance channel from direct contact with cast iron. The design of tuyeres with evaporation chambers made it possible to virtually eliminate blockages of the tuyere channel. The studies of the interaction of magnesium with molten iron became the scientific basis for the creation of a modern highly automated process for the secondary refining of cast iron by mono-injection of magnesium without additives. This technology received the most successful application in the creation of modernized complexes at Chinese enterprises. Since 2001, 84 complexes of out-of-furnace desulphurization of pig iron and slag download using ISI technology with a total capacity of over 100 million tons/year of low-sulfur and pig iron-free slag have been built and commissioned at 39 plants in China.
