A rapid slide flocculation test using bentonite particles sensitized with salmonella O somatic antigen extracts has been described. A polyvalent antigen was also prepared using a number of salmonella O extracts thereby making the test useful for the screening of either a monovalent antibody or covering a wide range of O groups. The sensitized test antigen can be lyophilized and, when rehydrated, yields reproducible results. This investigation marks the first reported successful sensitization of bentonite with polysaccharide material. The practical application of this test is now undergoing investigation.

Right from the early days of the process industries, continuous efforts have been made to develop and improve measures for prevention and mitigation of dust explosions in these industries. Nevertheless this hazard continues to threaten industries that manufacture, use and/or handle powders and dusts of a wide range of combustible materials. To improve methods for predicting explosion development in real industrial plant has been one major challenge. Hence, during the last years comprehensive numerical simulation codes, for addressing this problem, have been developed. Progress has also been made in other areas, for example, ignition source prevention. The importance of adopting inherently safer process design, by building on firm knowledge in powder science and technology, and of systematic education/training of personnel, is also emphasized.

Whereas walking for paraplegic patients is now a routine clinical option, ambulation for heavily handicapped cerebral palsy patients is less well established. There are good reasons for supposing that therapeutic benefits similar to that achieved with paraplegic patients are possible for this group. However, the biomechanical problems which must be overcome are different and in many ways more difficult to address. The most important factors are identified as appropriate truncal support, control of abduction/adduction, rotation and flexion range at the hip, and of knee flexion. A means of applying these controls is described as being a combination of a walking frame and orthosis. The special walking frame provides adjustable support at thoracic, abdominal and sacral levels and incorporates castor steering and upper limb support. Controls on lower limb movements are applied through a special orthosis which has a readily available variation of specification to accommodate the wide range of conditions met in cerebral palsy. Practical application of a prototype system has shown that it can enable patients to walk unaided. However, in most cases it was used indoors only. Evaluation of the experience in applying the system has enabled the fundamental principles to permit more practical applications to be defined.

There are abundant genetic resources of Populus in southwest China, which play an important role in scientific research and practical application. These resources are unfamiliar to the rest of the world and their value has not been widely appreciated; hence the purpose of this paper is to present the resources to the world, and to encourage more attention to be paid to them. There are 28 species, 20 varieties, and about 10 natural hybrids of Populus in the region. Of the 28 species, 25 are endemic to China, and 18 of them are indigenous to southwest China. So the region is regarded as one of the natural distribution and variation centres for Populus in China. The species fall into three floristic types: China–Japan, China–Himalayas, and ancient tropical; and show an obvious zonation in horizontal and vertical distribution with excellent adaptability to a wide range of environments. At present, only a few species are generally recognized, and to some extent grown and utilized, while most of them are still in natural conditions but face severe threat. It is therefore urgent to recognize, conserve and utilize these significant poplar resources.

Multiferroics have been known as materials exhibiting both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties in same phase, they have interesting physical properties as well as possibility of practical application in some new memories, spintronics and sensor devices. The present work reports the fabrication of pure and Nickel substituted Bismuth Ferrite by simple hydrothermal method at 180oC for 11 hours. The structural study was carried out using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and the Dielectric properties were investigated over a wide range of frequency and temperature. The image of SEM is in good agreement with the XRD analysis. The synthesis method is simple and cost effective. KEYWORDS: Multiferroics; Dielectric loss; Hydrothermal method; XRD.

Bilinear hysteretic models are an attractive choice in modeling the elasto-plastic behavior of various materials to alternate loads, due to their simplicity and ease of interpreting the results. However, choosing the parameters of the model without taking into account some restrictions can lead to highly unrealistic results. These restrictions are analyzed, and the allowable ranges for the model parameters are determined. The conclusions can be used for a wide range of plastic and composite materials. The significant errors that can occur in the case of the inadequate selection of model parameters are illustrated by a practical application.

Background: Apart from vision correction, there appears to be a need for a method of increasing the success of balance exercises by using more sensitive methods of detecting postural sway. Methods: Reference to relevant articles from a wide range of sources were used to examine how the well-established theoretical basis for motion parallax phenomena, and the examples of rifle and pistol shooting, can be used to explain the practical application of those principles to balance exercises. Results: An approach to balance enhancement exercises has been developed and a step by step set of instructions have been prepared that enable fall-risk patients to make motion parallax observations which detect small degrees of postural sway, and so allow for appropriate minor corrections to be achieved so that balance is maintained. Conclusions: These instructions provide a mechanism whereby balance can be maintained during balance improvement exercises with associated reduced need for major postural sway corrections which would otherwise risk over-correction and loss of balance. Improved performance during balance exercises may have the potential to promote the development and consolidation of the sensory integration required for maintaining balance outside the remedial balance exercise setting. Apart from helping to build confidence during a variety of balance exercises, these methods of balance control also appear to have relevance as supportive adjuncts to some strength and endurance exercises which are used to improve balance maintenance.

Cutting System

Structural sections used in the offshore and shipbuilding industries require a wide range of cutouts, end-cut configurations and edge preparations. Such shapes are currently sketched, layed-off, and cut with manual and/or semi-automatic methods. This paper describes the development of a high-throughput automated (computer numerical control) shape cutting line that incorporates all of the activities from the planning stage through to the finished workpiece. For the more complex shapes, a flexible automation (robotic) cutting system is described that includes an off-line programming capability. Two practical application examples are also detailed. It is concluded that section preparation is now an area that can be automated, with robotics being a feasible and flexible solution.
