Abstract

A study using the direct calorimetric method shows that a long stimulatory effect of 2 hour moderate aerobic activity fails to promote the resting energy expenditure over 24 hours in non-athletic lean male adults. Although the total 24 hour energy expenditure is higher during exercising than during non-exercising days, the difference is nonsignificant after the removal of the heat production factor during exercise. The heart rate is also the same for both the periods.

Abstract

It is just three years ago, in October 2009, that the European Commission provided support, under the Framework Programme 7, for the European Foresight Platform (EFP) - supporting forward looking decision-making. EFP was designed to succeed, and build upon, the pioneering efforts of the European Foresight Moni-toring Network (EFMN). The EFMN provided the first comprehensive database of foresight projects, presented in a form that allowed easy interrogation and analysis, which rapidly became the essential starting point of foresight activities around the world. The other precedent was FORLEARN, the com-prehensive Web-based foresight instructional tool, which I and many other practitioners drew upon in developing foresight capacity in many countries across the globe. EFP, however, had a rather different remit to both EFMN and FORLEARN. Given the progress in the uptake and practice of foresight, this Coordination and Support Action was not intended to initiate, organise or perform foresight exercises. Rather, as the Chapter by van der Giessen and Marinelli shows, the aim was “to ensure systematic use and optimum benefit of foresight expertise and to identi-fy and mobilise all relevant actors to enable EU-wide network and capacity building”. Three additional objectives were to interconnect with other networks, to identify the impacts of foresight on decision-making, and to provide input to foresight processes in Europe

Abstract

An investigation into the possible causes of childhood cancer has been carried out throughout England, Scotland and Wales over the period 1991-1998. All children known to be suffering from one or other type of the disease over periods of 4-5 years have been included, and control children matched for sex, age and area of residence have been selected at random from population registers. Information about both groups of children (with and without cancer) has been obtained from parental questionnaires, general practitioners' and hospital records, and from measurement of the extent of exposure to radon gas, terrestrial gamma radiation, and electric and magnetic fields. Samples of blood have also been obtained from the affected children and their parents and stored. Altogether 3,838 children with cancer, including 1,736 with leukaemia, and 7,629 unaffected children have been studied. Detailed accounts are given of the nature of the information obtained in sections describing the general methodology of the study, the measurement of exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, the classification of solid tumours and leukaemias, and the biological material available for genetic analysis.

40. Holocene deposits of the northern North Sea evidence for dynamic control of their mineral and chemical composition

Author

Johnson, T. C., Elkins, S. R., Johnson, T. C., and Elkins, S. R.

Abstract

Tidal currents and waves have caused some reworking and redistribution of Holocene sediments in the northern North Sea, with preferential deposition of fines in topographic depressions. This has led to a patchy distribution of sediments in terms of their textural, mineralogical and chemical composition. Nevertheless discernable relationships are found to exist between mean grain size and composition of the sediments. The relative abundance of biogenic components (primarily benthic Foraminifera) in the sand-size fraction of the sediments increases as mean grain size decreases, thus biogenic components are relatively more abundant in bathymetric lows. Coarse-grained sediments rich in detrital quartz show higher values of Si/ AI than do fine-grained sediments. Smectite is concentrated in the finest-grained sediments, whereas illite is relatively more abundant in coarser deposits. Thus clay mineral segregation processes previously reported to occur near river mouths also occur in an open shelf environment. Fine-grained, smectite-rich sediments show correspondingly higher values of Fe/ AI and lower values of K/ AI compared to the coarser deposits enriched in illite.

Abstract

Effort was directed towards AlCl3 impregnating studies and radome fabricating studies. The AlC13 studies were continued to determine the impregnating method that would increase the strength and decrease the porosity of slip-cast fused silica. Four different impregnating methods were evaluated and found effective in the following order: (1) simple exposure, (2) boiling, (3) vacuum-pressure, and (4) pressure. The order according to effectiveness in increasing transverse strength was (1) vacuum pressure, (2) pressure, (3) simple exposure, and (4) boiling. The effects of surface skin (fine particles of fused silica developed during initial casting) removal were studied in conjunction with AlCl3 studies. In general, the removal of the surface skin decreased the strength of the slip-cast fused silica impregnated by 4 impregnating methods. The bulk diffusion rate and the tendency to develop closed pores was decreased. A procedure was developed for pressure casting radomes from fused silica slips that provided a casting time of 80 minutes, or a reduction of about 9 hr over conventional slip-casting procedures to form a 3/8-n.-thick x 15-in.-diam x 32-in.-high radome.
