Treatment of pneumonia with 2 sulphanilyl amino pyridine

Pneumonia has long held a place in the forefront of fatal diseases. . Despite the many investigations which have been carried out regarding its etiology and pathology, the therapeutic problem has remained one of pressing importance. The absence of any definite specific form of treatment has made pneumonia one of that long list of conditions in which the doctor could do little more than deal with the symptoms as they arose. In such a state of affairs, then, there was more than a grain of truth in the well known statement that the successful outcome of a case of pneumonia depended in no small measure on the nursing

Typewriter art: a modern anthology

This book brings together some of the best examples by typewriter artists around the world. As well as key historical work from the Bauhaus, H. N. Werkman and the concrete poets, there is art by contemporary practitioners, both typewriter artists who use the keyboard as a ‘palette’ to create artworks, and artists/typographers using the form as a compositional device

Industrial Relations as News

During 1976 a study of the treatment of industrial relations by tour New Zealand metropolitan newspapers was carried out at Massey University. In 1977 a larger study dealing with the treatment of industrial relations by television, radio and eight major newspapers was carried out at Canterbury University. In this article the authors examine the news coverage of industrial relations by the mass media taking account not only of the New Zealand but also of the American and British research findings

Australian co-operation with the national agricultural research project - Project Completion Report 1990

This Project Completion Report (PCR) has been written to meet the project monitoring requirements of AIDAB. Because the ACNARP Project was part of a larger joint WB/IFAD project known as the National Agricultural Research Project (NARP), a summary of ACNARP and its progress and achievements, cannot be divorced from NARP. The report should therefore be read within the context that ACNARP alone has not been responsible for all the developments and achievements listed. Achievements in relation to some of the project objectives have been the result of Thai inputs, often with advice from ACNARP, rather than being able to be attributed solely to ACNARP. There were also some objectives and components of the larger WB/IFAD NARP Project, for which there were no corresponding specific ACNARP inputs

Structural performance of fibrous plaster. Part 1:Physical and mechanical properties of hessian and glass fibre reinforced gypsum composites

Hessian fibre-reinforced gypsum, known as fibrous plaster, is a common material used for the manufacture of decorative features, including ceilings and walls in historic buildings, such as theatres and ballrooms, since the mid 19th century. It is still fabricated with modern materials for the decoration of new buildings in the UK, the Middle East and elsewhere. Following several recent failures of historic fibrous plaster ceilings in England, there is an urgent need to understand how these materials perform. There is no previous scientific investigation into the physical and mechanical properties of this material.As an initial experimental study, the microstructure of low and high density gypsum plaster were evaluated together with traditional hessian fabrics and modern glass fabrics, which are supplementing or replacing hessian fabrics. The chemical and physical characteristics were evaluated by X-ray diffraction,mercury intrusion porosimetry and dynamic vapour sorption. For the hessian, fibre density was measured and single filament strength measured to ascertain the effect of long-term ageing in new and historic material. Flexural tests were performed on gypsum plaster reinforced with different configurations of hessian and glass fabric reinforcements. Single filaments from historic hessian were weaker than filaments from new hessian and the larger scatter in strength was demonstrated using a Weibull distribution function. High density gypsum absorbed less moisture (0.2%) than low density gypsum (1%), as expected, but the jute fibres in the hessian absorbed more than 20% of the moisture. High density gypsum was considerably stronger than low density material, and random glass mats as reinforcement resulted in the highest flexural strengths and ability to yield to higher strains, due to enhanced interfacial bonding. This work will have high impact by providing a much needed basis for understanding the long-term degradation of fibrous plaster systems
