Study of diathesis.
The study, then, has brought
the writer to the following conclusions: -1). Disease has significance for the patient, greater
than the study of its pathology has for the
physician.2). Such significance resides in the past history,
but has also something to say about the future.3). Psychiatric modes of examination will be of
increasing value to those who are interested in the relation of effect to cause.4). Our present increase of knowledge of hormones is
providing us with the link between physiology and
pathology.5). Treatment in the future is going to be much more
a concern for the psychiatrically trained than
appears at present.6). A more dynamic approach to illness is emerging, in
which our attention will be devoted more to the
evolution of health and sanity, than with the
static preoccupation with a diseased person.7). This will involve, therefore, a concern for the
following desiderata :- a). Psychiatric History.
b). Growth History.
c). Developmental indicators.
d). Family History.
e). Clinical History.
f). Clinical examination.
g). The attempted orientation of nature and nurture
to endocrine factors.
h). A definite policy of follow -up over some years.
i). An attempt at evaluation of the illness in terms
of the personality of the patient.
j). The successful application by psychotherapy to
meet the patient's need, both as a social unit
and as an individual.
k). As far as chronic ill -health is concerned,
at any rate, an attempt to reduce drug
treatment to a minimum, and to foster in the
patient more self-reliance.The present work began as a clinical and anthropometric
study based largely on actual observations made during the years
1928-1932, but as the full significance of those facts has
not yet made itself apparent, the writer has omitted any
detailed reference to them in order that the more general
and philosophical aspects, which have assumed for the
present greater preoccupation, might be elaborated

THE INFLUENCE OF PARTICLE CONCENTRATION ON THE FLUID PHASE OF AN AXISYMMETRIC MULTIPHASE IMPINGING JET
Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to determine the effect of particle concentration on the fluid phase of a solid-liquid multiphase impinging jet. Two spherical particles were considered, polystyrene of 1050 kg m-3 and glass of 2450 kg m-3, both with a diameter of 225 μm. The fluid axial and radial velocities are measured with particle volume fractions (φ) equal to 0, 1x10-4, 2x10-4 and 4x10-4.For both particle types as the concentration is increased, the level of axial velocity retained immediately prior to impingement (at 6 diameters from the pipe exit) also increases. At low particle concentrations the particles have little effect on the flow turbulence, however, at higher particle concentrations the particle effect becomes more significant, with a near doubling of the peak axial RMS velocity one diameter from the jet outlet in one case. The introduction of polystyrene particles has the effect of dampening radial and axial RMS velocities, except for at the highest concentration immediately after the jet outlet where the axial turbulence is enhanced by the particles
The Development of Careers Scotland’s Service Delivery Framework
This paper records the processes followed by Careers Scotland in differentiating the services offered to different groups of clients. It is designed to be of use both to Careers Scotland staff and to other organisations that are interested in exploring the adoption of similar models of service delivery
Benchmarking of CFD Modelling Closures for Two-Phase Turbulent Bubbly Flows
Eulerian-Eulerian computational fluid dynamic models are used in the prediction of multiphase gas-liquid flows in nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics and in many other chemical and process engineering applications. The modelling approach, based on the concept of interpenetrating continua, allows the calculation of complex and large-scale industrial flows with a relatively limited computational load. However, interfacial transfer processes need to be entirely modelled through numerous closure relations. A large number of different optimized closure sets are available, each often showing remarkable accuracy, but generally only over a few experimental data sets. This specificity makes it difficult to compare the overall accuracy of the models and obstructs the development of more general and robust approaches. In this paper, the bubbly flow models developed at the University of Leeds and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden - Rossendorf are benchmarked against relevant experiments. These two research groups follow a similar modelling approach, aimed at identifying a single universal set of widely applicable closures. The models, implemented respectively in Star-CCM+ and CFX, are applied to a large selection of bubbly flows in different geometries. The main focus is on the momentum transfer, mainly responsible for the lateral bubble distribution in any flow, and on turbulence closures. Therefore, monodispersed bubbly flows that can be effectively characterized with a single average bubble diameter are selected. Overall, the models are found to be generally reliable and robust, and additional developments towards further improved accuracy, increased generality and the definition of a common unified set of model
closures are identified. In future, additional benchmark exercises of this kind will be performed, and potentially the definition of proven sets of reference experiments will be recommended
An evaluation of the largest resource efficiency club programme in England (2005-2008) to underpin future design and delivery of a cost effective policy instrument.
In England, the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) allocated £5 million over three years from 2005 to 2008 to support the establishment of a wide range of innovative Resource Efficiency Clubs (RECs). During the funding period (2005 – 2008) the programme funded 70 RECs with 45 remaining active at the end of the three years (2008). Some 1,330 businesses were active in the 70 RECs with 1,014 providing data including potential and actual savings. In excess of £50 million of potential savings were identified and by the end of 2008 some £25 million were achieved. The total savings to total grant ratio for all RECs was, by 2008, some 5.8; this was in excess of the original ratio set by Defra. The Programme made clear to key decision makers that well designed RECs are a key policy instrument. The research showed that the future for RECs in England is uncertain and strategists should consider innovative ways to fund their continued contribution to national, regional and local practice
