    Quantitative imaging of concentrated suspensions under flow

    We review recent advances in imaging the flow of concentrated suspensions, focussing on the use of confocal microscopy to obtain time-resolved information on the single-particle level in these systems. After motivating the need for quantitative (confocal) imaging in suspension rheology, we briefly describe the particles, sample environments, microscopy tools and analysis algorithms needed to perform this kind of experiments. The second part of the review focusses on microscopic aspects of the flow of concentrated model hard-sphere-like suspensions, and the relation to non-linear rheological phenomena such as yielding, shear localization, wall slip and shear-induced ordering. Both Brownian and non-Brownian systems will be described. We show how quantitative imaging can improve our understanding of the connection between microscopic dynamics and bulk flow.Comment: Review on imaging hard-sphere suspensions, incl summary of methodology.

    Panel on special needs in research and instruction in whole number arithmetic

    Many children have difficulties or problems with learning mathematics. While these difficulties or problems may occur at any stage in learners’ mathematical development, by far the most attention of researchers and practitioners goes to the domain of early and elementary mathematics and, more specifically, to the domain of whole number arithmetic (WNA). Even though the issues of diagnosis of and instruction for children with special mathematical learning needs are getting increasing research attention, research in this area is still lagging behind compared with other academic subjects such as reading. Hereafter, we list some major open questions for research and practice
